Journaling Tiles~New from Finecrafted Designs

8:55 PM |

Posted by Balinda |

I am just head over heels in love with Finecrafted Designs newest kit, Journaling Tiles. It's packed full of elements that have a unique twist to look already embossed when you add them to your page. No blend modes needed. Of course, you can still use them if you wish to give you a million more looks such as the butterflies I have on my Dreamer page. The blended one in the background is the same one in the frame. This is definitely one of my all time favorite kits I have ever created with. You can pick up this beauty over at Deviant Scrap.

Long Weekend

As soon as I finished my last post, I found out that my SIL's grandfather passed away. I was on the fence all week on if I was going to be going to be with her for his service and help with the kids or if I was going to be working the rummage sale for our home school group. At a last minute decision I ended up driving to Burleson, Texas (Ft. Worth area) to be with the SIL because my brother was not able to stay with her. His job would not allow him an extra day off because it was not his immediate family. The hubby stepped in and helped with the rummage sale so that my DD could go on the end of the year school trip. We are not sure yet where we will be going but no matter where I know it will be a blast.

Despite the unfortunate circumstance of the visit to my SIL's, we did have a good visit. I think we were both beyond exhausted Friday night. We were both in bed and snoozing at 9pm. She treated me to lunch at Cracker Barrel on Saturday before I headed out to come home. Sunday I felt kinda crummy and missed church. Later on that night SIL called and told me she had bronchitis. I did feel sorta yucky till Monday night but I think I totally dodged a bullet esp. after finding out everyone in her house is currently sick, sick, sick!

So here I sit fiddling about on the internet, sink full of dishes, laundry piled up in the bathroom and NO Guilt at all about any of it. I keep waiting for the house keeping fairy to come and do it all for me but apparently she has me at the end of her list because she never comes. I am sure sometime before I go to bed those things might have the appearance of getting done. ;D If not there is always tomorrow.

I was excited to play with CryztalRain's new kit,
Kindred Spirits. It has sooo many wonderful elements
and the softest of color palettes for the papers.
Quite versatile! In fact, I liked my art journal page I
created with it so much I adapted to a scrapbook
page for me and the hubby. You can find this beauty
at Deviant Scrap.
