Bad Blogger!

Hello stampers! Well, I am a bad blogger!! I know I said I would have samples for my daughter's birthday invitations...BUT.... I have been busy packing and getting everything ready to go to Charlotte, NC this weekend that I haven't been able to get it all done!!! I am so sorry! I didn't realize how much goes into packing for Elle to stay at the in-laws for 2 days while packing for us to attend a wedding!!! This will be the first time we have left her for the whole weekend! I PROMISE I will get them done AS SOON as we come home!!!!!! I have some ideas in my head for the invitations...and IF I can just get them down on cardstock....I think they will be cute!!

SO... I thought I would share with you another one of my loves.....CUPCAKES! I have ALWAYS loved eating them!!...but lately, I have also enjoyed making them! I have been searching for yummy new recipes and I think I have a (new) favorite!!! COTTON CANDY CUPCAKES!!! YUMMO!!!!!! I made them for a friends bbq and father's day and they were a HUGE hit!! So, here is a picture of the deliciousness. They were pretty hard to photograph...but that is probably a good thing...wouldn't want you to drool all over your keyboard! ;o)

Hope you have a FANTASTIC weekend!

Hello stampers! I hope you are having a great day! I just enjoyed a fun playdate at the park with a wonderful friend and her kids, Elle is having "rest time" and I planning my New Catty Launch Party! I am sooooo excited to share the new catty with you all! I LOVE IT! I am thrilled with the New In Colors and even more excited that they made MARKERS TO MATCH!!!!!! YIPPIE STAMPIN' UP! SO...to celebrate, I am having a stamp camp to showcase the new Catalog and Idea Book, and some of the goodies in it!!! Come and check it all out! I am having 2 different dates for the stamp camps, let me know which one works best for you! I will close them at 15 fabulous stampers (each date) so RSVP soon!!! This stamp camp is $15 for 6 projects. The dates are Sunday, July 19 and Sunday, July 26 from 2-6 pm. Please contact me ASAP to reserve your space for this fun fun stamp camp!

As promised, I am sharing another layout I did at my scrapbooking weekend! I hope you enjoy it! I think this is a simple yet fun page. It took me a long time to finish this page because I put each individual "bling" on one at a time! But, I think they make the layout, so it was 100% worth the time! (Click on the actual picture for a more detailed look.) Awe, I just LOVE looking back at scrapbook pages and pictures! What a wonderful way to remember the past! Looking at these pages just makes me so happy!


Thanks for looking! Hope you have a great day!

Scrapbook Weekend~


Hello stampers! I wanted to share with you a few pages that I completed on my WONDERFUL Scrapbook weekend! My friend and I went scrapbooking ALL weekend last weekend at the Dulles Expo Center. It was a no frills crop put on by Get Croppin' and we had a blast! I FINALLY finished Elle's first year album (she's almost FOUR!) I have noticed that I have become a much more "simple" scrapbooker as the time has rolled on...but I think I will get back to be detailed once I'm caught up! (IF that ever happens!!) ;0)The pages above are more recent pictures (last year!) when we went apple picking! For some reason, this was an EXTREMELY hard page for me to do....they are some of my favorite pictures and I think I psyched myself out and didn't want the pictures to "get lost" so I went really simple. This was the first time she ate a "whole Apple" and she couldn't believe she didn't need to cut it! She kept asking "I can eat the WHOLE apple?" (hence the title!!) Oh well, the page brings back tons of great memories for me and that IS, afterall, the whole point in scrapbooking...right?!

The following layouts are one of my favorites! I had begun this layout at the LAST Scrapbook Weekend I attended and then I finished it this time! This is more my style, but I don't have that kind of time any more.....I have GOT to catch up!! ;o) I like the look of a lot of pictures, so many times I will print them as wallets to fit more pictures onto a layout! Having one picture on a page is really a popular look right now, and I love how it looks...I just take sooooo many pictures that it isn't practical for me! This was her first December layout. I really enjoyed making this one AND looking at it! Feel free to click on the pictures to make them bigger so you can see them in more detail.






Hope you are having a great day! I'd love to hear what you think, leave me a comment! I'll share some more tomorrow!
Thanks for looking!
