Still hoping to try a board book. Talk to you soon, Dallas

Birthday Card

Here is a beautiful card that Julie made for my birthday. She did an awesome job and I wanted to make sure everyone got to see it. It was so nice of her to spend so much time on a card for little ole me. I feel so special. LOL

Anyway, it's Saturday and I am getting ready to spend the day up here in my scraploft and create the day away. Cristine is coming over and she is going to work on a very special project and I am going to try to make a couple of projects I have seen on the blogs the past couple of weeks. I am going to try one of those wonderful cards that stand up. I also want to try a board book. We'll see how that goes. I'll try to post the results later tonight or maybe tomorrow. See ya'll then!!

Check this out!!

Scrapbooking Saturday

Hello everyone, here it is Sunday night and I am finally finding a few minutes to share some great photos of a wonderful Saturday spent scrapbooking with Julie and Christine. I had been looking forward to it all week and it just as much fun as I had hoped. I was a little worried about how the space would work out. My scrap loft is perfect for two people, but this would be first time for three. It worked out fine and we even had a special guest for a few hours -- Nikki. Julie nor Christine had ever done embossing before so I broke out some old wood block stamps and attempted to show them how to do it. They got the hand of it really quick and both of them used some embossing on the layouts they were doing - they turned out great. This picture is of Christine embossing some phots corners she had punched. I took some pictures of the scrapbook Christine is doing and will try to get them up this week. They are really nice.

This is Julie sanding the edges of her pictures for her 4th of July layout. It came out super nice. I really admire the way Julie scrapbooks. She just comes up with an idea starts pulling stuff out that looks like it would never go together. And in just a few minutes, it is a beautiful layout. Amazing. I, on the other hand, either have to have a kit, or spend at least an hour mulling over different layouts to figure out which one to scraplift.

And here is our special guest - Nikki!!. She made an elf using the Paper Doll DressUp Cartridge to go on my Christmas layout. She had a ton of fun helping and really liked using the cricut. In fact, she stayed with us for a while and made a gift bag for her friend. But, more on that tomorrow. Well, off to watch the season premire of 24. Talk to you soon.

Baby Shower Card

Hello everyone. Here is a card that I made for a friend at work that is about to have a baby girl. I used Graphically Speaking for the 'G', girl, and the stroller. On the inside I used Doodle Type for 'Congrats.' This was a really easy, quick card to make.

OK, since this is supposed to be a place for me to share my scrapbook layouts - here's the first. This is one that I made with the December kit from Heartstring Designs. I have been getting their monthly "Housecalls" kits for almost two years now and love each and every one of them. There is always a wonderful "WOW" item. I especially like the full color layout pictures and instructions that come every month. Although, I rarely do the layout exactly as they do, it is a great starting for point for me. Anyone who has ever scrapbooked with me knows that I am the queen of scraplifting. Hope you enjoy!!

Wow! Well, here I am starting a blog. I really never thought that would happen. I'm not exactly sure what this will turn out to be, if anything at all. Right now I am thinking this is going to be a place for me to share some of my scrapbook work. So, good luck to me and my blog!!
