Nothing but Cardstock!

Happy Tuesday everyone, I created this layout for the So Cal Scrappers November Challenge, I used a 12 x 12 picture from Costco as my base and then from there added the rest, I used cardstock on the chipboard letters as well as for the giraffe design on the side of the page. I also used the best marker in the world - the Galaxy Maker! I am happy with this layout, as i said before I am really enjoying the simpler layouts I have been doing recenlty!

Cruise Pics!!

I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving!! Are you all still worn out from shopping? I decided to stay in and relax, I am still recovering from my cruise, I started relaxing and found it difficult to get back in the swing of things, too many baby free days I suppose. lol Well here are some cruise photos enjoy!

I love K & Co. Wild Saffron Line!!

Can I just tell you that the best kind of scrapbooking paper is the type that inspires you, It is soo much fun to see patterned paper that make you want to dig out all your scrapping supplies and create. Well this adorable line from K & Co. (Wild Saffron) is totally inspiring me to create, design, cut, stick, and crop!!! I love it!! I think after I do a layout I have in mind I will a create a mini book, this paper is screaming CREATE!!!!!!

Back from cruising!

Hi Everyone I am officially back from my cruise, I had a great time with my friend Kathi, and enjoyed the maddening relaxation. Yes maddening, I am not use to relaxing much less relaxing without my children. I thought I was going to lose my mind more than once. I was able to wake up everyday and take a relaxing shower without having someone yelling at me from the other side of the door lol. None the less I am happy to resume my scrap addicted life. I don't think I could have done anything less on my cruise lol.
Well I am off to create!!

Cruising next week!!

I can't believe it has been an entire week since my last post, it feels like just yesterday that it was Halloween, oh well C'est la vie (That's Life)! I have been hard at work preparing for my San Diego Scrapbooking Retreat Weekend in Feb., it is still awhile away but there is a ton to do to make this event ROCK!! I am also trying to get as much as possible done prior to next week, why you ask??? I am going on a 5 day cruise to Mexico, YEAHHHHHHH! I am totally excited, mind you I am also completely anxious about leaving my kids for 5 days, I have not been away from my baby that long. As any mother knows there is a mixture of excitement and anxiety at the thought of getting away for some "ME" time. So I will be taking lots of pics to share with you all, and I think I am going to go scrap, after all I need to create or I will go totally insane. Happy Scrappin'!!
