Yeah!!

I'm so excited and I know I'm going to be posting as regularly as I can! I have two crops lined up that I am going to attend. Usually I am the one hosting a crop, but this time I am the one who gets to sit and participate! First, I am going to an all day crop on Feb. 7! We start at 10AM and don't finish til 10PM!!!! This is local, but it's gonna be so much fun! And in March I am going away for a Scrapbook Weekend with the girls! We are going back to The Loft! I am going to have fun with "my sisters" and my goal is to become current on my youngest son's album! Wish me luck!

January 2009 Club

These are the layouts we are doing at Club this month. For the Homecoming pictures, I used CTMH's Paper Garden paper. I used the muted background paper and added color with the embellishments. The Christmas pages were done with CTMH's B&T paper. I like how it turned out.

Memory Jar

My sister Tracie had a really cool idea ~ to make my parents a Memory Jar for Christmas. It was actually pretty fun to do. My brothers, sisters and nieces and nephews all wrote down memories from our childhood to present ~ we had to come up with 365! I decorated a jar with CTMH paper called Paper Garden, and added some embellishments. I thought the jar turned out really nice and now my parents can pull one memory out of the jar every day this year and recall all the good times we had!

A Night Of Cropping!!!

My sister-in-law Jennifer invited me for a night of cropping with her and her friends out in LaPort. We stayed overnight in a really nice loft and we had the ENTIRE place to ourselves! It reminded me of someplace in New York or Chicago! We stayed up really late cropping, laughing and having a good time! I know they are talking about doing this again in March ~ and I definitely want to go! Count me in!

Club Nov. 2008

These are the two layouts we are going to do at my scrapbook club this month. The pretty red, white & blue one with the butterflies is from the Close To My Heart Blue Ribbon paper pack. This paper can be used for 4th of July pictures or just girly pictures. The second layout is from Close To My Hearts Notebook paper pack. This paper is soo beautiful! The colors are awesome and it can be for a boy or a girl! I used this paper for my son's pictures from Homecoming.

My Creations Album

I really enjoyed making this album! We made this 9X9 My Creations Memory Showcase Album at club. I used Good Times paper pack. And I am going to add photos of my son and his cousins from his birthday party. This album is nice because you can display it on your coffee table for everyone to see.

Little Man

These are the two layouts we are going to do at club this month. These are pictures of my youngest son, Tyler. Tyler is quite the ham! He always has fun and makes us laugh. Close To My Heart has some great sports paper, that is very versatile! The paper/cardstock is called Game On and it's black, gray wool and two shades of brown (bamboo & desert sand). The nice thing is that you can add your sports team's color as an accent, and you can use it for boys and girls.
