Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment
Six years ago- Scott and I were married! During the past six years we both graduated from college, moved three times, bought two houses, had a combined 8 different jobs, had four kids, and went back to college!!! It has been busy! 
Scott is at work tonight- and I know he checks my blog from work- so I wanted to let him know that I would marry him all over again! Love you!

Christmas Clipboard
Filed Under 3D, Christmas, Holiday Mini Catalog, Pictures of the kids, Scrapbooking | 1 Comment
I have just a quick post for you today. I am actually leaving to drop kids off with grandparents and then go to a nice hotel in Scottsdale with my hubby!!! We will be celebating our 6th wedding anniversary tomorrow!
On to the stamping. I mad this cute clipboard photo frame quite a while back. It is sitting in my stamp room and I smile everytime I se my daughter’s sweet smile!!!

I got this clipboard for $1 at an office supply store and then just covered it with cardstock and some patterned paper from the Ski Slope Designer Series Paper pack. I added some ribbon and a Baja Breeze tab made with the punch. But my favorite part of the project (besides the sweet picture) is the hat pin with pearls that I got from the Pretties kit.

I have my clipboard frame displayed with a decorative plate holder. I can change the clipboard each season!!! This is a fun part of my holiday decor and a fabulous gift as well!
Don’t forget about the Holiday Extravaganza sale!!! I would hate for you to miss the opportunity to get some of your favorite stamp sets at 20-50% off!!! Click HERE for more details.
Ok- I am off to Scottsdale for a mini vacation!!!

Christmas Mini Album
Filed Under 3D, Christmas, Scrapbooking | 1 Comment
And when I say "Mini," I mean mini!!!! I actually have a cute little name badge album to show you today. Can you believe that up until about a week ago- I didn’t have any pictures of my family in my purse?! After we gor out Christmas pictures taken this year- my first project was to make a little album to store the pictures safely in my purse.
This is the front. Can you see the cute little rub ons?!

Here are the inside pages…




Pretty simple, huh? I just got these name badge holders at an office supply store. That is also where I got the jump rings. I used one jump ring to hold the name badges together and then embelished the jump ring with lots of ribbon. Since the picture were so cute on their own- I didn’t want to use too many busy elements like patterned paper. So I just used some of the white rub ons from the Word Flurries pack. They added just the right embelishment!!!
Don’t forget that the rub on special only lasts until Sunday! Click HERE to see more info about all the mazing promotions that will be coming to an end soon, including the amazing Holiday Extravaganza sale.
Happy holiday shopping!

Perfect

Scott and I took the kids to the pumpkin patch last month and we had such a good time! I just printed the pictures so I thought I would work on getting some of them in the kids’ albums. Here is the layout I made for my son’s album…


It is a super simple layout!!! But it’s a 2 pager (for those that insist on only making 2 pagers!) and it has 8 pictures!!! I had planned on stamping some more embelishments- but they just didn’t seem to fit. So I just added a few brads to each page and called it done! Sometimes simple is exactly what you need!
Recipe:
Stamps: Well Worn Alphabet
Paper: Frost Day Designer Series Paper, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Other: Kiwi Kiss Satin Ribbon, Brads, 1/2 inch circle punch

I don’t know all the details yet but I do know that they are going to have bundles of product discounted 20-50%!!! But there will only be a limited supply- so you will want to come back here on tomorrow for the details! And I am going to have a special gift for all those who make a purchase online during this promotion as well!!!
