Finding lost minutes

I'd been frustrated the last couple of days because I just don't have enough time to do everything I want to do. If I spend too much time scrapbooking then I feel guilty about not spending that time with my kids and I'm not getting my house as clean as I want, I just felt kind of bogged down. So Brandon brought home a book for me called Time! it's just a small little book, but it's got a ton of tips on how to manage your time more efficiently. Today--I'm following a schedule and I feel so much better! I can see how much time I was wasting on little things like PINTEREST, checking my email too often, and watching TV.

Do any of you follow a schedule every day?

So I have a couple projects to share today.... Here's my cameo card set I did for 2peas:

Bright and colorful-just how I like them! I'm just in love with those fun cameo's by Maya Road--super cool!

Thanks for stopping by everyone! :)

I can't believe it....

 I made the Doodlebug Design team! Along with some other amazing girls! I seriously didn't think I even stood a chance--super shocked!

Wanna see what I submitted? Here's my Doodlebug Projects I sent in:

You can read all sorts of fun facts about all the designers over on the Doodlebug Blog. I think it's so fun to read all those random facts about people!

Hope you have a creative day! :)

Congrats! I've emailed you too!

I have one project to share with you today.... here's my Swim Party layout I did for the Designer Garden over at 2Peas. 

Hope you all are enjoying the last few days of summer. It's raining here--I've put a big pot of Vegetable Beef soup on the stove and I'm going to whip up a batch of homemade rolls. I even put on my new winter cardigan--lovin' it! Winter is definitely coming!

Have a wonderful day!

I'm a list person

Are you? I have everything I need to do on a large, large list. I write down everything--doesn't mean anything gets done though! haha And Pinterest is the perfect place to find people who love lists like me! I've been finding all kinds of planners, printables, etc. Pinterest is seriously addicting. Are you on there?

So I finally have some stuff to show you...

Here's a layout I did for 2peas Design School class. My Design rule was Emphasis. I chose to emphasis my title--on the left.

 

And some exciting news--they've asked me and a couple other GG's to fill in for Kristina's Finally Friday videos. This was my first one--it's not that great. But I'm sure I'll get a lot better. Check it out  here.

 

And just a fun card I made!

And I'm due for another giveaway! Who wants to win the fabulous Victoria Garden's paper pack by Echo Park? Leave me a quick comment and you could win! I'll post the winner on Thursday.

Let's Stick together!

This week Echo Park teamed up with Tombow for a fun blog hop! I have to say that Tombow is my favorite, most used adhesive! It's the only one I come back to time and time again! 

Wanna see what I made???

 

This first card is made using the Tombow adhesive runner and foam dots! loooove me some foam dots! I used Echo Park's Playground collection.

This one is fun--I used the For the Record Collection for this card. Again I used the Tombow adhesive runner and foam dots.

 

And last, I used Echo Parks Little boy collection here with the Tombow Adhesive Runner and foam dots as well. 

And you can't do a blog hop without doing a GIVEAWAY?! Right?? 

Leave me a comment telling me your favorite back to school tradition and you could win one of Echo Park's NEW Christmas lines! 

Have a wonderful day!

Kandis

Geeezzzz, that was fast!

I just went school shopping for Logan the other day--how fast has this summer gone by? GEEZ! It feels like it JUST started! I think I need to live it up the next couple of weeks before school starts--head off the the lake, go camping one more time, run through the sprinklers, roast some smores, and a TON of other things!

I have a couple fun cards to show you today....

And a sweet picture I took of my little nephew Brody--isn't his hair so fun?!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while--life's always crazy around here! Maybe I'll have some more cards for you tomorrow! ;)
