I LOVE blogging, but I fell a bit behind, life just became a little bit crazy. As I was rethinking WHERE I wanted to go with my writing, my projects, and working on a brand I decided a new space with a fresh start is just what I needed & wanted. The freedom to use my graphic designs skills as I learn at school to make my blog my <strong>own. </strong>
Bear with me as I find my way in my new place, I cannot wait to share with all of you what amazing projects I've been working on! If you'd like to keep an eye on all the things I'm doing, feel free to follow me, and leave me a link below to YOUR blog, so I can come check it out!
To get this NEW party started, I'm having a giveaway at the new site, so make sure you head on over to check it out!
Once you've followed my new blog -- <a href="http://shaytibbs.com">shaytibbs.com</a> leave me a comment on my first post, with how YOU found my blog, instagram, what message board, previous follower, Find Your Voice, and you'll be entered to win! Winner will be announced next Friday, so spread the word! Thank you for all your support here on my blog, I look forward to sharing & creating with all of you at the new site!

We're going to have a blast this summer and we really hope you play along! I adore Kristin and everything she does and I am thrilled to be contributing to another one of her amazing workshops!</span><br>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br>This workshop is about finding your storytelling voice. You are an awesome person with amazing stories, so this summer we're going to work together to find the most genuine and authentic way for you to tell those stories.<br><br>This workshop is for everyone! You definitely don't need to be a scrapbooker or paper-crafter to play along. We'll be telling stories through pictures, photographs, social media, prose, and more. The only thing you need is a willingness to become the author of your own story and the courage to step outside of your comfort zone. </span><br>

I LOVE to write, I really enjoy typography & combining heartfelt journaling with a page or project I'm working on can really MAKE a project. I wanted to be involved with this workshop to remind myself how important those words can be, and hopefully encourage others to do MORE writing, journaling & storytelling. I cannot wait to see the great projects I know will come from these lessons!</span><br>

I'm still here, trying to get caught up with work enough to start blogging regularly again! Thankfully I have the SMB ladies to keep me accountable for at least a few projects a month ;]<br />
<br />
Today we're sharing our first venture into the digital world of scrapbooking, featuring the <i style="font-weight: bold;">amazing </i>Liz Tamanaha, who designs beautiful projects and templates under her brand, Paisless Press. I have been a longtime fan, and was SO stoked when she announced that she was designing the Midnight edition of Project Life-- had to have it in my hands asap, and very happy to have found one already! If you aren't familiar with her or her shop, please check it out at <a href="http://www.paisleepress.com/">http://www.paisleepress.com/</a> you will fall in love!<br />

I don't know about you, but I LOVE going to garage sales. & this app is seriously life changing. Thanks to Vivint, I downloaded this amazing app & it found ALL the sales going on in my area, by address & looking for items I was looking for! Plus, it made me a route so I didn't miss any, AMAZING!</div>

While traveling alone isn't the most fun, I really enjoyed the trip & getting to visit & learn from another store [hi #46!] <br />
<br />
It is NO secret that it is ALL about the country music there & I loved it! From the minute I stepped off my plane to the music I happily blasted all week from my rental car, this girl fit right in! <br />
<br />
Did I mention I was there for WORK?! <br />
Thank you Archiver's fod a fun training store & staff, and giving me time to sightsee as well. I'd only managed to make it down to Nashville one other time & it was just a quick pit stop, & I'm glad I got more time to explore a bit. <br />
<br />
Beautiful weather, fun co-workers && thanks to my layover buddy, Andrew, tons of recommendations for amazing food & upgraded seats ;) Here's a few highlights of the trip:<br />

I love that each year, this season flies by-- SO many great, fun holidays all together! Derby Day, National Comic Book Day, May the 4th be with you, Cinqo de Mayo && a day JUST for paper-crafting?! What's not to love?! Of course I like to celebrate them all!<br />
<br />
This year I was thrilled to be OFF for the festivities this weekend, since it meant I got to play with some goodies, join in on the challenges & chat! It's been incredible seeing all the inspiration on instagram & in the message boards! I finished up a few pages, which I shared in my SC gallery, HERE, but here's a few sneaks:<br />

