Super women!!

No, not me. I buried my cape long ago when I found out I just couldn’t be Super Woman! However, I was blog browsing and I really think two women are. Here Beate is gone to Germany and the girl is blogging. Amazing and has gorgeous artwork posted. She just puts me to shame. Then you have my friend Heather Summers, and she is just a super woman because she is a super demonstrator and she just had a baby. I am always amazed at the way women can be the best time managers EVER. I wish these two ladies would hold a class. I would be first in line to take it. You can check out both their blogs! On the right side of my blog is the link. They really are SUPER WOMEN!

Anyways, I held a scrap class tonight and as always enjoyed it. Oh what fun scrappin’ is. Love teaching it!! Here is a peek of the layouts.

I used the new stamp set Pick a Petal and the new Hostess set In the Spotlight. Both are FANTASTIC stamp sets to scrapbook with. Pick a Petal has sooooooooo many great ways to scrap with. Love it. This layout I used a color combo that I really like. Bashful Blue, Real Red, a splash of Basic Black and Kraft cardstock. I love these colors because they are so neutral. Anything goes really. This layout has a lot of elements and a lot of chipboard but was a really fun layout to put together. I still need to find a spot to do a little more journaling. Remember a few months back when my head was hangin’ low and I couldn’t snap outta the funk? Well, my husband took me to this beautiful place called Garden of the Gods and I felt so much better after seeing this gorgeous place. Really magical but NOT Disney magical. Anyways, I love the pic of me on the rock. It kind of symbolizes the day I got my head outta my butt and got movin’ with life in general. It was a good day.

Speaking of good days, I hope yours was. This week has literally flown by. I have another layout to share tomorrow. I hope you will come back to visit. My lonely rubbah is still sitting uninked. Kinda sad, but I will get to it.

Dreams and Goals

Howdy, howdy!! Another month is flying by so fast. It is almost mid month! Yikes! I have been busy stamping scrapbook pages and will share in the morning when my lighting is at it’s best. I have all my new rubbah just screaming for attention. I am planning a BIG new rubbah fest this weekend. Just me and the new rubbah are going to have a little meeting! After I had seen the sneek peek of the newer products from the demonstrator magazine Stampin’ Success… I almost fainted. Really! Talk about excitment! Jumping for joy excitement. My kids thought I had gone off the deep end. It is crazy that a few new products like the ones I had seen could just make you giddy. I know this new catalog is going to be fantastic. I thought last years was AMAZING! This one is going to blow our minds!!!!

I have very exciting news this week! I am so excited to announce that I will be cruising to BERMUDA on behalf of Stampin’ Up! This was a HUGE accomplishment after many, many obstacles that stood in my way. If you remember way back in January while I was in the midst of a move, my dad had his heart surgery and then the travels to our new home and then of course it spiraled from there once I got here. I wanted to share this with you because I do believe DREAMS and goals do come true if you work hard to achieve them. My business has grown here in Colorado Springs and it is so exciting. The greatest thing about this great thing we call STAMPING is the friendships we make along the way. I have made friends all over the US just stamping and scrapbooking. Each of these people have touched my life in some sort of way and will always be remembered. While all this is happening, touching lives, sharing what I love to do… a big bonus happened along the way. I want to scream out on my back deck… “I DID IT!!!” Thanks for listening to me ramble. I am teaching one of my favorite classes tomorrow night. SCRAPBOOKING! Truly, my element. I know it will be a GREAT time. I will share the layouts in the morning. By the weekend, lets pray that new rubbah has seen the ink!!

Smooches!

My Everything!

I started with Kraft. I know, again! I matted the photo on Basic Black. I placed a piece of twill underneath the photo and stapled it on. I took the hearts from Happy Hearts and stamped them in Buckaroo Blue onto Brocade Blue. I cut them all out and placed them next to the twill using dimensionals. I love our dimensionals. I added black brads around the hearts! Then I stamped "my everything" in Basic Black using my ulitmate fav stamp set Big Deal. I added a little faux stitiching on the right side of the pic. Lastly, I journaled about why I think he is my everything!!

Funky and Babble!

I just finished a fun layout of my sweetheart. I will post tomorrow as the light in my favorite place is not so great at midnight! I feel so good. I feel this way because I just scrap’d a great pic of Russ and I. Then when I journaled it just made me fall more in love with him.

So, i was blog hoppin’ and one that I just adore is Elsie Flannigans blog. Check on the right side and you will see the link to it. If you like fresh and funky and carefree scrappin’, then check out her stuff. Her photography is amazing. Love that she is carefree. Hmm.. i have a ways to go, but i do feel a little like that this week. Just going with the flow, loving life, and loving who I am! This doesn’t happen every week. Ha ha ha ha! Last week, not so much! Stress— this week… who cares! WOW, I feel really good! *wink* It could be the dancin’ crazy in my favorite room with my ipod on full blast. I love that thing! That is being carefree. Dancin’ around like you are *it*! However, it is hard to journal when you are getting your groove on with the ipod going full blast.

I did finish up my tween book that I am teaching on Sunday. it just needed a few tweeks. Oh this little book makes me giggle. I am sure they will enjoy. It brings back great memories for me. I can’t wait for them to see the book and ask me about some of my music artists I wrote down. I am afraid to hear, " who is that???" Sunday I may blog telling you I am not feeling so carefree, instead I am feeling WAY OLD! It’s all good! Right?

Okay, nothing but babble tonight. Will post that layout in the mornin’! I think you might like. It’s simple dimple!!!
