Actually she was excited to be going back to school, she just doesn't like to smile for the camera lately.

Girls Night Out

Tonight I had a great Girl's Night Out with my daughter! We went to my favorite Scrapbook Store -Scrapper's Playground for Renee's "Definitely Disney Class". Lost a tape runner but we had a great time and the layouts are fantastic. I left them in her car so I will post at a later date.

Naturally I don't want to disappoint you so I do have some other layouts completed from another fun Girl's Night Out. These pictures were taken a while ago at my niece Kimberly's bachelorette party in Atlantic City.

Both Layouts were created with Girls Night Out by InspiredbyDominic Designs and the template I used for both of them is One for the Artist by JewelScraps both available at Scrappity-Doo-Dah

This last layout was created with From Day into Night by JayaPrem's Hangout, Pixiemania Designs, and InspiredbyDominic Designs. Template is by Crystal's Designs also available at Scrappity-Doo-Dah

A little something for Easter

I love anything vintage and have been collecting these images from various websites and blogs. I made this Easter canvas for the mantle over my fireplace and I love how it came out! Every now and then I get away from the computer and get my hands dirty with paints and inks and have a ball doing so! This was a very quick project I painted the canvas with Distress Crackle paint in Mustard Seed when it was dry I inked the edges with Distress Ink in Vintage Photo. I also inked the bottom layer of paper with Distress Ink in Vintage Photo and Antique Linen and punched the edges with a corner punch. The scallops were die cut with the Cricut. I added some flowers and a beautiful piece of lace at the bottom and finished off with stickles.

Spring Fling!

Oh boy I can't believe it has been over a month since I posted! I won't let this happen again that I promise. Finally after a winter with the most amount of snow that I can remember it is SPRING! I love spring the weather is starting to get warmer and my favorite spring flowers are blooming right now. Daffodils and tulips are my favorite spring flowers just in case you were wondering what they were or you want to send me some flowers LOL!

Both of these layouts were created with the gorgeous kit "Spring Fling" by Bekah E Designs and is available at Scrappity-Doo-Dah.

Ooops this one should have been posted for St. Patrick's Day but I was attending a conference for work. I love the string shaped like a shamrock Mom, Dee, Elaine (me), and Lisa April 2004

Love this picture of my Mom and my sisters taken in Vegas. I also like my hair shorter. Pretty soon it will be long enough to donate and then I cut it off!

Art Journal Caravan

This year I decided to participate in the Art Journal Caravan at Scrapbookgraphics. Each week the fabulous Tangie Baxter has a new kit and journaling prompts to inspire your creativity. We are now at week 6 and you guessed it I have only managed to create 3 layouts! Notice I didn't say finish that is because I have decided my Art Journal will be hybrid. I LOVE digital but I also love to stamp, color and add lots of embellishments from my stash and believe me I have one heck of a stash!

I have always been fascinated with art journaling and took a journaling class at Scrapper's Playground with Jessica, she is a talented artist and inspired me to finally take the plunge! Oh and did I mention that Scrapper's Playground is my FAVORITE store. If you are in North Babylon you MUST stop in. This store is filled with the most gorgeous papers, they have just about everything you need for paper crafting and you have to check out the awesome wall of COLOR! If you can you should also take some of the classes offered at the store. Sue has the most talented staff they are so helpful and I can't begin to tell you how much I have learned attending the classes.

Here is the start of my journal I will post more as I complete the pages. Thanks for looking and stopping by

Happy New Year

Welcome 2010!
The start of a new decade. I have some new projects planned and can't wait to share them with all of you. I hope everyone has a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Baby it's cold outside

Oh yes cold it is and believe me when I tell you I am not a fan of this weather. I DON'T like winter not in the least. However I do like this beautiful digital kit Winter's Blush a wonderful collaboration by Veronica Spriggs and Laitha's Designs available at Scrapbookgraphics. You will find the soft pastels and shimmering elements perfect for winter layouts as well as wedding, anniversary or for that special girl. Gina from Peahead Prints was kind enough to let me use photos of her precious Lindsey for this layout just look at those eyes!!! She is just gorgeous

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoyed the day with friends and family. Dom and I had dinner with Paula, Adam, Mary, Tommy, and my nephew Christopher. Everything was as Rachel Ray would say "delish". This is our tradition we have Thanksgiving dinner together every year. Of course some things do change Dominick spent the day with Kristin's family but did come to visit after dinner. Lisa, Brian, and Pilgrim Jamie celebrated with Brian's family. She did mention that Mom bought her a pilgrim outfit but I completely forgot about it you could imagine my surprise when I came home tonight and was greeted by a pilgrim!

I am thankful for many things but most of all for this little girl!

Yay another Creative Team!

I am very happy to be chosen for another creative team and on this team I get to work with not one but two great designers! Jaya from Jaya's Prem Hangout and Tiffany from Inspired by Dominic. One of the requirements to be considered for the creative team was to create a layout with Tiffany and Jaya's designs. I created a whimsical fun layout a bit different from my usual style but I really enjoyed working with papers and elements that challenged my creativity.

Halloween Countdown

I am looking forward to celebrating Halloween next week and have lots to do before the big day. I still have to put the finishing touches on the fall/halloween decorations, and since it is a Saturday this year I am sure I will need plenty of treats for the children in the neighborhood. Shopping for candy is on the "to do" list for this week. What better way to get into the festivities then to scrap a Halloween layout.
