Our hearts are aching as we have said goodbye to our friend and designer Jill Walls. The kit: " Walk With Me" by Created by Jill touched my heart back in 2016 when I used it for this LO. I found this wonderful poem by Munda.... not knowing how much it would come to mean to me...

It's time.............. I HATE that it's time, but it's time to share mine. I can't believe that soon, sooner than later, will be the last time I'll say, CTM Carla here and I'd like to share a layout I made with a Created by Jill collection. Some things are just beyond comprehension. Losing...

CTM Carla here and I thought this quote in Created by Jill Simplicity was perfect for our Little Kolten. This was 6 years ago and that "little" guy is 8 years old now. OMG Where does the time go? He still enjoys the simple things and fortunately, one of them is visiting Grammy and...

Played with Simplicity by Created by Jill for this layout. CTM Carla here and the collection was great due to it's............ Simplicity. I had only a couple, very small photos and I didn't want anything to overwhelm them because the story was so touching to our family. Even though Anne was an...

Sometimes I just need to wander through Pinterest and get some inspiration, reminders, reflection or laughter. CTM Carla here and for one who's been through so much, I'm always in awe of Jill's ability to keep her sense of humor. Checking out Jill's Pinterest page I found this board. SO TRUE...

I've become an online shopping maven! My knees were the catalyst in having to move online for shopping. It's been such a blessing! CTM Carla here and I'm using CBJ's Confessions of a Shopaholic to creat my computer layout. title: 2018-10-24 online shopping cbj_confessionsofashopaholic credits...

Another really fun, super spontaneous thing I did while in Ohio was getting my hair cut and colored. NO! I mean COLORED!!! CTM Carla here and CBJ's Confessions of a Shopaholic was so perfect for this layout. I mean really, the title? Should I? Of course I should! What more could you ask! title...

I've always found winter fascinating, beautiful, mezmerizing. CTM Carla here and I probably have the same pictures of my yard, deck, street, etc from every snowstorm for the last 30 years. They're all different to me and I see differences in them. CBJ's Shabby Chic worked really well to bring...

I love the subtleties of the entire Shabby Chic collection from Created by Jill. CTM Carla here and I've had so much fun with this kit. I needed a no-photo/burp page for an album, so the sentiment was perfect too. title: 2018-10-3 Simplicty cbj_shabbychic credits: cbj_shabbychic...

Sometimes............ you just have to stop. CTM Carla here and pandemonium and chaos reign supreme in life. Nah, things are fine here, really. It's just the way life goes and sometimes it gets crazy. So I was happy to use Created by Jill's Pandemonium kit to create this simple no-photo page to...

Had one of the coolest adventures of my life. Drove 12 hours to be with my girl, Sandi, for her surgery and take care of her after. CTM Carla and we've been friends for 6 years, since our kids signed up for the US Marine Corps. She's actually stationed in Japan herself and came home to have this...

Our family LOVES dogs. Many of them have had (or have) multiples in the family at the same time! CTM Carla here and I was thrilled when Mommy decided to get a new poodle. I grew up with poodles and Created by Jill's Love Is A 4-Legged Word collection was perfect for scrapping Cocoa's arrival...

Can't get enough of our FURbaby. CTM Carla here. Harley rescued us the Christmas after we sent our granddaughter back to live with Mom in the Marine Corps. The house was WAY too quiet. He makes us smile every, single day! title: 2015-01-19 Our FURbaby cbj_lia4lw credits: cbj_lia4lw, love is a...

Another layout using CBJ's What I Remember Most. CTM Carla here and I gotta tell you about these cute, little diamond deco pieces. I saw them in the kit and I had to use them. I just HAD TO! In fact, I had to so I used all of them. Yes, maybe a little overkill, but they are darling and there are...

What I Remember Most has such beautiful, rich fall-toned palette. I knew just what pix I wanted to use with this collection. CTM Carla here and I was thrilled to be able to finally use this kit. title: 2012-09-30 fall day in minnetonka01 cbj_wirm_blends01 credits: cbj_whatiremembermost...

Do you remember last week, when I used Created by Jill's Inner Peace collection? Well, I couldn't put it down, so here's another one. Here with another reason I love my backyard! Spring means blooms and I love getting pix of our yard blooming. I also like to snap the changes that happen like our...

Took a picture of our backyard the other night and fell in love all over again. CTM Carla here and I love our home and yard. We've been here for 30 years and things have changed so much. When we got here, there was no one around us. Now we can't even see our neighbors for the trees we've...

How perfect is this? CTM Carla here and I'm buggin' to get these wedding LOs done. Life is an Adventure couldn't be more perfect a title for a wedding, right? RIGHT! So here's a layout of my God-son and his new bride, right after the I do's. Love the word art in this collection. title...
