A productive weekend...

I got some pages done. The first 2 are using my Studio Calico January kit.
The pictures are from a trip to the Santa Barbara Zoo with Auntie Diane.
The second LO is using 3 Bugs in a Rug. I've had the papers forever and finally got to use them.
Enjoy

Belated Chirstmas gift...

I have actually finished this gift for Jamie...for Christmas. Now all I need to do is take it over to her today... (hopefully before she sees it here) Each framed letter is her last name. Each frame would be hung from a black ribbon that is attached. They would would hang in the correct order to spell the family name. I had a lot of fun making this and I really want one for my own family!

I had thought about "attaching" the frames together, creating a long 5 spaced frame, but when I opened the package and realized they already had a ribbon attached I thought that hanging them individually would be cute as well. This was really EASY to make and very inexpensive. I actually got the frames at Target for $2.50....for a 3-pack! They are a 4x4 size and they came in white and black. The only "hard" part was the frames are not very deep so I actually could not put the press board backing back on....so I just neatly taped each "page" inside of the frame. I think they turned out pretty good.
What do you think??

Mom, whatcha doin'?

...Well this is what I've been doing! I am so proud of myself, that I actually completed 4 different LO's this weekend.
The first 2 are for Michaela's album. I used some Basic Gray papers and some misc. other goodies.
The next LO is for Adam. I can't believe how much he has grown up! Funny thing is I used Basic Grey paper on this LO too....for not being a HUGE fan of BG it's kind of funny!
The last LO is for Caleb. It's just funny little shot of him and Michaela and my sister Rebecca's house...playing with something they found around her house. The imaginations these 2 have are incredible. They play together so well!
Not only is Caleb LUCKY to have Michaela, but I am so LUCKY to have them!

Scenic Route fun

I just LOVE Scenic Route paper.
The first LO was using their Appleton line. I also got to play with my new SLICE. I love it!
It is so easy to use and quick!
The other LO is using the Sonoma line.
I have really been trying to get some things done...it seems like forever ago that I worked on LO's. I even emailed these LO's to Scenic Route for their January Challenge:Anything Goes. Who knows maybe they will like them. I also entered these:

A new look and and an update

....wow and all in ONE post! Well with the holidays just finishing up, I haven't really gotten to scrapbook much. Although I did make Christmas cards (which I still have to mail...was waiting on the photos!) And I did get a couple of other "paper crafty" things done....I need to take a few photos and get them posted.
Well, until I can get that all done enjoy a photo of this

This is my newest addition to the scrapbook room! This was a total surprise for Christmas from Len and all the kids. I even got 2 extra cartridges. I have had fun playing with it and I'll share the LO later.
Anyway, I do have to get my gift for Jamie finished. Yeah, I know it was for Christmas and it's already January....well you know what they say....better late than never!

I also have decided to be a bit more focused and try my hand at a few Design Teams. i really enjoyed my time off this past year but I really miss it. I was still designing for KBD but I want to apply for a few others...spread my wings a little. I'll try a little harder to post more often and to keep you posted as to what I have going on....things can get quite crazy but I'll try!
So, sit back, relax and look forward to what will be coming!
