USA

Happy Memorial Day! I thought I would share a LO that I did the other day. This is a LO of my two great uncles home on leave from WWII. I had uncles in every branch of the service. During WWII, two were killed and two were injured. So on days like today, it is nice to remember those who came before.

I used Jenni Bowlin and Simply Luxe papers. Luxe alphas and the doodle roller. Glitz Icing.

Austin Concert

I had the most awesome and productive weekend. I had the fantastic opportunity to spend a free day at The Stolen Moments Inn with several of my good friends and my mom scrapping and creating. Thank you Susie for such an awesome weekend.

While I was there I created a few LOs. This first LO is for my Son's Band Competition down in Austin. I only wanted to use one page, but I wanted to use the
the four pictures. So I made it into a pull out and a flip boook.

The big star pulls out to show another picture. I don't know why I don't have a picture of it. I also see that I need to cover the back of the star.

I used Jenni Bowlin Paper and Simply Luxe. The stars are Jenni Bowlin and the treble cliff is Maya Road.

Lukes' band got a first division and was chosen best in class. I was so proud of him! I will be sharing some more LOs of him tomorrow.

I always feel recharged and ready to create even more!

Some More LOs

I haven't shared any LOs in a while. But here are a few!

Some of these were for challenges like the butterfly and the pink LO and in Sams mind. Cleanliness and the Big Organic flower and Luke in a tree were for Kris Myers. I did the play and explore for Andrea Gold. The rest were just playing around. I was kind of counting things up and so far for the 2008 year...I have done at least 115 scrappy projects. Not too bad. I still have the summer to go!

Retirement Card

I made this card the other day for a retirement party. (This card was not my unique creation. I saw it on another blog but can't remember where.) There was a little story about her getting locked outside of her house....and this card just made me think of her. It was really fun to make. TFL.

National Scrapbooking Day

Well....I have to say that I had the greatest time at The Crafty Scrapper on National Scrapbooking Day. These are two of the LOs I made and two books as well as the make and take that I taught. There is one more LO and a mug that I made from 10 second studio that I will share later.

DT Canvas at the Crafty Scrapper

I love being me and I loved making this canvas. This was all about learning new styles, having fun espressing myself and sharing a bit of myself with all of you.

First off why do I love being me? I have seen God's blessing and miracles in my life. I have a precious little boy who just made the top score on a math bench mark at school. Great achievement in itself, but made even more incredible because his doctors told me when he was born at 1 pound 11 oz. that he wouldn't be able to learn and would be very sick. A miracle! I also have a beautiful boy who is about to graduate high school on June 10th. Miracle and a Blessing! And......my middle son is the most amazing tuba player who tells me he knows he made 100 on his TAKS test. What a blessing! My husband has been the love of my life for 26 years. A Great Blessing. Now....I get to scrap for TCS! I am very blessed.

Making this canvas was so much fun! Since I am a hybrid scrapper, I wanted to use the best of the digital and the paper world. My crown and wings are from my friend Fantacy Bryant. The button, list and leaf are from Weeds and Wildflowers. Then I added the Simply Luxe paper as a border and stickled it all over! I also Stickled my canvas. The B was a great project that Caroline from Maya Road shared with us during a make and take at the birthday crop. The chipboard was painted stamped and covered with UTEE and heat set. It was mega fun!

So...this is me...my blessing inspire me and fill me with such joy, that I just have to scrap about it!
