New Addition...

... to the scrap room that is! I found this great Hip Home wall art at Joann's and best of all it was 70% off!

I think it just adds a little something to the scraproom and is a great message.

"You're the HERO of your own story."

Tutu Cute

Yes... they are too too cute for sure! Jess mentioned a couple weeks ago we should make tutus for our little girls in our life so I said I was in. It was actually pretty easy, if you want to know how just ask. Here are the fun tutus that will be making their way down to El Paso, TX for my little Lillian and her baby sister that is yet to arrive.

Baby Cooke's tutu - pink and purple tulle, with pink organza ribbon and a couple little purple fire flies sewn on to the ribbon.


Miss Lillian's tutu - also pink and purple tulle, but with pink and teal organza ribbon and matching fireflies sewn around the waist line...


Okay girls, now its time to dance!!

P.S. (sorry Sarah...had Holdan been a girl, one would be coming your way as well)

Card Making Class

So I signed up for a card making class at Archiver's for today. It was going to be a low key Sunday and I thought this would be a fun thing to do for a couple hours... I get to the store and they have canceled the class but didn't update my phone number so they couldn't get a hold of me to let me know...the store is about 15 miles away (not a lot but in the city a good 25 minute drive) While I am shopping around (since I'm there already) the clerk comes over and says that 2 other people have showed up for the class so they are going to have it anyways. So lesson learned...bring friends with you! Here's a sample of some of what I did though, it wasn't exactly what I thought it would be but the end result was decent. (4 of the 8 cards)


Thank you Card

Happy Puppy Card

Congratulations Card



Hello Card

Knitting Update

So I've made a bit of progress on my scarf, its about a foot long so only about 50 more inches to go! Should be ready by next winter ;-)

Pages and Pages

So I am finally getting a chance to post a few photos of my pages from scrapweekend. I was able to get 13 done in total. Thanks girls it was so much fun. Looking forward to our next one.

This time I focused on getting some of Chimmy's photos scrapped since I have a million pages for Burt.



Then of course I had to do a page of my sweet little Sydney...and yes Jessica has admitted that I have now scrapped more pages of Sydney then her...and yes I have only done this one :-)


But...(drum roll please) my all time favorite pages from the weekend were my pages I did for my trip to see my good friend Sally in TX. We took a day trip to White Sands, New Mexico - which was gorgeous and we had a great time. I cut out a million little butterflies and attached them only by their body so I could lift their wings making the whole lay fly. The picture doesn't do it justice, but it is definitely one of my favs.


I'm off to work on my knitting project. I'll have pics of my progress on that this weekend.

Holy Scrap Batman!

Time flies when your getting ready to have fun! Scrapbook weekend starts tomorrow. Ohh happy day.

Lots of photos and pics of my work will be up next week so be on the look out!

Have a great weekend!

Photoshop Fun

This past weekend I got a "how to" PSE book so I can make some attempt at actually figuring out how to use it with some level of proficiency. Here's what I did tonight.

Before

After (I was able to get rid of the "stuff" in the background, but definitely still pretty elementary)

Hope your having a great week!
