Place Cards

She's Alive !!

Wow! I can't believe it's been nearly a month since I last posted on the blog. I've been absolutely overwhelmed at work. However, I did manage to fit in a vacation to Northern California. I went with my sister, sister-in-law, nieces, and a couple of friends. The eight of us visited my cousin, Google, San Francisco, Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous (as you can see in the pictures). Unfortunately, it was back to reality all too soon. I've got a lot of catching up to do with my scrapbooking and card making. I plan to make alot of headway this week on some projects.

Color/Sketch Challenge

Have you ever pictured something in your head, but when you tried to make a reality it turned out to be a dud?! Well, that's what happened to me with this card. I combined this week's sketch and color challenge. The colors were Real Red, Green Galore, and Night of Navy. I had something much cooler pictured in my head, not exactly the way this card turned out! But, I need a card for my nephew's birthday tomorrow (who lives in Georgia), so I've got to get this in the mail! Oh well, better luck next time.

April Club - Scrapbook

Here is the scrapbook layout we will be doing for the April club. I designed it to be used for Easter, but I don't have any Easter pictures! So, I changed mine to use for a surprise birthday party that I attended a couple of weeks ago. The beauty of it is that you can make it whatever theme you want (and change your title accordingly)!

New Baby Scrapbook

I made a scrapbook for a very dear friend who just had a baby girl. I used the Simply Scrappin' kit and added extra paper as needed. Here are a few of the pages!
