As much as I am thrilled and excited to debut my new products, I don't LIKE how then the previous collections are then not focused on anymore and are considered "old" in the crafting world. If I had to be honest, this is one of the very few things that disappoints me about crafting. So I thought I would share some of my favorite projects daily from my last release (see I am not using the word "old") until it's time to show and reveal my LATEST collections.

SPORTS EDITION II layout by Julie Jacob- (papers, brads, and trims!!!)

Another designed by Jamie Harder- (papers, transparency, chipboad, die-cuts)
I so love these layouts!!!!

I loved Maridette Cachola's NOTATIONS album-
I love that the kit came with all the papers and the binder. *** HINT HINT.... this was such a huge success that I will have a kit in a similar format as NOTATIONS album kit coming out at CHA again.
Daily I am seeing ALL the creations and crafty goodness that my design team is creating. I am BLOWN away at their creativity and inspired. I can't wait to show you. THANK YOU GIRLS!!!! I am so thankful for their help in all that they do.
Today, I was back at my gym since our vacation. I have to say that I am NOT giving it up! It is harder than I ever thought it would be. However, I feel like it pushes me beyond anything I would ever do on my own. PLUS, mentally working out each day keeps me feeling so happy! I even purchased my own 25 lb kettlebell so I could take it with me on my road trip to AZ last week. If you are not familiar with a kettlebell workout...google it... it's such a great workout!!!!!
