I'm in paper heaven!

I've been doing some scrapbooking lately, after taking a few months off... Ahhh, its good to be back :)


These pics are from our family vacation over a year ago... the girls first time on a plane. The title is a play on the french phrase for 'I love you' :)

Its based on this weeks sketch from pencillines.com






I liked how this one turned out... I used my cricut to cut out the cool chandelier, owl and the title.

The chandelier is cut from Core'dination cardstock and distressed a whole bunch to make it look old and like its from a haunted house :) fun!

Just some more fun details- glitter, stamping and all that good stuff...

I'm hoping to spend the rest of the week, and maybe even the weekend lost in my little scrapbooking world!

Baby Tegan

I had the privilege to design the birth announcements for my newest niece- what a precious little cutie! She has the most adorable chubby cheeks :)

May God always bless you and keep you, little Tegan!

black and white damask

I made an elegant birthday card today....

I used this weeks sketch from 2s4y:

...And heres my take on it :)

I love the black damask paper from My Minds Eye... its gorgeous! And feels even better with its velvety flocking :)

a brown paper bag

Well, I'm back to my little blog... hopefully more often than lately!

I made this card, and added a little 'prettiness' to a plain, brown paper bag for a birthday present.

Happy Wednesday, and I'll be back soon :)

My summer update

Whew, it seems like every summer just gets busier and more crazy every year! We have three more weeks till school starts and I'm actually looking forward to it.... even if it means getting up early :)


We went to the fair this year, and the girls had so much fun! We were so lucky to get free bracelets (for the rides) and they were able to go on all of the rides... what fun!


I also made these baby girl birth announcements recently. I loved how girly they turned out... these are just a few of the ones I made.

We'll see if I can check back in before school starts....

I was wrong

Well, I was wrong- Summer is an even worse time to blog in my household! I've been incredibly busy with out of town family visiting, birthday parties, my hubby working away from home, long summer days by the pool... I'm really hoping things settle down for a little while before school starts. But most likely this will be the last time I blog until mid September.

I have been making some photo cards in my few spare minutes... here are some:

I hope all of you have a wonderful summer! See you in the fall ;)

Color my world: Red

So, I'm back at it, after a couple months break :)

this month is the color red, so here is my red collage:

One of my favorite colors is red, so this will be a fun month!
