Green is a big beautiful garden to me. This summer broke a drought & my garden is now lovely & lush. Beautiful butterflies always make a garden feel more magical. The photo of mother & child near a garden that looks like it is yet to grow looked like it needs help of the great green...

I did this for the September use it all challenge. The butterflies and hearts are made from 2 different papers. This is so pretty...love it. http://pickleberrypop.com/shop/Summer-Whispers-mini.html

I did this for the I Wish challenge. I used et design's My Happy Place. I love green and purple and lavender plants! https://pickleberrypop.com/shop/My-Happy-Place-Collection.html

I couldn't use 2 elements in this challenge, the words and the white flower. They didn't fit anywhere. I look forward to my crocuses coming up every spring, then I know warm weather is soon to follow! https://pickleberrypop.com/shop/Dear-Love-Mini-Kit.html

I used these pictures of my daughter Rachel when she was little. I made her dress and decorated the hat and a friend took these pictures at a pond. I used Regina Falango's kit Greenhouse.https://pickleberrypop.com/shop/GREENHOUSE-BUNDLE-FWP.html

I have lost 65lbs and I started taking Selfies with Snapchat to help myself feel pretty. I love this photo of me and how little make-up I use - but Snapchat makes me flawless. The kit I used is from Chunlin 'No Doubt Bundle'

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...

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...

Kits used Chunlin - Intuition and Possibilities

Chunlin - I need a hug kit - here

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...

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...

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...