As many of you know, I've been a little more MIA lately, but with good reason-- I am happy to announce I am now a Manager at the Mason, Ohio location of Archiver's! <br />
<br />
As if going back to school, focusing on designing for myself and moving weren't enough to kick start my goals this year, this job came at THE perfect time for me! I am thrilled to have been given such an amazing opportunity, doing something I LOVE! <br />

What's great is I don't have to give up myself at all-- I will still run the Social [Media] Butterflies, travel for events and share my work here! I hope any of you close enough to come visit will do so, and I'm definitely looking forward to meeting new scrappy faces on my new journey!<br />

<br />
I am VERY OCD, and a little organization can help you out big time when it comes to a weekly project. Personally, I'm of the opinion that ALL worthwhile tasks begin with a great notebook:<br />

For me, I like taking notes during the week, of what happens, life events that happen. It helps me try to get an idea of what my spread has room for, possibly a color scheme/line of products I may want to use and which page protector I may want the second side to have. Here's what the week looks like as I draw it out:<br />

When I have time throughout the week, I even start on my week, for example, here's this past week, Week 15 in progress:<br />

<br />
I use post-its in co-ordinating color to mark photos, type, style, size. Right now, I'm using yellow for Persnickety Prints polaroids, my absolute favorite way to get prints in a unique way. Orange tabs are for full pocket pictures, pink is what week the protector goes to. I write on the tab post-its WHAT it is, which makes it SO easy when I go to plug them in after printing.<br />
<br />
How do you organize to get ready for your own weeks? Do any of you organize throughout the week? Work as the week goes on, or just commit a a few hours on a certain day? I'd LOVE to hear how you all do Project Life!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08987684473984228326noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207763831017500764.post-79085524644858217042013-04-19T05:00:00.000-04:002013-04-19T05:00:00.054-04:00hello spring. Yesterday was GORGEOUS.<br />
<br />
After lots of snow & icky weather, rain and wind, we <i>finally</i> had a day worthy of wearing shorts & celebrating the sunshine. The are starting to occur more often, normally followed by a bout of not so great weather, but it's getting closer & closer to SUMMER.<br />
<br />
Being so busy with scrappy projects, moving, job stuffs [more on that subject soon!!] and life, today we took a break and just enjoyed a few minutes.<br />

<b>Cheers</b> to sunshine.<br />
<br />
To upcoming road trips.<br />
<br />
To spending our nights at the drive in.<br />

Hello late night bonfires.<br />
<br />
To endless amounts of ice cream.<br />
<br />
Non-stop baseball games.<br />
<br />
Shoes? Overrated.<br />

We're back for our second edition of our new feature, Throwback Thursday! In case you missed the first one, Trisha & I will be hosting a bi-weekly post where we both share a layout with older pics we've never gotten the chance to scrap, or old product from our stash mixed with new-- a little encouragement for you to get those older photos on a page! <br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">What I love most about this project, aside from getting our memories into these albums, is that it is such a individually unique way of memory-keeping. It can be as simple or complex as you want, and is PERFECT for trying out those new techniques you've see popping up everywhere. I use it as a way to test out those watercolors, mists & layers on a small canvas to see how I like it! If you would like to see more of my Project Life, check back every Sunday, when I share a spread each week! </span><br />

I have been so inspired to use watercolors from amazing designers lately, and could not have been <i>more</i> excited when Chic Tags posted it as their Sunday Challenge, I got to work right away!<br />

