MY TOP 12 PAGES FROM 2019

Gee where did this year go? I know I mutter it every year but these last 12 months were hectic to say the least and time just slipped by me. It was a year of doctors appointments, treatment, surgeries and healing. Amidst it all, I found solace in my scrapping. When I felt well enough (which really was most of the time), scrapping was and has always been my therapy. Creatively soothing the mind of worries and concerns is so good for the soul and well at times even when I was at my sickest I found the urge to create. I'd immerse myself in all those awesome digital kits which afforded me a mental escape,  a most welcomed relief from my fears.

I also started designing again! I know right, cray cray given the year I had, but like I said tapping into that creative energy is soothing. I’ve been collaborating with Lynn Grieveson Designs using her stunning digital kits to create my template designs and even collaborated with Jennifer Fehr of Simple Pleasure Designs on a collection. Next year brings some new and exciting adventures so stay tuned you just might see more of me around digiland again, but hey lets get back to the TOP 12!

I’ve noticed a theme happening in this years scrap pages, it seems I was motivated by capturing my thoughts and feelings about my family mostly my boys. There's something to be said about facing your mortality, you get busy letting everyone know how much you love them! Thank goodness, after the fight of my life, I’ve been rewarded with many more years yet on this planet, so there will be plenty more time to continue telling them exactly this, that I love them immensely. 

So here you have it, my 2019 TOP 12 pages, if you want all the product details just click on the page title to be redirected. So lets get started, I’m going to begin with one of Dan, my husband, my greatest supporter, my rock. During my cancer journey he never wavered from his love and support even when he was as scared as me. I am eternally grateful to have this awesome guy in my life and well needless to say I scrapped a lot about him this year, so its a bit of a smooch fest for Cookie hehe! But hey I love ‘im to bits!
I found lots of inspiration in the talented paper scrappers out there this year and scrap lifted this page by Missy Whidden.

COLD HANDS WARM HEART

My latest collection with Jennifer from Simple Pleasure Designs is a theme I find tricky to relate to living in the sub tropics. But I tell ya what I had so much fun making this Winter inspired collection called COLD HANDS WARM HEART. Its filled with beautiful winter elements perfect for those of you living in the cooler climates. For me somewhat of a dream to experience snow unless I travel to the opposite end of the country, hehe but I did manage a few pages using some photos I took of Tige inan impromptu dedication to the winter season, him wearing my old beanie!
SNOWFLAKE KISSES
CANDY CANE TESTER
WARM HUGS HERE
If you want to grab the collection you can still get it on sale until Cyber Monday over SWEET SHOPPE DESIGNS, check it out here.
Thank for stopping by.

ROAR | SEQUENCE PHOTO SHOTS PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE

This month I’m hosting the Photography challenge over at The Lilypad. It's a fun one where we are taking a set of sequence shots then framing them like a Photo Booth strip. Its one of my go-to ways in presenting multiple photos in my scrap pages and so easy peasy to do not to mention an effective way to share them!
Come join me in the Polly challenges and get your photo booth style happening!ROAR
