To share more of what I read and what the Holy Spirit deposits in me when I pray, read and study. Why? Because I have noticed a shift in the truth of God's word being shared across all social media and it has really saddened my spirit. This is not to say that I have it all together or that I know it all, but as a part of this online faith community, I feel we all should participate in spreading the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, including myself. </div><div class="signature"><br /></div><div class="signature">After a couple of weeks of praying and fasting over this "burden", I had a lightbulb moment. The kind that you know you can't take credit for. I decided I would incorporate my December Daily FileDex idea into a Faith project for 2021. All I needed was the foundation and structure for the challenge. Which led me back, into prayer. </div><div class="signature"><br /></div><div class="signature">I kept brainstorming topics to focus on each month; "Gospel", "God", "Fruit", etc., but to be very honest, coming up with a study from square one on any of these subjects would take months, even years to develop. It was very discouraging and intimidating to think that I would have to be the subject matter expert here. I mean, yes, I have known the gospel all my life and have attended bible study since before I could walk, but I was not prepared to create a new bible study. I just don't think that's my calling right now, or at all. I do love sharing the gospel, and do I love reading the word and sharing how it spoke to me, but to build something from the ground up is where I remained stuck for a while; at least a month.</div><div class="signature"><br /></div><div class="signature">I prayed for weeks about this. For guidance. For an answer on how to get around this stumbling block. I knew in my heart that I wanted to establish a fun and crafty faith challenge based on sound doctrine, but I wanted it to be truth based, not Damaris based. I knew that I wanted a deeper dive in general, and as much as I knew that we all could use a little refresher or a better understanding of these topics, I just didn't have it in me to create an entirely new study from scratch. Something of this magnitude would take me a lifetime to complete. I felt discouraged. I deliberated with God. I felt like quitting before I even got started.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I prayed for help. I needed inspiration and I needed confirmation, because at this point I doubted everything. I even doubted that God placed this burden on my heart.. maybe it was heartburn? LOL As great and as fun as this idea and concept was, I didn't want to do it unless He was the center, and backing me up. I didn't want to do it if it wasn't the right time, or if it would fail before it even got announced.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Fast forward to the end of November, I found myself researching theology books - feeling the need (again) - to go deeper (for myself), and in my search I came across an interesting find. It happened by accident if I'm being honest. I read the reviews and made the purchase and when it arrived, after looking it over a few minutes, it dawned on me that this was the exact format, approach, structure and content I needed for my faith challenge. My "Deeper Faith" challenge. Because "Deeper" was already determined as my One Little Word for 2021, and incorporating it into this challenge seemed logical, special and almost perfect.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL_M_9_07FTU_E4FPuKrhGJQsc1cT2RhzD166Tk1cp8mIMXNvHEZ-vwNfFhDtqu7E58585RJLJ1YvQ829u3bEkPm73PrZ65FOxS5a2ngE3czSkQXXXPVk23Dc4w0Z8EP3XjJ0eppIyrEwe/s612/Challenge.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="284" data-original-width="612" height="93" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL_M_9_07FTU_E4FPuKrhGJQsc1cT2RhzD166Tk1cp8mIMXNvHEZ-vwNfFhDtqu7E58585RJLJ1YvQ829u3bEkPm73PrZ65FOxS5a2ngE3czSkQXXXPVk23Dc4w0Z8EP3XjJ0eppIyrEwe/w200-h93/Challenge.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So what does this challenge entail exactly?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, if you join me, we will be reading and learning from a supposed <a href="https://amzn.to/3pjEUfZ" target="_blank">8 week study</a>, in 40 weeks. I want to slow it down for us, and marinate in <a href="https://amzn.to/3pjEUfZ" target="_blank">this study</a> and read entire chapters as opposed to quick verses. As you, I'm sure I'll have other crafty and home projects I'll be working on throughout the year so I knew I didn't want to overwhelm myself; causing me to give up midway. I want this to be an easy-to-navigate, slow-paced project that everyone with every type of schedule can keep up with. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We sometimes get so wrapped up in creating wonderful goals with the greatest intentions for ourselves, but fail to remember that things happen. We find ourselves wanting to dabble in many and other creative outlets, which spreads us thin. This challenge is meant to make space for God, for a Deeper understanding of Him, while still maintaining the rest of our lives and keeping things in order. I believe this slow-paced schedule will allow us to dwell and sit in the moment and really grasp what the Holy Spirit is trying to convey.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><u>Each Week We Will Complete SOAP in a Mini File Folder:</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><u>S: Scripture</u> - Write the 3 scripture verses on 4x6 index cards and add to your mini file folder. Read the full chapters associated with the scripture verses to gain the full understanding.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><u>O: Observation</u> - What is the chapter / verse talking about? What is it teaching?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><u>A: Application</u> - What can we apply to our prayer life or life in general from what we have observed?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><u>P: Prayer</u> - Ask God to help us understand the lesson and teach us how to accept it as 100% truth and apply it to our lives. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Every Sunday for 40 weeks starting January 24th, I will post a scripture writing prompt on my instagram based on the lesson. Buying the book is optional, but it is affordable and a great investment in your spiritual walk. The book will also teach you more than I will on my IG feed.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And who knows, maybe I'll go live once or twice a year to discuss what I've learned or share something deep on my "Deeper Faith" journey. We all have a story and a testimony to share that may help even 1 person. I'm on a mission to build the courage to share more of my faith and my life story.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This challenge is helping us spend more quality time with God, and I'm praying two things will happen when we do this. 1 - We will gain a better understanding of the context of the verses we are studying, in turn receiving the fullness of the Gospel. and 2 - The Holy Spirit will speak to us with clearer insight on our belief system. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Remember, this is not a bible time check list, this is a relationship we're building with our heavenly Father. I'm serious about this Faith walk and I'm willing to sacrifice fun, shopping and even sleep just to grow a deeper understanding of exactly who this God is that I serve.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So what do you say?

