Long Over Due Update

Hey - Wow it has been a really really really long time since updated my blog. Where did May go? The last few months have been just a whirl wind and I am ready for a nice quiet relaxing June.

These layouts are from May's Scrapbooking Club. My friend Michelle, is a Stampin' Up demo and believe it or not, she does not even scrapbook. She comes up with these amazing and wonderful layouts for cub everyone month. My favorite is the pinwheel layout. I just love these little pin wheels, I am sure to be using them on more layouts and cards.

Where Is My Camera Cord?!?

Now that I am back from my travels and ready to share some photos, guess what?!? I can't find the camera cord to download my photos. After tearing apart my computer desk and a few choice words, I still can't find it.

So sorry to disappoint my blogging friends, I don't think I was meant to be a blogger.

I will look again this weekend, when I have a clear frame of mind.

Vegas Here We Come.......

Chuck and I are leaving for Las Vegas on Saturday, April 25 - Wednesday, April 29. This is the first time we will travel together, go out of state and be on a airplane since Jenna was born in 2005. I am so excited and looking forward to spending time together. It has been stressful, getting everyone packed and ready to go where they need to be. I am looking forward to sitting my the pool, taking in the sun and reading a good book.

My time has been limited in the evenings, filled with family, packing and life. So I have not been able to take the time to photograph my projects and get my blog updated. Sorry:(

Life will be less crazy in a week and I will be able to share my goodies with everyone.

Just remember......

What Happens In Vegas Stays In Vegas!!!

Just Another Rainy Day

I am in a six month monthly card swap hosted by mamajacki (SCS). This is the card for March the hostess sent the image and black/pink polka dot paper.

I just love these popsicle cards. I made this from a card kit from KristiK in a SCS Round Robin Card Kit Swap. I like having card kits on hand when I need a card in a hurry, all the elements to create the card are ready to go.

This is the card I made for LauraJean's Annual Pocket Card Swap on SCS. This is the first time I made a pocket card and I think they turned out really cute.

Crafty Critters Blog Challenge #2

Crafty Critter Blog Challenge #2

I am so excited to be hosting the next blog challenge. The challenge was to create a card with a few of my favorite things....

1 - Use SCS Card Sketch 180, click here I love the sketch gallery, it gives us lots of inspiration

2 - Use pink and brown color combo, my fav color combo, as some of you know

3 - Include a flower on your card, it can be in your DP, a brad, diecut, prima, etc. I am always using flowers in my scrapbooking and card making.

4 - Use the image of your choice.

My wonderful daughter will be 4 on March 30 and this is her bithday card. She loves pink, just like her mommy.

Thanks for looking and playing along in my challenge.

Weekend Crop

I recently went on a weekend crop with a friend from work, Ginne and Ginne's best friend Shelly. We had a GREAT time! I went with a plan and made 33 layouts. YES!!! 33!!!!! It feels so good to get the photos out of the box and into the albums. Here are just a few of my favorite layouts.

Elements Secret Sister Swap

Happy Day! I am in a Elements Secret Sister Swap hosted by Melanie (mnewby, SCS). My SS was Carla Madden and she sent a wonderful package of goodies. She sent a lovely 4x6 double arylic frame atlered into a desk top post-it note holder and calendar. Plus 3 bottles of Stickles, 2 card kits, a pad of purple 4x6 photo mats, 2 rolls of pink/brown ribbon (my fav color combo), a varity of images and flower brads. I will be 'caseing' her idea to altered the frames, these will make great gifts at the holidays.

Crafty Critters Blog Challenge #1

I am so excited to share with you my FIRST EVER blog challenge. The challenge was from mnewby (SCS) to create a card with a critter image and use green and yellow collor combo. This card was made from a card kit that I found in my stash. The image, dp and flower emblishment were included in the kit. I added the cardstock base and mats. I just love how it turned out.

What A Week........

Wow, what a super busy week. I had a ton of things to get done this week.

I work full-time at a local Middle School and we are preparing schedules for the 2009-2010 school year and it has been busy and overwhelming. You would not believe all the time and work that goes into scheduling students. What classes will the student be taking, what team will they be on, who are the teachers.....etc.

It was my turn to host Bunco this month. I play with 11 other women and we meet the first Tuesday of every month. I had Stuffed Green Pepper Soup and Chicken Tortilla Soup for dinner and several desserts. We have been playing for about 4 years and we all love it. We know that we will see each other at least once a month and we are able to stay in touch and keep up with everyone's families.

This weekend I am going to a all weekend crop with a friend. We are croppin' at a local hotel from 3 pm on Friday till 3 pm on Sunday.

Let me just tell you, I am so excited about this weekend. I have a long list of things to get accomplished and plan on coming back with tons of layouts to share with you.

I spent Wednesday getting my supplies all packed up and ready to go. The hardest task for me is what pictures to bring and did I bring enough. The last thing I want to do is run out of pictures to scrapbook.

Have a great weekend!
