These are the 2 I finished in my book of Torrie on Easter this year. She is getting to be such a big girl!

The page on the left has the pattern 12×12 paper for the background. Then I ran a piece of ribbon across the middle of the page on top of the mat I put center on the page. I then added the 2 pictures. Then just a Cricut cut flower and some foam Easter stickers.  Read more... (138 words, 2 images, estimated 33 secs reading time)

A couple weeks ago I’d get the creeps whenever I entered my scrapbooking space. I knew from experience that something would surely go wrong. Often my tools broke or I couldn’t find them and almost every time I ruin a difficult cat as I try to lift it off the cutting mat.

These are all but little annoyances but they add up and snowball into frustration. And when you’re frustrated you have no chance in hell of getting into “the Zone” and get creative work done.  Read more... (324 words, estimated 1:18 mins reading time)

I tell you this is ending a very long week. I told you about my friend DD well another friend Seva is now in ICU and it doesn’t look good. I am not sure she is going to make it. They said she was having complications from surgery she had on Wed. She is now on life support and things seems to be shutting down inside her body. Very scary stuff. My thoughts and prayer are with her and all of her family. Please everyone that reads this pray with us!  Read more... (200 words, estimated 48 secs reading time)

Well the time is passing by pretty quickly. The crop is in 2 more weeks I hope I feel better by then. I think I have a sinus infection it is just killing me first the headaches, then the stuffiness, and finally the chest congestion. It in a whole it has made it hard to sleep and get enough rest to function that is for sure. I will be glad when I am rid of it. So the news is that The Diva Design is having more vendors than the last crop. I love the vendors if you get there and forget something they usually have it is great. I am looking forward to scrapbooking for hours on the 24th. We have not done much scrapin since everyone is taking turns getting sick these days. I will have plenty of pictures of us at the crop and some of the pages we got done too. So look forward to the up coming blog entries when I get back from the crop. Stay well all. Goodnight.  Read more... (177 words, 1 image, estimated 42 secs reading time)

What miserable day outside today. It is so gloomy. Good thing we had a decent day to take pictures on Sat. It was however very windy and quiet chilly, we had to eat our lunch in the car but still enjoyed the day. This is another picture I took on Sat. on the outing. I really like this one it is very colorful.

Adding embellishments can make the difference in your scrapbook page. The embellishment can be the main item on your page or it can bring attention to the picture on the page.

These scrapbooks are ones that I have made with a friend sometimes we put the pages in together each making a few and some of the scrapbooks she has put one scrapbook together front to back and I have done the other. I really enjoy doing the scrapbooks and would love putting them together  and selling them. I had said before if I could do that it would be my dream job. I have put them out there on the internet in a few places trying to sell them but I haven’t had any luck. I am just not finding the right sources to sell our scrapbooks. BUT I will not give up I am determined to sell them because they are great gifts for people who don’t have the time or the patience to put the together themsevles. I will just keep plugging away at it until something hits. Wish me luck!  Read more... (153 words, 3 images, estimated 37 secs reading time)
