National Scrapbook Day


Well I went to a Creative Memories National Scrapbooking Day event and after 6 hours I got one page done. LOL! So here it is ... I have just been having a hard time lately coming up with layouts for scrapbooking ... i guess i am still in the card making state of mind. The background paper is from Stampin' Up and i the title is also Stampin' Up. The journaling stamps were done with a set i bought from Hobby Lobby ... can't remember the name. The picture was of Snowflake in the bathroom ... i just thought it would be so cute since the bathroom is pink ... i was right :c)

What is your color?

I love personality tests and so when Claudia posted this i HAD to take it. I think this described me perfectly!

Take this test!
You're green, the color of growth and vigor. Good-hearted and giving, you have a knack for finding and bringing out the best in people. Green is the most down-to-earth color in the spectrum — reliable and trustworthy. People know they can count on you to be around in times of need, since your concern for people is genuine and sincere. You take pride in being a good friend. For you, success is measured in terms of personal achievement and growth, not by status or position. Rare as emeralds, greens are wonderful, natural people. It truly is your color!

Happy Easter!!!

Well, I just came back from Augusta visiting some very close friends and i had a blast. Me and my friend Lee Anna tried to scrapbook and well, when you are 200 miles away from home there will be the one thing that you forget to bring that will help you complete your pages ... mine was white paper ... yes, white paper. And what makes it worse is that Lee Anna did not have any and since i had to keep my scrapbooking stuff "light" the only paper i brought were the ones that i were planning on using. But the weekend was not wasted in me being creative. Lee Anna wanted me to take pictures of the kids at the Easter egg hunt and I will have to say that Elizabeth was cooperating and we had a few beautiful images ... here are my two favorite (both were taken with my Digital Canon SLR rebel)




I will try to work on some of my scrapbooking pages now that I am home and will post the ones that I have completed. I am attending National Scrapbooking Day on Saturday so I will definitely have some pages done there to share. I hope everyone will enjoy their Easter and now I have to get Snowflake's Easter basket together. TTFN!!!

Still alive

Hey y'all! I just wanted to let you all know that I am still alive :c) Easter is right around the corner and well ... I have NOT started on making my Easter stuff. Good thing I only have 5 people on my team to make stuff for. Then I have to get Snowflake's Easter basket together and Snowflake still needs to get Twinkie's Easter basket together. Aghhhhhh! It will get done! I am going to try to make a home made Easter basket out of paper. Here is what it is supposed to look like


But since I am pressed for time, I might just make a trip to Wal-Mart to get the Easter baskets and I'll just make hand-made Easter cards.

This weekend i am going to be going out of town to visit friends of mine and will be scrapbooking so I will definitely take pics of the pages that I create and post them on here! My SU order came in and I am so excited to start using them on my pages ... especially my scallop punch! So come back soon to see what i have done!!! TTFN!

Hey Y'all and Happy Birthday, Jon!!!

Sooo ... it looks like i jumped on the bandwagon and got my own blog. YAY! I finally decided to create one after seeing all the future Martha Stewarts posting their awesome cards and i wanted to share mine. Hopefully i will have my internet hooked up within the next week or so but until then I will either have to sneak a few minutes at work to create new posts or Claudia will be my "co-author" :)

Some of the things I will try to post will be cards that I have made, scrapbooking pages, pictures and other little things that I find interesting. Speaking of pictures, i wanted to post a picture that I took of my baby, Snowflake. She is a West Highland White Terrier, aka Westies, and is very photogenic :) This was taken in Destin Florida after my brother's rugby game and whenever she is paying attention to you she loves to tilt her head so i caught her at a perfect moment. This was taken with a Sony 8.1 Cybershot (your regular old point and shoot camera)


Well I hope you all come back soon to check out what I have been up to! TTFN!!!

Do we love PINK?!

Hi and welcome to Heidi's Blog!



Until Heidi's internet connection is up and running, you might see the occasional post from me for HER!


I thought I'd give the blog a kick start with Heidi's darling creations that she created after reading the blog entries for all the different challenges I participate in. She was so inspired that she came up with 2 cute cards! She hasn't been stamping for all that long. So what she came up with on her own was pretty impressive!


Her first card (which is my personal favorite):











And this is her second card:









Thanks for looking!
