Sharing a tag I did using the artwork of Scott Blair. I used a FTU scrap for AIDS by Seven's Scrap. The Scott Blair tube is a charity tube to help raise funds for his brother Garrett Blair, of CDO. This tube is available at PTE.

Sharing a tag I did tonight.I used a tube by Rachel Tallamy available at UYA.
I used a cluster frame by Alikas Scraps.
I really love how it came out. Just wanted to share as I am working on being more
positive and uplifting in life.

Sharing a tag I made tonight. I used the artwork of Meg Baker
available at PSPTUBESTOP.I just love this tube. It really reminds me of my hubby Brian & I.We've been through a lot but
our relationship is still great.

Sharing a tag I did today. This goes along with my trying to
be more positive. You can purchase this tube at PFD. I really like the saying I added to this tag and how it came out.

I have been given the Zone Groups Copyright Safe Tutorial Writer Award. I originally earned this on my previous blog Shadows Creations. It still means a lot to me to have it. I am honored to display this on my blog. I pride myself on being fully copyright aware & safe in all my psp creations.

I did this tag today.
Really like how it turned out.
So thought I would post it on here.

Hello! I'm Sarah aka Shadows Creations. I've decided to revamp
and change things up. My Shadows Creations blog will remain up
but from now on this is my new home. I've been given the nickname
Wicked Little Cupcake and it stuck lol.
I just love it! So I decided I needed a new home with it :)
I'll be posting tutorials, scraps and random things on here.
I am trying to be more positive and wanting to post things which
make one think & stop for a moment. That's the idea anyways we'll
see how it goes.

I'm late in making one but nothing
felt right for me this year.
Tonight my oldest son & I
made one together.
The resolution is to be more
positive in life about things.
This will help both of us in
a lot of way.So what are your
resolutions for this year?