I know this quote stems from John Mayer's <i>Daughters</i>, but this line ALWAYS makes me think of munchkin, and school age kids and how much they truly bring color to the world. It turned out amazing, I am so happy with this layout, and it is now on display on my new scrap rack ;] Make sure you join in on the fun and make your own project with watercolors, and link up to the Chic Tags blog, <a href="http://blog.chictags.com/2013/04/challenge-sunday.html">here</a>, for your chance to win a $20 gift card to the Chic Tags shop! file://localhost/Users/treshaylatibbs/Downloads/Digital.Downloads/SCThisIsMe/This%20Is%20Me%20Cut%20Files/Cut%20Files/Triangles/Triangle%20Elements.pngAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08987684473984228326noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207763831017500764.post-81429012567476285852013-04-04T15:00:00.000-04:002013-04-04T15:00:18.249-04:00Throwback Thursday. Many of us are socially addicted to instagram as scrappers, I know I am. What I love most about instagram is being able to quickly see and share all of our fun everyday photos, and all the prompts-- #throwbackthursday is one of my faves. Old fun photos are just <b>amazing </b>and especially lately, mean quite a lot to me.<br />
<br />
Trisha & I decided we wanted to start a feature together on our blogs, so we've come up with Throwback Thursdays with Trisha & Shay-- we'll be bringing you inspiration to jump start your creativity and get you to pull out those old photos & get them scrapped!<br />
<br />
Here's my layout:<br />

The colors were PERFECT & just make me want to sing I'm on a Boat-- which came out during that week and just makes me giggle. I love how it turned out, and the sewn waves were my favorite little detail, and the whale paper clip just ties in great ;]</span><br />

I feel like lately, scrapbooking has become even more personal that ever before. With project life & the need to tell more about the stories in the photo, not just add pretty paper behind it, I feel so much closer to my scrappy friends, online and in real life. Most of my IG followers know the good & bad of my life before anyone else, because I feel like you SEE a huge part of my heart.<br />
<br />
Thursday, my grandpa died, my Papa.<br />
<br />
It hurts to type his name. We haven't had the heart yet to really sit Caleb down and tell him, he doesn't quite understand what that means yet. I also have yet to make it through a sentence about Papa talking, without bursting into tears. I have put homework and starting my new job off a little bit, because I am just totally devastated.<br />
<br />
He spent most of the holidays in the hospital, and that was heart breaking enough. My grandparents were my everything when I was little, and I hate to say it, but I was <b>clearly</b> the favorite ;] As the first grandkid, that also had the first great-grandchild, I would stretch it to say I might've been a little spoiled-- a trip to Meijer for a toy most Saturdays, trips to Florida with just them every year, and all those little moments that mattered because I was the closest distance to them. We lived with them when I was little, as my mom was a single mom and worked a lot.<br />
<br />
<i>He will never get to walk me down the aisle. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I will never get to see him AND Caleb go to our favorite places in Clearwater. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>He will never get to see munchkin grow up and graduate, but he was lucky to have him as long as he did, I know Caleb will cherish his BB gun. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I will never get to hear all of his stories as a Vietnam Vet. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I don't ever get to say goodbye.</i><br />
<br />
It was almost fitting that just the day before I was collecting all my older pics, trying to decide which ones to hang up around the apartment and came across all the older family ones. With Mammy's help, I have a ton of them from over the years with him, and they will definitely be that much more important now. All of us loose close family and friends, so we all know how much it hurts, even knowing he's in a much better place doesn't make me want to cry any less.<br />

If you know me, you KNOW I stay busy. I have a to do list at all times that's a million miles long, and I love it. But right now, I don't feel like doing much of anything, it's all been put on hold a bit. So if you're expecting an e-mail, or text me and I don't answer right away, please have a little patience, it'll take awhile for me to feel like myself again.<br />

SO I don't know about you ladies, but sometimes when life gives you a bit of trouble, an iphone pic will JUST have to do it LOL As a lot of you know, I just got a Mac when school started a few weeks ago, and thought it was about time I converted all the documents/pictures/programs from my old computer to this one. UMMMM it is NO fun. I will probably NEVER do the whole new computer thing again haha It was such a pain in the butt, and I want to cry just looking at my screen, so I am avoiding BOTH computers until after I finish my homework tomorrow.....<br />
<br />
As a result, this post is going up, late, from my iphone, pics included. So excuse the grainy quality, but I HAD to share my page for the Chic Tags Sunday Challenge, because I am TOTALLY in love with it! Here it is: [with a promise of editing later with better photos ;]<br />
