That Smile

I made this page just a few days ago with all of the wonderful smiles of my son! He is such an expressive little boy :) I used My Minds Eye and Bazzill papers for this project. Lots of inking, a few rain dots, stickles and some cricut design studio top it off to make a pretty fun page if you do ask me. Special Thanks to Diane at Capadia Designs for the full page scalloped edge.

How fun is this?

Wow, I'm so excited! Its like Christmas coming to my blog now :) I can't believe that SusanBluerobot and Laurinda actually took the time to come see me, little ole me!! I knew some free stuff would make people look, lol! Just in case you don't know Fiskars is the maker of Cloud 9 Design and Hiedi Grace as well as all of the wonderful fiskars tools. I can't wait to go and get some stuff for you ladies. Last time I went I picked up about $600 worth of retail stuff for only $65. I was amazed when I added it all up. If you live anywhere near Wausau Wisconsin this is definitely worth your trip, even if you have to travel a few hours its worth your trip!!! Thanks for all of you who have taken the time to look :)

*P.S. Laurinda I started working on a project last night for my Sister-in-laws baby shower with one of your cut files. I can't wait to share it with you!

Yes, you heard it right! I'm going to give away some goodies :) I'm not sure what it will be yet as I will be picking it up on the 24th at the fiskars warehouse sale, but you can bet it will be SUPER good :) I will post a picture of the goodies in the evening of the 24.... So here's the deal if you leave a comment or sign my guest book you will recieve one entry. If you become a follower I will enter you a second time. I will use random.org to draw the winner on 9-28-09.

I wish everyone luck and look forward to what you have to say :) Thanks for looking!

Ahhhhhhhhhh! NOOOO!!

**UPDATE** I fixed it so let me know what you think :)

I blew up my blog! Bear with me as I rebuild!

Fourth of July

Every Forth of July our home town hosts a professional rodeo. The parade is always close to 2 hours long with lots of horses, cows and tractors. This was the first year that Ian was old enough to enjoy and understand what was going on. He loved collecting the candy and was mesmorized by this huge bull. We had so much fun at the parade and then the small BBQ afterwards with family and friends, can't wait till next year.

Father Daughter Dance

Well like I said getting my new job encouraged me to update some of my albums and I realized how many wedding photos were never scrapbooked. So this is a photo of my Dad and I dancing to "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carslile. Hence the silver butterflies on the page.
This page was a pretty quick page to make because I used a jollees boutique sticker for the title. I stamped the inkadinkadoo butterfly in versamark and then embossed with silver powder and I'm not sure who the crystals are from behind them, they are an old treasure from my stash. Sorry about the picture quality of this page.

Go shout it from the mountains!!

**UPDATE** I can't believe it!! I'm going to be surrounded by pretty things and get to see the newest stuff in the scrapbook industry as it arrives in the stores. I got a job a one of my local scrapbook stores! Now all of you who live in the area can come visit me at Scrapbook and Stamping Memories in Appleton, WI. They are located on Mall Dr. right next to a chocolate store, how delicious is that? :) You can visit them online at www.scrapbook.net and you can follow them on facebook too.

Stop in and check out all of the new stuff that just came in. Halloween and Christmas are not too far away you could get an early start! Have questions? All of the girls who work there are very helpful and super friendly!

Can't wait to see all of you there :)

A few scrapbook pages

Alright, here we go on to scrapbook pages! The first layout is our family Christmas Trip that we took closer to Easter in 09. We visited the Chula Vista water park and resort in Wisconsin Dells.



We visited the Chula Vista water park and resort in Wisconsin Dells. Ian had a blast at the water park, the little man has no fear of water!

The paper you see is from Cosmo Cricket's snorkel collection. I think Cosmo Cricket has some of my favorite papers on the market right now! I used my Cricut and Design Studio to make the large arrow and then I Cuttle bugged it with the tiny bubbles A2 folder. I also used the mini monograms cartridge for the matting behind "family vacation". All the stickers are from the paper collection pack, I might have blinged up a few though :)

I hope you enjoy! I'll post some more on Sunday...
