Learning to Trust Myself

I am letting you all know right now, I am trying to deal with grief, in alot of areas of my life.  One for all of you is obvious, for some of you, only some...you know the other depths of my grief.  I need an outlet.  I am trying to do artwork and design. Lately it has been alot of reading and pleading daily to help me cope.  So. This is not to make you sad and make you cry.  You do not have to read these posts to come.  These are for me and my creative process.  I have to do this.  Hugs. 


Learning to Trust Myself.
I will be strong.  I will move on.  God is here.  He is listening to my cries in the night when I have no one.  I will trust in myself to have the courage to move on.  I am hurting for so many reasons.  So many that I cannot come to terms with alot of them.  I am afraid to speak of them out loud.  To me that makes them all to real.  God is here he is listening to me.  I will be strong.  I will move. on.   God please listen to me. Help me trust in myself again.

Digital Scrap Ink

Good Morning! I am excited to say that I was aked to be on Digital Scrap Ink's creative team and now I get to work with alot of wonderful ladies designing and digital scrapping!  I am truly thrilled to be able to help them!  Here is my first layout I worked on using Ohhh and Ahhh's Just The Basic Collection by Kathi B.  I also used FoxyDesigns Weeds and Company Wordart.  I had so much fun creating this layout.  I blended two of Just The Basic papers to get the background paper you see behind the photo of my darling husband and beautiful daughter!  They had so much fun dressing up and going to the Girl Scout Father Daughter dance.  I am so blessed to have them in my life!





This second layout is again from Just The Basics Collection from Ohh and Ahh Designs, Kathi B. on sale at Digital Scrap Ink.  I wanted my magnolia bloom to stand on its own without any distraction.  I made a little tag using the image again and using luminosity blending tool and 50 percent opacity.  I added text that says My Garden and to emphasize the horizontal lines of the photo I used stitches and ric-rac ribbon.  To give it some vertical height I added three black flowers.  Thank you for looking!