Hi Dolls,<br />
<br />
I do a lot of online shopping; mainly on Amazon. I don't always get to share all of it on my Instagram, but when I do, I receive lots of messages for help with resources. I thought I'd create a post that not only will share my purchases, but provide a mini / honest review. <br />
<br />
I am a part of the Amazon Affiliates program, and for each purchase you make through my links, I will receive a few cents. It does not count towards your purchase, but Amazon awards me these dimes for sharing the link and the love.<br />
<br />
I've broken them out into Categories; and incidentally, these are the categories I have them saved under on my Amazon account. I will make it my duty to add and remove items from this list monthly, so be sure to check back whenever you get a chance.<br />

<br />
Hi Dolls, it's been a minute huh?<br />
<br />
What have I been up to? Well for starters, I'm working a full time job, part time job, I've been very active on Instagram, as well as working on decluttering my entire home this year. I do make project, but you'll have to follow my crafty IG account to see those.<br />
<br />
After many years, many moves, and may craft spaces; I'm finally feeling like I've encountered craftroom peace. Kinda like the two dozen planners sitting in your room right now, I have felt the same "not good enough" feeling about my craft organization and layout.<br />
<br />
Until NOW...<br />
<br />
I'm here today, to express my contentment with my current room situation and share a peek at one corner of my room that IS 100% done. As far as the rest of the room, it's getting there. I would like to make my scrapbook table more funtional (if that makes sense), and do a lot more downsizing (decluttering), but for the most part I consider it 90%. There are also a few minor projects I'd like to complete, for example the rollerstamp legend (that I started like 3 years ago - lol), but aside from projects, I am excited about the layout and I don't believe I will change it again until we move in 2021. *crossing fingers*<br />

I say all that just to say that this blog is about my close space, and the items I used to make it asthetically pleasing, as well as functional. Links are below and I hope you will join me in being #clutterfreein2019.<br />

<br />
<br />
1 - I recently got the idea from my best friend Teri Beri (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/teriberi2_craftyig" target="_blank"><b>@TeriBeri2_CraftyIG</b></a>), to remove the doors to the closet. In a set of IG stories a few weeks back, I shared the closet space & organization and made mention of the fact that I would not be able to move the punches pink rolling cart out from the right corner of the closet, but I was "okay" with it. She immediately messaged me and suggested I remove the closet doors and hang up some curtains. I wasn't entirely sure if hubby would approve, (I respect his opinion, and I kinda need him to do it for me - lol), and was surprised when he said "sure". So I got busy searching for the perfect set of girly curtains and found them <a href="https://amzn.to/2HYnnbG" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a>. I used a <a href="https://amzn.to/2I0lTO1" target="_blank"><b>Downy Wrinkle Release</b></a> spray that I found at Target (and works WONDERS on clothes), to smooth out the wrinkles in the curtains, but they may need some ironing. *good grief*<br />
<br />
2 - I used these sticky back <a href="https://amzn.to/2UCp9Fz" target="_blank"><b>HOOKS</b></a> and this lightweight white <a href="https://amzn.to/2D0paZH" target="_blank"><b>ROD</b></a> to hang the curtains without making holes in the wall. The hooks (if you zoom in) stick very well to walls that are not smooth. I made sure I researched this detail as I did not want anything falling down after a few weeks or months. I even use the sticky hooks on the side of my desk to hold my heat tool and glue gun, so that my craft table isn't cluttered with supplies.<br />
<br />
3 - The white storage units in the closet are by Ikea, and the white plastic storage bins inside the units are from Target. I don't know if those are still available, but you can just as well use <a href="https://amzn.to/2YLyzxr" target="_blank"><b>THESE</b></a> that come in many colors and are made of fabric. <br />
<br />
4 - I get asked A LOT about the pink & rose gold trunks at the right corner of my closet; and those were a love gift from me to me. I had been eyeing those for at least a year before I pulled the plug. You can grab a set <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MF4ZIQS/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B01MF4ZIQS&linkCode=as2&tag=atstudiod-20&linkId=1ade4a920665d92bc37d5ba539cb74f7" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a>, and they also come in 2 other colors.<br />
<br />
5 - The Printer area is my favorite. I used 2 organizers to keep all the different types of paper, labels & sticker sheets in order and labeled. The <a href="https://amzn.to/2UlasHD" target="_blank"><b>4 Tiered Tower</b></a> is extremely sturdy, and I've had it for at least a year. It comes in pieces, which you can build straight up or at a slant. I labeled each tier on the side, and it contains my most commonly used sheets. The <a href="https://amzn.to/2UgzgAd" target="_blank"><b>White Organizer Printer Stand</b></a> is my favorite. The drawers can be completely removed and used elsewhere, or placed in the top section. I decided to leave the top two areas open, and keep the drawers at the bottom. It comes already assembled and is very heavy. It can even hold your TV, if you decide to use it for our living room or bedroom.<br />
<br />
6 - The rocker/glider chair was purchased from a local vendor, and is super comfy. I wanted a spot for hubby or Gio to join me for some TV time as I crafted. Which essentially is why I changed the layout back to the open space in the center of the room. However, the color of the chair was beige, almost yellow and I needed it white. I like things to look cohesive and match, so I was able to purchase a white seat cover. The one in the photo has ruffles, but it seems to have since sold out. <a href="https://amzn.to/2YLDyhI" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a> is another I found from the same company without the flirty ruffles at the bottom.<br />
<br />
7 - The <a href="https://amzn.to/2YPgpLm" target="_blank"><b>Rose Gold Clock</b></a> on the wall to the left has been with me since I moved into this new house, and you can still grab that today.<br />
<br />
8 - The pink & white letterboard is from Hobby Lobby, but what you don't see is the clear case I use to keep all my letters organized in sections. I grabbed it <b><a href="https://amzn.to/2VjmywZ" target="_blank">HERE</a>,</b> and they're miraculously still in stock! Keep in mind, it will only fit letters up to 2" high.<br />
<br />
9 - The pink square ottoman storage holds my backup 6x12 thicker stickers, and a similar one can be found <a href="https://amzn.to/2CUx5b6" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a>.<br />
<br />
10 - And my most used item in this photo is my printer. An Epson inkjet printer, scanner, copier. It easily prints double-sided pages, without having to remove the paper, flip and insert. It takes the guess work out of printing your own double sided documents or The Reset Girl Playbooks, but the best part is the price. Click <a href="https://amzn.to/2WK63um" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a> to grab one for yourself. It's wireless, lightweight, easy to use, and will connect easily to your silhouette software too!<br />

