cReative Team Tuesday....inspiration

This week, just sit back & enjoy the eye candy from Jamie & Nancy. They've created some lovelies for us to get inspired with Rhonna Designs.

Jamie created some word art that is simply deeeeevine. I just adore all of these!

 The cut out butterflies from A Year To Follow Your Heart kit plus her amazing use of the Easter Bouquet brushes on this Junqued Frame....oh my...FABULOUS!

 And...*gasp* This Easter word art is soooo sublime. I spy some Chevron kits, Easter Bouquet & some of the Spring Circus...oohhh de.lish.

 Add some Punk Junque kits with some of the quatrefoil & honeycomb pieces & you've got something amazing! Love it, Jamie!

And...LOVE that word art with that cute Easter Bouquet birdie with a top hat & swirls...so fab!

And I'm loving this fab digital scrapbook layout Nancy created of her niece...isn't it gorgeous?

I am in LOVE with how she used the Chevron Tool Kit to create the background, then used the Easter Bonnet Printable for the butterflies...soooo clever! With just a *splash* of the Spring Circus Borders for good measure. ooh...la la. LOVE it, Nancy!

Sooo excited because of few of the Creative Team members will be at a Bloggers conference called SNAP! here in UT! and I LIVE so close to it...so,  I get to hang w/ these lovely girls! so fab!

Thanks again, team...you guys are all amazing!!!!

monday makeoveR>>>on Thursday.

Pin It

I do apologize....My monday turned into Thursday... this week has flown....I've been enjoying & celebrating every moment with my kids.

Monday: got a bit sick when I tried to introduce gluten back into my diet...so,

Tuesday: chilled all day...enjoyed each other's company & made memories. :)

Wednesday: getting ready for a big meeting. In my church I serve with the various congregations (we call them Wards) in our surrounding area (which we call a Stake) in a program for children called Primary. I am the President of the Stake Primary programs & oversee all the various Wards. It's truly one of my favorite things! But, when we have Conferences coming up...& I'm in charge...it takes a lot of work...I'm so happy to do it, but I do get wrapped up in it! LOL!

&...Today. Thursday...finally doing some makeover stuff I've been needing to do.

Pin It

A while ago, I thrifted these butterflies & knew I wanted to create a little wall collage in my bathroom...which has aqua walls...(my previous work of art was knocked off the wall & broke)....so...

working on this wall collage...how about this coming Monday, I actually SHOW you the make-over...ha ha!

enjoy today...& do it again tomorrow!

 Wow...thank you SO much for the amazing response to yesterday's quote. 

Yes, I do have it in high resolution: 8x10...many of you asked if you could purchase it...

so, I'm going to add it on my blog as a Printable Word Art kit; 

as is...with the quote. 

OR, many of you asked if I could offer it with the art...but, just plain...so YOU could have the choice of putting your own quote on it

I got some more of my Life Journal finished today...working on my mission statement in Soul Restoration 2.... *gulp* I'm in love with my book so far...I'm having so much fun!

enjoy the rest of your day...tomorrow is a FUN FRIDAY at our house & we've got big plans! 

What are you up to?

Balance....

Pin It

Balance is a tricky thing in my life. I've always focused on my family & really try to not let *anything* get in the way of that...but, 

I have a tendency to go full speed ahead on a creative project & let the laundry pile up. 

Or I get into a mind set & focus on my spirituality while I neglect my housework.

Or I get on a big health kick & I cut out going to lunch w/ my friends.

All of those things are good things...great, in fact...but finding the 'better part' is so tricky for me...

always has been.

So...I've been really trying to work on balance in my life.

in my head.

in my home.

in my heart.

You know....Balance my mental, physical, spiritual & emotional parts of my life....& find the beauty in that. 

A lot of my goals are really hitting home. I love re-prioritizing & making sure I'm not getting out of balance....feels good.

...scary sometimes, but good.

I've found fly lady to be extremely helpful in getting things in order around my house. Especially this 15 min. declutter exercise. Love the balance it brings to my home!

I took (& finished) a 100 day challenge to read my favorite book: the Book of Mormon....finished it this past week. *peace* It means so much to me & really gives me the boost I need for my soul & spirit! This is one thing I can NOT let get out of balance. It's so important to me...it makes me who I am.

