<span style="text-align: left;">Hello, everyone!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">I just wanted to share one of my last projects as a design team member at <a href="http://www.basicgrey.com/" target="_blank">BasicGrey</a>. I am so thrilled this is the line that I got to do my final projects with. I am absolutely, completely in love with SECOND CITY, the new inspired by<a href="http://www.kellypurkey.com/" target="_blank"> Kelly Purkey</a> line. Knowing Kelly like I do, I was quite sure she'd have the city angle covered for any sample, so I wanted to go someplace completely different. The awesome skyline papers as well as the addition of purples and black made this just call out for a HALLOWEEN layout - yes, HALLOWEEN!! </span></div>

<br />
As I'm sure many of you might have already heard or have just been gradually figuring it out, I have made the extremely hard decision to take a step back from professional scrapbooking.<br />
<br />
I have been in this amazing industry for many (MANY!) years now and I am so grateful for all of the opportunities and experiences that have come my way as a result of it - truly they are too many to name. But my life has come to a sort of crossroads with everyone going different directions and I want to make sure that I am as present as I can possibly be for the next phase of my family. I promise that I will continue to scrapbook for me, though maybe not as frequently, and will continue to post perhaps here but especially on my scrapbook-related <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Kelly.Goree.Artist" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>.<br />
<br />
And if you'd like, I'd love it if you would continue to support me in my brand new adventure! I have started my own photography business. You can keep tabs on me here: <a href="http://www.kellygoreephotography.com/" target="_blank">KELLY GOREE PHOTOGRAPHY</a> or on the Facebook version of that site <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kellygoreephotography" target="_blank">HERE</a>. I'm crazy excited about this new opportunity and am looking forward to capturing some amazing memories for others.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
ANDDDD...<br />
As I'm sure you have guess/hoped, I am cleaning/purging my scrappy space to make room for photo equipment and such! I hope my LOSS is YOUR GAIN!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">***********Edited to ADD: ALL BOXES + CLASS KITS ARE NOW GONE. What is still available is listed on my yard sale post in the link below. THANK YOU!!!***********</span><br />
<br />
I have available my final FOUR Flat Rate USPS priority boxes full of all kinds of amazing goodies. Each one contains not only a brand-new collection pack of paper from a well-known manufacturer but many brand new embellishment packs as well - things such as enamel dots, diecut packs, alphabet stickers, chipboard alphabets and on and on.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Each box can be YOURS for $50. </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">That includes the priority shipping. </span></b></div>
First come, first served. Please message me at kelly(dot)goree(at)gmail(dot)com for any questions, or to claim a box for your own!<br />
<br />
I also have three remaining <b><span style="font-size: large;">CLASS KITS. The cost for these is $20 plus shipping</span></b>. The shipping will be priority and will vary depending on where you live but you can estimate $8. I WILL combine shipping if you want more than one kit! Email me at the above address for images of the projects. I will tell you both kits are girlie in feel and one is 3 single pages, the other 2 singles and a double.<br />
<br />
Also, I still have the items in the previous post (Link <a href="http://kellygoree.blogspot.com/2014/05/spring-cleaning-super-sale.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>) available if they aren't marked out. Those are a bit different but everything listed is <b><span style="font-size: large;">BRAND NEW and 75% off retail!</span></b> AMAZING deals to be had!<br />
<br />
And finally, I want to thank each of you, my loyal blog readers and friends, for being so supportive for the past few years. You are AMAZING and I thank you for thinking enough of me that you kept coming back for more! ;)<br />
Much love,<br />
Kelly<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you are all enjoying this gorgeous day and are finding time to create and do what you love! </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here in Kentucky, NSD also means it’s Kentucky Derby Day so besides sharing here with you, I’ll be spending my time watching the races with some good friends and eating (and maybe even drinking) wonderful things.