<br />
One last thing. The <b><a href="https://amzn.to/2I7V6ih" target="_blank">Pink Rolling Cart</a> </b>you see in the closet is currently out of stock at Michaels, but I found something similar for you, with quick shipping. You will just need to assemble. I have 3 other pink carts on the other side of my room, and I love how easy things are to store and how accessible the supplies are.<br />
<br />
As I mentioned earlier, I have a few more things to work before I share a full reveal. I'm really hoping to be done by the end of April, so I can film a craftroom tour for my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/atstudiod" target="_blank"><b>New YouTube Channel</b></a>.

<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Hi Dolls, it's been a while since I share anything craft related; I just feel it's easier to share that sorta thing on Instagram. But I'm here today to share something near and dear to my heart.
During Camp Reset 2018, I met a few ladies that I have kept in touch with. When the conversation about DECEMBER DAILY 2018 came up, I found that all but 1 have not worked on a DD. Over the course of several weeks/months many of them decided they wanted to try the project and have been shopping for their supplies. And this week I created a skype event for us to work on our albums prior to December so we're not overwhelmed.
I felt the content I created to be so helpful that I wanted to share it with my readers. So if you're new to this yearly project, or if you stopped because you were overwhelmed, please take time to read this as it may motivate you to get back on track.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">Purpose:</span> To document your life in December. Not to be confused with project left (a daily/weekly recording of the everyday life). December is full of fun events, exciting shows, movies, décor, sweet treats, gift exchanges, parties and more! It’s a worldwide phenomenon that is celebrated globally! The craft community has developed a way to remember all those exciting moments in 1 book. Each year you will create a new December Daily album, and look back at your prior year’s stories.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px auto 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 700px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span class="_4yxo _4yxr" style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;">What To Do:</span>
1 – Decide on a color combo. Prior to December browse your local craft stores (Hobby Lobby, Michaels, JoAnn, Tuesday Morning, etc.), shop online (Scrapbook.com is my favorite), and gather your supplies. Anything you think you will use in your album. Don’t overbuy, but also don’t leave out anything you really love!
2 – Decide if you want to match your color combo to your home décor. If you make it simple with “Red/Green”, you can easily print color photos without them clashing. If you go with non-traditional Christmas colors like I am (Pink & Pastels), you may run into photos that are difficult to scrap, which may lead to printing them in black & white.
3 – Prep an album. Use a mini album, pocket page album, traveler’s notebook, rolodex system, junk journal, ring bound notebook, planner, disc bound notebook, etc. Whatever platform you feel MOST comfortable documenting your December stories, is what you will want to use.
4 – Prep your pages. Because December is a busy month in itself, you may find this project to seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. You can get started prepping your pages. Check your calendar, (printing one works best), and jot down all the events happening in the entire month. Birthdays, school recitals, soccer practice, meeting Santa, bills due, write it all and make sure you prep your foundation pages accordingly. Meaning if you know that on December 8th you will be at the mall to meet Santa, make sure you prep 2-3 pages worth of space for the photos and journaling. If you know that on December 10th is usually laundry and Bravo TV day, then just leave 1 page free to choose an item from the prompt list below, to document a photo/story.
5 - Photos / Stories. This is YOUR book about YOUR family and YOUR December life. Aside from dressing up to meet Santa, try not to stage the shots. The best memories are found when you happen to run into a sweet moment. Like the time Johnnie made cookies for the family for the first time. These impromptu happenings are something that may happen on a mundane day… and you may NOT NEED the prompt list. So be on the look-out for those, because they’re special and they are memories you will want to cherish for years to come.
6 – Prompts. In the event that you do have a slow day, you can choose from the prompt list below of fun photos to take with the corresponding journaling to write about. Feel free to mix them up and don’t feel pressured to use them all. Remember, these are ONLY to be used if you need them.
7 – Have fun! Your book may not be prepped entirely by Dec 1st and that’s OKAY! Your book may not even be finished until March or September of the following year, and THAT’S OKAY TOO! Just remember to have fun, enjoy the journey/season and track what you want to write about in a planner or numbered list. Keep it close and add to it whenever something happens that you want to include in your December Daily documenting.

Hi Dolls,<br />
<br />
It's been a while since I update you on my crafty endeavors; I have been quite a busy bee, taking on a really huge and important project... but before I share, I just want to mention how much I've missed writing and sharing projects with you here on my blog. I love creating things with my hands and sharing that with others, so I'm hoping to continue doing that, but in a different way.<br />

Okay, so the first thing on my agenda is to tell you that I have decided to stay as a creative team designer for <a href="http://www.theresetgirl.com/" target="_blank"><b>The Reset Girl</b></a>. I absolutely love her brand, what she stands for and the versatility of her products. You can read all about (and follow) the other <a href="https://www.theresetgirl.com/2018/09/28/trg-creative-team/" target="_blank"><b>CT members here</b></a>.<br />

Also, pretty much the last day of August, Cori & I got to talking about the creative team, and without sharing too many details, she has hired me to be her creative director. I was floored and of course I accepted. So now I have a part time gig that I LOVE and am actively taking part in, and I get to not only lead a team of amazingly creative girls, but also have a little bit of input. That makes my brainstorming mind so happy! This is also the reason why I have been so distant from blogging, but you can ALWAYS find me sharing things on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/atstudiod" target="_blank"><b>my crafty instagram</b></a> account. Whether it's on IG stories, IGTV or my regular photo posting section, I am constantly sharing what I'm up to and the latest projects I've completed.<br />
<br />
I am in the middle of a craftroom redo, (I know, again), and I will hopefully be sharing a very detailed craftroom video update with you... here's a sneak peak.<br />
<br />

<br />
News #4 is that I have created a new YouTube channel. I am hoping to record more craft-related videos, especially process videos. I have already posted 1, and I'm hoping to reach 100 followers by the end of the month. I have my reasons, which I will share soon, but I really need to get to 100. So far, I'm at 60+ and the welcome and support I've received has been so humbling. Who knew that so many people would be excited for me to share my process? I'm just happy that I finally have all the equipment I need to get all this done.

