I wanted to feature each one 

as examples of the goodies you

can find in the store. Remember, during

their week as AOTW, the tubes are on sale.

It's a great chance to get new goodies.

Be sure to check out their IB ( Inspired by ) kits as well.

For the timelines I made, I used IB kits 

Honored Scraps & Ladyhawwk Designs.

CT tag featuring fantastic art by Alena Lazareva

 Together,spring comes alive with the fairies

& elf that are in the pack. The colors of 

spring are wonderfully vibrant.

Nature shows off a beauty during spring.

207-1 Scrap by Ladyhawwk Designs.

I am showcasing only the scrap on the timeline.

I love how it shows the chill and the 

cool colors of winter. There

is a beauty of winter found 

only with the snow.

New CT timeline featuring art by Jasmine Becket-Griffith &

IB Jasmine Becket-Griffith 66-2 Scrap by Honored Scraps.

The Halloween girl is enjoying her candy corn cupcakes.

It is the perfect to make & indulge in chocolate

& candy corn cupcakes after all.  

I'm sure they taste just delightfully delish

with a dash of wickedness.

Today I have a timeline set featuring an adorable & magical witch by Enys Guerrero 

& IB Enys Guerrero 20-2 Scrap by Melliebeans. 

She is ready to cast some spells tonight.

Perhaps she is brewing up a fright or two for someone.

With the cauldron glowing green, I wouldn't

trust what she is brewing!

I have a set for the designer

& also a snag timeline as well.

CT timeline featuring a past bonus tube of Robert Alvarado with the awesome 

IB scrap Robert Alvarado April 2015 Bonus by Ladyhawwk Designs. The scrap is perfect for your casino & gambling themed digital decorating. Do you like cards or would your rather

toss the dice? A drink from a pretty lady can bring luck your way or

kiss the money good-bye.Luck is such a fickle thing in casinos.

Do you believe the odds are on your side or does the house have

the advantage? You can find the kit and other tubes by the artist at CDO.

This one was inspired after a particularly rough month in our house. My husband has a phoenix tattoo on his arm. After every time we got knocked down, it was time to stand up & dust ourselves off again. I am showing two versions. The same timeline just with different wording on each.

One is a quote by Maya Angelou & one  has lyrics by Gemini Syndrome.
