I love to...

SEW! If you know me at all, you are laughing right now. I think the last time I actually sewed anything was in Home Ec in high school. But I do love the way it looks on my scrapbook pages. So every once in awhile I pull out my old sewing machine and add some stitching. I think it is amazing how much it adds to the page. If you've never tried it, I challenge you to! If you don't have a sewing maching, a needle and thread works just as well. Here are a few pages I did with a little sewing on them. It was the first time I sewed with ribbon - it worked pretty well and I know it is staying put. Also LOVE the bling cupcake on the 'Happy Day' page, every girl needs a little bling...

enjoy!

Spring Fever!

As I sit here watching it snow - AGAIN! I am realizing how much I look forward to spring. I really love having snow at Christmastime and even don't mind January. But once February comes I have had enough. Living here I should be used to it, but I guess being inside gives me much more time to scrapbook! If I were outside enjoying the beautiful weather I wouldn't be creating. Here's one of my latest, enjoy!

Valentine Wishes...

My daughter Molly wanted to make her Valentine cards this year. I found a great pattern in Scrapbooks Etc. magazine and this is what we came up with. Enjoy!

Birthday wishes

Today is my mom's birthday - I promise mom I won't tell anyone how old you are!! Here is a page I did of my wonderful mom with her grandkids just this past Christmas. Happy Birthday Mom -have a great day. We love you!

A scrappy afternoon

I spent the afternoon yesterday scrapping at my friend Tammy's house. She is a talented lady - check our her blog she has some amazing ideas with all the instructions. Her blog is Scrappin' with Tammy

My oldest son Sam also pointed out that he is the only one who doesn't have a page posted on my blog. This is a page I did awhile ago, but is one of my favorite pages of him. The picture, even though you can't see his face, captures his personality perfectly!

Have a great day and happy scrapping!

Good news & bad

Well the news is in and I wasn't chosen to be on the Sassy Lil Sketches design team. The good news is that I was asked to be a guest designer for the month of June. I'm pretty excited to design for their site. Their monthly sketches start on the 7th of February - check them out if you get a chance!

Design team call

So I told you all I was hoping to get onto a design team. I found a brand new sketch site that just happened to be looking for designers. Sassy Lil Sketches is a great new site that is going to be releasing 2 new sketches a month. It's definately worth checking out. Here's are my pages I submitted for the call - wish me luck! Happy scrapping...
