Some Layouts from This Weekend

I still have the journalling to do on these layouts. I am going to do them on the computer and then add them to the pages. My favorite is the top layout. :)

You Have Got To See This!!!

I am totally in love with Bella Stamps. I am an avid reader of Lauren's blog and today she posted the MOST AMAZING Bella card I've EVER seen! Please take the time to read the post along with viewing the card!

Isn't that the best card?? Tell me what you think!

Stampin Links To Love

I volunteered to help Allison with her wonderful Blog Links website. If you've never seen her blog, you need to check it out!

Allison has an abundance of Stampers blogs that she monitors daily for new posts such as Blog Candy, Tutorials, Challenges, Sketches and Favorites. She's created a new blog called Stampin Links to Love where all these wonderful posts are condensed into categories for everyone to view in one place.

I use Google Reader to view all the blogs I love reading. Some people also use Bloglines. Either one works great.

One of the options on my sidebar on the right is my shared items. If I see a post on another blog I want to share with others, I place it there. Check it out.. there's lots of neat topics and beautiful card designs there.

You can always click on the icons in my sidebar to visit the Stampin Links To Love site too!

Just Another Manic Monday...

Today was a crazy day at work. I came home and my daughter was finishing up her Senior Scrapbook that she has to make for her English class. I'm really proud of the job she did. She's gotten very creative.. stamping and all kinds of embellishments on her pages.

It's was supposed to be due today, but the teacher told them today that they have until Friday. Kinda ticks me off cause we busted our butts this weekend gathering all the photos, me editing her essays, etc.

I was able to make a card tonight while Kristina was scrapping. I really like how it turned out!

It's a 5 x5 card..

Cardstock: Choc Chip, Pretty In Pink and Basic Grey Sultr,. Papertrey White
Stamps: SU- A Touch of Nature
Ink: Black Stazon and Ranger Distressing Ink
Access: Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, MM Eyelets, dimensionals and SU Hemp Twine

Thanks for looking!

Where does the week go??

I can't believe it's almost the weekend! I have been so busy this week with family and work, I have had NO time to stamp or do anything!

I thought I'd share a picture of my dear hubby and me dancing at last weekend's wedding. The DJ asked all the married couples to get out on the dance floor and then he started asking how long each couple had been married. Bennie and I were the 4th to the last couple left with almost 21 years of marriage. The grooms grandparents were the winners with 54 years of marriage! It was really kind of neat. My daughter took this picture of us :-)

The picture above is my daughter Kristina and her boyfriend Kevin. I LOVE him in his dress blues... He flew back to California today after being home for a week. It's always so sad to say goodbye to him. Luckily he'll be back in June for Kristina's high school graduation. Then he'll be home sometime in August before he deploys to Iraq in September. I pray everyday that some miracle happens and he won't have to go. I know if he does, I'm going to have lots of cards to send over to him and his unit buddies. I've already told him about the cards for the troops campaign and he will gladly pass them out when I send them to him!

Tomorrow night I have two girlfriends coming over to scrap and stamp. I have got to get Kristina's scrapbook finished by graduation. I'll post some pictures tomorrow night!

Until then... happy stamping and scrapping!
