It's Done!

Finished my Thanksgiving mini-album, so here are the photos! Hope you like it, it was really easy and quick! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi there blog readers! Yes, I know, I've been totally out of touch the last couple of weeks. I apologize! But I'm back, and I have a new layout to share. I used my super-cool new Martha Stewart loopy border punch (Michael's) and I love it! I also love the little Doodlebug flower and birdie brads (Treasured Memories). I love a white background, not sure why. Maybe because the colors of the photos really stand out against it.

I just started a 4X6 mini-album that I downloaded from Designer Digitals. It's Cathy Zielske's "Thankful" project. The idea is to give a card to each person at your Thanksgiving celebration, have them write down what they're thankful for and snap a photo to go along with the card. Then you slip the cards and photos into a pre-made 4X6 photo album, add your title page and you're done! I'll post copies of the finished project later this week. Hopefully!

Have a great Thanksgiving and once again, thanks for stopping by to visit with me. I am thankful for all of you who take the time! :)

Well, I'm still alive, and to prove it, I've got new layouts to post. I decided to make an 8.5 X 11 Halloween album, loosely based on Cathy Zielske's album shown on her blog. Just finished this year's layout, so I'm sharing it with you. I will definitely create 12X12 pages for my kids' individual albums, too.

Picked up some gorgeous My Mind's Eye paper at Treasured Memories last week, and I couldn't wait to play with it! I love this photo of Anna and I love how well the paper goes with it.

Hope everyone is enjoying these beautiful fall days. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello there. Here are a couple of new layouts for you. The "Name Game" layout came about when I started taking pictures of any type of sign with Jack's name on it. He loves seeing his name when it's not related to him. I might change the title to "That's My Name!" and use different alpha stickers. Something about the ones I used is not working for me.

The other layout is page "D" from the "Me the Abridged Version" project that I'm working on.

Have a great week, and thanks for stopping by!

I'm Alive!

Happy Friday to you! It's a gorgeous day in New Iberia today - sunny and 65 degrees. And I'm finally posting something new! Sorry to keep you hanging, but as usual, we have been just crazy busy with school, soccer, dancing and life in general. The house hunting is causing me stress, but I think that Gil and I agree on the same house, so that is definitely progress!

I just finished this page about my sweet little Mattie and his dinosaur sandwich. I'm including the sketch for you, too. Hope you enjoy! :)

Have a wonderful weekend! I hope to have a new project to post really soon, so please stop by again!

Here's the new layout I mentioned a couple of days ago! The photo is of Caroline and her friends from New Orleans, most of whom she started Pre-K with. We moved to New Iberia when she was in 2nd grade, and I don't think she'll ever fully forgive me for taking her away from her friends and her school and her life. We got together with several of her St. Clement friends in July, and the smile on her face says it all! We love these girls, we love their parents, we love New Orleans!

Spent the morning house hunting. I found the house that I think is perfect for us, but Gil remains unconvinced. If we buy it, I'll invite all of you over to visit, scrapbook, swim, etc. :)

Enjoy your weekend, and thanks so much for visiting my blog!

Hi There!

Well, dear blog readers, I am sorry for leaving you hanging for the last week. I have been out of my scrapbooking groove!!! I've started a couple of new layouts, then put them aside because I just wasn't feeling them. I'm starting something new in a minute, so I hope that in a couple of days I'll have something worthy of all of you to share!

In May, Anna finished 3rd grade at St. Edward School, which means that she had to move to the upper campus at Catholic High. St. Edward is such a wonderful, loving place - I always say it's like a warm hug - and there was a beautiful closing mass to send off the 3rd graders. As it happens, my sister was a third grade teacher at SES (she's now moved down to Pre-K) and asked me if I could make a banner for the alter. Why, of course I could! Finally, someone recognizes my talent! ;) So anyway, here are a few pictures of the banner. Does anyone recognize the people?? Or the feet cut on a Cricut?? I didn't do the title, just the feet and the people!

Thanks for stopping in and visiting my blog! :) You are all amazing!