<o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of course to celebrate such a special day, I had to create a little something new to share. </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had many ideas in my head – but decided to keep it simple and focus on a few of my very
favorite things (I bet you can even name them with me!) - <a href="http://www.pagemaps.com/" target="_blank">PageMaps</a> sketches, <a href="http://www.basicgrey.com/" target="_blank">BasicGrey</a> paper and my <a href="http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/" target="_blank">Silhouette</a> Cameo.
Trust me when I say you can’t go wrong with any of these but when you add them
all up, you get an easy recipe for beautiful pages and tons of fun.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For this layout, I first picked one of the bonus sketches from the PageMaps article in the Summer 2013 issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today. I always love good sketches and
this one was a favorite of mine – in fact I’ve even used it a time or two
before. This time, however I decided to stretch the 8.5x11 format into a 12x12
because I wanted to play around with the background and wanted all the space I
could get.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

BOYS!! I loved the brush script words and stars in this set and decided I was
going to try my hand at making my own background paper with them. I separated
Nic’s files and arranged them on my background the way I liked. I really wanted
them to POP so I cut them out of a bright patterned paper and then backed them
with solid black cardstock. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi, all!!</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm here today to share my new layoutthat is up on the <a href="http://blog.basicgrey.com/" target="_blank">BasicGrey blog </a>today! It features the gorgeous <a href="http://www.basicgrey.com/scrapbook/shop/collections/show/current/highline" target="_blank">Highline collection</a> and our fun new wooden shapes. As an added bonus, we've included the fun cut file I created that I used as the background mat to this project. It's my first one so I'm pretty excited! Click <b><a href="http://www.basicgrey.com/files/Blog%202014/HeartsInCircles_BGBlog.studio" target="_blank">HERE</a></b> to download it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Highline was one of my favorite collections we released this summer at CHA. I adore how trendy it is with the brush script and bold colors but I also love how it's a throwback to vintage BasicGrey and one of our very first lines, Sublime. It just couldn't be better. My only dilemma was that it was so pink that I wasn't sure how I was going to use it for my boys. But trust me, friends, when it comes to something I love, I find a way!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Highline collection was such a fun choice for this photo - the bright colors and whimsical feel of the papers and unique embellishments like the wood chalkboard shapes just set off the Valentine's Day theme. I don't get many Valentine's photos anymore, so when I do I cherish them! This year was most likely Carson's last year of school Valetine's parties and I was sad...and then even sadder when school was called off early because of the weather. So to cheer him up, we made these fun cupcakes for everyone.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Welcome to the Urban Autumn by <a href="http://amyheller.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Amy Heller</a> for Lily Bee Design blog hop!! I was thrilled when Amy asked me to work with her very first product line as I've admired her style for quite a while. I was so excited to see what she had come up with and she totally didn't disappoint! Her papers/products are a lot like her scrapbook pages - fresh, fun and with a funky twist! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I found these old photos of Ethan and they coordinated so perfectly with this line and all the papers go together so beautifully. My only regret is that I wanted to put them all front and center (note: that beautiful brown sunburst background paper) because I loved each one so much!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello there!!!<br /><br />Happy OCTOBER and Happy World Card Making Day, too, to all my crafty friends!!! If there's anything the craft world knows how to do, it's do a celebration up right! And today, my friends, is going to be one heck of a party!!<br /><br />Both magazines and manufacturers alike will be hosting giveaways and challenges all day long so you definitely don't want to miss it! And because I can't stand not being in on all the fun, I just might be hosting a little giveaway of my own right here on my blog! (Stay tuned! ;))<br /><br />As I mentioned there will be oodles of blog parties today that you can participate in. I made a few cards and got to be a part of a couple of those so I wanted to give them special shout out here.<br /><br />First up is the fantastic celebration over at the <a href="http://www.scrapbookandcardstodaymag.typepad.com/">SCRAPBOOK & CARDS TODAY blog</a>! Be sure to join them each hour until 9:00 p.m. tonight. (My hour is at 10:00 am!) It starts bright and early at 9 am and then they have 13 more posts to inspire you and 22 fabulous sponsors sharing in this great day (and by sharing you know they mean a lot of prizes!) They also have sketches, tips, tricks and techniques you won't want to miss from their team with a special surprise announcement, too!<br /><br />And truly...what's a better card for a celebration than a BIRTHDAY CARD?!!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WHFNZ6dtj3c/Uk25o4NbgNI/AAAAAAAAESc/WFCypvq5Fpk/s1600/SCT_HeyCupcakeCard_WCD.jpg"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WHFNZ6dtj3c/Uk25o4NbgNI/AAAAAAAAESc/WFCypvq5Fpk/s1600/SCT_HeyCupcakeCard_WCD.jpg" /></span></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Supplies: BasicGrey RSVP PP, candy dots, diecuts, chipboard; Doodlebug button; American Crafts twine and adhesive; Xyron adhesive; Ranger sticklers; Sizzix dies; Colorbox inks; Montana Misfits seam binding; thin chipboard.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I created this fun card off of a sketch from PageMaps 3 - one of the sketches I originally worked with for that issue - because I just love it so. It's SO versatile and the cards never turn out looking the same. I also wanted to share one of my favorite trickes for making cards that are layered without being TOO thick - I used thin chipboard rather than foam adhesive. It gives the same look with much less bulk! Here I simply cut the large scalloped square in my diecut machine using both materials at the same time! It works like magic!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

