Scrapping the Music

Scrapping the Music

Come join us for this challenge.  You have until January 28th to link your creation here.

"Daddy and Grammy brought you to school on the 1st day of kindergarten.  I was so excited to see how happy and confident you were when I arrived to pick up my class. We will always "stand by you" through life to help you and lead and direct you."

"When I thought about the song it made me think about my son's 1st day of kindergarten this year. Even though he was excited and ready... he still needed us to stand by him and hold his hand until it was time to go down the hallway with his teacher. He did so well, no tears, wanted to go back and still loves it!"


I think we all need someone to stand by us throughout our lives!

Scrap That Poetry- New Year challenge

Challenge #33

New Year

Come join me at Scrap That Poetry's challenge, New Year!  See the poem here.

There are lots of great words and lines in the poem to give you some fabulous inspiration...

I chose "White Year" since so far 2011 has been a white year for us in PA.  We have had a snowstorm every week so far this year... the kids are loving it! 
Hope you find time to come play along with us!

Happy Birthday Becky

Yesterday was my best friend's birthday.  Here is the card that I made for her.

January just feels like a blue type of month which was my inspiration.  I used Marina Mist, Night of Navy and Whisper White.

We are currently snowed in at the cabin and loving it!

Hope you are enjoying your day!

Card club

I have my monthly card club meeting today at the new location of Scrapbooking's Inn.
Send me an email if you would like to join our monthly club or just come take the class!

So excited for class today!  I used a lot of the new products out of the new Occasions Mini catalog. 
Thanks for stopping by!

Sketchy Thursday

I am so excited that I had a snow day yesterday and had some time to play along with one of my favorite challenge blogs, Sketchy Thursday!  Here is my take on their sketch this week....

Journaling reads "Bryce's "Who am I? activity in kindergarten"

At the beginning of the year, we take pictures of the kids wearing their glasses or silly masks and then without, they then practice their high frequency words by writing the page for the book...

"Who am I?"

"I am Bryce."

I love his picture and knew I had to scrapbook it...

Hope you like it too!

Thanks for stopping by...

Happy New Year

Happy 2011!  I am still trying to pick my OLW for this year... have narrowed it down but one is not standing out completely to me yet.  I will post soon when I decide.  I hope you each had a fabulous holiday and new year's day!  I had a blast with my family and friends!

Today, our new mini catalog when live.  There are so many fabulous new stamp sets and paper and punches in this catalog!  You can shop online through my store!

Here is an upcoming class... technique club.
We will be doing 2 step stamping, generational stamping and watercoloring.

I case'd these cards and layout..
Hope you enjoy!
