Something creative...

So here's a little sneak peek at the BoBunny Sun Kissed mini album that I will be teaching at Scrapbook Blessings this month. It's a 6"x6" mini album and actually has 25 pages... so you can get a great amount of summer fun pictures in it.

And the Scrapbooking Continues... I LOVE Holiday Weekends

I completed 4 pages yesterday, but I have to say I wasn't terribly motivated. I watched some TV, cooked some food, cleaned a few things. What I didn't do was have a normal 4th of July... we didn't even see any fireworks. We did hear a lot though, our neighborhood is insane with illegal fireworks, it finally stopped at about 11:45pm which was nice for the dog's sake.

We opted out of all normal things this year for a day of complete nothingness... and it was NICE. I was in my scrapbook room pretty much all day and my husband was in front of the TV. We barbequed hamburgers, I made a cheese cake for dessert, but other than that nothing. And it will continue today... I'm setting a goal of 6 pages today. I plan on being a little more motivated. Truth be told the thing that held me up yesterday was the tv. In particular, the tv show The Singing Bee. Have you seen it? It comes on CMT and I love to play/sing along and see just how good I really am. Haha! Definitely not good enough to be on that show, but I enjoy singing.

Happy 5th of July... Scrapbook-on...

Happy 4th of July!!!

Hope everyone's day is great, I know mine will be. I plan on being a scrapbook bum ALL day!! I'm going to finish up my 7gypsies Artist Printers tray. I'm using the new BoBunny Peacock Lane line. I love the beautiful purple, green and teal colors. Enjoy the fireworks!!

Phase 1

Choosing your color and design scheme... it takes a lot more than cutting rectangles. Pictures are next.

Married and back up and running...

WOW it's been almost a month since I last posted anything... well here I go... Happy Memorial Day!! I spent my entire weekend being a bum and cleaning my scrapbook room. It's not complete yet, but looking better and better. I will be scrapbooking by next weekend for sure. But here is a tid bit more of the scraproom...

Letters are all the rage right now aren't they? Found this cool one on clearance... I LOVE it.  I might alter it eventually with some embellishments, but at least for right now it's up on the wall.

5 Days to go...

Only 5 days left until I get married. Man do I have a lot of scrapbooking to get caught up on. This will be short and sweet since I have things to do... but even in wedding planning I can find scrapbook stuff. LOL. This is the neat new ribbon I found today at some random store we were in for wedding knick knacks.

I thought it was so fun I got it in every color they had... just incase.

Scrapbook Room Part II

New cabinets.... YAH!!! How excited I am, cabinets, new counter top, I even got an electrical outlet installed above the counter top so I can plug things in. These cabinets were hand me downs. I happened to be in the right place at the right time. My uncle and aunt were going to rip them out of their garage I happen to be there talking about the ones I saw and wanted to buy and they offered me these for FREE!! Can't beat free!

My handyman installing my cabinets.

The finished product, check out the new electrical socket!

Time flys when you're planning a wedding!!

Wow it's been 6 days since I was on here last... but one more week to go until I am married.  Does it count that I think about adding stuff to my blog all the time (especially at work!!) but have just been too busy with the wedding to come close to it in a few days? I like posting my work online... I am very proud of the things I create, sometimes I even amaze myself at how well things turn out when I am done. I am one of those people that has to fully invision the finished product in my brain before I go forward with a project. Sometimes it happens quickly, sometimes it's contemplated for a while. I find when it is things that I really love, like a new paper line or blank mini album that I am head over heels for that I tend to put a lot more thought into it. I'm too afraid of messing up something I love so much. But man, once I get that clear mental image of what the finished product is going to look like, I'm off and running.
It's rare that I sit down with my products and just start cutting and adhereing here and there, embellish this, embellish that and then I have a finished product. But on the rare occassion that I do, I think these are the times that I amaze myself the most. Probably because there was no clear mental image before I started so the end product is just as big of a suprise to me as it would be to you looking at it for the first time. The following is one of those rare moments. It's a mini album that I created for a gift again. It actually went along with the "Grow" album. Rather this one is for everyday pictures of the new baby.

Here is the cover and a few of the inside pages. It had quite a few pages, so I won't post them all.