They too are going to be posting challenges, offering prizes and sharing some AMAZING cards by our talented team. This is the one that I created - a little Halloween fun just in time for the season!! It using the gorgeous new Persimmon line that I am over the moon crazy for!</span></div>

You should have arrived from the blog of the talented Elizabeth Gardner! If you just happened by my blog for a visit, YAY! and HELLO!!

<span style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The purpose of this hop is to get to know each of our brand new team members on a more personal and up-close level so each of us are sharing a layout about themselves! I know, right?! That's not something we scrapbookers do very often and I would imagine it's probably my first about Me page in 3 or so years! </span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I picked the super-fun Amy Tangerine Cut & Paste line to document a few of my favorite things. Its bold colors just spoke to me! I especially loved the die-cut shapes and these amazing vellum pockets! Holy cow! It was the perfect place to jot down a few notes and keep them safe. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do you see that day of the week strip up there? That's the tear strip (bar code strip) from the hot pink grid piece of paper! I thought it was so cute and just had to use it! I love using all parts of my papers! Nothing goes to waste with me. I love paper too much!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Seriously. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How is it possible that the month of August flew right past without me even realizing it was gone? I know, I know - it was the end of summer and back to school and so much more. But still...you'd have thought I would have managed <i>something</i>. But sadly you'd have been wrong! I'll say it again - I'll try and be better! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />So l</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">et's get back in the swing of things here! I have tons of new information to share - super exciting stuff is happening - and I hope you'll stick around and follow along!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First up is <a href="http://pagemaps.com/" target="_blank">PAGEMAPS</a> news! My dear friend Becky has completely redesigned her site and it is AH-MAY-ZING!! Read below to see what she has to say about it....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Hey my fellow sketch fans, have you been over to PageMaps lately? It's the beginning of the month and we all know what that means—new sketches (and card sketches, too)! But this month there's even more. A fresh, new look and loads of wonder</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">ful changes have taken place behind the scenes over the past month, and we can't wait for you to check them out. From "click to enlarge" artwork to the new PageMaps U education program, I invite you to stop by PageMaps and check them out!<a href="http://www.pagemaps.com/" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.pagemaps.com/</a></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was my layout for this month's newsletter which you can download for yourself here: <a href="http://www.pagemaps.com/sept13pagemaps.htm?utm_source=September++2013+Newsletter&utm_campaign=PageMaps+September&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">PageMaps September newsletter</a></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On a small side note - Can you believe my boy is old enough to get braces? It really changes his look! You can't tell but he's sporting yellow and navy bracket bands - school colors, of course - so he's got it going on ;) Braces have come a long way since I had them when I was his age. I really loved the look of the BasicGrey Clippings paper at the bottom. I wanted something that "felt" like braces without being too literal. I think that stitching did the trick!