The New York Scrapbook
Finally started my scrapbook for my New York, Arizona and California pics. New York was a business trip, so I had a limited window to take photos…but boy did I snap away.

It's been a month…lots to report

Had a great July 4th weekend and I was a Scrapping Fool
Hung out with neighbors and shot off fireworks. I was a scrapping fool this weekend, catching up on my CKU photos from last year! Drop me a line and tell me what you think of my scrapbook marathon.
My creative projects for this weekend.
Two cards with one Stamp set. The Office Accoutrement Set from Stampin’ Up. I used Purely Pomengrante, Wild Wasabi, More Mustard Ink Pads and Paper, along with Kraft Paper and Chocolate Chip Ink. Along with the Stampin’ Up Spiral punch and adding a few embellishments to the cards and voila!

This project was sent to my Mom for Mother’s Day and features photos of my Grandmother when she was a young girl. She passed away in 1998. I loved this project so much, I ordered [...]