Emotionally, I'm taking time to spend quality time with my friends...at times, I've gotten 'so busy' (& then got too sick) that I let that important part of my life get out of balance. It's so essential to my balance...I'm re-prioritizing & making time for girl time!

so now....my physical balancing act. I'm happy to say that after going to my dr. since January, 4 months later...I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. The sacrifices I've been making are all starting to help! *whew* I've said it before, but I will NEVER take my health for granted again! Good health. ahhhh. it's nice to see you again!

Today, I'm finding the beauty in balance. It's so important to re-evaluate your life every now & again...to make sure your priorities are where they should be! & make the appropriate changes.

So, the question today is:

Are you finding the beauty in balance?

do tell.

You are....

Remember this today....

I've got a big goal I want to accomplish & I'm getting cold feet....this is a reminder for me, too! 

Here's to a day where we ALL remember this:

we are capable.

we can do & become

MORE...if we just have faith in ourselves.

Who's with me?

Ya ready to take it on?

yea...

me, too!

lots of catch up, please...

Do you ever feel that way? I have so many wonderful things that have been going on...& I will never get a chance to blog them..I'm sure. So, I just needed to STOP today & remember the good times. oy!

But rather than getting overwhelmed, paralyzed & discombobulated...I'll focus on 1 thing today:

Mother's Day...it was divine! 

I was treated like a queen...Jeff is so so good to me...have I said how much I adore him? well, I do. I love him so much. He made me some gluten free cake bites that were deeeeeeevine! 

Pin It

And our kids were amazing, too...so thoughtful & my prezzies were all from the heart. I loved it.

We went to church & had a wonderful morning...but, then I got home & got sick. yea. NOT fun.

I did get to talk to my mom on the phone & tell her how much I love her & appreciate her...& of course, I cried. Mother's Day does that to me, I guess...& expressing from my heart how thankful I am for the kind of mom I have...she really is so amazing. 

in. 

every. 

single. 

way.

 Hoping you all got to enjoy the free printables I gave you for Mother's Day! And from the looks of it...over 2,000 of my mother friends downloaded them! yea!!!! 

Have a happy Tuesday..I've got a little goodie for you tomorrow! See you then! 

p.s.  Are you LOVING the new Pinterest iPhone app? I AM!!!! too much, I might add! but, it does make me creatively happy! If you'll notice...you can add a 'pin it' to any image on your blog...so, feel free to PIN my word art..I love seeing how many of you have pinned & say such sweet things! hugs!

 

You don't have to be perfect....

Pin It

....You just have to be your best.

julie b. beck

This was the overall message to me...I loved this. 

Such peace. 

It just resonated in my soul when I heard Julie B. Beck say this during Women's Conference last week. 

It's true.

We, as women tend to be so hard on ourselves...& there's no reason to be!

be kind to yourself!

We try to measure up to everyone else...yet, we are missing the whole point: to be & do our best. OUR own best. Not someone else's.

So many messages spoke to me...& I hope they uplift & inspire you, too!

took a few instagrams during our 2 days...

So....I wanted to share some of my faves:

The only person you need to be better than, is the person you were yesterday. -Barbara Thompson

 

People w/ a goal succeed because they know where they are going. Write down your goals. Keep them in sight.

 

What's the difference between mud puddles & geysers? ENTHUSIASM! Choose to be enthusiastic in all that you do. You WILL see success! 

 

Identity. Testimony. Spirit. Example. Desire...Become. - Mary Cook 

 

Make it a priority to 'be still' everyday. Listen. Stop. Prioritize. Then the things we need to do become clear.

 

We can recognize our weaknesses, but don't wallow or glory in them. 

 

It's important to know of your heritage. This will add clarity to your identity. Who you are..what you are capable of. You are strong!

 

You are capable of doing & becoming more than you realize. Have faith in yourself.

Each of us has a different story; but in the end, we are made to be happy. Choose to be happy.

 

Are you the real YOU? Or a distorted vision of YOU? it's time for change to be the YOU, you are meant to be.

Beauty & Motherhood are one. - Stephanie Nielson

 

See the strength in yourself. Look through God's eternal lens at WHO YOU ARE!

 It's all about LOVE. We can't control who loves us, but we can control who we love. Share the love. - Bridgette Server

 

 The Conference was simply amazing. So many words of inspiration...I came home just flying high! re-focused. ready. & have made some new, exciting goals. I feel un-stoppable! I hope it will last! *grin*  So, Happy Tuesday & make it your best day ever!
