It has been a crazy, busy, life-turned-upside-down kind of summer for my family. I'm so thankful that things are finally settling down.In the midst of all the crazy I've missed all the TLP chats and scraps this summer and I am really MISSING them!!There's a chat today that I'm so excited that I'm going to be able to make it to! When I first saw the announcement, I wasn't sure if I could make it or not, but then I decided to MAKE it work in my schedule because it's important to me.

Hybrid Template Fun
Hey everyone! Hope the end of summer, first of school is treating you well. This will likely leave you with some "extra" time or just regular time to create. I have a fun thing to try for hybrid that you may not have thought about.It's Katrina aka katrinahunt13 here on the blog today sharing a hybrid layout I did with a fun template from Sabrina's Creations. If you haven't taken a look at her store DO IT! I love her style even though it is so different than mine. AKA, I pile stuff on and Sabrina has a clean and simple style. BUT, I fell in love with her In Review|September '17 Template and just kept going back to it. That hexagon kept calling my name.And then Allison Pennington's Doggo kit was calling my name! If you haven't seen it, here is the kit picture. I knew mixing the two would be a fun combo.So, I started playing with it in digital and decided to … [Read more...]

A total eclipse of the heart…
Just a few days ago, the sun, the moon and the Earth all aligned as Americans witnessed the country’s first total solar eclipse in 38 years. And....it was dubbed the Great American Eclipse by astronomers because it also marked the first time this has occurred from coast-to-coast in nearly 100 years!How did you watch this moment in history? Our family wanted to avoid traffic so we went some place close! We took snacks, waters and played a soundtrack that I created beforehand. At first they scoffed at my hilarity, but they enjoyed it none the less. They did all refuse to wear shirts that said Team Sun and Team Moon.I tried y'all - I really did.So what am I to do with all these fun eclipse photos you ask? Well, I scanned the store at TLP and decided on these products for my final result - I used Love you to the Moon and Back by Dawn Inskip and Up Close and Personal template by … [Read more...]