Hi Dolls!<br />
<br />
We're nearing the middle of September and by now (hopefully), everyone has been keeping a good stride with their new Fall School Routine. I don't know about you, but I sure wish I had more time to hit the pool and sunbathe.<br />
<br />
I guess that's why today's layout share is something I'm enjoying looking at right now. I used a Simple Stories collection to tell a 4th of July story. I didn't use traditional red & blue colors for this page, because I tend to match the colors of the photo with my collection theme.<br />
<br />

Paper Issues is challenging you this month to focus on "Border Lines". Use that phrase and run with it. I used it in two ways. I built my layout on the left border, I used paper strips and I added dash lines. You can be creative with it and implement your own ideas / touches.<br />
<br />

I'm not sure if you knew, but this is my last project as a Paper Issues designer. I have enjoyed my stay with the team, and I wish them all continued success in the future.<br />

It's Banner Day! And I created a sweet single page layout using punches and whatever was on my desk from having made 3 other layouts when my mojo was running rampant back in July.<br />
<br />
Here again, I'm showcasing my "backing thickers" technique. This is something I happen to have come across with this particular set of alphas. They were a part of the "Here and There" <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/crate-paper" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Crate Paper</b></span></a> collection and they're called "BEACH". The inside of the thicker (white) separates from the outline and instead of trying to keep them togther I took it as a challenge to create something different. Hence the term "backing thickers".<br />

I wanted the page to be dainty and elegant, but also simple with light touches of mixed media. If you look closely you may find some stamped impressions made with London Fog Memento ink. I preferred to use a light gray ink to keep the softness of the page.<br />

<br />
The banner was created with circle and bow punches. First I punched out white circles, folded them in half and added foam adhesive in the center of the folded circle - to create dimension. Then I punched circles out of patterned paper, folded in half, cut in half and glued half of the circle over the intial folder over circle. I placed them in a hanging shape (or form on the layout itself), and added the backed thickers over them. Pretty simple and pretty. I like all the white space on the page, with just a few diecuts from the Maggie Holmes "Flourish" collection. This came together very quickly, and I have room to journal my thoughts as well.<br />

Hello my lovely sunbathed beauties!<br />
<br />
I've got a jumbled, but fun layout to share with you today. I played along with the "Messy" challenge and loved how quickly it came together.<br />
<br />
Last year we rented an RV and hit up 3 different natural springs parks in Florida. Our favorite was Rainbow Springs. If you ever get a chance to go, beware that there may be gators in the water - down the 2 hour lazy river excursion. lol. In any case, the spring itself was glorious! Freezing cold water, but crystal clear. What an amazing time we had.<br />
<br />

This layout was about my son, and how he refused (for an hour) to get in the water. We had to bribe him with his tablet. I wish I'm able to share a photo of his face when he jumped in, but I recorded it instead. He absolutely loved it and til this day he talks about wanting to go back. I used messy stitching - which means I sewed on the back of the layout so the stitch can be reversed in the front, and vice versa; as well as messy stamping. I also built a background with messy acrylic painted clouds.<br />

I paired this adventure with the Simple Stories "Hello Summer" collection. If you're lucky, you may be able to find that Cassie has created a kit using many of the elements from the collection - which was posted <a href="http://www.paperissues.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>in the shop</b></span></a> for sale at the end of July. It's sure worth checking to see if there are any left. You can also save 20% off of your entire purchase by using my discount code: "Damaris".<br />

Hi Dolls,<br />
<br />
This is a 1-stop-shop for all the amazing links I want to share with you. Primary links are where you may be able to find my crafty work. Discount links have already been embedded with the coupon code, so that all you have to do is add items to your cart and checkout. Affiliate links are great finds I've found online, and thought you would love too! I will be growing this list some more in the days/weeks to come, so be sure to check back. <br />
<br />
Have fun shopping!<br />

Scraplifts are a pretty simple way to use the stash that's sitting on your desk from a prior project. I worked with the Maggie Holmes "Flourish" <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/crate-paper" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Crate Paper</b> </span></a>collection, building my center frames from a cut-apart 12x12 page. I documented Father's day on this page... and added all the flowers I wanted, because not only is this my layout, but there's enough women in it, that I can get away with that. lol.<br />

Again, I used the negative thickers leftover from my "backing thickers" technique. It's my favorite lately, and maybe if I do it enough times, American Crafts will make more of these alphas (because #1 it's my favorite, #2 I'm running out of them and #3 there's only so much I can do with the Rose Gold Glitter ones.). LOL.<br />

It happens every year. I get tons of summer crafty supplies, to document our summer adventures, but end up having too many summer adventures and not enough mojo to sit and craft about it. That's why I love the Paper Issus challenges. Before joining their Design Team, I was a fan and follower. Partaking in challenges and all the great retail discounts. Now that I'm on the team and required to create, I love it even more. My scrappy albums are full and I'm using all the beautiful product I purchase. #HoardFreeIn2018<br />

Today's challenge is a sketch. Simple and elegant.<br />

I used <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/crate-paper" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Crate Paper</b></span></a>’s “Flourish” collection to document my two favorite bunnies. (Inside joke: I call my husband “Bunny”). The sketch was pretty simple to replicate. The toughest part was choosing the photos and the sewing I did around the layout.<br />

