Happy Mother's Day!!!



I had so much fun putting together this gift for my mother for mother's day! I cut out a flower pattern out of cardboard...used paper from circut...embelsihments were from colorbok...and bo bunny collection...I used my circut and my heritage cartridge to cut out "mommy"...and a quote that I got that is printed on vellum paper...This is a picture of me when I was 4 years old...jumping around the house on my favorite toy the mickey mouse bounce around ball...She absolutely loved the gift...she says that nothing I could have bought her...could ever have been any better than something that came from the heart!!! I love my mommy<3

an album for my sister and nephew!!!

ok...so my sister Katie is 9 months pregnant with my nephew!! I have started making an album for her and him. It will take me a year to complete it...because I am planing on having a page for every month of his first year..including a page for her baby shower, a pregnant picture of her and my brother in law vince, and a page for his birth. I have started designing the pages already...and have a couple put together...just need pictures to go in them...so that is an update for everyone with what I have been keeping busy with....I will post pics as they come!!!

Daddy's Girl


This is one of my favorite pictures of Erika and Billy. She was about 7 months old...and just learning to crawl. She had been trying for awhile, doing the back and forth rocking...but finally this day she was able to finally get going she crawled from mommy all the way over to daddy...and daddy had a big kiss waiting for her!! We were so proud of her, and she was so excited about it!!!

I still have yet to actually use a layout that isn't mine. The lettering was cut from my Circut Create using my brand new Storybook cartridge that I bought today. The embellishments and stickers were from colorbok.

My Scrapbooking area is finally finished!!!!






I am so excited to share with everyone that my wonderful husband, has finished my scrapbooking area!!! Every piece of furnature in this area is 100% custom made by him!!! Bill just finished up my desk tonight...that was the last piece to complete my room!!! I have a before and after picture of my craft area...you can see why I needed this...I had NO room before at all!!! The Embellishment center and the desk have to be my favorite pieces!! I love how he built an extra storage area for my printer and laptop to fit in when I'm not using them...so I can conserve space...He is so crafty!!! Just in case you were wondering...the 2 smaller draws to my desk don't have the handles on them yet...I only bought 8 handles...I needed 10...opps...oh well...off to Lowes we go tomorrow after the kids are off to school!!! The pegboard is awsome...I finally have a place for all my bigger tools!!! I can't wait until I can sit down and enjoy my scrapbooking area!!! Please everyone let me know what you think!!!!

my embelishment shelving unit....I love it!!!




My hubby has finished the 3rd project for my scrapbooking nook....one more to go...and It'll be finally finished (well for the time being)....My Embellishment shelf looks great!!! He finsihed it up for me tonight...I took a couple pics before he painted it...so it's in its natural state...but it still looks awsome!!! I'll post a before and after shot of my scrapbooking nook...when everything is finally done....I'm hoping maybe sometime this week or next!!!.....I'm so excited!!! Spent the day outside with the kids....it was beautiful out...hoping to do up a easter layout in the next few days!!! My family album is coming along great....i have so many idea's for layouts to come!!!

The circut create at work!!!!


This is the first layout that i did using my new circut create!! It is of my daughter Tyler. The cut out in the middle was done on my circut create using the sentimental cartridge...the embellishment flowers were from oriental traders...and i used my Crop-a-dile for the first time on a layout...I think this one came out really good...I'm kinda proud of myself on this one!! I think i'm going to start branching out and maybe start using layout plans that others have used...instead of just creating my own. Thats my next challenge!!!
