Lots more cards and a few layouts

Even though I haven't written much lately, I have managed to keep myself busy! Of course I'm always making cards, but I've also been doing some circle journal layouts that I am finding quite fun. I think my next project is going to be a little mini album about me & my kids and family to take with me to my 20 year high school reunion! Shocking, I know!! How is it possible that it's been 20 years already? I was lucky to grow up in a small town, so I went to school with the same 15 people from kindergarten all the way up to grade 12, and I haven't seen alot of them in about...well 20 years! lol I'm excited to see everyone though and see how we all grew up. I also have a big family reunion this summer also, so it's starting to look like we will be quite busy, especially when you add in camping, swimming lessons, trip to Edmonton to see the in laws and my best friend, and hopefully a few day trips to the mountains. And of course I will be trying to keep up with being creative as often as possible since I really notice the difference when I don't make something regularly...it reminds me of a Maya Angelou quote that was something like "you can never run out of creativity...the more you use, the more you have!" A statement that I have definately found to be true for myself.

OK, enough babbling and time for some pics...a few things I've been creating in the last couple weeks...

This is a layout I made for one of my friends circle journals. Her theme is months of the year and she wanted layouts that are all ready for her to just add her pics.
Another circle journal layout. The theme for this cj is favorite books

I've been having fun playing with foil, alcohol inks and the spellbinder's impressibilities to make all sorts of cards.
