Ready to Roll

I have my car packed with all my scrappy stuff. I am off to bed and ready to head out early in the morning.

Here is another layout that I did last April. We had gone to the taping of The Price is Right for my birthday and finished the day with dinner at Wood Ranch at The Grove.

Hiatus is Over...

I can't believe that it has been 6 months since I last blogged. A lot has gone on in the past 6 months as we did a lot of cleaning up at the house and gave the house a facelift and a new backyard. I will post a few pictures very soon. Needless to say I have only scrapped a few times in the past 6 months, but I am ready to get going once again. I am off to Roughley Manor this weekend with Kristi and the girls from Scrappin In The Hills. I am very excited about it and have lots of pictures packed ready to scrap. Hopefully I will have lots to share over the next few weeks.

Here is a layout from Tom's 94th birthday in October 2010, that I scrapped one year ago this past weekend while at the Sisterhood Retreat in Fullerton and then came home to a phone call that he had cancer and we were on our way up to Redding to go help him. He only lasted two months but we were able to spend some quality time with him and were able to help him through his battle. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't think about him and remember all the joy that he brought to our lives.

Thanks for checking in and I will be back soon to share some more creations!

Pages from the Heart ~ Final Reveal

It is hard to believe that my 6-month term is already over at Pages from the Heart... This is my final project as a member of the design team.



I was given paper from the WeR Memory Keeper Autumn Splendor collection and let me just say that I LOVE this line. It is the cutest fall paper line that I have seen in a very long time and I think that I had just the perfect pictures to go along with it. Our only requirement on this project was to use some type of paint or stain effect on it. I chose to use the Viva Decor Pearl Pens to accent around one of the embellishments on my page. These are great pens that are very easy to use.
Thanks for stopping by and I will try to get back with some additional layouts that I have been doing this month.

Christmas In September at Pages

This month my design team project was to do a two-page layout (right up my alley) with the Authentique Christmas line. I just love this collection. For this layout I used the Yearning, Expectation, Curiosity and Awe. I also used a sketch from Scrapbook Generations and my Vixen alpha set from QuiKutz for my title.



Here is the boxed flower that I made for my embellishment on the layout. You can go over to Pages from the Heart to check out the tutorial on the boxed flower.

Thanks for looking.
