I love my SISters at ScrapinStyleTV!!!!!!!!!!!

I just returned from Tennessee and I had the most fabulous time at SISLIVE09! So much laughter that my sides ache. Everyone was simply splendid and I am so glad that I went this year. Below is a short vid I took on Saturday night when it was very late and most normal people had gone to bed. Enjoy the silly pics, too!

LOVE to all!

It has been so longggggggggggg

You have no idea....it has been so long since I created a scrapbook layout. But no worries because although I have not scrapbooked in a very LONG time I have been very CREATIVE. I have been busy creating......mix-media art pieces. Yep, I have been painting and having a total blast. Here are my first pieces.

This final piece is not complete. Several days ago I created the background but have not yet been inspired to paint an image on it. I will wait until the inspiration HITS ME. I am learning patience along my creative journey. It is a WONDERFUL thing!

Smile or No Smile......

Hello....Hello...Hello.....
I know it has been weeks since I have posted. You know how it goes - life gets in the way of blogging. Soon (very soon) I will have more time to share scrapbooking tips and I plan to make weekly tutorials this summer. I want share what LITTLE bit I have learned over the years and perhaps some of my creative ramblings will be useful to you. In the meantime, I want to share a vid from Youtube that really made me think. Listen and watch and I am sure you will find this inspiring.

Oh and one more thing, here are a few pics of my boys. I love these photographs, even if they were not in the mood to smile.




Big hugs and I'll be back soon.

My baby is 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have so many photographs celebrating my little man's 4th birthday -- and here are just a few. I invited his best buddy over for a birthday play-date and they had a blast. Earlier in the day I visited my son's Pre-K class and served up strawberry shortcake sundaes (sliced strawberries, whip cream and sprinkles) to everyone. After the classroom party, we made a quick run to Target to buy some birthday Hot Wheels. When we got home his buddy stopped by the house for an afternoon of laughs and fun. It was definitely a good day.

Stopped back soon because I will have lots of pages and videos to share this scrappy weekend -- Saturday is NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY!   WOOOHOOO!!!!!

Hugs,

Why I love being a boy mommy

Hey hey hey,

A little late but THIS IS IT --- the REVEAL! I really did have a blast with all the yummy Sassafrass Lass in this month's kit.  TFL!

So the other day my 3 year old son (soon to be 4) asked me, "Mommy, are you a girl?"

"Yes," I responded. Then he looked at me with those big brown eyes and said, "Mommy, I am a boy and boys kiss girls." "Yes," I told him, "boys kiss girls." Then he asked, "Mommy, may I kiss you?" SWOOON!!!!!!!!

That is why I love being a boy mommy. My boys LUB their mommy.

Have a great weekend,

Bad Girls April Kit --Scrapbooking Tutorial -- Shredded Paper Flower

I had a tremendous amount of fun playing with the April Bad Girls Kit. The pattern papers and embellishments in this month's kit are simply delicious and I tried to use them in inventive ways on my layouts. In this tutorial I demonstrate how to make a shredded paper flower using some of the kits American Craft paper. Do not worry if you do not have AC paper -- just use whatever is in your stash. 

After you are done using your shredder to make flower embellishments and destroy old 2008 documents you may want to consider some other uses. Check out some of the possibilities HERE.

Big hugs and smiles to ya,
