I love this new school themed line called Appleton from Scenic Route!!! It is PERFECT for school projects. I created this fun little mini book using one of my other SR favourites...the covered albums!!!
I think I may have to make a class out of this one!!! I wonder if it would be something people would be interested it?? Thoughts??
I have to add this...
So, we are having dinner and I have my IPOD on...a little LL Cool J and J LO...and Riley decides to bust a move in between bites of home fries and chicken. I ask...
"Where did you learn those moves?"
He replies...
"I just aquired them. Figured it out on my own."
I chuckle and say...
"You aquired them, huh?"
He says...
"Yep, that's what I said"
Love. The. Kid.
I am busily working on projects for CHA (Craft and Hobby Association- for those who aren't sure what the heck CHA stands for!) Summer in Chicago...next week...lots to do...only a few days left...if you were wondering what the heck I have been up to. I will be posting pictures of said CHA projects over the next few days. I think I will do a fabulous giveaway early next week as well. Maybe some new CHA goodness to be given away upon my return. Sounds good??
Here are a few things that I have completed....
First, a little Gel-A-Tins deliciousness...
I added a little Ranger razzmatazz to the background on this one. The stamps are called Family Tree. Love them!!!
These are some of my little mans best buds from his old school (miss these dudes!!!). The stamps are a fun set called Take Me to Your Leader. I told you they were fun!!!!
I LOVE these two sets of stamps!!! LOOOOOVE them!!! The fruit stamps are from a set called Sweet To the Core and the trees (double love!!!) are from Sheltering Tree.
Finally...
A little more with Sheltering Trees (love them!!! Just sayin'...) and the alphabets are from the winter release, Golly Gee Big Letters.
Great stuff this time around!!! Although I have yet to be disappointed with anything from Gel-A-Tins!!! Good stamps!!!
Next, a little Daisy D's Paper Co fun the Chloe Marie line...
I have a BUNCH of Scenic Route to post, some Kelly Panacci and some Sassafras which I will get up as soon as I complete them. Alot of scrapping will be going down over here!! If you are looking for me I'll be the one with paper in my hair and glue on my face!!! LOL!!!!
First off, Happy 4th of July to all of my American friends!!!! I have been having problems with Typepad and adding photos to my blog but I think I have it figured out! So, now I can post my Ranger U experience!
Ranger U! Had a great time! I took classes with Suze Weinburg, Clauudine Hellmuth and Tim Holtz. I learned over 70 new techniques and I am now a Ranger Certified Instructor! Pretty cool!
They were all fabulous! Suze has me hooked on my new melting pot, Claudine was an absolute delight and has some fab products coming out at CHA summer and Tim is just a wealth of distressing knowledge! I learned a lot and now I need to sit down and play!!! Along with some fun, new techniques, I also met a bunch of new friends!
This Susan, Kathy, me and Teri. We had some fun!!!
Penny and I. Another cool chick!
Dyan (the wonderful lady behind Blonde Moments...I love this stuff! Check it out here) and Wendy.
The Magenta sisters, Nathalie and Helene.
Terri and Bernie.
Kezia, my Melt Art Spokesmodel!!!!
It was a crazy 4 days and Kezia was the best roomie! We shopped, enjoyed a few good meals and almost got arrested! ;) I love girls who know how to laugh and have a good time...there were lots of them at Ranger U! Thanks to all of the Ranger peeps who made the whole event such a pleasurable experience!!!!
Oh, man! I have so much to share! I want to finish up all of the Europe stuff so I can talk about other fun stuff and post even more pictures and projects!!!! NEVER. ENOUGH. TIME. IN. THE. DAY. Do you feel like that, too? I know you are out there! Talk to me! Or talk at me. Whatever works for you! And if you are waiting for an email from me...I will be doing that soon! There are a lot of people waiting for me in my inbox. I have been working on scrapbook stuff! Feels darn good to scrap! I am all ready to tackle CHA projects!!! I also want to talk about Ranger U and I will post again over the weekend! Ok, enough with the rambling!
The second leg of my trip to the Netherlands! And ten million more photos!!!
I had the opportunity to teach at a store called Scrapland while I was in Amsterdam. The ladies there were so nice and we had a great time scrapping and chatting!
One of the main reasons I went to the Netherlands was for the Scrap-A-Ganza Event. It was similar to CKU with lots of classes and a great market place. The ladies who attended were lovely and all of the Scrap-A-Ganza staff were great! Here are a few pics form the event...
Me, Layle and Jennifer (from Luxe Designs) having a nice visit!
A big highlight of my time in Holland was visiting the Albert Cuyp Market with Layle and Melodee! It was fun and I had the BEST ICE CREAM ever there!!!! Here are a few pics...
Look! It's Mike Tyson!!!
The ice cream!!!! It was banana and hazelnut! mmmmmmmm! Layle and Melodee liked it too!
And Layle made a new friend!
This is the Barbapapa family!!! Do you remember????
Red and Polka Dots!!! What more could a girl ask for?!?!?
I loved these shops!!!!!
Here are a few random photos and a few black and whites...
In all, Holland was a blast! Good weather, good friends and a few new friends, good shopping and site and a great scrapping event! Thanks for taking a look at the photos. I have a ton more but this is what I had time to edit!
What a glorious day! We went to my Mom and Dad's trailer last night so that we could watch the boat parade, street parade and a soap box derby today! We had a fabulous time!
