More for ScrapPink

It is amazing, I did so many layouts yesterday that I had to have more than one post!! How exciting! Below are pages of my daughters first day of Preschool! I thought I was more excited than she was until the first day. She couldn't eat breakfast that morning because she was so excited!

This page is Creative Memories PP & a bunch of different American Crafts Thickers. It was different doing these pages because I normally don't use the primary colors like this on my pages. They all turned out great though.
This one is CM PP as well. Pictures by the Happy Time Preschool sign!
This may be my favorite page. When you look in the magazine & see these kinds of pages I just go ahh I wish I could do that. Well its easier than you think. I just put everything on the page & then I kept saying to myself this needs something else....sooo I started doodling! I love this page!!
The PP on this is CM as well along with a lot of Stampin Up rub ons. I used the CM tag maker to cover up a mistake I had at the top! I think it turned out well though!

ScrapPink

Last night I scrapped for breast cancer. What a wonderful way to raise money for a cause. I really got a lot accomplished & I am very proud! I arrived around 12pm and stayed until 10:15pm. So it was a nice time to get away & spend a rainy Saturday. Below are the pages I did. I did not write down the supplies so I will just point out the Creative Memories product.

This page was actually done last weekend, but I forgot to post it. I love this photo of my girls it makes me laugh every time I see Aubrey's face & it makes me see how mature Jaylin is coming with her girly face @ the camera.
I used Stampin Up PP & K & Company letters purchased at Wal-Mart. I also used the Martha Stewert punch to make the decorative design under the photo of my husband. The decorative edges are really coming back!
This is my layout of SeaWorld. We had so much fun there, plus really good photos! I used the label maker for the first time! Can you believe it...I am going out today to purchase one for myself!
This is a page of my group of friends from High School minus one. We called our "group" The Posse. We were such dorks :) This page looks really odd without journaling so I will be adding that soon!
I did this page last weekend as well, but forgot to post. This was at the Shamu show, which was by far my favorite part of SeaWorld. This was the only show we went to, but if you ever go, go for two days one to see all the shows & the next to see everything else. I wish we would have got to see more of the shows.

Last weekends Scrapbooking

This was our first day in Florida! Man, I want to go back!
This was the night that we arrived in Florida. Jaylin had her blanket with her then, but when we left Florida we left the blankie in the airport. Jaylin saw this layout & started crying! It broke my heart!

Creative Memories Open House

Well my CM Open House is just right around the corner. I've been working hard on getting samples of a lot of the new product so people can see what can be done with them. My Open House is Friday, August 29th from 4:30-7:30 stop by & make a tag make-n-take, see the new product, & enter in a chance to win the door prize. Make a purchase & receive a free gift. I will have some CM products cut down by 50% for sale. If you order out of the catalog you will save 10% at my open house! I hope to see you all there!

Below is the new CM 18x18 Black Keepsake Display. You decorate the outside that comes with 6 magnets & on the inside it has a french bulletin board with a ribbon grid that can hold photos, keepsakes & much more. Plus on the other side there is a deeper box that features hooks for keys, a removable ledge & a double elsastic strap to hold memorabilla in place. You can do so many things with this. Weddings, baby, retirement, graduation, etc. I actually did this one on my daughters dance. I feel like redecorating my daughters room now to go with the Black Keepsake Display!

The below page is used with the CM Primary Halloween Additions kit. I have a lot of Halloween photos left from previous years that I got done with this kit.
Each Christmas I have enough photos to do multiple books. Below I used the CM Primary Christmas kit. I used a lot of small photo's so I don't have to do as many pages or with my extra photos I can put them in the PicFolio Max Album.
Another winter/Chrismas page. On this one I used Jewel Christmas Kit. I love the Jewel Palette, it makes a page look great & it doesn't take much skill!
I have one more page to do with the Autumn Primary Additions kit, however I ran out of ink in my photo printer! Ahhh, I have to go get some more!

Florida Page

This is my page on my youngest daughter Aubrey. She is as pale as I am so we had to really watch her in Florida. Products Used: Bazzill cardstock, KI Blook PP, Creative Memories Romance tone-on-tone PP, Creative Memories cardstock, Doodlebug Design boutique brads, KI Softies accents, AC Thickers.

More Florida Pages

Is anyone getting tired of Florida pages yet? Well, I am not near done so you guys are going to see the whole album little by little. The below page is called Relax'n. My daughter Aubrey did not know what to think of Florida. She had a heck of a time adjusting swimming all day (which she still hasn't decided if she likes) & running around non-stop. We did give her a nap each day & on this day she was just so happy to be laying in bed watching Sponge Bob. The scalloped paper is Making Memories & the card stock is Bazzill. All the strips of paper are just scraps I am trying to use up. The Journaling box is Creative Memories MOD.

This is a "lovely" photo of us at the beach. My swimsuit was too big since I just bought it last year I refused to buy a new one. Aaron didn't want it in the scrapbook, but I said we have to have it in the scrapbook!! So here we are! I used my new Stampology journaling stamps I love!

This is the Purple Paisly Paper Album by Creative Memories. My favorite color is purple so it is understandable that I use this as a mini album of my favorites!

Back from Florida

I'm back from Florida and I want to go back already! One half a day at work has already wished me back. I am getting a new scrapbooking desk tonight (its a reg desk, but it is just for me & my scrapbooking) I am soooo excited. For any of you that know me, know that my house is WAY to small for my very own scrapbooking room, so I am settling for my very own private desk! I am so excited!

It's been a long time!!

It's been awhile since I've got some good scrapbooking time in. However, today was such a nice day to sit by the windows & feel the wind while working away on a few scrapbooking pages. The layouts I did I used some nice rusty colors. I used some October Afternoon Patterned Paper as well as my favorite line of American Crafts.


We went to the air show last weekend & had a lot of fun in the sun. It was a long day though, the girls were wonderful until the very end when they were tired out from the sun.

This is my Father's Day layout. This was another warm day. See my new American Crafts Felt Thickers! I am a big fan of the new scalloped paper
Here is another layout of the air show. We took a ton of photos, I could have done a whole book on our one day at the air show! My Stampin Up star punch is becoming one of my favorite embellishments! Stars look good on anything!
