Card crazy

I made a few cards this past week- I am having so much fun with cards these days! Check out some of the variety I made for last weekend's Scrapshotz online crop...






I spent today doing something totally out of my regular comfort zone... and I LOVED it!
...be back to share soon...

Happy NSD!!

I love that this hobby has it's own special day... I will be spending it with a great group of girls at an all day crop! I'm so excited!!!

I hope to be back with lots of things to share- hope you all get a chance to be creative today!

And here's a favorite card share I made for a friend's wedding last fall...

Another one to share...

This is one from a round of LO tag which was inspired by a Pagemaps sketch.

I LOVE these layout tags, they get me to scrap much faster than I usually like to and so far I have loved every layout I have done for one.



I am still working towards my goal of 15 layouts, 10 cards and 1 gift album using older items from my stash, to make room for all the new goodies i am dreaming about... so far the count sits at 6/15 layouts 6/10 cards and 0/1 gift album... wish me luck- my goal is the end of April!

What a delinquent blogger I am...

...although with no comments on the blog, who knows, I could be talking to myself lol :)

I finished 2 layouts this weekend, one I can't share yet because it's for a round of LO tag at Scrapshotz

But I can share this one:



These photos are from Dec 2003, Connor was almost 1, back when the baby of the family was actually a baby. I have had them in my 'to be scrapbooked' pile FOREVER, and I am so happy they now have a home in one of my albums...well, that is after it makes it from the 'to be put away in albums' pile into an actual album. ;)

Off to bed, but before I do...

I've got a busy day tomorrow so I wanted to share this tonight incase I don't get the chance.

Another challenge complete at Scrapshotz, and a bigger dent put into my stash... I have challenged myself to Trash My Stash, meaning I need to complete 10 cards, 15 layouts and 1 gift album by the end of April and then I can reward myself with some new goodies... I'm pretty optimistic I will meet my goal :)



Good night...

Been busy...

I know I should be packing, but I just couldn't help myself the last day or two, I've been feeling creative and having fun messing up my scrap space.

Here's one using some photos that have been sitting in my 'to be scrapbooked pile'.

Years ago when we took our cruise, one of the first ports we stopped at was Cozumel. Avery had 2 little braids put in her hair by a lady who did it on the side of the road... When she was done, the lady showed her the finished product in a side view mirror that had obviously broken off of a car. She wanted more braids put in, but we were short on time. Later in the trip we got off the boat in the Bahamas and were approached by a woman on the beach wanting to braid her hair. This time, we had more time but had only brought a very small amount of cash off the boat with us, and we wanted to make sure we had enough to get back to the boat, etc. Avery was a little disappointed but understood.

Fast forward a few years... Huatulco, Mexico where they can braid your hair poolside at the resort, and you can bill it to your room. No excuses this time... she got her whole head done and was one VERY happy girl.



I hope she remains this easy to please... :)

Middle of March already?!?

I honestly do not know where the days go?? Does anyone else have days turn into weeks without realizing it?

Anyways, just wanting to share my new favorite layout done for one of my favorite scrapping games, a round of LO tag on Scrapshotz

These are some of my favorite NYC shots from the trip my mom and I took in October 2008 (again, has it really been that long???)



I am longing to go back to New York.... but until then, at least I have lots and lots of favorite photos to scrapbook.
