I'm home!

It's good to be home (as I missed the girls) but Florida was a ton of fun! Kathrine & I can giggle non stop and at the dumbest things! Thats the best kind of travel partner! =) Our conference had us so busy that we didn't get to do a fourth of what we thought we would. We were in class all day (and some evenings too) so time was limited. Add in a 5+ hour visit to ER for food poisoning and then is was REALLY limited! But all in all, I had a blast! And learned a ton! Can't wait to scrapbook my pictures! Great sunsets! Be on the lookout for the scrapbook pages! Have a great day and happy stamping!

Spooktacular Scrapbook

Just wanted to get this on now that I've sent out my "official" blog site to everyone! This scrapbook in a tin is a class I'll be doing on Wednesday, October 29th in Bemidji. We'll be making this, a pillow box, and card. The cost is $12 or the fee is waived with a $25 StampinUp order. These are great ideas for the upcoming holidays. Let me know if you want to attend as space is limited! I'm a fanatic about little "scrapbooks"...LOVE THEM!

Photo cubes - my favorite!

I love old things! Antiques, old pictures, peeling "distressed" paint, etc. I tried my hand at altering a wooden block with pictures of the girls. I wanted it to look "aged". I think it turned out pretty good for my first time...and I do get lots of compliments on it! All I did was cut my paper & pictures to size & added embellishments. After it was decorated the way I wanted it I put a coat of modge podge over it to protect the paper & elements from dust & finger prints! I had bought the block at a scrapbook store in the cities but I think ANY old block would do! Hope you like it!

Well I've finally done it! I'm blogging! Yah! My downline, Laurie, has a beautiful site she started and she inspired me! Please be patient as I learn how to navigate this stuff. Thankfully, my sister in law is a whiz at blogging so I'm sure I'll be calling her often. (Thanks Tracy!) Between school conferences for the girls this evening and packing for Florida (yippee - I can't wait) I'm going to try to post some stamping & scrapping ideas...so come back and visit soon!
