an oldie but a favorite

I've been looking back at some of the older stuff I've done and I found this card that I made for my mom last September. This card turned out to be one of my most favorite ones that I have made. I love the colors and the country/rustic feel of it.

The papers are by October Afternoon. The envelope by Maya Road. I love the denim flower! I think I need to make more of those :)

I've been a bit laid up lately. I have an injured wrist that I'm going to have to go have x-rayed. Probably tomorrow. It won't keep me from crafting, though!! :)

It's June, already?!

I just realized tonight that I started this blog entry a few days ago and forgot to finish it! Oops!

The June kit at Scrappy Chics is unfortunately all sold out, but I wanted to share with you my projects to give you an idea on how fabulous these kits are!!

My first project, I must confess, I scraplifted it from the Maya Road blog. Mine turned out a bit different, but the idea is the same.



This turned out to be a great gift for my grandma on her 80th birthday. It's always so hard to get her anything, when she has EVERYTHING!! I can't wait to see it hanging in her laundry room. :)



I really wanted to sew the papers but I got lazy and decided to just ink the edges instead.



This layout of the kids features my new favorite pictures of them. I love how cute they look! Bekah all pretty in her princess dress and Gavin looking like a teenager (almost!).



This last layout turned out completely different than I had imagined it would. I ended up spending about 3 days on this baby. I couldn't get things "quite right". But it finally all came together. I love how the My Mind's Eye paper and the Pink Paislee paper blended well with each other.



Thanks again for stopping by. It really makes my day reading any comments that are left by you all!

Have a great week!!

been busy, busy, busy...

After taking a few weeks off from scrapbooking, I am now trying to cram in all of the things I need to get done this month. I did finish my projects for Scrappy Chics, hooray! I am so excited about the December Kit. LOTS of yummy goodies in that one!!
I'm planning on entering some contests this month as well. Wish me luck! I always get so disappointed when I don't make the cut...and I try so hard not to take it personally. BUT, I guess that's how life is; full of disappointments as well as victories.
I will share a few glimpses of what I have been working on...hope you like it!!






Oh, and don't forget to stop by Scrap that Baby! There is a new prompt up. I didn't participate this time, but I would love to see what everyone comes up with.

Have a great day!

My favorite mini album

I just realized the other day that I haven't shared this mini album yet. I did post a sneak peek a couple months back, but I forgot to load up the rest of the pictures! Shame on me!!

This is my all time favorite mini album. At least for right now :) It is of Bekah's favorite things at 20 months. Full of pink, sparkles, butterflies and all things girlie...I hope you love it as much as I do!!














Thanks again for looking!