So let's talk edges. When I think of this phrase I think of the right side of the page. Not sure why. I tend to gravitate to scrap in diagonals or towards the right. This is what happened with today's layout share.<br />
<br />

I grabbed my stash of the "Flourish" collection by <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/crate-paper" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Crate Paper</b></span></a>. It's been sitting on my desk for a week now, and whenever I'm in the mood to craft, I use what's handy. This helps eliminate my hoarding tendencies. Here's my motto - "If you don't use it when you love it, you won't use it at all!". I'd like to say I came up with that quote, but I honestly don't remember if I heard it on a podcast or read it in a book. For now, we'll say it's mine. LOL. And I give everyone permission to use it. We don't need permission to have all the beautiful supplies we want, granted our allowance allows it; I wouldn't want anyone going into debt for paper and stickers. But it's useless if it stays on a shelf or in a storage cubby without use. The way to "Keep it forever" is to use it for it's created intention and display what you made. This allows you to not only eliminate the hoarding, but also enjoy the beauty of it.<br />
<br />
Okay, enough of my nagging.<br />

Today's page came together quickly... minus the sewing. Everything went wrong with my sewing machine (user error), and I derailed from the layout about an hour's worth of time, trying to clean the sewing machine and replace the needles and make some more bobbins. For some reason my bobbin making skills need work.<br />
<br />

<br />
In any case, the design idea just came to mind. I don't have fringe scissors, but regular scissors work just as well to create that fringe effect. I placed the photos and ephemera on the left. Added punched bows in the sewed spaces I felt had gaps, and used the negative thicker alphas from the "Here & There" collection to build my lower title. The upper title was made with Rose Gold alphas from the "Flourish" collection. Both by Crate Paper.<br />
<br />
I finished it off with white nuvo drops and leftover messy bobbin thread.<br />

I don't recall ever having done a "wreath" style layout. I was inspired to do so when I saw Lisa's page. I'm glad we're lifting her this month; it has pushed me out of my comfort zone. I think I found a new favorite style.<br />
<br />
Using only the Maggie Holmes "Flourish" collection, I started by penciling a circle around the perimeter of the page. It's a good thing I used a pencil, because my circle was more of an oval... lol. I went over that pencil line with my sewing machine and white thread. The thread was too light with the first stitch pattern, so I went back around again using a double stitch and it helped darken more of that white. I then glued down the gold leafy ribbon. This part took longer than all the sewing. I also used background stamps and thread looking stamps to create more texture on the page. The page itself is pretty busy, but I always enjoy adding more dimension.<br />

The problem ended up being that everything was stamped upside down. This is why my layout does not look EXACTLY like Lisa's; which is okay because everyone does interpret things differently. And I could have excluded that fun fact from this blog, but I thought you would appreciate the honesty and the fact that mistakes happen with paper crafters of all levels, and it's during those mistakes that we can learn to pay more attention to things and grow our problem-solving muscles. Overall, mistakes make you better. So how did I solve that "up-side-down" issue? I covered it with embellies... so that you can only see partial stamping.<br />

Lately I've been trying to be more intentional with my journaling... and not so much to discuss what's happening in the photo, but more so to tell a story about my boy at this age. I know exactly where this was and when, I just have to think of something fun or funny that happened in the last month and write it out; this is why I left it blank.<br />
<br />

I love the turn out and I love the placement of everything, and I love that I've been backing up my rose gold thickers with pattern paper. This is my favorite technique now a days and you will find it on a few other layout shares soon to come - so stay tuned!<br />
<br />
And since we're being honest, this title had an "F" at the end of it. "Carouself"... I think it would've worked if I hadn't added "Lovely" at the top. But I felt "Lovely" was more needed. I wanted the title to be silly & punny (as an homage to Lisa), but because the layout is such an elegant design, I didn't think it was fitting. So I ripped it off.... it left a tiny white mark; which - again - is fine, because the patterned paper itself is patchy. We'll call that mistake #17 - there's others not mentioned here today. lol.<br />

I can't help but think about many of the people that don't own electronic file cutting machines, and how they would enjoy to create a layout that looks like it's been cut by one. Well today I'm sharing one that eludes to that type of scrappy page, but is actually created the "old school" way.<br />

My secret? Punches. You can dust those off and still put them to good use. I grabbed a basic triangle punch and the new "Wild Heart" collection by <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/crate-paper" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Crate Paper</b></span></a>. The patterns are busy and loud (like me - lol), and I wanted to showcase as much of it as possible on one page wthout it looking cluttered. The easier way may be to use a cut file, but alas, we're focusing our attention today to those individuals that have not yet taken the cut machine plunge, (for whatever reason).<br />
<br />

<br />
I layered each punched triangle to form a shape. The shape I was going for a was a heart; simple enough, but you can also make a wreath of circles, or a leafy border at the top. Be creative with your punches and think outside the box. If there's a cut file that you love, but can't use, try to recreate it with what you have.<br />
<br />
Once my triangles were glued down, I went in with my sewing machine and created borders around each piece. You can do this step by hand if you don't own a sewing machine. I tried to incorporate techniques that can be reproduced different ways; by hand. Those same stitch lines can be done with a gel pen or with hand stitching. Once my background was complete, the rest came together using stickers, diecuts and chipboard elements from the same line.<br />

I finished everything off with journaling. I've been trying my best to journal more on my layouts, but I am picky. I find that if I just add a random tag or journal spot somewhere, it looks "out of place", so I try to write my memories in spaces or areas where there's natural flow throughout. In this case, it was all around that stitched / punched heart. I don't always get to write EVERYTHING I want to say, but I write it so that it fits perfectly in the space I am limited to.<br />

Hey Dolls... Happy Sunday and Happy July! <br />
<br />
Today I wanted to share a Tic-Tac-Toe inspired layout for the July Paper Issues challenges. I created using <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/fancy-pants" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Fancy Pants</b></span></a> The colors are bright, the images are cute and the patterns were a perfect fit for my photos. Right down the center I used Patterned Paper, a Date and Cardstock.<br />

I started the layout thinking I wanted to separate the page into four sections without it being so noticeable. I wanted there to be balance in color and product and I wanted to add journaling and include two photos. By adding patterned paper layers and sewing, it helped me also create dimention. <br />
<br />
Incidentally, I used my new sewing maching, the Sparrow 30. It's pink and rose gold and gorgeous! I'm new to sewing and don't know all of the fun techniques, but this has been super simple for a beginner like me.

