Over Thanksgiving we spent time with family here near Jacksonville, FLA.  We went on a 5 day cruise (also with family) and to Atlantis….YES I did all the water slides and the leap of faith.  It was AWESOME.

Here is a shot of me (taken by my daughter) racing my son down one of the slides at Atlantis,  Yes he won.  

tomorrow- back to reality!  Its been 2 weeks wonderful weeks.  Today I am at my Mom’s here in Florida.  My Dad is having surgery today so we are taking care of the dogs and visiting him later this afternoon.  I hope to make some of my Christmas cards today.  (Yup…I packed a whole suitcase of stamping stuff)  Tomorrow you will see my cookie exchange invites I made before I left for the cruise.

Nothing brand new to share- But we made this scrap page a few weeks back at at workshop. It utilizes the the new Secret Garden rub-ons. A scrapper I am not, so I cased this from the Art from the Heart CD. My son is now 8 so this brings back a few memories.

Eastern Elegance & SCS color challenge

I was saving these big flower rub-ons from the Eastern Elegance set for just the right card. I wasn’t really sure what to do with them until I saw this card by Nancy Riley, who cased it from Jacki Pedro. Not only did I find a great way to use these I also found a good reason to use my pearls from the Pretties kit. this color combo follows the color challenge from Splitcoast 2 weeks ago using Pomegranate, soft sky and black. I really like how these turned out and they look way better in real life! Thanks Nancy & Jackie for the great idea!

Recipe:
Stamps: Short and sweet
Ink: black
paper: soft sky, pomegranate, black
Accessories: Cuttlebug, Pretties Kit, Eastern Elegance Rub-ons, various punches and ribbon.

It’s All About Family

These are the faces of my family. Aren’t we sweet? My oldest, the pouty one, was annoyed b/c the dogs were not cooperating and in the picture. Hmmm that would be 7 moving objects all in one shot. Impossible!

I’ll be sure to post a picture of the dogs one of these days. Lexy (the sister dog) loves paper– especially Stampin’ Up paper or anything to do with stamping paper. She eats cards by the bucket full (definitely can’t leave them out and in reach anymore), demonstrator applications, scraps and mini catalogs. arrgghh!

In honor of National Scrapbooking Day- I have made this 6×6 page, It was cased from JanTink. I also made it for a team swap so I hope the girls like it! I don’t scrap very often so the pages I do make I feel inclined to share! Enjoy!
