Creating

 The Brave Girls Club Soul Restoration I  is winding down - it's been an amazing journey of accepting the past & finding out about what truly brings me joy.  This class is also filled with lots of creative techniques which were a bonus & could easily be in a stand alone class - thank you Melody & Kathy for sharing your wisdom gained from your heart breaking trials of life.  It's been life changing.  Integrating the creative part of the course really helps to make the lessons learned concrete in my heart & soul as I worked thru my past issues, weakness & unhealthy relationships.  I'm so thankful that Lori gave me the class & looking forward to part 2 in June.

I've been designing mini album kits for EMI Scrapbooking (my LSS in Cumming GA).  Here is a photo of the cover of one I made using Pink Paislee Old School.  It has lots of tabs, foldouts, and interactive pages.  Check the blog for a slideshow of all the pages here.

I've completed 3 others & working on 4 more!  It brings me joy to have my creative mojo back again.  I also am working on 3 layouts samples of the new Teresa Collins lines for EMI.  Her products are so amazing and well thought out for ease of designing.  I can't wait to take her classes in a couple weeks.  Teresa is a fantastic teacher & her kits are filled with so much product that there is always plenty left overs to create with in addition to the class.  There are still a couple spots left if you live in the Atlanta area call Susan at 770-888-2417 or email emiscrapbooking@aol.com.

Have a great weekend... hope you are having the beautiful weather we are here (finally warm & sunny)... and don't forget to take some time for yourself to get creative.

Being Creative Restoring My Soul

Happy Monday,

It's been a while since I felt that way... I'm doing so much better since taking this time for myself & working thru things with the help of Brave Girls Soul Restoration online course (already halfway thru the 6 week class).  Melody Ross is a fantastic teacher - making tough topics easy to understand in a highly visual way.  This is no boring self help class - incorporating the creative aspect really makes a huge difference.  There are many videos filled with artsy techniques for painting, texture, Mod Podge, etc.

I told my son that "I feel like the truths are now Mod Podged it into my heart, mind and soul". 

Here's a page I created during the class

 I am already looking forward to part 2 of Soul Restoration in June.  Melody & Kathy will be offering part 1 again in April -I encourage you to sign up -  it is a great investment in YOU.  All details here.



My son & I went to Ikea on Saturday just to look around.  We love their storage/organizing items.   Fueling up for the walk thru the showroom by eating lunch of  their meatballs & mashed potatoes. Yum.

While looking for some cooking utincels I stumbled upon these cake decorating templates that I thought would be great to use with texture mediums, spray inks or paint.  At only  $0.99  it's worth the shot.

I'll play around with them & post a review for you soon.

Thanks so much for visiting & hope you have a blessed week.
