Sample Artwork

Summer is almost over....

Back from vacation and summer is almost over...well, not officially, but the planning for school next week sure makes it feel like summer is over. While on vacation I had some time to work on some layouts. In the next week I will be posting these as they are great examples of how to use the Make It From Your Heart idea books. Not only do they help you cut your paper effectively, they also provide wonderful inspiration. I will reference the pages I used for my layout so you can see "my take" on it. If you don't own a copy of one of these yet then get them!

Coming in September I will post a layout workshop I plan to host. A great way to show how the Chalk It Up paper can be used more than just for school photos.

What I want to know is, what inspires you? When working on a layout do you try to match the photo with colors? Do you try to have themed paper for the subject? Do you wing it? Do you scraplift from others? There is no right or wrong way to get your prjects done. I think most of the time we are just wishing we had MORE time, right?

Is it time to be thinking about school already ??? eek!

So I am faced with my first child going to school, all day....Kindergarten! It is crazy how fast my eldest has grown and the new endeavors he and I will be facing together with this new stage of his life. It is exciting and scary at the same time.

With that being said I thought I would share a really cute teacher stamp set from the current Idea Book. I know all you crafty moms out there have plans for the school year and this stamp set just might help!
