Halloween Class

Hi everyone, I'm back finally! I can't believe how fast September flew by! We've been so so busy, but i wanted to post this layout, which is my newest class at the Paper Niche. I made this Halloween layout using Echo Park's new collection, Chillingsworth Manor. I'm so in love with all the great patterns and colors in this collection. They're definitely one of my favorite companies out there! Please excuse my terrible phone pic, as I seem to have lost my camera cord to upload my pics and properly edit them! I will redo these pics as soon as I find my cord, since it just doesn't capture the incredible details on here. I'll be teaching it on

The Falls

  Hey Everyone, Happy hump day! Here is a quick 

page I made of Kaiden from our trip to Niagara Falls in June. I have hundreds of pics, so I'm pretty sure I will be doing some more travel layouts soon. :) have a great week!

London

  

Happy Thursday! Here is a page I did using 

 October Afternoon's Boarding Pass collection. I've been hoarding um holding on to it for a little while. Shane travels for work, and he went to London earlier this year. I have tons of pics from his trip and I'm working on a two pager as well. I am still planning on adding embellishments to this, but it won't be anytime soon I'm sure! Have a great weekend!

Sea

Hey, back again to share a page in progress, I think! I used this paper from My Mind's Eye and because it's so busy, I wasn't sure how to continue here. I used pics from our Mexico trip last November, matted in grey, and used a Prima Mask with turquoise mist. I also added wooden letters fro Pink Paislee, which I misted with Tattered Angels wheat mist. I also added a rubon, a really old one from Scenic Route! I'm not sure what else I would like to add, but this is where I've left it. :) Have a great weekend!

Discover 6

Happy hump day! I'm off to work today, but I wanted to share another page Idid recently. This one came together in the strangest way. I looked around my room and tried to use what was out, on the floor or my desks, lol! I decided to stick to the grey, yellow, red and turquoise theme. I love the mix of colors and supplies on this one. These pictures are from Jenny's spring pictures back in March, right after her 6th birthday.

Bogart

Hey everyone I hope you are all having a wonderful summer so far. I cam back from our Canada trip about a week or so ago, and I've been slowly getting back into the swing of things. We've been quite busy around here, even though my kids are home, it seems we have more to do, lol! I've been scrapping here and there as i get a chance, and i have some pages to share. Today I have this one, which is Jenny's first pony ride, in 2010. Have a great week :)

 

Sweet Sweet Summer time!!

Ahhh, summer, its finally here! The kids are out of school, which means no more waking up early, packing lunches, rushing out the house, etc. For the next 10 weeks, we get a small break, no deadlines, no schedules, just lots of fun! I'm sure I'm going to lose my mind before it's over, but for now I will enjoy it as much as possible. :-) We are headed to Canada next week, for a family wedding, and some touristy fun. I can't wait to see Niagara Falls, and visit Toronto. Can't wait to share pics when I get back. In the meantime, I do have a page to share. I did this a few weeks back in May at the Paper Niche, during a crop, my first crop in years!!  I;m working on Kaiden's 3rd birthday party invites, which i will share soon. Have a great week.

I was Featured!

Good morning everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. What an awesome jam-packed weekend I had. On Saturdays I usually take Jenny to swimming lessons, and this Saturday Kaiden started lessons as well. I THOUGHT he would be fine, since he is always asking to ""swim with sissie." So he gets there, and goes in just fine, then as he gets into the pool...the screaming started, and continued for the entire lesson! Lol, what an experience for those other kids. I think he will need a few more of those crying sessions before he will be fine. After swimming I headed over to Paper Niche to work on some wedding invites for my cousin, and Wendy Vecchi was teaching classes. I had the opportunity to take an amazing class with her Friday night, and now I am officially hooked on all things inky :). Anyways, getting to point of this post, I was on Facebook scrolling through my newsfeed, and recognized a picture, and realized it was a layout of mine! Trinity Paper Arts featured a layout I had posted to their wall, on their blog!! I couldn't be more ecstatic about my first time being featured!  You can read the post here, and leave a comment too ;). Here is a peek of my layout. Oh I almost forgot, after church on Sunday I spent the entire afternoon at a car dealership, and came home with a brand new car!!! So totally over the moon about it, this was our first new car purchase :). Well I hope you have a great week. I will be back soon, to post pics from my amazing class with Wendy!

