Two new scrapbook layouts - "Dude" and "Picturesque"

Hello! What beautiful weather we're having here in Indiana. Quite a bit chillier than last week, but it's still so great to see all the leaves and flowering trees in all of their glory!

All of the sunshine is inspiring me to share a beach layout from spring break last year. My son was invited to join a family and his classmates in Florida! Lucky! The beach is made of cork. The starfish are from Cricut--Life is a Beach. The wave was cut freehand...I added stickles to the edge to sparkle it up. The pictures are so great of the guys hamming it up for the camera. They crack me up! Ahhhh....Makes me want to go on spring break. What is that anyway? =)

Next is another layout from our New York trip. This church is located downtown Lake Placid. My hubby got some great pictures of it...They were begging to be scrapped. The title font is Cricut--Quarter Note.

I trimmed around the vines on the patterned paper and added to other parts of my page. I also used the bracket border punch.

Here are both sides together. Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Double Christmas scrapbook layout - Chillin

Hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas!!

I saved a few Christmas layouts from last year to share with you today. As I was looking at the pictures, I suddenly realized I hadn't titled one of them. How could I forget a title? I'll have to get back to you later this week with that one.

There were not a lot of spectacular pictures to scrap from the small get together with my parents last year. We were kind of partied out at the time.

Here are closeups of both sides. The snowflakes were cut with my Cricut and stickled with a glittery silver. I believe the patterned paper is BoBunny.



 Here's a closeup of the right side.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Keep checking back...I'll be posting about blog candy to celebrate reaching 10,000 pageviews once I figure out what I'm going to give away. I appreciate all of you!!! There are many SB blogs out there and I'm so happy that you choose to follow mine!

"Sunset at Lil Sable Lighthouse"

Do you have all your wrapping done? I'm going home to finish mine in a few. But before I do that, I just can't help posting one more layout to inspire you and WARM you!!

Here is the left side.

Here is the right side

And of course, here they are together so you can see how they flow.

Have an amazing Christmas and enjoy every special moment!!

Frozen...Ice storm of December, 2008

Good morning! Happy Monday! I enjoyed some great scrapping time with a friend this weekend! As much as I love to spend the whole weekend letting the creative juices flow, it's hard to get all of the normal weekend chores done. So...guess I'm going to the grocery store tonight. :)
This layout is pictures of the big ice storm we had here in Fort Wayne, Indiana in December 2008. I'm starting to pull out more and more pictures from the past to get them into the scrapbook! This ice storm knocked out the power to the area for two and a half days. It was pretty miserable. We stayed in our home with no heat and the temps outside were sub zero!! Needless to say, it was memorable!

I used a border punch to make the tree look a little whimsy. As I look at it now, I think it would have been fun to skip the punch, but use a crimper instead so it would look even more like tree bark. This close up shows the stickles on the branches too.
The metallic letters give it a nice chilly look.
Enjoy and thanks for looking!
