Is there anyone left reading this???

Probably not. I just have not scrapped/stamped much over the past 5months. Mostly been busy staying healthy, getting sleep and planning. I'm excited to say we are having a baby girl in November!!! I'm sure the scrap bug will hit me then, if I have time!! LOL

I am however going to the Scrap Palace of Romeo in July. I can't wait!!!! Last time I had the best time ever. I think between the delicious food, scrapping space, and adorable house - it the best scrapping experience I've ever had. So we are going back!! This time with more people I know and a few I will know after the weekend!!

Week 7: Dust off a Stamp Challenge & Potty Pop Up Card

My (nearly) 4 year old niece just became Potty Trained. They live out of state so I thought it would be fun to send her something that makes her feel special. Of course she cannot read so I tried to show what I'm talking about!This week's challenge is Dust off a Gina K Stamp. Here is the first stamp set I bought from Gina K. With a family full of plumbers and guys that love potty jokes, I have found this set to be very versatile. :)

The paper is some more of the Stampin Up Designer Paper from a couple years ago. Very Springish! I also used the Family Stamps from SU

Enjoy!!

Missing In Action

I have no excuse, except that I've just been busy. I missed two "Dust Off a Stamp" Mondays. Hopefully I'll be back this upcoming Monday. I'm sorry.
I recently put together this book for my friend Lisa, who traveled with me to Hawaii in the Fall:

(Here are a couple of the shots from the book)

I purchased the uncovered-book from Paper Island in the International Marketplace at Wakiki Beach, Oahu.

Enjoy!!

Dart Tag

I realized last week that I haven't scrapped my niece and nephew in a while. Here's a layout from Jon's 8th birthday. We bought them ...er...him this dart tag game..They looked so cute all dressed in the gear. Sean and I tried on the vests too....not a pretty site... It was fun until we had to search behind all the furniture for the missing darts....

The paper is from CTMH, another of their new sets. Everything else I made using my Cricut and the Cricut Design Studio. This will be the last of the layouts I made at the last crop.

On another note, I recently decided to switch my albums from cute small ones to larger ones that cover the whole year. I am going with the We R Memory Keepers 12x12 faux leather 3 ring albums. They are really nice.... However, I couldn't fit all of 2o08 in one album. I found them at Archiver's. Can anyone tell me another place to buy them?? (Maybe for cheaper than $30) I did find them online at a few random places for $20, but I'm not so sure about those places. Anyway, my first album is baby blue, should I stick with the same color or alternate per year and what color should I go with next?? I cannot decide. The black and brown were too blah.

Thanks for your help!!!

Valentines Day Pocket Card

I recently found this tutorial for Pocket Cards on SCS. I thought it would be fun to try it out. I used my December Paper Pretties SOTM.

The ribbon came from my Really Reasonable Ribbon monthly club. ( LOL, I know what you're thinking...I'm only in two clubs, I swear)

I think they turned out pretty cute... now I have to pass them out!!! I'm going to give Sean this one!!

Enjoy and Happy Valentines Day!!!!!!

Wine Tasting - Via Nove

In November a couple of us went to Via Nove for a Wine Tasting event. It was a great time. The food was excellent!!! And the wine they paired with each course was pretty yummy too. Although I'm more of a White Wine person.
I picked the paper up from Micheals about 6 mos. ago.. I love these colors and was so excited that I was able to match it to my photos. I used my cricut for the different die cut flowers.

Enjoy!!

Whirlyball

For my 30th birthday ( back in October ), we got together and played whirly ball. It was so much fun. I'm glad I was finally able to scrap it. Enjoy!!!