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just CHECK OUT THIS COVER (yes, I'm yelling!) of their upcoming Fall issue! Isn't it amazing? I'm in love with those reds and browns. And if you think the cover is spectacular, just wait until you see all that is included inside - especially the 8-page ADDITION!! Yes, that's right. EVEN MORE to love. And did I mention this magazine is free? Oh, yeah, baby - FREE! It will be available in stores and for download September 20th! (That's like only 2 weeks away!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Hi there and HAPPY AUGUST! (Can you believe it?!)</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today is my monthly post over at the <a href="http://scrapbookandcardstodaymag.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Scrapbook & Cards Today blog</a>! It's a fun back to school album I'm going to share with you below but I hope you'll also pop over and out all the other amazing posts on the blog this week - especially Laura Vegas' organizational tips for School projects! It's seriously brilliant! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">***************************************<br />Thanks so much for stopping by today and checking out this month’s edition of OLD NEW BORROWED COOL!! Where I’m from, the month of August means wrapping up summer and (already) the start of school! Seriously! We’ve been in full shopping mode for everything from shoes to supplies to clothes in full anticipation of the big day (August 7th, August 7th, August 7th!)! I’m in heaven! I adore school, school supplies and even the smell of crayons! Yes, I’m *that* girl! And if I’m telling the full truth, I’ll have to admit that my collection of school-related scrapbooking papers is utterly ridiculous...and second only to my absurd collection of holiday papers! I can’t pass up a tablet or script paper even if I already have twenty in my stash.<br /><br />But probably the biggest reason that I’m so pre-occupied with school is that my oldest is making the transition to high school. HIGH SCHOOL! I know many of you remember him when he was just a tiny boy, so I’m sure this shocks you just as much as me! The thing is that he’s still just in 8th grade. Our school district has moved 8th graders in the high school because of middle school overcrowding and so it’s just a very strange situation all around. What DO you call an 8th grader in high school?! So with all those thoughts running through my head I decided that I wanted to make him an 8th grade album – an album for those memories that aren’t a complete part of the freshman to senior part of high school, a smash album if you will where he can record his own memories and thoughts of what it was like his 8th grade year.<br /><br />Now before I share with you this project, please let me once again recap the premise for this blog series. Each month I'll bring you a new post that incorporates something OLD from my stash, omething NEW that I might have just picked up and something BORROWED from wherever I can get it to create something COOL to share with you! It's just that easy.<br /><br />I wasn’t kidding when I said that my stash was out of control!! Just LOOK at all those gorgeous school papers!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And a closer look at this fun album! Don’t you love the pockets for memorabilia? I am hoping this will be perfect for my son to stash mementos.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This month’s final selections were:<br /><br />OLD: How about everything here? Okay, not quite, but let’s start with that SEI album and the stack of School-themed papers from just about every manufacturer there is including KI Memories, Stampin’ Up, Crate Paper, and WRMK!<br /><br />NEW: The beautiful new Smarty Pants line from Simple Stories and the fun die-cut Polaroid frames from BasicGrey!<br /><br />BORROWED: The words and experiences of my son. I want this album to be a complete document of his 8th grade year and as much a part of him as it is of me.<br /><br />COOL: This fantastic school-year smash album ready for the first day of school!</span></div>

