National Scrapbook Day

This week Paper Wings is celebrating National Scrapbook Day all week!! How great is that! Some wonderful members have put together a week of fun for all of us! Everyday we are getting different scrapbooking inspirations and each day we can join in the fun! I set time aside to enjoy the event and above are two of my layouts. Sorry that the picture are not the best...I scanned them because I really did not have time to set up the camera and background. Once I get a chance I will take pictures and update the post! I hope you enjoy the pages!

Playing in the studio.....

Taking time to play and try new techniques has to be my favorite time! Since getting things together after the flood I have not had the chance to enjoy that special time until last week! Last week I was playing with the oil slick technique and tweaking it a bit and this is what I came up with... I hope you enjoy it!


I used acetate instead of glossy paper to do the oil slick technique and I put some of the stamped images below and some above the acetate. I used two cute sets that will be discontinue this season they are; Something's Fishy and Treaser Seekers.

A little note to send some cheer....

This card was a little card I put together to send a cheerful greeting to my cousin Cindy. I wanted to add a little smile to her face, so I colored the little girl to look like Cindy's granddaughter/ I used one of my favorite papers....Miss Moxie and TAC's Dear Friend stamp set.

Pictures!

These are a few pictures from the Grand Canyon and of ... my daughter! I will post more in a few days, I am tired! To me these pictures still seem make believe! The Grand Canyon are so amazing!

Vacation update!

Well, vacation was wonderful....did not want to come home but we got home last night. Ya, it was a bad joke to get off the plane to find weather in the 40's!
The Grand Canyon was awesome and we had a superb time in Arizona! Tonight I will post some pictures...for now it is off to work! Oh, I did get to go to an awesome stamp store!! More later...
