Jan 17,2010 sorry I am late it's after Midnight!

I have been scrappin' most of the day. I got the 2 mini album kits done for my
crop. I did one adult album it's so pretty. I used the MME Valentine paper posted
on Jan. 10th. I LOVE THIS BOOK! I also did a Childs mini album it is a K & Company
ka-zoo papeer line. This mini album is a chocolate valentine box. Open up the box
and remove a little 5 3/4 inch valentine book. Perfectly accented with cute animal
chipboards, stickers, boarders. Perfect for that special child on your list or that
mother who you'd like to pamper with a cute little book to brag with. Here is peek
at the papers for the Child album.

Jan.16,2010 Keeping it simple.

Ok girls ... so sorry but I have a three day weekend a broken dishwasher and a crop on the way. So for today I am just going to post a page you may have already seen.( I don't have a better picture either ... I think I sold my origonals) Sorry :(
I am busy though working on some great kits for the open house. I haven't decided if I am going to leak them out or save them until the crop. What do you think??? I know what you all will say .... WE WANT TO SEE THEM! LOL.... I will think about it!

Here is my plan for available kits at the Crop. 2 mini albums both adorable and 1 valentine page kit, 1 birthday page kit, and 1 more I am still thinking about. I am so excited about them all!!! :)

Jan.15,2010 Beach

I don't know what it is but lately I totally feel like going to the beach. Maybe it's
the weather. Maybe all this yukkie weather has me craving sun and sand. I was even thinking how fun it would be to get a bunch of girls together and go to the beach
for the weekend and just lock the doors and scrapbook the days away. This lead me to
this great layout I did for my open house. For those of you who say.... I never saw that
one! Well it sold out after the first 2 ladies shopped (like 2 minutes). It went that fast! I have all the stuff to put together more kits and I will be doing it soon.... so if you want one let me know in the comments below so you can make sure you get one in
the next production. Kit is $10 and includes everything you need to assemble it... and
all the cutting is done for you. Just ink the edges and glue. Couldn't get any easier than that!!!!

Fundraiser needs donations ....

Sandra's daughter Sarah and my brothers daughter (my 2 neices) both love to play softball. Sandra and the other parents with kids on the team are starting a new
league. They need lots of funds for new uniforms,equipment and more! They are
working on a big fundraiser poker night and they are having a basket raffle.
Of course when the baskets are all together we will buy tickets! In the mean time
Sandra needs tuns of help and I instantly thought of you girls. You really know
the meaning of team effort and are always eager to help. Here's what she needs....

She is putting together baskets for the raffle and needs any donations. Baskets
are ....
Spa and Relaxing
Wine and Cheese
Scrapbooking and Crafts (I am donating whole basket)
Family Game Night
Family Movie Night
Sports
Gardening
Cooking and Baking And
BBQ & Outdoor. Anything you can do can
help fill the baskets would be so helpful. Cheep movies, giftcards, bottle of wine, chocolates, movie candy, you name it~ it would be so appricaited. SO - if you have
a extra something you found at Christmas on sale or if you just want to grab a little something to stick in a basket. I will need them at the next crop or for sure by the end of the month. It would be SO APPRICIATED!
I am donating an entire scrapbook basket... I know you will all want a ticket for
this one! Thank you all for being such great friends and caring so much about all my little causes throughout the years. I love you all! NANCY

Jan. 10 2005 New from My Minds Eye

I LOVE thia NEW Beloved line from My Minds Eye.It is sssoooo cute! I was lucky enough to
find it and get some with hopes to come up with some super cute Valentine layouts for my
upcoming crop. I love the mint green and peachy coral colors (pinks and reds too). I can't wait to see what I come up with!

Jan.9,2010 Layering punches.... card

These great layering puches make the cutest cards!My fiend Wendy came over today to
make a Birthday card. A vision she had in mind .... I just had to copy after seeing how cute it was. We used the 2 1/2 inch and 2 inch square punches to make these adorable cards. I can't wait to try the scalloped circle and make another one!
I used an assortment of K and Company Valentines papers and embellishments to create
the Valentine Card. Wendy used some Kaiser Craft black and whites and added some pink accents to crate hers. I think they both turned out so great!

Jan.8,2010 Smile layout

This adorable smile layout was created with The Cottage paper line by Scrap Within Reach. I also used some Thickers glitter letters and glazed brads to add a little something extra to the flowers. The flowers are Sprites from Prima. These flowers are so cute. There is a few differnt co-ordinating colors in each package and there is some with stripes and some with dots along with solids in each box. Very cute! I have these 8 boxes on hand plus one more (9 total) they sell for $5.00 a box at most stores, But I am offering them at $4.00 a box. If they sell more are available to order if in stock. For now grab them while I have them!

(FYI- the off white flowers are the back side of the dotted and striped flowers, just turn them over :)

Jan.7th,2010 Layout

Jan.5,2010 Layout

Recreate this great layout for Valentines Day.
I used Basic Grey papers and an assortment of embelishments.
I made the back scalloped page by tracing and cutting one of my favorite
pre-cut pages. ( I have a lot of papers with pretty edges - I save so that I
can use them as patterns - you just have to trace and cut them by hand.)
Try layering photo frames by adding pop up dots. This adds great
dimension and gives it a whole new look.
The heart is drawn by hand. Fold a piece of scratch paper in half, draw your heart... and
once you get the heart you like, use that for your templete to trace your heart for
your layout. Be creative... Change it up and make it you own!
