Update!

WOW! I cant believe it has been a month since I updated my blog...well yes I can. Time seems to be extremely busy! Between my 4 part-time jobs and being a full time mommy I don't seem to have much time to be on the computer.
CTMH Update:
I am so excited that God is truly blessing my little scrap business as my club year has exploded and I have at least two if not three workshops a month!
Swimming:
I am on a current break from teaching swim lessons, but find myself subbing more than being off...hmmm...looking forward to continuing to teach. I love the kids and really love to watch the light bulb go on as they learn to swim. :)
School:
I am down to just 2 days a week for 4 1/2 hours a day so it isn't that bad and the kids are so fun and I really enjoy it.
Time for bed and praying Maggi sleeps tonight!

NSD Retreat!

Wow! We had so much fun...note the time in the following photo...we scrapped till 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning. Look for mre details later!

Blog Hop!

Welcome to our Close to my Heart Summer 2009 Idea Book Blog Hop! Over 40 Close to my Heart Consultants are celebrating the upcoming release of the Summer 2009 Idea Book by sharing their amazing creations using new products via their blogs. If you have come here from Dawn's blog, you are on the right path!

This is simple do to- just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!

I was "tickled pink" when I received the National Scrapbook Month Campaign and knew I had just the pictures. Using the templates found in the kit I was able to create 4 stunning pages that really capture the moments that I will cherish for a lifetime. I not only was able to begin my All About Me album, but the second layout helped me really capture the birth of our second child, Maggi.


I love these colors for her baby pages, but these papers are timeless and the stamp set is one I will use over and over again. You can see in a past post that I used the stamp set to create a card for a good friend of mine.


Technique: I was able to use the die-cuts in the create these beautiful 3D paper embellishments as well as second generation stamping on my title, "so happy". I used the foam tool found in the kit to add a little ink to the sides of my title as well to help it really stand out.

Materials: Tickled Pink Kit; Ink Colors:Blush, Crystal Blue, and Black; White Daisy Mini-Melodies Accent Kit

Just a few notes...

Tomorrow begins an insane week! From sub-ing, my "sister's" wedding, and scrapbooking I will have little time for much else.

I am sure everyone is loving this warm weather. We finally got to have a pictures taken by Ami and Alison Photography yesterday...long sleeves and 80 degree weather don't really mix, but they assured me we would have some good pics. Should have a few to post in the next week or two. Tonight we also got to enjoy time with some good friends for dinner and playing in the backyard with the kids.

I thought since I had been posting mainly scrapbook pages I would showcase these simple cards. Just a little cardstock and the "Life's a Jungle" Stamp set will put a smile on anyone's face.


Materials: Olive Cardstock and Ink, Black Ink, and a cardbase.










Materials: Goldrush Cardstock and Ink, Black Ink, and a cardbase.

Inside of card reads: You're the best!















Materials: Indian Corn Blue Cardstock and Ink, Black Ink, Olive Ink, Spot on backgrounds Stamp set and a cardbase.

So Happy!

The new Tickled Pink Stamp Set and the May 2009 SOTM will add flare to any card or scrapbook page! Use these great looking ladies to brighten a friends day and the Tickled Pink Stamp Set to create cards, scrapbook pages, and much more!

Materials: Colonial White Cardstock, Tickled Pink Stampset, May SOTM, Crystal Blue Ink, Outdoor Denium Ink, and Hollyhock Ink.