I am hoping that he likes it too and will be willing to work with me in getting it completed! (He’s at camp right now so this will be a surprise when he gets back!)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />For the first spread I wanted to do a first day of school photo that we could slip into one of those cute BasicGrey frames. I wanted to keep is simple, but still fun. This walking a line between Mama’s style and a teenager’s style is HARD!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This second spread contains a fun pocket to hold ephemera! I’m thinking everything from class schedules to locker combos to ticket stubs. The rest of the album contains blank pages of lined paper, graph paper and more for him to collect his own memories!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />So now as always, it’s challenge time. Make something you’ve always wanted to make. Use up papers you’ve been hoarding for years! Create something for someone you love! And when you’re done, I want to see it!<br /><br />Tonight I'll be sitting in the auditorium for parents' 8th grade orientation at the high school. I'm so not ready! Here's to a wonderful August!<br />xoxo,<br /><br /><img src="http://www.scrapbookandcards.com/images/kelly_siggie_150.jpg" /></span></div>

Hi, all!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />I know I kept you pretty hopping last week with the pre-CHA festivities and now it's FINALLY HERE! It's CHA week in Vegas and I have just a few more projects that I wanted to share with you that will be featured in booths there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First up is a bit more of <a href="http://basicgrey.com/" target="_blank">BasicGrey'</a>s 25th & Pine. I adore how this line goes together and those large numbers? OMG TO DIE FOR! I have two packages already and I'm hoarding them big time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is my littlest drummer boy last Christmas Eve. He's always counting down until Santa comes!</div>

Next up is a little BasicGrey RSVP! I can't get over the gorgeous colors of this line and how happy it makes me. Part of that might be the precious photos of my Turner when he was one, too - how can I resist that face?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pZQxTuqpyz4/UewM2cnt-2I/AAAAAAAAEFc/808ljdhyTco/s1600/BG_RSVP_HappyBirthday.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pZQxTuqpyz4/UewM2cnt-2I/AAAAAAAAEFc/808ljdhyTco/s1600/BG_RSVP_HappyBirthday.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
These frames are new from BG and they have several options through the Capture program. These just happen to coordinate with the RSVP line. I totally love them - AND they have designs on the back as well so they are fantastic in albums.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8H5egBBLYpk/UewM20tjiUI/AAAAAAAAEFo/uNdf2yQAhGA/s1600/RSVP_HappyBirthday_Det1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8H5egBBLYpk/UewM20tjiUI/AAAAAAAAEFo/uNdf2yQAhGA/s1600/RSVP_HappyBirthday_Det1.jpg" /></a></div>

<br />
And one more for BasicGrey using the Persimmon line. I ADORE the colors of this line and truly can't get enough of it. It is perfect for pretty much ANY fall photo! And those feathers? Seriously? I die. I adore them!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
To change it up just a bit let me show you some of Simple Stories' SN@P! Everyday Life line. Could it BE any cuter (said in my best Chandler Bing voice). The black is just the perfect punch for this! I developed this little 6x8 album and it will be sold as a kit with everything included - how awesome is that?<br />

<span style="line-height: 17.27272605895996px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Welcome back to part 2 of Christmas in July! Seriously! It might be hard to think about Christmas right now with the temperatures soaring in the upper 90's but I could so use some of this cool, frosty goodness about now!</span></span></div>

