Kaedyn loves Tinkerbell and when she had her costume on we would say, "Kaedyn, fly like Tinkerbell!", and she would put her little arms up and pretend she was flying! Sooo cute!!!

I did this top layout at a retreat in June. I tried the "New Arrival" cricut cartridge for the first time and fell in love with it. I loved the layout so much that I wanted to recreate it for my granddaughter's baby pictures. I am on vacation now so I have been doing a lot of scrapping and I decided to do it today. The top two are JJ's and the bottom two are Kaedyn's. I just love the way they came out!

Birthday Card

This is a birthday card that I got from a very talented friend of mine. I absolutely love it! I just had to share it!!!

January 22 - 29 Scrapbook Challenge

2011-01-25T14:48:00.000-08:00

This is my layout for the challenge. I used yellow on this layout. I haven't done any scrapping for quite some time and I have had a blast the last couple of days. I also used five brads on this as well. There are four around one of the flowers and each of my flowers have one in the center.

This is my granddaughter on Christmas morning. I bought her the Tinkerbell costume and she wanted it on as soon as she opened it. She was just way to cute!!!!

Speed Scrap

2009-09-12T07:51:00.000-07:00

Well here it is, my first speed scrap layout! I got a chance to do this last night (finally) and I had a blast. I think it came out pretty well.
This is a picture from a block party that we had on our side of the campground last year. The theme was "the 70's". Everyone dressed like we
did back then which meant that most of us wore tie-dyed tee shirts and jeans. We had a blast!

Foster-Grants

2009-08-05T15:12:00.000-07:00

I really am getting frustrated about this! I know there has to be something I'm missing but I can't figure it out!

Anyway, these are some pictures that my daughter took while her family was visiting her brother and his fiance'. The baby was having a great time! I love butterflies and the butterfly stamp that I used was great to use with Stickles!!!

More Wedding Layouts

2009-08-05T14:26:00.000-07:00

These are a couple more layouts that I have done from Sharon & Josh's wedding. I really like using the stickles on this and I the flair stamps fit right in with the flairs on the paper.

Butterfly Paper

2009-07-01T18:45:00.000-07:00

I wish I knew how to turn these picutes around. This paper is absolutely beautiful! I found it in PA and I knew that I wanted it for these pictures. The poem at the bottom of the page was also a find in PA. I love this two page layout!

The Big Fish!

2009-06-30T14:53:00.000-07:00

I don't know why this picture uploaded sideways but you can still see it so that's a plus! This is the last of the two page layouts that are now "DD". All I added to this was the little bit of journaling on the top with the year that it happened. He was so proud of this fish!

Frogs, Dogs, and Boys!

2009-06-30T14:43:00.000-07:00

I love this paper and it was perfect for these pictures of the boys! They were hunting for salamanders and frogs. I started this over the weekend and then made tags when I got home. I used the frog punch from Creative Memories for embellishing the tags.

Grammy's Little Butterfly!

2009-06-30T13:49:00.000-07:00

This is the first two layouts that I did while I was on retreat last weekend. I put the last of the embellishments on at home. I used Stickles for the first time and now I LOVE it! If you look real close you can see it in the middle of each flower!

S2L Challenge 1/11 - 1/17

2009-01-25T17:42:00.000-08:00

The challenge for this week was to use ribbon on your layout. I love doing layouts for the pictures from my DD's wedding. I used black Bazzill paper for the background and pink and white paper for the mats. The ribbon for this layout is pink even though you can't really tell from the pictures.

Scrapbook Challenge 1/4 - 1/11

2009-01-11T13:05:00.000-08:00

This is the two page layout that I did for this week's challenge. The challenge was to use a white background and only two other colors. I knew I wanted to use pictures from my daughter's wedding but I wasn't sure I had any embellishments that were the right colors. As it turned out, I didn't use the original pictures I had picked out, (these are much cuter!), and I came up with the perfect embellies! I stressed out over nothing!!

Under Construction

2008-12-09T07:35:00.000-08:00

I'm really new at this (if you can't tell) and I am in the process of trying to figure out all of the things I can do with it. I have had this blog for almost a year and have just added a profile pic! Can you say slacker?! I promise that I will try and to better and hopefully get pictures of some of my scrapbooking on here soon!

Update!

2008-03-07T14:00:00.000-08:00

I promise that I will figure this out and soon be posting my pages on here! It seems that I never have enough time left at the end of the day to spend any on here. Hopefully I can tomorrow.

My First Blog

2008-02-02T19:38:00.000-08:00

Well here goes. I have never done anything like this. I want to figure out how to upload my scrapbook pages so I have a place for them. I have my gallery on SP but you can only have twenty five pics so that's not enough if I'm doing 208 in 2008. I hope I haven't bitten off too much for myself!
