Road Trip!

Not sure how many of you know this, but I'm on a retreat this weekend. (Surprise, Surprise)!  Well, I was bored with the pictures I had so I decided to make a mini album.  I have seen and read about these toilet paper roll minis, so I decided to give it a whirl.  I decided to use my Basic Grey Wander collection.
Hopefully, Jim and I will be taking a road trip soon to Savannah.  I made this album in anticipation of our trip.  Whaddya think?

Enjoy!

His Dog

So, I was looking through my pics when I got Sweet Peach's June kit and this picture popped out at me.  I thought the colors matched perfectly.  I love this picture of Anthony and Queso, one of our pugs.  Anthony looks so young and cute (now he's a gangly, almost 15 year old).  The Basic Grey Lauderdale paper is so colorful and summery.  I used the SPCS June sketch, and the result is this simple but adorable layout.

Enjoy!

Some old, Some new

Hi guys!  I don't know about you, but I am SO excited that school is out.  Now we can enjoy life at a slower pace for a few months.  I love the summer.  I would love it even more if it stayed below 90 degrees here in hotlanta, but we can't have it all, I guess!
One of my main goals for the summer (and beyond) is to scrapbook on a very regular basis.  Those of you who know me are saying to themselves, "Duh, you already do that!"  Well, I mean like DAILY! 
Scrapbooking is my passion, my outlet, a way to express myself creatively, my vehicle to spending oodles of time with great friends, and oh yeah, important for documenting the big and little moments of my family's life.  Anyway, here are some old and new pages.  More coming tomorrow!
Enjoy!

Yikes, another Sweet Peach.  I love their Kits.  Can you tell?  I also love these girls. :)

This one has some paper from Sweet Peach also.  My cute granny with her headphones for the TV.  She was pretty deaf near the end.  I miss her.

Basic Grey's Life of the Party.  Perfect for Anthony's 14th birthday, don't you think?

Not the greatest layout, but I love the pic and the story :)

Love this one!  This is really what they do nearly every day of the school year (weather willing).

Another Sweet Peach Kit :)  Wasn't she an adorable ampire?

Another page from Sweet Peach April Kit.

I just love how many pages I can do with my Sweet Peach Kits!  I am having so much fun making them stretch as long as possible.

New Kit Club!

Ok, so I joined a new kit club (still love my Sweet Peach kits).  It's called Scrapbooking from the Inside Out.  April's theme is Resilience.  Here are some pages I did today with my kit.  Enjoy!

Spring

Every Spring, my daffodils remind me of Granny.  We shopped for and planted them together.

Here they are...

This is for my beautiful niece Savannah...really excited about this one...

This is for our recent Florida trip

This is for Anthony and his good friend Tyrese

New Minis!

Hey guys!  I went to a retreat last weekend and did some super fun minis.  I'll give you a sneak peek now.  I gotta get the pictures printed for them, then I'll post the whole albums.  I've been scrapping like crazy!

My Ancestors

Yes, they really were as miserable as they look.  Most of them, anyway.

I used scraps - Yayyyyy me!

I love my little Tosha.  He's such a piggy!

CHA Summer 2010

Had such a great time at CHA last summer!  Wish I could go again this summer...

I'm off retreating again! Looking forward to a weekend of scrapping, laughing and fun!

Great times, great friends!

Anthony's Favorite Day of the Year

Anthony's favorite day is the day after Halloween - a full day of gorging on candy to
his heart's content.  After that, mean mommy rations it.

Laura and Ander - so sweet

Ok, so the "c" fell of my page from the middle of my title.  But love, love, love these girls

Sweet Peach Crop Shop April Sweet Kit - Laura and Terry Mini Album

The cover - LOVE these new Thickers - they are awesome!

Laura and Terry have been friends for over 3 years - they are two peas in a pod

I was inspired by my friend Robin to make a hidden photo spot with a magnet and embellishment

Surprise!

I love this page - the paper, the ribbons : heavenly!

They took this with webcam.  Said it was a typical representation of them having a conversation

Love these yarn flowers - they rock!

The secret handshake
