Happy Camper - Layout and Card

Jillibean Soup has a fun new line out, Happy Camper Soup! I got to play with this new line and it is so much fun! I can't wait to take more pictures Up North this Summer so that I can use this line more and more! Wait until you see the cute little foxes, you will be hooked! Check out some of my projects....

Sweet Treat
I love the gray woodgrain pattern and those arrows are to die for. I have to mention the Pea Pod Parts, the are super cute!! 

take a closer look...
The cutest little tree, from the Pea Pod Parts..... i love it!

I cut the marshmallow sticks from the Bite Size Bits page and popped them up with a little foam adhesive. I went today and stocked up on more foam adhesive. Bought 5 packs, wonder how long they will last...

Happy Trails card
Check out that super cute camper, there are a bunch of them in the Pea Pod Parts package along with a few really cute vehicles! Super adorable! 

the details...
Had to add some Alphabeans to this card, love all of the fonts and colors they come in. I use them quite a bit, I'm running out of the Red ones. 

Are you in love with this line yet? This line is going to make scrapping your summer photos a little more fun! I promise.

Oh yeah, I wanted to share one more thing. I finally booked my plane ticket to Utah, this is for real now! I am so nervous and excited all at the same time. I will be teaching at a retreat and although I have been teaching classes for quite a few years this is teaching on another level, larger groups and time constraints. If you have any tips or advice to share please do, I would appreciate it! 

Thanks for stopping by....

19 Days Ago...

That is the last time I updated here. Doesn't seem like that long ago...

Hey! I have some stuff to share!!! Not just me rambling on about random stuff this time...

We have been using stamps over at Bella Blvd this week. They have teamed up with Hampton Arts to manufacture their stamps, and I have to say change is good. I really like the quality of the stamps and how easily I am able to get good clean images from them. I may be a little challenged in the stamping department, maybe. Here are a few of the projects I created with the newest stamps...

Congratulations
For this card I used both papers and stamps from the Love And Marriage Line. Both the dress and the diamond ring are stamped images. See how nice and clean they look?! I stamped the dress twice so that I could add a little color, both the pink waist line and the flower are cut out from another stamped image and layered on. 

take a closer look...
ohh, I get all giddy when I get to make pretty things! 

Best Wishes
Again I used the Love And Marriage collection here. All of the stamping is on the tag, both the sentiment and the diamond ring. I have a feeling I will be using that ring stamp quite a bit. I like the little extra touch it adds to wedding-ish projects.

a little bit closer...
such a fun paper line to use! 


So, what else have I been up to.... boat rides, weddings, dining out, working, cleaning, planning a band banquet, attending a banquet, got a hair cut, paid some bills, ate some Taki's for lunch, got a delivery from UPS.....

What I still need to do.... clean the house, do some laundry, go to the Chiropractor, get some DT assignments done, book a plane ticket, grocery shop..... 

It never ends.....

Happy Memorial Day weekend!

Happy National Scrapbook Day!!

What a fun holiday for us scrapbookers! Not that I need a designated day to scrapbook, but a little recognition... why not!

As I said earlier in the week I would be sharing my Bella Blvd layout here and a little bit about me, so first the layout...

I Am Not A Girly Girl
Lots of pink and grey here, with a splash of colors. 

a closer peek..


and the about me portion of the post... Inspired by the title of my layout.

I am not a girly girl..

I like the color pink, but at my house they get suspicious if I buy or wear anything pink. They get scared, I think. It acutally took me a long time to be comfortable wearing the pink. My colors of choice are usually black, blue or grey.

I love to laugh and make people laugh. I save up all of my work stories to tell at my crops and classes. I can honestly say there have been tears in my classes, tears of laughter.

Some of my favorite tv watching is...
Scandal
The Following
Grey's Anatomy
Tosh.0
Hawaii 5-0
Real Housewives of New Jersey
Glee
Southland

Actors/Musicians-
Jon Bon Jovi
Mark Wahlberg
i don't even need to explain...

Movies I could watch over and over again-
Stepbrothers
Zack and Miri
Christmas Vacation
Superstar

On my Ipod
Flo Rida
Bon Jovi
Pink
Justin Timberlake
Train
White Zombie
Lonely Island
Elvis
Reo Speedwagon
and the list goes on and on

I am addicted to-
Instagram
Candy Crush

I drink- 
Pepsi, it tastes better from the can.
Propel Water, Berry is my favorite.
Milk, because it goes well with cookies and brownies.
Cranberry Juice, because it's good for me.
Margarita's, occasionally.

My favorite food-
Mexican - It is always my first choice when we go out to eat. My family does not always agree.

I have-
20 questions for the Amish


Ok, now that you know me better I hope you will continue to stop by!!

Randomness

Sharing a couple of peeks today...

4th of July coin envelope album

I have a few extra kits made of these mini albums. I used coin envelopes for the album portion of the album. They are about 3X6. Lots of red white and blue here! If you are interested in purchasing a kit, leave your info in the comments.

National Scrapbook Day is coming soon!! 
I am sharing a sneak peek of a layout that I made for the Bella Blvd blog. You will be able to see it over there this Saturday. What are your plans for National Scrapbook Day? I will be at an all day crop!

One Picture...


One Boy
One Camera
One trip to NYC

I was going thru all of the pictures my son took during his trip to NYC. He took nearly 1000 pictures (proud mom moment) because that is what I asked him to bring back for me. I don't need souvenirs or trinkets. I just wanted to make sure he had pictures to remember this, he thought they were for me but they are actually for him. He took some really great shots and I think they might show up in some pages in the future :)
