There She Goes

Good morning! I have some fun and exciting news to share today. Recently I was asked by Jessica at There She Goes clear stamps to be a part of her Trendsetters design team. To say I was elated is an understatement! I am so excited to be working along some fabulous stampers. You can see the official announcement on the TSG blog.

There is lots happening this week including a fun changing of the seasons sale. These prices are good until Friday the 25th. Here are the details for the sale~

Earth Love

I am so in love with this Cosmo Cricket Earth Love collection, although this is the first time I've used it! I keep looking at it and admiring it though. This cute little snail just makes me smile! If you are going to have this collection, the coordinating chipboard is a must have. I also threw in some American Crafts Thickers to finish it off.

And cause I love a good deal...Barb over at Embellish-Online has some amazing specials going on right now. You can get free shipping on orders over $50 (I seriously love free shipping!) and she has started a Frequent Buyer program. You get 1 point for every $5.00 you purchase. When you receive 30 points you'll get $15 off your next purchase.

Stay tuned this week for some exciting news!!

a little of this and a little of that


I finally started getting Jack's 6 year old birthday pics scrapped (he's 8 1/2). I have this need to "catch up" on all the annual events like the first day of school, birthdays, halloween etc. Not sure where it's coming from but I'll go with it! I completed Jordan's kindergarten year now I'm on to these birthday pics of Jack's. I plan to finish those off and try to get caught up on Jack's school pictures.

These are the rest of Jordan's kindergarten pictures. It does feel good to get them done! I also have almost completely used up my Girl Friday collection by Cosmo Cricket.

that's it for today! Have a wonderful day!

love to read


Here I go again with the Cosmo Cricket! This one is Lil' Man (I think!), I paired it up with a bunch of different products. Which I am so proud of because I have been just concentrating on "collections" lately and a lot of my goodies are going unused. I've got Prima, Jenni Bowlin, Sassafrass, American Crafts, Basic Grey and Pink Paislee all accounted for here. Sweet!!
I'm off to Archivers tonight again...here's hoping to completing more than 2 stinkin' pages this time!

Here a a couple more of J's kindergarten pages I finished up. I try not to have to make too many school pages for each year. I fell like these are probably the books they'll want to take with them when they leave home and I don't want then to be too big! I do, however, have 2 maybe 3 more pages to do for this year. I'll have to cut down on the picture taking this year!

I hope you don't get tired of the Girl Friday collection! I have a bit more to do with it and then I'll pack it away! It's just so cute I can't stop using it! :>

a year later....






Here are last years kindergarten pictures finally scrapped! I'm almost done with the res t of the pictures from the year as well. I think I'll try to catch up Jack's school pictures and then go back and get current. We shall see how that all plays out right? :>

I used the super cute Girl Friday collection from Cosmo Cricket. Most of the "back to school" kits are kind boyish for my tastes for this little cutie so I went with this. I'm totally pleased with how it is all coming together. I will be back tomorrow with another school page!
