Fall is coming!

After several days of 90*F, Fall has come. The pups enjoyed it. I couldn't help but capture this snap of them, each on their own walking stone and impatiently waiting for me to reward them with cheerios. Cheerios are my girls kryptonite!

Winner, winner chicken dinner

Thanks to Stephanie Hackney of PaperCrafter'sCorner and Layle of Simple Stories for picking me for the "Say Cheese" collection line.

As you all know, I am a huge Disney addict and though I already have a copy. I've almost used it all! So now I get to play again. Yay! Thanks Simple Stories and Stephanie :) I cannot wait!

Copic cards

Testing my photography skills. I wanted to include a couple of cards I have made and adore.
Peach, yellow and gray bridal card for a friend whose wedding were these colors. At first, I wasn't really feeling the gray with the peach and yellow. Now I feel she was pure genius. She has now made me think of a new world of colors that I would never put together but look so good together. 

 Orange-ya happy? Beautiful card for any occasion including sympathy. I will post Copic colors later.

This was another creation that I could not immediately decide if I even liked. Too much purple? Too much green? But in the end and with a bow on top, it ended up being one of my favorite. I also added a bit of glitz and yellow pearls.

The pups are busy...

Catching up on their beauty rest. Paisley in her bed and Izzie on some random towel, she whined to have. Aren't they cute?

 Sorry the coloring seems off in this picture. One of my favorite wedding pics - the bridesmaids and my hubby. I also went crazy with the metallic threading. It is amazing! This layout is all glitz and glam in person. Sadly the picture does not do this layout justice.
I love this layout. It turned out beautiful. I used a little bit of this and a little bit of that. If you look closely and I am still working on my photography skills but you will see a glisten. I used angel dust over the whole layout for a pop and Copic lipstick spica for the heart and arrows/Copic butterbut spica for the "stop".

Scrapbook event and lots of laughter

After months of emailing and coordinating, it happened. The first "Caterpillar Creative Crop" held at a local scrapbook store. 4 women attended and honestly to me, it was as success. This is the first event and few women were on vacation post holiday. I was happy that many came and yes it may seem small but the interest is growing. I was excited for a day of mingling and creating with coworkers.

As most of you know, I love Disney to the moon and back. I also go married there. So my wedding album has began. (Can I get a hell ya!? Woot! Woot!) So far so good. I had a restless night of little to barely any sleep, so my creative mojo wasn't on high flow but with a few cups of vanilla bean coffee, I was able to get a couple of adorable layouts. I mostly socialized.


*Disclaimer: I will post the rest of the layout. It is currently being reviewed for a contest.
