Stamping and Scrapbooking!

There are alot of scrapbookers out there who have not figured out how to add stamping into their layouts. I was one of them along time ago. This layout goes to show how a little stamping can really add beautiful embelishment to the page. The other great thing about stamping is you can use this embellishment over and over again. The cost per page goes down substantially.

So, I thought I would post a personal picture today of me and some of my closest friends. As we grow closer to Thanksgiving I remember all the things I am thankful for my family, friends and my blessing to do what I love. What are some of the things you are thankful for?

I think today I will sit down and craft for me! It is really rainy and gross here in Washington. I usually love the month of October because they are cold and clear, but November is when the rain rolls in and never stops until February!

Card Recipe:

CTMH Perfect Day Paper, Coco Ink, Say it in Style Stamp set, Hollyhock Ink

Stampin Up: Notebook Punch

File Tab Punch

It hard for me to post today because my mind is on the election. Now I am in the state of Washington and so our election results are still being totalled. I have to be honest and say that when the election was called I felt like our votes didn't count...it feels that way every year because we are not a battleground state or in the right timezone. So I will not bore you with my political views. I will just say I am in uncertain of where our country is headed and I pray for our safety and our freedom.

All Decked Out!

It's Fall!

Bob the Builder "Yes He Can"

Last night taking my son out trick or treating I realized it is Fall. Although, it is one of my favorite times of the year. I have to mourn that summer is gone. I know you are thinking Charla...summer has been gone for awhile, but I fell like I just realized it. Life goes so fast and sometimes I feel like I missed a whole season. Do you ever feel that way?