The placement of everything came together fairly quickly, what takes me a while is gluing things down. I tend to second guess myself and walk away from a layout for an hour before I commit. LOL. What do I do during that hour? Anything... use a face mask, watch a tv show with hubby, cook, clean, play with Gio, go to the store, open up happy mail. Anything to distract me from the layout. After an hour or two, I return to my craftroom and if I don't absolutely love it, I move things around. If it still makes me happy I then begin to adhere it and finalize things with puffy stickers and dates.<br />

Today I'm sharing my take on Becky's awesome layout design. Scraplift Sunday is my favorite challenge at PI. There so much inspiration to be shared throughout this community, right!? I used <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/dear-lizzy" target="_blank">Dear Lizzy</a>'s "Live Colorfully" collection to build my page, and tried to make it just as quirky as Becky made hers. I used diecuts, patterned paper, puffy stickers, cardstock & chipboard stickers and even pulled out my favorite small white Martha Stewart scissors to fussy cut some butterflies.<br />

Hi Dolls!<br />
<br />
I'm back with another layout share...this time Paper Issues has teamed up with our wonderfully creative friends at <a href="http://letsgetsketchy.blogspot.com/2018/05/may-1-sketch-challenge.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>LET'S GET SKETCHY</b></span></a> to bring you fun inspiration. What's great is you can use the same sketch to build a card if you're not into scrapbooking.<br />
<br />
I decided to play with <a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/dear-lizzy" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Dear Lizzy</b></span></a>'s "Stay Colourful" collection, and keep my lines straight. I added journaling at the bottom of the diagonal paper strip, and fun elements all throughout, including diecuts, chipboard stickers and puffy stickers.<br />

I don't always participate in the Scrap Lift Sunday challenge, but when I do, I like to bring honor to the original. Today I'm lifting McJen's page and I absolutely love the turn out. <br />

It took touching two other collections before I decided that the new Maggies Holmes "Flourish" collection was the perfect fit for what I wanted to accomplish. Selecting & printing the photos is always the toughest part for me, but this time I had just enough of these silly snapchat pix, that it was just a matter of strategically placing them in the right square.<br />

Not everything on this layout is from the Flourish collection. Because I wanted the color corners to burst with action, I pulled out some vintage Amy Tangerine, black thickers, random enamels and even some Fancy Pants Studio.<br />

I love McJen for creating this layout and inspiring us all to mix the new with the old. Stash busting is something I'd like to continue doing. I feel it helps me make room for the new supplies and let's me discover the hidden gems in my craftroom.<br />

Let's face it. Not every layout concept that we conjure up at 2am while our bones are trying to regenerate and our minds are racing, ever turns out as we had planned.<br />
<br />
I've only completed one monochromatic layout challenge in my life. The last time I did it was for the 2017 Paper Issues Spring Crop. And just having ended the 2018 Spring Crop, I feel motivated to step into the unknown and do something different.<br />

I knew the color I would want to scrap was pink, which I have plenty of in my stash; so the pressure wasn't in the supplies, it was in the photo. I don't normally scrap photos from back in time, but I have been inspired by one of our DT member's Wendy, to do so. I wanted the photo to be clear and bright and match my page; my 30th birthday was a great fit for the concept I had in mind. So where is the struggle?, you may ask. My struggle came in exposing myself in that manner.<br />

You see, all the prints I found in my photo vault, (a pretty black and white striped box of old photos that never made their way into any albums, and sits collecting dust atop my craft closet)... are evidence of a lifestyle I no longer live. And as I wrangled between using a photo that didn't match the concept, or use the one that many people would possibly scoff at... I came to the realization that sometimes it's good to take a peek to our former selves. And admire how far we've come. How much we've accomplished and how high of a place we've reached in our growth as humans. I'm no longer ashamed of who I was, or how I decided to spend my 30th birthday... with a group of best friends and coworkers, and even some love interests.... 1 of which had a "Hello Kitty" cake made for me. Or how crazy drunk I got. Or how many people I may have allegedly cursed out in my drunken state. Or how much I danced with heels, leaving me disabled for a week. Or how many times I had to tuck my girls into that corset. lol. A lot. lol. Or how it was the day I first tried to smoke a cigarette (Newport 100s), because I wanted to take a "sexy photo", not realizing that the next 3 years would be hard to quit. The truth is, I did enjoy that night. I did have a blast at my 30th birthday. And it's perfectly okay to document those embarrassing memories, especially if it is going to help build my faith and help me appreciate how far I've come in my decision making and lifestyle.<br />

The layout is an explosion of pink birthday cake. Somewhere in there you'll see me blowing the candles. There's clouds, sequins, flowers, stickers, enamel dots, nuvo drops, balloons, birds, buttons, butterflies and bows. A happy union between Pink Paislee & Crate Paper. I fussy cut, stitched and played with mixed media. It's all in there. And if you look close enough, you may find some hidden "30s" in the page.<br />

Hi Friends. Happy May!<br />
<br />
One of the challenges that the Paper Issues DT participated in over the weekend was "Name That Tune". Use a song title or song lyrics on a page. I married Norah Jones' "Come Away With Me", and the newest Crate Paper collection "Here & There". The photo I wanted to use was taken on one of our anniversary trips to Miami. What a serene location. The collection was perfect for it, and I didn't hesitate to add a cute flair from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/aflairforbuttons?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>A Flair For Buttons</b></span></a> from "<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/119602007/my-life-words-1?ga_search_query=my+life+words&ref=shop_items_search_3" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>My Life Words 1</b></span></a>".<br />

