SFTIO Blog Hop!

Good morning!! I hope you all have been having a wonderful week! Today is the Blog Hop for Scrapbooking From the Inside Out!!! So exciting, right?! We want YOU to win this beautiful kit - ENLIGHTENMENT....

So what you have to do is go through the DT's blogs, leave a comment to better your chances at winning, and 'like' SFTIO on facebook. Easy Peasy right?


For me Enlightenment is a state of mind, a state of MY mind at least. So I created this LO with that entire concept. Something that is enlightening to me might not be so to you. So I journaled about that, about what enlightenment meant to me, in my own personal life. I have edited my picture by washing it out to create a sense of peace as well as left a lot of white space to represent the calmness I feel that comes along with being enlightened.



It's a simple LO, but represents so much to ME, and that's what SFTIO is all about! Creating meaningful LO's that speak to yourself :)

Once you have left a comment here then head on over to the beautiful Nancy's blog for another chance to win! Good luck!!!

BRAVE - SFTIO - Reveal #4 & Chance #3 at winning the courage kit!

Hello beautiful bloggers! I hope you are all having a wonderful, fun filled summer! This week has been real HOT for WA! I have been living in front of my fan, sleeping in front of my fan, and I swear if I didn't think it was too weird I would even bathe in front of my fan. I DO NOT like to be HOT! I'm one of those 'keep it cold, I can add layers to stay warm' type people. I hope you are all dealing with this summer heat better than I!!

Today I have reveal #4 from Scrapbooking From the Inside Out. The July kit COURAGE is based around some of the most beautiful summer fresh Lily Bee papers called 'Hello Sunshine' I LOVED these papers and quite honestly could use them on every LO! Who doesn't love a red polka dot piece of paper though?! I have featured this entire LO around one quote by Mary Anne Radmacher “Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.” Something about this quote makes me have a sense of bravery. One has to be brave to face the day never knowing what could/would happen. And if your day doesn't go as planned then don't let it get you down. It's just one day!!! Try again tomorrow!

SFTIO is being featured on the Lily Bee Blog TODAY. If you head over there and leave a comment then you could be the owner of this amazing COURAGE kit! I'm so excited because one of my LO's is being featured! Whoo-Hoo!!! So that is now 3 chances you have at winning the COURAGE kit. Scroll down to previous posts to see the other 2!

SFTIO Courage Reveal #3 & a chance to win the Courage Kit!

At Scrapbooking From the Inside Out we are focused on courage and what courage means to you. I have based this LO around just being myself and finding the courage to do so. It's not journal heavy, but I did put little tags of things I would like to remind myself. It's OK to be jaded. It's OK to be weird. It's OK to be passionate. It's OK to just be me and to have the courage to do so. I have created the background in a patchwork style that represents the different layers of myself that are all patched together to make me who I am. No one is perfect, we all have patches....don't be afraid to show them. It's OK to be YOU!

Would you like a chance at winning the July kit - COURAGE - from SFTIO? All you have to do is head on over to the GCD Studios blog and tell them what courage means to you.
Scrapbooking From the Inside out is being featured on the GCD blog today which is so exciting! Head on over for your chance at winning this amazing kit. Winner will be chosen on Monday, July 12th.

Giveaway brought to you by CSN Stores

Happy Monday Bloggy Friends! I am so excited to announce a Wonderful Giveaway for you today courtesy of CSN Stores. When I was asked if I would be interested in hosting a Gift Certificate giveaway for my followers I jumped at the chance! I love you guys, and it's easy to say that you light up my life! And we all know how important lighting is, right?! It can add such a beautiful ambiance to a room, make a subtle statement (or a bold one if you're like me)! There is one particular type of lighting that I prefer and that is Track lighting. I think it makes all the difference in a Scrap room, or any room for that matter. I have been stalking the lighting store over at CSN Stores; take a look at what I am coveting.

Hourglass Mini-Pendant in Yellow Glass and Brushed Nickel

Mini Pendant in Turquoise

Illuma-Flex Mini Pendant with White Glass

How amazing would any of those look in my Scrap Room?! I'll take one of each please!
