Golfing with Daddy

Finally, I get to scrapbook today (not clean or go to Wal-Mart or some other stupid thing). I'm finishing up some May 2007 layouts then I will have my daughter's Spring 2007 album finished. Yay!

Paper from Scrapbook Castle. Stamps are Stampin' Up!

Graduation Layout

This is a fun layout we did in a class at Scrapbook Castle today.

Bus Tour

I helped teach classes for the Bus Tour yesterday at Scrapbook Castle. Ashley had the BEST make-n-take for attendees. I hated that we only had 1/2 hour with each group to teach it, but I still think they had fun and enjoyed it. It was a page layout with a little book attached for photos. This is Ashley's sample:

Easter Classes from Scrapbook Castle

These are pages that were offered as classes at Scrapbook Castle. I love that Ashley is obsessed with Stickles now too. I love the glitz and glitter that adorn these pages.

Another One for the Tooth Fairy

It's really strange sometimes how life repeats itself.

My six-year-old daughter lost her fourth tooth yesterday almost exactly to the day that she lost her second tooth last year. In honor of that, here's the layout I did for that second lost tooth a year ago.

The only TAC product I used on this layout is the stickles but I don't think it would have the same "magical" feel without the sparkle.

The paper is some that I have had for years (literally--I've been saving it since she was born). The fairy is from Scrapbook Castle in Alton. The letters were made with coluzzle templates, and I bought the teeth brads from eBay.

Enjoy!

Flutterby

Got to do some cropping at Scrapbook Castle in Alton today. This was my favorite creation out of the few projects I got done. The paper is by Carolee's and the butterfly stamp is by The Angel Company.

My Newest Toy!

For months, I have been wanting a new trimmer. I have the purple Fiskars Euro and it's okay but the blades go dull on it so fast. I also have "ole gray" but he doesn't cut straight anymore.

Anyhoo, I have been doing some research online and pretty much decided to go with the Making Memories trimmer shown here. Then I was working at the scrapbook store the other day(Scrapbook Castle in Alton--see link at right) and a friend that I haven't seen for years came in and she had one. I tried it and I was hooked. Thanks Ashley for ordering it for me. It's awesome!

I know it is upside down in the picture but I am right-handed and that's how I use it. The best part (besides it cutting super straight and tiny little slivers perfectly) is that I don't ever have to buy a new blade for it. It's self-sharpening. Yay! And I love the sleek black and silver design so much that I won't mind if it's sitting out on my dining room/scrap table.