I built the layout in the center of the page, to give me room for the long and large title. I didn't realize that the rose gold glitter thickers had a multi-use to them. Meaning I could either use the outline of the thicker or the inside of the thicker. Both options. Or I can decide to leave the two pieces together. I thought it would be fun to put the outlined rose gold glitter thickers over some patterned paper and place them neatly in a row.<br />
<br />
In the photo below, I rotated the layout to show how the same elements can create an entirely different page.<br />

As many layouts that I create for the amount of time that I have (due to work, family, church and extra activities) is astonishing. If I didn't have a supportive husband, who enjoys cooking and helping with laundry, I'd probably not have more time for me. But even with all that "extra" free time, we sometimes run into blocks. They take the form of distractions (like my love of my spades app - do you play?), and worries, and work stress, and event planning, and home improvement projects and the growing pile of books I have yet to finish (or start - for that matter) reading, and just simply taking on too much. These blocks hinder our creativity. The sudden shift in our emotions can put a damper on our flow. I was experiencing this for the past couple of months. Sure, you may have seen projects here and there, but if I can be very transparent, they were tough to cook up.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Until I was able to pin-point exactly what was disturbing my creative peace and enjoyment. And when I did. When I was finally able to tackle that thing that kept me up at night, I was able to tap into our natural given inspiration and make whatever my heart desired.<br />
<br />
We sometimes get caught up on "what will they think of it?". "Will the manufacturer enjoy seeing it?" "Will it impress my fellow crafters?" "Will I win a Nobel Peace Prize, for my award winning layout that shared just enough photos, using a few different techniques and just enough embellishments to highlight the beauty of it all?" Aren't we so ridiculous!? Sometimes living out our creativity under a glass ceiling brings us to this mental state. Which is truly ironic, because we desired to step up and live in that glass house. We want to be on design teams and we want to showcase our talents, but it comes with a cost. The cost being, creativity itself.<br />

But last night I let go of the questions and second-guessing. I put away the spotlight, closed the blinds and reintroduced my heart to my hands - and let them have their moment of enjoyment; without my mind having to boss things around and militantly take the fun out of my favorite hobby.<br />
<br />
And sure, we can talk about all of the new products I used - which you can find "<a href="https://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>HERE</b></span></a>" - (shameless plug, lol), or how I used just the right amount of enamel dots and made the perfect trio eye flow on the page. But if I'm going to be real with you this year, then I'd like to take you to the deeper and inner workings of my mind. Want to know the REAL process of making a layout? Go back up and read from the beginning again.<br />

I'm proud of this because I was able to overcome my brick wall and just play; lending no care to anyone watching or critiquing or judging or asking me to guest design. I did it for sheer fun! And it helped me remember, why I started this hobby to begin with. It's about the memories I want to capture... because at this age, I forget what I did last weekend. [TRUE STORY! - LOL]<br />

I have made it quite official on my Instagram page, but not on my personal blog. If you don't know, I'm one of the newest design team members for <b>A Flair For Buttons</b> - a quaint little <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/aflairforbuttons" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Etsy</b></span> </a>shop containing a wide variety of beautiful, fun and trendy flairs.<br />

I've mainly used my flairs for my 52 Favorites projects, which documents my favorite story of the week for a year. But today I decided to add a little flair, (hehe), to this adorable layout. The set I used is called "Say Cheese 2" and can be found <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/154990680/say-cheese-2-flair?ga_search_query=say+cheese&ref=shop_items_search_3" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><b>HERE</b></span></a>.<br />

The layout itself is a sketch challenge for Paper Issues, and the "Star Gazer" Dear Lizzy collection. I still have mostly all of the pieces to that line, and am trying to make my way through it all. No more hoarding for me!<br />
<br />
Along with the diecuts and stickers, I was able to incorporate flairs from Shelley's Etsy shop. The colors match perfectly!<br />

Hi Dolls!<br />
<br />
How difficult it's been to contain my excitement for the past few months? Very! I'm thrilled to be working as a Guest Designer for Pebbles this month. I've been keeping this huge secret in a vault, with very little Instagram hints... maybe... lol; and I'm ready to burst!<br />
<br />
As you know, I am a huge fan of keeping my hands busy with paper supplies. I made a couple of projects to inspire you with today, so sit tight and grab a cup of your favorite beverage. <br />
<br />

<br />
The first share is a layout I made using a ton of Pebbles' "Patio Party" supplies, hand stitching, and my Silhouette Cameo V3 machine... (see below for a detailed list). I tend to print my photos in black and white, allowing more emphasis and focus on the patterned paper and design. Also, the layout has a more "vintage" feel; which I enjoy from time to time. The scene was created to resemble a life size garden. Maybe something out of Alice in Wonderland; full of flowers, grass, a large picket fence, lawn decor and even a giant watering can. <br />

When I initially photograph my layouts, I tend to leave out the journaling. I create specific spots on my layouts where I'm able to squeeze in my thoughts without disturbing or interrupting the rest of the layout. I used to leave out the journaling and "speak" about where it would go, but I feel photos help explain things better. Which is why the clouds in the next few photos are blank. I purposely used the grid "Just For You" patterned paper from the collection, to help me keep my writing somewhat straight.<br />

I cut the grass using a thin metal die and the word "Garden" was made with a free cut file called "Paint Outline Alpha" (see below). A lot of the extra little touches are die cuts and stickers, topped with beautiful dimensional butterfly stickers from the collection.<br />

The majority of the work (believe it or not) was in the stitching. Everything else came together fairly quickly. Because there are so many beautiful patterns in this collections (both sides of each sheet), I tried to incorporate as many as I could on this first layout. Cutting out words or elements and backing them up with patterned paper is one of the ways you can use your supplies and showcase the product on your layouts. I love the whimsical feel of this page. It's clean, yet full of life; all at once.<br />
<br />
One thing I will say is that I don't always start out knowing what I want to create, but the Patio Party collection did inspire me to sketch something out before I got to cutting anything... here's my original idea. I was lucky enough to find the watering can cut file (to match my sketch) in the Silhouette shop, as well as a fence.<br />

