And now, for the inspiration!!!!

Now here is my National Scrapbooking Day Hop Project for you!

Each one of us that scrapbooks, is an artist. We share ourselves on paper every time we create. I wanted to create a layout that shared a little of my passion for poetry, so here it is..The Road Less Traveled

The journal tag is from the Noteworthy A paper, which I fussy cut. I added a little Aged Mahogany distress ink to it as well, which matches the color of the Sincerely collection perfectly.

 I love the font of the Alpha Stickers from the Sincerely collection. So beautiful!!!

 Here is the complete layout. I added some True Blood Glimmer Mist to the flowers to match them to the layout as well. Yup, the Sincerely collection is my favorite for sure.

Now it is your turn to leave a comment and let me know what you are doing for NSD. One lucky commenter will receive a gift of goodies from me to celebrate!!! After you've left your comment, hop on over to Kristin's Blog and see what she has created to celebrate National Scrapbooking Day with all of you.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy NSD to you

Matchstick Holder has Life Altering Moment

Lately, I've been doing a fair amount of altering and when I found this matchstick holder, it didn't have a chance. I grabbed some beautiful papers from the Sincerely collection by Trinity Paper Arts, my Helmar Acid Free Glue and went to town. The Sincerely collection is so beautiful and the colors are amazing.

I really like how this one turned out. I think it is the papers, but it might be that covered the tole painting underneath lol. Here it is in all its new found glory. Hope you like it too.

Also, I just wanted to share with all of you some fantastic news. The Helmar Design Team has been announced, and I am beyond honored to be the Coordinator for the team. Here are the amazingly talented artists I get the pleasure of working with.
