This Moment

The Gossamer Blue November kits go on sale TOMORROW at noon central for subscribers.  If I were you?  I'd have my trigger finger ready!  I'm sure they will go faster than fast.  This is my second attempt at a Main Kit Only layout; The first one just didn't read "me" when I was finished, so I went for round two.  What do you think? There's some gorgeous Maggie Holmes,...

It's not my day

Computer updates and my Selphy printer do. not. mix.  My incredibly smart and talented husband has had to put way too many hours into trying to get that printer to stop making iPhoto mad. And still, it's just not gelling. Ugh! I was able to get my layouts finished for Gossamer Blue, but I have several more layouts that need completed, not to mention I haven't even dug into the new GB lines!...

Fun Fun!

My hubs and I took a quick over-night trip to Denver on Tuesday.  Clay's favorite band of all time in the history of forever, The Slackers, played a show at the Bluebird.  I stood for 5 hours in a pair of Toms shoes and my feet still hurt, but going to this show with Clay was worth all the aches and pains my feet have endured :) We took our first trip to Ikea as well, talk...

Discovery Part 1

My November Gossamer Blue kits arrived the other day; so much pretty in that box, yet I feel at a loss as to what I will create.  Does that happen to you?  (please tell me that it does)  You have all this great product and it's all just so gorgeous, but you're totally stumped.  The same thing happened with the new Gossamer Blue lines!  It's all so lovely yet I can't bring...

Gossamer Blue Blog Hop

Hello!  You should have arrived here from the amazing (and awesomely named) Jill Cornell's blog!  If there is any confusion along the way, just head back to the Gossamer Blue blog for the full hop list. I'm sharing some information about my favorite layout from the October kits, Typewriter Love.  I was lucky enough to have a precious elderly couple answer my ad for a cursive font...

CSI

Gossamer Blue is sponsoring this month at CSI: color, stories, inspiration.  I had Case File No. 143 as my assignment. I was a bit over-whelmed when I read the scheme, evidence and testimony the first time, but upon closer inspection (hee hee), I realized this was actually going to be a blast!  Not to mention a whole new way to approach a layout.  Then I looked at my beautiful...

October Rewind

I knew as soon as I opened the October kits that the Gossamer Blue exclusives were going to be the key to this month's Rewind. I immediately went to my August kits to pull some of the dreamy papers; I knew I wanted girly colors for the layout, as pink is my daughter's color of choice (well, for now anyways!). I decided to use August papers (Main Kit and Main Add-on) and October embellishments (Main...

Daily Reminders

Have you ever had a super idea for a layout, and no matter what you do it just doesn't come together the same way it did in your head?  Well, that's kinda how Daily Reminders worked out for me.  I just kept adding to it and probably should have done some taking-away instead.  But all layouts are GREAT LAYOUTS if you got the story across and the photos scrapped. I used the Crate...
