so this is the layout that i started using the star-diecut paper. the scraps that came from this went into the card i posted yesterday … with some scraps from another layout that is still needing to be finished.   i wanted to use the star die-cut paper as part of a challenge that nichol…

so i'm going to do this a little backwards. after i complete a layout … i love to make up a quick card or two using the scraps i have leftover. i figure it's all out and coordinated … so why not use bit and pieces to make something else while it's all out.   …

so one of the things we decided to do on my day off last week was to go golfing. not miniature golfing … but real golfing. my dad actually gave me the idea … i just wasn’t coming up with anything that the girls were interested in. he told me about this 9-hole golf course…

just a quick layout that i did the other day. i had this photo of alyssa and haley from a few weeks ago and thought it was so cute. this is some really old product. the dot pattern paper, the transparency butterfly, and the chipboard circle die-cuts (title and quote) are all from my mind’s…

the incredibly talented nichol posted a challenge on her blog last week. the challenge was to use white ink and raw chipboard on a layout. i’m still learning about stamping … so i didn’t get too crazy. this is actually the first time i’ve ever used white ink. i have wanted to scrap these photos…

ok, so she got her new room almost a year ago (her 8th birthday present) … but i am just now creating a layout about it. lol! i love the way this layout turned out … so colorful even with the black. and that’s just how her bedroom is. i love how colors just seem…

ready for another one? i printed out these photos from the girls first day of school last july. well, the first day of school was last july … i printed these photos this week. lol! i had an idea for this when i started … and i'm really surprised at how quickly it all came…

ok, so she’s not a ballerina … and has never ever taken a single dance class. but when i made this tutu about a year and a half ago … she was all over it! i’ve always loved these pictures of her … so i finally decided to scrap them. i used all making memories…

i cannot tell you how relieved i was today … when i actually scrapped! i got so caught up in organizing and photo editing and a bunch of other stuff. that for the past month i havn’t scrapped hardly at all. i’ve done some layouts for assignments. and those 4 super simple ones last week.…

i seem to have nothing creative to share lately … at least when it comes to layouts. so i thought i’d share an older layout i had in the october 2007 issue of scrapbooks etc. i don’t think i ever shared it here … so here you go. this was my first ever assignment. it…
