Page Plans Sketch #6

This sketch was so great to work with the page came together very quick. I'm so happy I have been wanting to scrap these photos for a while and when I saw this sketch I knew they would work. I used products from the May kit from Scrapbook Heaven plus Prima flowers and Heidi Swapp Crown.

Journaling reads: Tiffany is celebrating her 4th birthday at the Grand Floridian Cinderella dinner. She blows out her candle with Perla the Mouse by her side. I hope you enjoy your birthday cupcake.

I got my goodies from the Stuff a Box swap!!!

Wow!!! I got some absolutely fabulous stuff in this swap! We had a choice of two priority mail boxes to stuff. There was sooo much stuff in the box. I counted 78 pieces of paper plus a ton of embellishments also. I am sooooo excited to play with all my new goodies!

I have been loving arrows lately and I got a nice assortment of arrows. I also really like the felt flowers! A couple other cool things that might not stand out in the pics were a nice pouch from CK and a silver memo board! Out of all of this stuff there were only 2 pieces of paper I already owned and a package of CK flowers! I can't believe what a great box of goodies I got!!

When can I do another swap??? LOL

Scrapperie Challenge Week 2

Last Weeks challenge was to make a card that was not a square or circle. After reading the challenge I automatically that of this flower shape, I have a template which made it sooo easy just time consuming to cut it all out. It was a fun challenge. YEAH!!! I'm moving on to week 3.

Layouts were pilling up

All the layouts I have been completing lately have been pilling up on the bookshelf. So I decided to put them away in their albums. There were 36 LO's to put away. UGH!! It turned into a HUGE task! My almost 2 yr old had litterally RIPPED the cover off one of the albums - he loves looking thru the albums, and somehow had a second one apart as well.

Well I had to get a new album and transfer all the pages from the ripped album into the new one then add more page protectors - of course the holes didn't line up so had to punch new holes, cropadile came in handy. Also I figured since the album was apart I would put in longer posts. So I finally got all that album done I swear it took like 2 hours. OK, That album is full and I had to start on a second album for my son. I can't believe I actually had 2 albums in the closet I swear I forgot about them, they came in super handy though. Now I am actually getting something accomplished about half the LO's are put away, but it seems like I have been working at this all night so I gave up on putting the LO's in the family album - the alrgest stack of course. Maybe I will tackle the rest of these tomorrow, LOL!!! Like that will happen.

Happy Mother's Day

Mega Meet in Michigan

Yesterday I went to the big Mega Meet in Michigan, its a large scrapbook show for consumers. Its open from 10-6 and I was there ALL day. I had a great time meeting Carrie face-to-face who is the editor for Michigan Scrapbooker Magazine and I also met one of the ladies I chat with on a message board I frequent. It was great meeting you two ladies.

There were tons of booths and some unbelievable deals. Two of the best deals were from Queen & Co. and also Heidi Swapp. Fab deals from both manufacturers. The picture is of my goodies from the Heidi Swapp booth.

This is from this weeks card challenge. The card is for my 82 year old grandma who loves flowers.

I won a prize in Mother's Day Card Challenge

I participated in a Mother's Day Card Challenge for National Scrapbook Day and I won a runner's up prize. I'm sooooo excited. The Design Team voted on the entries and the other card won 1st place by only one vote, darn. I can't wait to see what the prize is. I will post the card after Mother's Day.

I hope everyone had a great National Scrapbook Day!

I had a busy weekend of scrapping. One of the message boards I frequent Scrap 4 Life was having a cyber crop and auction, what fun! I got a ton of challenges done and even a card for mother's day. Wow its done a whole week in advance. I won't post the card until after Mother's Day don't want the receiver to see it. The Turkey time LO was just one of the sketch challenges I completed. Now that the weekend is over maybe I can relax a bit, but I doubt it with 3 kids running around.

How much did you get done this weekend for NSD? Leave me a comment and you could win a rak from me.

4 Card Challenge

The challenge was to make 4 cards all different sizes and with a different sentiment on them. This was the first time I made any cards I was amazed at how quickly I was able to make them. I know which one is my favorite, but let me know which one you like best.

The Magazine FINALLY came out!

I'm so excited. I just got a copy of the Premier Issue of Michigan Scrapbooker Magazine. I have a step by step article and layout in the Magazine. Its so nice to finally see it in print. Its a FREE magazine for scrappers in Michigan you can pick them up at your local scrapbook store. They are also going to be available at the big Mega Meet in Novi on May 8-10.
