Tropical Xmas

A good friend of mine, Shauna, made me appreciate the words "Mele Kalikimaka" even more than when I first heard them on my favorite Xmas movie tradition "Christmas Vacation". So, Shauna, this one's for you.

Holiday cards....getting ready.

Here we are already getting ready to mail out our holiday greetings. CTMH makes creating our own cards so easy and fun.

Having Fun Stamping....

Jingle is my new favorite paper. It has a great combo of stripes, dots, snowflakes, presents....and the colors are so much fun. Add some Heart Felt Die Cuts and Twinkle Brads and you got yourself a great layout.

Just a Thought......

Take a moment today to reflect on all the good that is in your life and remember family is everything.

Stampalooza!

Though I am partial to scrapbooking, I have fallen in love with CTMH's My Acrylix stamp sets...they are so pretty and easy to use, clean and store. The clear blocks make placement of your images flawless and if you need to reink....the clear blocks make it easy. I have had many of my scrapping peeps asking me to do special instruction just on using the stamp sets and different techniques...so I set up a night on November 16th for all those who would like to come to stamp and learn some cool techniques........

Another "Sweet Home" Creation

More fun with Sweet Home.

Sweet Home.............yes it is.

This is the time of year when we realize how lucky we are to be living in such a great town. It helps you reflect on the good things and the innocence of our children. We get to experience things through their eyes.....and it is an awesome thing. Our annual tradition is to take the girls to Bluemont, VA 10 minutes away and spend the day at Great Country Farms....they get to do their traditional hayride, pumpkin picking, and apple eating and also get to experience kettle corn, pumpkin pillows, mazes of the coolest kind, pumpkin eating dinosaurs and animals that make a farm "a farm". Sweet Home from Close To My Heart has made preserving these memories wonderful. The colors of garnet and buttercup and the most awesome blue work together wonderfully and make working with them so easy and enjoyable. CTMH, you did it again......Take a look at some of my creations:
