Documenting Moments...

Scrapbooking is so rewarding and has a therapeutic way of calming ones soul.

I have so many scrapbooks that I may have rent a climate controlled store room.

 

No joke!

 

 

On a side note:  I really miss the Scrappy Weekends at Archiver's.  That was one of my most favorite stores to hang out once a month.  I met great friends and enjoyed sharing creative ideas.

It seems the Scrapbooking community has gotten smaller in the past few years.

Everyone is really into digital.  I still like feeling the paper in my hands.

Addicted to Scissors, I AM!



Happy Mother's Day!

My Mother's Day Weekend has been awesome!  My son who lives in Colorado sent me roses and chocolates that were delivered yesterday while I was scrapping the day away with my daughter.  I have lots of new gifts and my husband took us out for breakfast this morning and he is now doing chores around the house while I do whatever I want.  Gosh, this is AWESOME!  But I must confess, although this is Mother's Day, I do get this treatment a great deal on weekends that are not specified just for "Mom."

Today, I do reflect on my own mother and my grandmother.  They are no longer with me but they were incredible women.  Strong, independent, and creative.  They are greatly missed but more so today than other days.  I reflect upon their influences within my own life and how they helped mold me into a great mother as well.  For that, I give a big thank you to them.

So, what did I do yesterday?  Played with my May 2011 Main Kit from 3 Scrappy Boys and the Add-On Kit.  Here are just a few I created yesterday.  Keep checking back as more will be added.  Until then, Have a Wonderful Mother's Day weekend and if you are lucky enough to have a mother still in your life...you are more than blessed.  Show her.

So, go take some pictures and create a memory. 

Tell a story or a moment that means so much to you and share it...I do.  

Got My Scrap On...

Yesterday was a rainy and windy day here. So, what is a girl to do but scrap! I used the 3 Scrappy Boys April Add On Kit. I managed to scrap 3 layouts before 10 AM and then spent time with my family for the day. I will show 2 layouts that I created and one layout is for the newsletter. So, if you do not receive the 3 Scrappy Boys Newsletter, head on over and get signed up.
The April Kits are on sale now!

Well, I am heading to work this morning. Still feels weird to say it let alone blog about working.
I am sure I will get into routine, soon!
Have a Great Week

Yes, these are the scraps in card form!

It's no secret I am not much of a card maker. It is hard for me to transition from layout to cards. But these scraps were pretty easy to place on the cards. I stamped a little and well...using all the goodies from the Graphic45 Large Kit at Art Freckles! It was a lot of fun.

Today I will be decorating our Easter tree and preparing the house for the weekend. I plan on having fun at the cyber crop over at Art Freckles this weekend. Maybe I will see you there.

Resolutions Anyone?

That's All

I am SO not a "Resolution" person. But I went to Studio Calico's Blog this morning and was challenged to scrap my "Resolutions." So, keeping in mind that I am a "list" and "goal" setter that I in fact could scrap this and display it where I am reminded daily of my goals for 2009. These goals are obtainable and are specific to just "me." I know I can do this!
