I've been missing...

the blogging community.  I have a saying, "Time is my biggest enemy."  And that has proven true lately.  I have too many projects.  Too many ideas.  But not enough time to execute.

For the past two weeks, I attended an Army course called Master Resilience Training.  This training was right up my alley...as every day during the course we were asked to "Hunt the Good Stuff."  Hunt the Good Stuff is similar to my motto..."Find the beautiful in the everyday."

While in Columbia, SC, where the MRT course is located, I took some time to visit a nearby park, the Sesquicentennial State Park.  I have many treasures from the visit.  Here are a few of them...

Cryztal Rain...

is a fabulous designer.  I love the fantasy and (semi)traditional pages I can make with her kits.  Here are two using Life's A Beach:

This one is also seen at The Flower Petal...the before picture taken
by Victor M. Chavez and my after.

Vintage Paris Art Studio...

another magnificent kit by Finecrafted Designs!  Here are two pages I made using the kit:

Marta van Eck...

has new kit out @ Deviant Scrap.  Its called Family Album and is great for those heritage photographs.

Clementine Designs...

has a new kit out:  Street Dollies.  It is on the darker side; and the background papers are FANTASTIC!

Here are some layout I've made with the kit:

Yes, thats my head!

The word art reads:
You can change your life if you change your mind.
