Smoochable

Last week i won the challenge at Scrapbooker's Paradise and was asked to be a Guest Designer for this week's challenge!! The prompt was "stitching", which is right up my alley. I got out the sewing machine and stitched the blocks and all around the paper and title. So much fun! This blog is from a group of stores here in Alberta where I live. They also have an on-line store too (love this). So, come by and check out the challenge, have some fun and you have a chance to win a great prize! I'm also going to enter this at Scrapbookers Anonymous where they are having a heart/stitching challenge. Oh..I've got hearts on this one..and I was stitching up a storm, lol.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I love reading your comments and I appreciate your scrappy support! Have a wonderfully happy scrappy day! Lynn

I Can't Wait

I was so excited this morning to find out I won the challenge at Scrapbookers Paradise and was also asked to be a guest designer for the next challenge. All I saw was the prompt for layouts that are musically inspired. I was all over this challenge since I love to use songs as inspiration and titles for my layouts. Then I realized that I'm the guest designer for the NEXT challenge, lol. Tis ok friends, I'm sure I can do another layout, lol. I used a song I picked for their wedding to do their slide show. I LOVE IT! (See below to hear the song) .I used the sketch at Once Upon A Sketch where the sketches are just so beautiful. The prompt was to do a layout of man that you love....so let me begin. My hidden journaling reads:

Christopher is my new son in law whom I love with all my heart.

 He has been apart of our family for almost 10 years.

He has been by Nicole's side through it all. 

After her accident he could have walked away, but he stayed.

He loves her with all his heart, and it shows.

When a mother gives her baby girl away,

it's not just to anyone.

I'm so honored to call Christopher my son. I love you Chris!

I can't wait (for you to be my wife)

Some close ups!

Can't Go Back

When I saw the prompt at Bo Bunny to use stitching and journaling I was ready to go. If you know me, you know I'm a HUGE fan of Bo Bunny. My goal is to one day get on their design team, it would be a life long dream come true. I think I stitched every piece of paper on the layout, lol. The journaling I did is partially hidden and is further down my post. Then I needed some inspiration for the rest of my layout. Yesterday I was visiting Scrap It With A Song and yet again it made me cry when I hear the song "Falling Slowly". This gave me the title for my layout. This morning I was blogging along and came across a new blog Scrapbookers Paradise and am trying their sketch challenge. It's funny, I drive to this store 3 hours from my house to shop and never knew they had a blog. So... this is me and my journaling reads:

After two years of asking "what if" and "why" I now realize I can't go back.

I have to move forward. I have to let go of the past and not hurt anymore.

I have to focus on today, not yesterday, not tomorrow. 

I have to keep reminding myself that today is a gift and I need to appreciate what I have in my life.

It's time to move on, it's time to let go, I can't go back.