It's all new this year with some added dimensional elements that you haven't seen in one of our calendar kits before yet it keeps all the fun things you have come to love! And I have to say it because I do every year - this is truly my favorite calendar to date! I freaking love this thing! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hello, everyone! </div>
<br />
Can you believe it's that time already?! Yep, it's time to start with the CHA trade show sneak peaks!! Hold on to your hats, folks, because it's going to be one amazing week!!!<br />
<br />
I had the honor of beginning to work with <a href="http://simplestories.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Simple Stories</a> lately and I have to say I truly LOVED their collections! I was very hesitant when Layle first sent me this beautiful <a href="http://simplestories.typepad.com/simple_stories/2013/07/cha-summer-sneak-peek-1-say-cheese.html" target="_blank">Say Cheese</a> line because quite frankly we're not a Disney family and I truly thought I'd have no use for it. But Amber has included the most gorgeous tone on tone patterns in her designs (can you see the dots here?) and added both the soft blue and a kraft color to the traditional Disney white, red, black and yellow. That got me, people! Truly!<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent;">Of course I was determined to use my papers in a non-Disney way but wouldn't you know it - it ended up being a little Disney anyhow because it's of my son's production of 101 Dalmatians! HA! lol I can't even tell you how beautifully these papers go together. I promise you it's going to be a MUST have on your CHA shopping list!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi, all!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For almost two weeks, the awesome folks at <a href="http://scrapbookandcardstodaymag.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Scrapbook & Cards Today</a> are featuring on of their design team members daily! It's such a unique opportunity to catch a glimpse into some of your favorite artists and the eye candy is truly out of this world! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today it just happens to be MY turn! You can check me and all the other fabulous ladies out <a href="http://scrapbookandcardstodaymag.typepad.com/scrapbook_cards_today_blo/2013/07/sct-design-team-fun-day-6-featuring-kelly-goree.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. We were to share a favorite tip/trick/style/whatever with the readers as well as a little known fact about ourselves and I wanted to bring that over here to my own blog as well! So here you go!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I always have but unfortunately I don't always seem to find the time to get it going - case in point, my three (yes, THREE) unfinished December Daily Albums. <span style="font-size: x-small;">Don't judge me!</span> I have finally found a way to triumph over my albums though and that is with the fun pocket pages format! I LOVE it! I love being able to throw photos and such into one of the pockets and basically have my album design itself! It's so much fun! This is an example of one that I have started (and WILL finish!) documenting my work travels. It uses the new BasicGrey Carte Postale line and the colors are dreamy!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And while we're giving away true confessions here (anyone else think I need to start a monthly blog post about that?!) I figured I'd share a fun little tidbit about me with you:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 25.454544067382813px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am an only child and because of that, I was determined to have at least two children. My plan when I was younger (like middle school - yes, we girls think of those things even back then!) was to have three boys. God has a sense of humor and gave me exactly what I wanted.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello, all! Happy Saturday!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just wanted to pop on quickly (I'm buried under piles of CAMP laundry - enough. said.- and CHA fun) and share my page for July's <a href="http://pagemaps.com/" target="_blank">PageMaps</a> with you. I had tons of fun with the sketch for this month and as soon as I saw all those circles, I immediately had the idea for this page but with "bubbles!"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J8KJkBY9opU/UdDzfUG7X_I/AAAAAAAAD8I/hCOU0N8GG24/s600/PM_Swim_July13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J8KJkBY9opU/UdDzfUG7X_I/AAAAAAAAD8I/hCOU0N8GG24/s1600/PM_Swim_July13.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Supplies: Coordinations and Bazzill cardstock; Lawn Fawn patterned cardstock; BasicGrey patterned papers, enamel dots; Fiskars punches; Silhouette cut files and machine; PageMaps by Spellbinders dies; Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L adhesive; Bella Blvd. sticker; Pentel pen.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lLcU_HR64Og/UdhDFWNMWXI/AAAAAAAAD9U/dZfKhI2EyKI/s1600/july13_12x12e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lLcU_HR64Og/UdhDFWNMWXI/AAAAAAAAD9U/dZfKhI2EyKI/s1600/july13_12x12e.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Isn't this sketch so much fun?! I have plans to use it again soon! I want to try it with the stitched circles next I think! There are just so many possibilities. You can see all the designs for this month <a href="http://www.pagemaps.com/july13maps.htm" target="_blank">HERE in the PageMaps newsletter</a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are a few detail shots of my project. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The circles were a Silhouette cut file I think from Kandis if I remember right. The enamel dots (which I thought looked like bubbles, too) are from BasicGrey. It's a bit hard to see here because of the white on white, but the base cardstock is Bazzill's swiss dot. LOVE that stuff! I hoard sheets of it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And as always I include a little of the PageMaps for Spellbinders dies - this set is the office supplies set! Isn't that little Rolodex card too cute?!</span></div>

I think you'll love it! Below is the project from that article - my sweet Turner on his 10th birthday (he just turned 11 the other day!)</span></div>
