Title Page
Well, I finished what I think will be the title page to my Las Vegas scrapbook. I'm not even sure I like it but honestly, I had a horrible time with the title page. Please be gentle! In the big white
rectangle I will be writing in the date and maybe a few words about why we went. The little center photos are just small pictures of some of the hotels in the area...it was really plain there and needed something. Stamps: Think Big. Cardstock: Buckaroo Blue, Cranberry Crisp, True Thyme, and Whisper White. Ink: same as cardstock. Accessories: Stitched Ribbon, UHU glue roller.
Speaking of UHU. Awhile back I saw a blog where I could sign up to receive samples of UHU products if I wrote a review of it on my blog. Well, today is the day ladies. Here is her blog. I have to say that I really like the UHU glue roller. It is permanent BUT you have a short period of time to reposition if you need too. I also received Scrapbookers Glue Pen. Now that thing is wonderful. It is super fast paper glue. It doesn't wrinkle the paper and dries really quickly. It is in a pen type of applicator and comes out kinda quickly but very evenly. I would suggest you guys try this stuff if you are looking for something new to scrapbook with!
Tomorrow...I will have a stamping project to share with you and a big announcement from Stampin' Up!
Until then...enjoy your Friday!

Dog Gone It!
Okay, so I said I was going to be scrapbooking for the next week or so. I got my Vegas pictures out and proceeded to find my favorite sketch book and I cannot find it anywhere!! I love this book because it gives you sketches based on how many pictures you have for your layout. I'm going to turn this house upside down looking for it today!
The good news? I did sort my pictures out. I put them in piles of which pictures I want together.
It really is the first step for me. I have a total of 55 pictures from Vegas to scrapbook. Now...another problem I had yesterday is whether or not to start a brand new book. I have previously scrapbooked in my CM books but I did by a 12X12 book just for Todd and I pictures. I don't know if I should just keep on in the CM or start a new one. I thought about cutting the metal sides off the CM and putting them into the SU! book but as I look at the pages some of them go all the way out and it just won't work. Opinions anyone? I also have several different kits from scrapjammies I want to use but they are so different that I'm not sure. I guess it doesn't matter as long as they aren't right next to each other. Ahhh...decisions! I know, I know...to only have that to worry about! (Which of course isn't the only worry in my life!)
I should be getting my mailbox in the mail today to decorate so I can't wait to start that too! We'll be doing that one step by step though so get ready!
Have a great Thursday everyone!

Coaster Scrapbook
Good morning all! I said yesterday that I was going to do some scrapbooking over the next
couple of days and that is what I did. I started with the easiest thing first...a little scrapbook of Kyler. I had some really cute
pictures of him from summer last year and wanted to share them
scrapbook for her....just didn't think it would take me this long to get it done! Anyway, I'm with grandma so I thought I'd do a mini pleased with the results (except for one goof on the back) and I think she'll like it a lot! Stamp sets: Some Like It Hot, Shore Thing, Rough Edges Alpha, and Spunky Alphabet. Cardstock: Treehouse Designer Paper, Buckaroo Blue, Marigold
Morning, Whisper White. Ink: Yoyo Yellow, Buckaroo Blue, Real Red, Old Olive, Basic Black, and Summer Sun. Accessories: On
Board Simon Lower Chipboard, Chipboard Coasters, Twill Tape, Sticky Strip, and Modge Podge.
This was so much fun to make and so easy! There are detailed instructions on SCS on how to put the book together so try it yourself! After I show it to a couple of people this week I'll be putting it in the mail in time for Valentine's Day! Hopefully she won't check this blog prior to then, huh?
Today, hopefully, I'll get started on my Vegas book. I've been trying to sort in my mind how it is going to go but it isn't quite there yet. I thought I'd use my Tickets and Tokens Simply Scrappin' kit from SU! but it seems that is a little more for international travel. I don't know...I'll look at it again and see!
Until tomorrow...have a great Wednesday!!!
***Edited to say that I had four pictures of the book on this site and I came later to find that they are all gone. Very strange! I just put one picture back.***

Something Clever?
For some reason I have the hardest time giving my posts a title. I always want something clever but seems I can never think of it!
Here is a card that I made with Like It A Latte' from the winter mini. This is the card that is
CASEd from Kendra's blog (click on her name if you'd like to see the original). Stamps: Like it a Latte' and Love Matters. Cardstock: Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, and So Saffron. Ink: So Saffron, and Chocolate Chip. Accessories: Dimensionals, Stickles Liquid Pearls in White Opal (very similar to Lumiere), Chocolate Chip Marker, Flirty Ribbon, and Grosgrain Ribbon. This is to add to my stash of cards for my lovey stash.
For those of you who know about the weird weather that the West side of Washington has been getting...just a little update. It is snowing again! Todd's classes have been delayed (again) until 10 a.m. I sure hope they don't continue to have bad weather, delay, and cancel school for him as soon it will push back his graduation date.
Anyway, Over the next couple of days I'm going to try and do some scrapbooking. I'd really like to get the photos of the LasVegas trip scrapbooked before I forget the details. I'm also wanting to make a little scrapbook for Kyler's grandma (which would take me no time at all if I'd just do it!) AND I need to upload, print, and then scrapbook Christmas pictures. I know it sounds like a lot but I know once I sit down to do it....I'll be done in a flash! Anyway, I'm telling you this so that you know to be looking for some scrapbook pages over the next few days...something new for this blog!
Have a wonderful Tuesday!

A Day Off
It's a day off of school for the kiddos (and Todd) today! Although you'd think I'd get more stuff done because I don't have to run around as much but for some reason whenever the kids are home...I get nuthin' done! Hopefully I'll get some stamping done anyway!
Yesterday I did two different cards. The one I'm going to post uses a Cuttlebug embossing
folder and a color I don't use much...Cool Caribbean (from the In Color line). Stamps: Sweet on You (winter mini) and the I Love You is from Gina K Designs. Cardstock: Basic Black, Cool Caribbean, and Whisper White. Accessories: Accents & Elements (winter mini), and Cuttlebug. I've been making several "lovey" type of cards recently to build up my stash for a reason to be seen in the future! Just a quick note that if I had not had a Cuttlebug I would have used either the Wild Hearts or On The Spot BG stamp and it still would be a really cute card!
Stay tuned until tomorrow...I've got another cutie to show you that was inspired by my blogging friend, Kendra. You can see her blog by clicking on her name to the right.
Have a great Monday!
