Some New Love...

I have been feeling a bit scrappy lately. It is mainly because I found this yummy paper by Marcella by K. It is from the Angelica line. Just so....yummy. I want to bathe in this paper. It was perfect for the next three layouts from my Disney album. These are photos of the kids eating an ice cream snack at Epcot. I remember this moment perfectly. We were standing there all eating our ice cream and I noticed the kids and how each of them was eating. I nudged my husband and even said something to him about it. "Look at them, honey. Their individual personalities come out even in the simple things like eating their ice cream." I grabbed the camera and started snapping photos. I just love this digital age where you can take a bunch of photos on the simple things like eating ice cream.

Let's start with Allie. She tries so hard to not get messy. She holds her hands a certain way and attacks the ice cream with thought and precision.



Then there is Caroline, who puts every bit of effort into everything she does and she does it so fully and with all her heart.



And Nicholas, who, well, is just all boy. He puts his body into it and doesn't matter how messy it gets, the goal is to finish.


And I just so full love them all, each, individually with all of my being.

Double Mocha Latte

This is a card I made for our school secretary. I owed her two pieces of chocolate. Pull the steam and you get the message. She loved it.


some newer layouts




I hope you can see them... These are part of my Disney album I am putting together of our last trip. The last one was a challenge on the AMR message board that called for a layout where you use only lyrics of songs. I picked a Disney song.

New cards!

Here are some new cards I made today with my new stamps. LOVE THEM!



Michaels and STAMPS!

I went to Michaels today and in their $1 spot I found some more stamps!! I bought 10 sets of studio g and then over in the clearance area they had a bunch of stickers and jellies. I just had to have them and being only $.50 they wer mine in a flash. The ones I got were Me and my BIG ideas. I am so excited about my little purchases. Oh, I also got some more card stock and some ribbon and Zots! Now I need some help with inks. What inks are good for stamping? I used the CTMH ones yesterday and they seemed to work well and the ones I saw at Michaels were soooo spendy!

Sorry about the lighting on the photos. I can't find photoshop on my computer (its fairly new) and I can't lighten them up.

I STAMPED!

I dusted off the stamps and made this card. Oh my! I am hooked. It was a lot of fun and I am so glad that my mother gave these to me. Now I can't wait to go to Michaels and see what other stamps they have and I need brown ink, black ink, and a gold color! The creative juices are flowing and I can't stop them now!!