Happy Monday!!  Hope you all had a great weekend, mine was very full, but lots of fun. I decided to play in my scrap room this morning before i attacked my to do list. I brought home some of Bo Bunny's new Country Garden for the Paper Niche on Friday and I couldn't wait to play with it. I did a quick page with a couple of pics from last March when we went to Disney for Jenny's 5th birthday.

Cherish

Happy Thursday everyone! Today is my first "quiet" day for the week. I'm home with my lil guy for most of the day, catching up on schoolwork and housework along with errands, then it's off to school this evening. I did this layout over the weekend, from some scraps i had left over, along with some really old embellishments! I love it when I use up my old stuff, makes all the buying feel justified, ever so slightly. ;)

Chichen Itza

Hope you all are having a great week, we're halfway to another weekend, woot!! This is my second page I've done from our Anniversary getaway. We visited the pyramids at Chichen Itza while we were in Mexico, what an awesome experience! School is crazy busy this semester, not really sure how I'm managing so well, but I sure hope it continues.

Destination: Adventure

I'm back to share another layout I had put together sometime around the holidays. These pics are from our 10 year anniversary vacation to Mexico in November 11'. I used Teresa Collins travelogue line and lots of brown and kraft. I've got over 500 pictures to scrap from that trip (out of 1200!) and I managed to scrap a whole 4! Will be back soon to share the other layout. Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Simply the Best

Just popping in to share a quick layout I put together using Echo Park's "A Boy's Life" papers I picked up recently. I love the colors and patterns in this line. This picture is from about a year ago when my little guy was only 1 and a half. It's all flying by sooo fast :(.

Let them Eat Cake

Ok my first real post for this year, and it's a layout from last year, lol. It's one I did as a sample for the Paper Niche back when we got the Bo Bunny Sweet Tooth line in stock. I have a bunch more to share, stuff I've done here and there, amidst my crazy schedule. Some days I wonder if it will ever slow down, and I realize it probably won't and when it does I"m sure I'll want it all back! Blessed to be stressed as they say. I'm fighting a losing battle to the cold, can't wait til it's over. Until then, just gotta keep it moving! Have a great rest of the week.

Parade

Just popping in to share this layout I did a while ago. I used some Echo Park papers. This picture was taken at Disney while watching the parade.

Scary Cute...

Ok really desperately trying to keep up with posting here! Busy never felt so crazy!! I have a feeling this is just the way it's going to be from now on, but I'm entirely grateful for it all! I feel blessed to be stressed because at the end of the day I have one amazing life, and am so lucky to not have any serious drama in my life! While scrapping has definitely been on the back burner lately, I did manage to put together a quick page last week. Now that fall has officially begun, and all the halloween decorations are out in the stores, i was inspired to create something halloweeny <----- lol!

Hey everyone, back again! Just sharing another layout of Kaiden, I did last week. Very simple, but I like it a lot. This is the second layout I've done of him in the past week, lol trying to catch up i guess!

Inspired...

Hey everyone, I  have been sooo neglectful but it's gonna get better starting now! I have actually been scrapping, but just haven't gotten a chance to blog. I saw this layout on Crate Paper's blog last week, and I liked it so much, I created a page based on it! Here is the original one:

                                                 This layout was created by Dayna Howard

And here's my take on it:

Happy Monday everyone, have a great week!

July Class

Wow, I've really been neglectful lately, but what can I say, life is crazy busy right now. Most of June was a blur as both kids had viral tummy infections, and now that summer's here, we will be travelling like crazy. There's also mine and kaiden's birthdays in July, so even more to do! Anyways stopping by really quick to share pictures of my July class at The paper Niche.
