Never too old for coloring

My nephew recently told his daddy that he was done coloring 'cause that was for little kids. Hmmm. I STILL like coloring;) ...especially with my Copics. This stamp was loaned to me by Katie and she reminded me of Hawaii. So cute. I used some Stampin' Up paper that has been stashed for a few years. I also "had" to glitter up the button on there, line the envelope and add some GellyRoll sparkle pen to outline the layers. It makes me smile!

a lil' patriotism

Sometimes I get a little sad thinking about the state of our country. Other times, I feel empowered to make a difference. I love this chosen land of ours. I hope I can really instill this love in the hearts of my children. I want them to feel awe, inspiration, loyalty, and even thrill when they see our flag! God Bless America!!

Scabooty birthday page

This is new paper from SU! It is so clean and bright and cheerful and fun and ... LOVE it! Scotty is much the same. I love how cheerful and full of life that guy is. He is so happy, it's contageous. (yes, I am sorry to say that I am still crushin' on banners) n

Scrappy time

I finally got a few moments to get some pages done from 2010. I CANT get any more behind!!

Scott's birthday was last weekend. I saw this camping themed party on my friend's blog and knew it would fit right in with our new fire pit and outdoor party. Scott loves red, too, so this was perfect. The cake was my chocolate cake recipe, but I decided to try my hand at torting. Sweetwise lady has videos that are FABULOUS! Step by step and easy to follow. It was so shmeesy and fun. The filling was a creamy ganache pudding, SCRUMMY! I am sold on torting. Why did I wait so long?

Out of my SYSTEM...for now.

There! I have had my fix of baby AND girly. Now I feel better. This is actually a pocket page to store all my cards from my squooshies. I'll have to cut an opening in my page protector to allow access. The sun MUST be shining today...oh, wait...it IS!!! We'll hit 70's today. Aaaah. Now THAT is what I call a day off. Soakin' it up while boogyin' to some Eric Church and Chris Rene.

Oh, BABY!

I am getting pretty burned out on baseball\sports pages. It seems that is all I get to do nowadays. So, I jumped at the chance to make these for a girl at work who is due at the end of the month. I whipped these out in no time. I can tell it has been to long since I have been able to scrap FUN pages. It sure helped to have cute "Nana's Nursery" paper, too:) Aah. Now on to Mother's Day pages from 2010.
