Homecoming....

I life has been insane here. I have finally gotten to create layouts around a few of the pictures from "Homecoming". I still have a stack of pictures that will make terrific layouts-- I just have to find the time...I hope you enjoy the ones that I have done so far..




I even got a 2 page layout of Andy's football game completed- he is #66!

Halloween scrapping for "The Scrapper's Place"

The Scrapper's Place in Findlay, Ohio received a wonderful shipment of Little Yellow Bicycle Halloween line. It is a spooktacular line with great paper, brads, overlays there is even a terrific mini book complete with paper cut to fit! The Scrapper's Place also received the LYB "Autumn Bliss" line- one word STUNNING--- that will be my next project.
Here are the layouts and Mini book I did with the Halloween line.

The Scrapper's Place Findlay, Ohio... A Terrific Scrapbook and Stamp Store!

In May 2009 a Scrapbook Store called The Scrapper's Place joined the businesses on Main Street in Findlay, Ohio.
Lisa, owner of The Scrapper's Place is doing a terrific job of bringing fun layout and card making classes to Findlay. The store has both loose scrapbook paper and embellishments as well as layout kits and stamping supplies. Lisa is very open minded to what her customers want and does her best to fill their requests for products and classes.
I recently started creating layouts for The Scrapper's Place. Here are my additions to The Scrapper's Place displays....

I'm the "Queen of Paradise"!

First.. THANK ALL OF YOU who took the time and went and voted for the Queen of Paradise.

These are the challenge layouts I did for the Queen of Paradise competition.



These are the "mini" challenges that THANKS to all of you voting kept me stranded on Paradise Island competing for the crown.

A Saturday walk... with my camera....

I went for a drive and took my camera, Julie and Andy...
Here is what I came home with..

Chris Young -"Gettin You Home"- Hit the TOP 10! Congratulations Chris!!!

To us it is no surprise that Chris Young's song "Getting You Home" is in the top 10 this week---heading for NUMBER 1!! Go Chris!! Chris's new cd "The Man I Want to Be" hits the stores Tuesday September 1st. I know where I am going Tuesday morning!
The video should be in the TOP 10 soon!
We had the pleasure of meeting Chris (and his terrific mom and sister) at CMA Fest this past summer. Chris gave wonderful performances that we thoroughly enjoyed.
We are hoping he comes within a few hours so we can see him again SOON!
For those of you lucky enough to live anywhere near Murfreesboro, Tennessee--August 31st at Walmart there is a release party for Chris's new cd and Chris will be there to sign them! Wear you black dress and go see Chris! If it wasn't a school night I would take Julie even though it is a 7 hour drive!

A Little Photo Shoot....

Julie had her boyfriend Andy's away game jersey- the tradition is that the girlfriends where the boys football jersey to school and to the game. The boys will say it's "for luck and team support". I laughed. I think it is to show off who there girlfriend is! Andy said to Julie "You look good in my shirt".. that got me humming the Keith Urban song! Which of course leads to "I wanna Kiss a Girl"

Chuck Wicks Carey Fest concert..

Chuck puts on a terrific concert! He also has a fantastic band to back him up!
