Guys. It’s been a crazy year so far. I really would love to capture a snapshot of life as I know it using the latest Week In the Life kit from Ali Edwards. Ali starts next week, August 17th and I hope to do the same. Stay tuned. In the meantime, continue to enjoy what’s left of summer, hug your loved ones and…eat some ice cream. Hugs, Tyra
Happy New Year (better late than never, right?). I’m sorry I’ve been gone for a bit! I had a lot of holiday time off and my family and I have been trying to get back into the swing of school, homework (in kindergarten — yes, they are busy these days!), snow days and work. I also used my downtime for goal setting and working with my husband on some big exciting family plans for later this year (I’ll share as soon as I am able, promise).
In the meantime I’m glad to get back into the swing of blogging! Thank you so much for your patience! While you are here, I would love to share a few crafty updates:
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! xo, Tyra
Happy Saturday! It’s been a long week, including a full work schedule, kiddie school dates and activities and chores here at home (laundry never ends, does it?) So let’s get to the juicy news!

Hello! I’m back with a little water color play as I play along with Clique Kits Summer School, a summer long event. Our first challenge involved using watercolor. Here goes:
I used the super fab Pelikan Opaque paint kit. Take a peek a the kit in my Two for Tuesday Feature. I’ll probably use the “Hopes & Dreams” panel for a card. The sweet little balloons are from the Sweet Stamp Shop. I used a copic brush marker to write the sentiment on the small tag (Yes I was listening to the song by the same name when I created this tag). The “hi” is from an old set of white letter stickers. These projects are not in their finished stage, but really wanted to share what I have created. That’s all I have for now. Take care and thanks for stopping by! xo, Tyra
Happy Thursday! (It’s almost Friday). It’s spring break here in my neck of the woods and the husband and I have split with week spending time with our kiddos while they are out of school. We started spring break off by attending a wedding near the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan and since that time, things have been pretty low key. Walks to the park and multiple viewings of Frozen. As a matter a fact two of my kids are in the same room with me fighting over the DVD jacket.
Well, I’m here to share a sneak peek of the latest SEI Challenge!
I loved the paper I used for this project. The best thing? No watering! Anyway, I hope you can play along. There is a $25 gift code to the winner! The kinds folks over at SEI wanted me to mention that this challenge is open to US and Canadian residents.
Thanks for much for stopping by! xo, Tyra
Hello, It’s me checking in with my latest happenings and some exciting news to share! I’ve been away for a little bit working on an exciting series of mini workshops I’m planning over at CraftSwag. Here is a sneak peek:
Find more details on these Mini Workshops here. I hope to fill a different niche in the wonderful paper crafting community and have fun being a design team of one! An exciting new chapter for me and I hope you can join in on the fun! In the meantime, I continue to be a part of the wonderful SEI and PaperHaus Design Teams, while balancing family and work. It all makes for a crazy circus kind of life and that’s fine with me. Sorry I’ve been away for a bit, but thanks for stopping by the blog! xo, Tyra
