I am on the final countdown of our quarterly scrapbook retreat with the Mbox. I am so excited I have all of my pics in baggies ready to scrap. Now all I have to do is pack. Crap that is the hardest part. I mean I wish I could take it all but how? How do I decide? I just know what I take I won’t use and what I don’t take I will need. Any thoughts or suggestions on {Read More}
{Fun with brads and Thickers}
October 18, 2008 by
I thought that this was a fun layout. I put all different kinds of brads in the decorative paper holes around the paper. This made my fingers bleed, but hey the things we do for scrapping:) This layout I had fun cutting different pattern paper in arches. And layering them around in a fun pattern. I just love the American Craft Thickers. You might also like: Two New cards {Altered Book} {Little Squirt Single Page Layout} {Cuttin & Stampin DT {Read More}

This brave little girl went into surgery yesterday at 12:00 pm and came out at 6:45pm (long surgery if you ask me) they said the whole time during this process that her vitals were good and the tumor was the size of a golf ball, it was {Read More}
{Adobe Photoshop boot camp}
October 6, 2008 by
This weekend I attended a Photoshop Elements boot camp class. It was Friday night for 3 hours and Saturday from 8-5. Wow talk about getting a cramp in the neck and butt. I haven’t sat in the same spot like that for a long time. (Other than the traditional scrapbooking) I have to admit when signing up for this class I thought that it would be teaching me how to edit and alter my photos. But when I got there {Read More}

{Design with street signs}
September 28, 2008 by
{Challenge}I thought that it would be fun to do a layout, telling the story with street signs. Sometimes I lay in bed and the sketches and ideas just come pouring in. Does that ever happen to you? Sometimes I can’t even sleep because I get so excited. So I went and took some fun pics of several different street signs. My challenge is to do a LO using these pics. Check back and see what I came up with. I {Read More}

I can’t even believe it. It was the one and the only original Scrapbook USA this weekend and guess what?
