Quote Challenge

Everyone knows by now that I am a quote hound. I just love them.

March is always the longest month in the year for me. The days seem to drag on forever and the sun begins to tease us that Spring is on it's way. I found this great quote:

"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade." ~Charles Dickens

It makes me think of flowers, especially tulips:

Inspiration ~ Challenge #2

Just look at the dimension on these lovely black butterflies!! I also really love the black and white color scheme and the vertical stripes.

I love the look of butterflies on a layout so, it's only natural that I would be drawn to these butterfly wall decals too.

A New Year, A New Beginning

I have been in limbo for the last couple months. I have had three people who I love and adored pass away just weeks apart. I have also been trying to help my Mom get her health back on track after her heart attack and stroke. I was just so sad and feeling sorry for my self. In turn, I neglected my blog and all my wonderful online friends who truly have become my lifeline.

I am in the process of updating my blog. Time to jazz it up a little. I will have some new challenges up and running, starting this week.

I have a great prize up for grabs too. I will post the details on this tomorrow.

I am BACK to Play with everyone. I hope to continue to inspire you to create wonderful scrapbook pages and cards.

I have taken the last two months to reflect on my life and what it means to me. having to deal with the death of a loved one is never easy, especially when they are so close together. I have made my mantra this year..... LIVE LIFE!! I am not going to sit back and feel sorry for myself anymore. I am going to live my life, play hard and laugh every day, even if it's just at myself.

Here is a layout I did with my new mantra. I used a wonderful sketch designed by Kristine Davidson for Let's Capture Our Memories Sketch Blog and I used the latest kit available from weScrap. These are two amazing sites that I continue to check into each and every day.




Challenge #1: What was your mantra for the year?? Share it below for a chance to win a Kaiser Krafts Goodie prize pack!! If you have made a layout using your Mantra, please email it to me at thynner5@yahoo.ca or link it below for an extra chance to win!!

Due Date: January 31st
Draw Date: February 1st

Happy Scrapping!
