Liberty Tree Tavern

So, back to Disney, lol. I actually was thinking that I might try to concentrate on getting my Disney album done. It has been almost 2 years since we went and I would really like to finish it, so be on the lookout for lots of Disney I guess!

I used my Cricut Gypsy on this one! I was able to weld the Gypsy Font (which I love!) and have everything on my mat and cut all at one time. I was able to put my papers and set up my mat exactly how it was on my Gypsy screen! Such a time saver!


Products used: Dreamstreet papers, Cricut Mickey Font, Gypsy Font and Storybook cartridges, Jenni Bowlin stickers, buttons

Carnival Showgirl

Back to a few cruise pictures.... As we were walking out of the dining room one night, there was a showgirl at the exit taking pictures with everyone, so we mugged it up for the camera one more time, lol. Taylor had already ditched us for the new friends that she had already made, so no pic with her.

This is my first time using feathers on a layout. Connie uses feathers all of the time and I love the look of it! Just another texture that add so much to her pages without taking away from the pictures! I can totally see myself using feathers again!


Products used: Basic Grey paper, Prima paper, Rusty Pickle chipboard, glitter, Prima pearls, Tim Holtz alcohol ink, feathers, Cricut Jubilee cartridge (for the title)

Project 365 - Weeks 39-44

Ok, back on track with Project 365 layouts..... I am now up to date through the end of October!!! YAY! I have loved many things about this project, but I have to be honest, I will be glad when it is over. It is a great way to document your everyday goings on, but when you don't have a lot going on, sometimes it is a bit difficult to come up with a picture. Maybe I just live a boring life, lol. I am glad that I am doing the project because I think it will be supercool to look back on years from now, but wow, will I be happy when it is over with!!! I won't be doing it next year for sure, but don't count me out on doing it in the future.

One thing that this project has done is help me use up TONS of my leftovers. All of my pages have been done with leftovers stickers and such and nothing but SCRAPS. My entire scraps pile has dwindled down to hardly NOTHING!!! how great is that! I have cleared out so much stuff and did something useful with it! Not only have I cleared out scraps and stuff like that, but I used an entire KI Memories stack!!! I have 3 sheets left! Another great feeling to finish off a complete paper stack!

Formal Night

So this picture was taken on the Cruise right before we went to dinner on our Formal Night. We were all sunburnt from lounging around the pool all day long, lol.

Just a personal note: please keep my little brother in your thoughts today. He is having a heart procedure done this morning since there is some blockage in one of his chambers. He is my little brother and only 32. Thanks.


Products used: Bazzill cardstock, pattern paper that is about 10 years old (seriously!), Heidi Swapp Invisibles chipboard, Glimmer Mists, Prima flowers and bling, Queen and Co. felt, May Arts Ribbons, Making Memories letter stickers

Beware of Pirates

While shopping in Cozumel we came across this pirate. He was completely GOLD, even his skin. His eyes were crystal blue, not sure if they were contacts or not (I am guessing they were) but man, did it look a bit weird!!! The girls hopped up on his box for a picture!


Products used: Basic Grey paper, Hambly overlay, Rusty Pickly chipboard, ink pots, Karen Foster embellishments, beads, May Arts ribbon, Creative Imagintions brads, Heidi Swapp ghost frame

Halloween 2009

I thought I would post a few pictures from Halloween night for everyone. Every year we go to my brother-in-laws house for a big Halloween party and it is always so much fun. He cooks a big gumbo for everyone and the kids (and adults) dress up and just have a good time. This year was a gothic/vampire theme and here is what we all looked like....
