My daughter's water color artwork

She had to use an image from a magazine as inspiration...not sure what the original looked like, but I was pretty impressed with her finished product.

National Scrapbook Day

Instead of scrapping today, I have been Spring cleaning. My plan is to finish off the Spring cleaning in my Scrapbook room. See, I think I need some motivation to get me back into scrapping. I am in sort of a funk. I look at my pictures, then I look at my papers and embellishments...then I go back and forth...and NOTHING!! I have some wonderful photos and Cricut Carts that I just can't wait to work with, but nothing seems to get me inspired. So today I will share some layouts from a Scrapbook that I made as a gift for a friend two years ago. Happy Scrapbook Day!! https://picasaweb.google.com/115863453686340242430/20090328?authkey=Gv1sRgCL278dHmvYumvAE#

Another competition!!

My daughter has another dance competition this weekend...so far they have gotten FIRST place at the Platinum Competition and the Star Power competition...GOOD LUCK!!!

Been super busy...

my daughter is on a dance team and is having exhibitions and competitions every weekend...the last one is in April...I should have tons of photos to scrap when this is all over with...not having much time for that now though...This weekend we will be traveling to Wisconsin for a competition...her first competition, her dance team won a first place trophy and received a platinum rating...wishing them lots of luck for this weekend!!

Ole Man Winter is still here...

Woke up this morning to this 'friendly' reminder that it is STILL Winter here....

Sweet Pete

I used my Paper Lace Cart on this layout-the font and the butterflies.  There are so many different ideas I keep coming up with for this cart, but haven't found the perfect pics yet.  I was digging thru some old photos in frames and decided this one needed to go in my scrapbook instead of in a box...

Little Girl to Young Woman

.

This is a layout I did of my grandmother as a little girl, a teenager, and a young woman.  I just love these photos and this textured paper is one of my favorites.

I survived!!

My daughter had her first boy/girl party and invited 25 fourteen year olds.  We ended up with a total of 17 kids.  I can honestly say I would rather host a party for 17 fourteen year olds than 6 twelve year olds any day of the week!  They were very well behaved. 

My Brother and I-San Gabriel, CA~1976

After starting many layouts and not completing any of them...I finally finished one!!  Stickles glitter glue is my new best friend.  You will find it all over this layout.  I used it as a border, on the flowers, on the tittle above the 'i' in Cherish, and even on the background paper.

Blizzard Feb 2011

No work today...everything is closed today due to the Blizzard.  Maybe I will work on getting my scraproom reorganized and get some inspiration to do a few layouts...for now I will share another of my Snowman Gift Bags...

Goodies for you!!! Lucky # 12

Okay...so on March 12th I turn thirty-eight, just 12 years shy of 50 (GASP!!!).  I have a lot I would like to get accomplished before then, hence the dramatic GASP!  Time flies by so quickly.  So I better stop the procrastinating and get BUSY!!  I am hoping to get some help from some bloggers.  I love inspiration and there are tons of talented scrappers out there.  I would love to see some of your work.  I would like to see if I can get 12 more followers by March 12th.  I was collecting this stash for a stash swap and the site closed down suddenly before the swap occurred (I also have some paper-not shown in picture- and I am sure I will add more goodies). Being the procrastinator that I am, I did not join the new site to get signed up for the new swap.  If you would like a chance to receive my 'unswapped' stash, just leave a comment and become a follower (if you aren't already).  HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

Need to get busy...

I really need to get busy using my Cricut...I even have a Cart that I haven't even opened and few that I have opened, but not yet used.  I am really anxious to use the Paper Lace Cart...I have some ideas....but...I am such a procrastinator....

...wish I could be walking along the beach

...with another 70 % chance of snow for tomorrow, walking on the beach in my bare feet is most likely not going to happen, unless I jump on a plane some time between now and then....so I guess I will try to finish up some of these layouts that I have started and not completed...
