Card for my nephew's 3rd birthday

This is a card for my nephew's 3rd birthday. I can't believe he's 3 already and by the end of the month he's going to have a baby sister. :) I just love the new Jillibean paper lines. That's where this kraft patterned paper came from. I thought the line with all the numbers would be fitting for various birthday cards.

I don't know why but the scanner gave me fits on this card. Even though I set it to just scan the card, it still scanned as an 8.5 x 11.

Time for a Mia layout

I love this picture of Mia. She is so photogenic.

Finally some layouts to post

I finally have some layouts that I'm really pleased with how they turned out. I just wish I could get good scans or pics of them. They always look so much better in the albums than when I post on here.

I'm just posting one for now, this is a layout of our oldest cat, Mitzi. She was being curious snooping around my scrap supplies, although you can't tell that from the pic.

Getting Excited for the new kinda lss to open

We've been without an lss for far too long. I just happened to stumble on a post on Facebook a couple weeks ago that the former lss owner was starting a new store. However, this one will not only be for scrapbooking, but also quilting and jewelry making. I know it won't be the same as the previous store, but I'm so grateful to have someplace to go shopping locally again. I've really missed her and her great little store, not to mention the companionship of other scrappers that understand the obsession.

Just had to post because I'm so excited and can't wait for it to open. Not sure exactly when that is, but it should be sometime this month. And with all the new goodies from CHA starting to ship, it should be awesome.....

A different layout style for me....Sunrise

So this layout feels so different from my norm, but this is how it all fell together.

Scrapped an old photo

This picture was taken in July 2003. This was my pre-digital camera days, can you tell? These older pics sure are hard to scrap compared to my newer, digital ones. This is also when Mitzi was still the only kitty in the house. My, how things have changed.
