Another display board!


For Scrap Artz. This one uses papers and canvas from Trace Industries. Love how these colors complement this photo of my dh's grandfather, mother, aunt, and uncle in the 1940's! I was trying to create the feel of a quilt without being so obvious about it!

Exciting news!!!


I have just been asked to join the DT over at Scrappin Chicks. What a wonderful place!!! The girls on the MB are so friendly, and the store has all the latest and greatest stuff!!! http://www.scrappinchicks.com/

I also found these awesome stamps at Big Lots today. I nearly fainted when I saw the paisley one, because I just bought it in December for $12. They are made by PSX. I got 2 of the paisley ones as RAKS for some friends!

My first display board for Scrap Artz!!!!


Here is first board for the store. I love these Daisy D's papers!! They were so much fun to work with! Again, my friend Tisha provided a wonderful photo for me of my baby girl. I did one other one, but am not posting it since the photo is not of one of my babies! Thanks for looking!

Whew....

What a month!!!

I had an emotional couple of weeks with the whole pregnancy issue... I really was pregnant, but ended up miscarrying about a week after the OB appointment. The test was negative in the office because the embryo was no longer viable... but I'm OK with it. It took me a while to get over the fatigue of the whole thing...

In other news, I decided to enter HOF after all. I know... I am a glutten for punishment! But I did it anyway! It was a valuable experience, whatever the outcome may be.

I also discovered a new scrapbook store just north of Richmond called ScrapArtz. http://www.scrapartzweb.com/ It's a wonderful place!!! And I am now on their DT! I'll be teaching classes as well beginning in March. I'm so excited for this opportunity!!

Also, my friend Holly has a new venture. She is creating papers, and they are wonderful!!! Check out her website: http://www.atrailofpaper.com/ Really great stuff!!! Can't wait to see what else she has up her sleeve!!!

I get to work with her papers for Scrapncircle this month!!! I promise to post when I'm done!
