Queen of Deglect!

I am getting good at being a slacker aren't I! I again, can't believe how long it has been since I posted last but a lot has been happening in my personal life that I had to let some of the fun things in life take a back seat :-( I really hand it to these ladies who post something nearly every day-I just can't do it & I have accepted that! I will post when I can & I am proud to say that I have had some time in the last month to do some actual scrapbooking but unfortunately have not had any time to photograph the artwork yet...soon.

Here is something to keep you intrigued...one of my favourite how to books by CTMH...Magic...is where this layout came from & it is magic. I absolutely love the interaction you get with these layouts & how many pictures you can include on one page!

There are also some changes coming to my monthly newsletter...yes, I will get back to that too starting with my April newsletter, but please note that my website has changed to http://shelleyb.ctmh.com Please also note that there is no www. Did you know that my email address changed too? It is now sheshy@ripnet.com so make sure you make note of those changes so you can keep receiving updates (when they come!).

OMG! I am a slacker!

I can't believe it has been over 2 months since I posted! How bad is that? I can't even say I have had a good excuse other than just too busy...busy doing what? Somedays I have to ask myself that too!

As promised though, I have been busy with creating artwork & have photographed everything I have done so far. What I am going to share with you this week is a baby shower card I made for 2 of my friends (sorry girls, you are both getting the same card design!). I have all ready been to the first baby shower for a very dear "old" friend whom I have known for nearly 30 years now! Yikes! Even though our friendship "dissolved" a few years back, we were brought back "together" about 5 years ago now through a mutual experience & I was very happy to be able to go & celebrate with her at her babyshower for her first soon to be baby! The second shower isn't until mid November but what the heck, I will post the card & Trac, if you are reading this, here is a sneak peak of your card!

The paperpack is one of my favourites which has long been discontinued :-( Sweet Pea & the stamp set is also retired: Flower Child, but the pins & ribbon are new! Hope you enjoy & thanks for stopping by!

Where is it going????

Summer that is...I don't know about you guys, but once Labour Day starts to get closer, I get depressed about going back to school...even though I haven't gone back to school in 15 years!

So I have said in the past that I would promise to post more often but that just does not seem to be happening :-( I don't know how everybody else posts more than even once a week, but I just can't keep up with the Jones' so I hope you will all forgive me & allow me to post when I have the time-I promise it will be worth the wait :-)

I have been working away at creating artwork which is something that I don't tend to do in the summer much but I have a goal to get my old photos scrapbooked before I do any more of the current photos. I have about 6 2 page layouts done so far & just need the time now to photograph them to get them ready to share. In the meantime, here is what is happening with CTMH...

Thanks for stopping by!

A little behind...Sorry!

So I am a little behind yet again :-( I have been working on artwork believe it or not but I am excited to share with you today that CTMH is having their annual convention (too bad it was in California or I would have gone) & there are many exciting changes coming our way! A big announcement is to be made at convention tomorrow, so if you want to find out what it is, be sure to email me! Until then, have a great night!

It's June all ready!

Where has the month of May gone? I am saddened by how fast time is going anymore :-( Some days I can't wait to be over & the days I want to go by slowly, just do the opposite! Oh to be a kid again!

I am a little behind on my artwork posting, but here is another layout I created with Studio J. The month, CTMH is offering everyone a free layout, so make sure you get yours today! Visit shelleyb.myctmh.com to get started today!