Now let's move on to the next page!<br />
<br />
What's great about Pebbles' cardstock is that it comes with border strips. On one side of the 12x12 sheet there's a full strip of patterned paper (matching the collection), measuring less than an inch thick. On the other side is the name of the sheet. I pulled out the paper that had the striped edges and cut those off to make top and bottom borders on my next layout.<br />
<br />
This next project is just as busy, but I used a dark background in order to make the colors come alive! Again, I used my Cameo to cut the "Bubbles" free file (see below), and kept it white. Incorporating cardstock stickers and ephemera, I was able to build my page nicely, and topped it off with a fun title, with just enough room for journaling.<br />

<br />
To be honest, I could not decide between three different tags to use from the "Just For You" patterned paper. All three colors and designs were perfect for this layout, so I ended up using all three in a cascading layer. I'm still able to see the peekaboo colors / designs, without having too much clutter on my project.<br />

When I've completed a project or two (if I'm using the same collection), I tend to gather the scraps remaining pieces to create with. Simply because I really don't enjoy waste. If I don't use it for something, then I share it with my son or the teachers at my church for classroom projects. This time around, though, I used the majority of the scraps from my first two layouts to make a couple of handmade cards. I wanted something easy to build, yet pretty. The "Patio Party" collection allowed me to do just that.<br />

Hi Friends!<br />
<br />
I'm sharing a pretty intense layout today. Really going deep into my life, my faith and who I am as a person this time around. This year I want to share more of those secret areas of my life, as I feel it may benefit many of my readers and followers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4_mOwmTMEnm3wlXXeQJVgefmvd5Kb8IarMyWcaiz7LkX7fbS7Z1f5LPWcRk-cS1clITZ_uRVr4ihpZWL30xkmzeBBYuej1yt46b_e7a-usHhZ9inxOht9bsjSArqEgz02htJU7M9pG5eC/s1600/GirlInterrupted.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1507" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4_mOwmTMEnm3wlXXeQJVgefmvd5Kb8IarMyWcaiz7LkX7fbS7Z1f5LPWcRk-cS1clITZ_uRVr4ihpZWL30xkmzeBBYuej1yt46b_e7a-usHhZ9inxOht9bsjSArqEgz02htJU7M9pG5eC/s640/GirlInterrupted.PNG" width="602" /></a></div>

<br />
<br />
As you know I am a Christian, and a lot (if not all), of my values come from my belief in Jesus. That being said, I have a testimony that I don't normally share, and I won't go through all of it today, but I will say that I've come a long way from how I was when I lived in NYC 11+ years ago. I came to Florida hurt, beating up inside, shattered and stabbed in the back by friends. I came to Florida TO marry my best friend and soulmate, and I wasn't upset at the fact that I had to leave everything behind (even my closest family), if it meant also escaping from my past, and the agony that I had to face each day. What I encountered once I settled in here, was that the feelings and pain I carried throughout my NY life tagged along with me. I couldn't leave them on the plane. Or shake them off at the airport. They were my baggage. And I didn't understand why I had to deal with all that if I was far away from the people who inflicted "all that" on me!?<br />
<br />
But God.<br />
<br />
God came in and restored my life. He renewed my mind and gave me a vision for my future. He changed the way I spoke about myself and my enemies. He created in me a clean heart, and renewed a right spirit within me. [Psalm 51:10]. I quote scripture, because scripture is God breathed. It's heaven-ordained. And the living Word of God activates something in the heavenlies. It controls the atmosphere around us. It charges the Angels and releases them to fight on our behalf. The Word of God is pure and faithful. It builds up our faith and gives us the power to fight against the negative thoughts. It purifies our hearts and make us whole. It gives us the energy we need to take on life's battles. But all that takes time, and willingness on our part to say Yes to God and to His way of healing us; of doing things. It takes commitment on our part. It takes tapping into those areas of hurt and depression. It takes showing our real and true selves to our heavenly Father, knowing He will not fault us or blame us or guilt us for our feelings, but that what we bring Him will be restored. He will take those ashes from our past and transform them into beauty. He promises that in His word. "I'll give you beauty for ashes, and joy for your mourning". [Isaiah 61:3]. What grander trade will you ever encounter on the face of this earth?<br />
<br />
So this layout isn't necessarily about the collection itself, but how I strategically used those hexagons. Three areas of my life I battled with. My Mind. I was consumed in my own thoughts. Anxiety and fear created by a world I lived in - in my head. I was afraid of everything and everyone. My Lips. I spoke badly about myself. About myself to myself and to others. I was insecure and I expressed that in my journals and in my poetry. My Heart. Shattered and frail. Struck by unrequited love, time and again. Failing to find what it most desired.<br />
<br />
But God.<br />
<br />
The hexagons are fragments of me that God worked on. Is working on. His Power and Love and Grace showered over me has been the sole reason for the change in me. Anyone that knew the NYC me would tell you best. Especially my husband. He can tell you all about the times I locked myself in my closet to cry and scream like a mad woman! Because one silly thing he said had triggered hurt and pain in me; causing me to shut down emotionally and break down quietly. I was a girl headed down a depressive lonely path, but God interrupted that pity party and gave me purpose. A reason to live. A fresh set of eyes. Something to hope for again. And I'd love to share that same Power, Love and Grace with you. No one deserves it on their best day. It's not something that anyone earns. It's freely given to all who want and need it. No questions asked. No paybacks. No loans. It's debt-free Love & Grace. Just ask Him for help. Ask Him for a change. Ask Him to interrupt your plans with His will, and see how He works miracles in your life.<br />

The layout is pretty. It's fun and cute. It's bright. I used hexagons and spelled out the title "Girl Interrupted' with thicker stickers. But the real beauty is in the message: "God takes our fragments, and puts them back together. Not for our pleasure, but for His Glory and true purpose through us."<br />
<br />
Give God your brokenness, and see Him create a masterpiece!<br />
