I'm scrapbooking!

I have just not been feeling very creative in a while and I was getting a little depressed and disappointed in myself. I got to thinking about when I was scrapbooking and my pages were pretty good! At least I thought so! Anyway, I needed to boost my ego a bit so I started flipping through my albums and I decided that maybe if I scrapped, I would get inspired. Now, I haven't scrapped in for-ev-ah! (At least 3 years! OMG!!) I decided this weekend I was going to do it. I had 3 (almost brand new) Creative Memories album coverlets to fill (plus 1 black one with a picture thing on the cover I bought to put my wedding pics in) and since CM finally changed their albums to a true 12 x 12, I needed to figure out how many packs of pages I was going to have to buy before they retired them. Well, I just wanted to scrap! So, I put 3 of my old albums into the new ones and I am saving the old ones in case I need to re-arrange the other 3 old ones I have. Problem solved. Now, I don't have to buy any more "old" pages and I can use the ones I have to finally do my Wedding Album! I started it yesterday and I am so excited because I am almost finished! It might take me the rest of the week though because I do have to work! Ugh! It is going fairly smooth because I am sticking with a theme. The hardest part is picking the pictures! Actually, the hardest part is looking at these 16 year old pictures and realizing I don't look the same!! I will post pictures soon!! Here's a sneak peak - our "unconventional Wedding" Portrait! Thanks for listening!

Baby Boy Card!

I think that I made a pretty good baby card considering I am seriously lacking baby/kids stamps! I started with a Bashful Blue base and added So Saffron, Delicate Dots DSP from SAB and Summer Picnic DSP, and of course the So Saffron Grosgrain ribbon from SAB. I used my Big Shot and the Scallop Circles #2 die. I used my Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery markers to stamp the cute little sailboat from "Life's a Breeze" on Whisper White CS and stamped it again and cut the boat and sail out and popped those puppies right up using my dimensionals! The sentiment is from the "Best Yet" hostess set (retired). I think its adorable, if I do say so myself! I made it for my neighbor (and newly addicted stamper) for her baby shower. I hope she liked it! I must say, that I am so proud of her! She made her shower treats based on the project we did in our March class! They were adorable! I would share a picture but it was chocolate and it didn't last long enough to photograph! TFL!!

Tres Chic! MOJO85!

I managed to finish this week's MOJO 85. I skipped a couple of weeks, so it feels good to have finally completed something! I thinks its very pretty and feminine. What do you think?

I started with Kraft CS as a base and mounted Parisian Breeze DSP on top. I love it! I used Baja Breeze CS for the backgorund and Whisper White CS for the images. Using my Chocolate Chip marker and my blender pen with Baja Breeze CSP to "ink" my images so I would have the two colors. I used the Friends 24-7 stamp set from the Spring -Summer 09 IBC and the Great Friend Set from the Mini Occassions catalog. I finished off my card with Baja Breeze satin ribbon from Ribbon Originals-Valet. Tres Chic, oui!! Thanks for looking!
