A couple of cards

I recently rearranged my scraproom to make it more functional . . . and in doing so actually took the time to make a few cards. It was so nice to get my creative juices flowing again . . . it's so easy to lose myself in there. . .





Thanks for stopping by!

My hiatus is over!

After a long time away . . . and a long break from scrapbooking and cardmaking . . I'm finally back! And I'm so excited . . not just because I've missed my crafting, but because my life is finally settling down again. Kids are back in school, weather is nice and crisp, autumn is in the air . . . ahhhh . . life is good (again!).

Stay tuned for some fun things I've done in the last week!

Fun layout . . .

I like this layout, because when you look at it you would never guess what it's about until you read the journaling! My husband took our youngest son out to pull crab pots and asked if he could take the camera and get some pictures. Well . . . against my better judgment I said yes and my camera ended up going OVERBOARD! Luckily he reached over the side of the boat and grabbed it before it sank . . . and I was (thankfully) able to save all the photos of the memory card, but the camera never worked again. These were the last photos taken before the plunge!

Time flies . . .

I can't believe it's been 6 months since I've posted on here - wow!

I have been doing a lot of scrapbooking . . . I think I've done at least 15 layouts in the past 2 months . . which is really good for me! I need to take some photos and get them downloaded to my blog. Making the layouts is the fun part - getting them on here . . . not so much!

The weather has been beautiful and I like to photograph my layouts outside, so I have no excuses! Stop back in a day or two and I'll have some of them uploaded . . . also have a couple (not many) cards that I can post too.

Thanks for stopping by . . . .

And the winner is . . . .

. . . . . #2!!!

Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to post the random generator info on here, but it came up with #2!! Congratulations, Leslie! Please email me with your mailing address so I can get your goodies out to you!

Well, the interview is over and I was told we probably won't know until Monday who was selected . . . so as soon as I know I'll share it on my blog! Sorry you're having to keep your fingers crossed for so long! LOL!!!

Have a great weekend! :-) jeani

Two bird cards and last chance for BLOG CANDY!

Here are a couple of cute little bird cards I made several weeks ago and just got around to photographing and posting (time flies!). This was the first time I actually played with SU's kraft paper - love it! - and my first card using CTMH's new felt shapes - love those little birds!

Point No Point Lighthouse

Just wanted to share this beautiful photo I took the other day. We took a little detour on our way home from my niece's birthday party in Woodinville on Sunday and stopped at Point No Point Lighthouse. Pretty neat, huh?!?!

Friend card using Emporium paper

A simple card I made the other day using CTMH's Emporium Level 2 paper pack. I punched the flower shape out of the side of the 4 piece paper square and then I popped up the flower to add more dimension - a little hard to see in this photo, but I hope you get the idea!




Thanks for looking!

My good consultant blog friend, Trish, just started up her blog Scrapping Playground of Dreams. If you get a chance, hop over there and check it out . . . she's just getting started, but has some great artwork up already! Way to go, Trish!

Jump! card

I made this card with a Close To My Heart stamp set called Jump! I first bought this stamp set back when I became a consultant with CTMH (about 3 years ago) and this is the first time I've used it!!! I thought it was an appropriate theme for this time of year as we are just about ready to pick the apples from our Gravenstein tree!!! Enjoy!
