My Gelish Mani
Because you are all dying to know! Ok, I needed a pic for Sunday. Almost two weeks, lots of scrapping, some swimming, cleaning, and no chips!

Let It Snow
A little sneak peek of the workshop I'm offering at my house this Tuesday night, the 31st, 7pm! Stop on by. :)
Wonderland workshop on the go kit, modified ago I can offer a less expensive version. Snowflake stamps, sparkles, Crystal Blue ink, foundry pins, large Friendship alpha, and some cute techniques. Come on over!
My running buddy
I love that my kids are interested in running, even if that interest only lasts two blocks. I'm happy to run a little slower at first, for the company. I just drop her off back at the house when she is done and finish with Pat Benatar to keep me company. :)

In a Class of Your Own
Typeset paper and canvas Stickease, chipboard shapes. I distressed all the edges with black ink, and the layout is an oldie but a goodie, from Cherish. I love these canvas shapes, and plan to get some more before the paper it's retired.
Scrapping Snacks
What munchies or beverages do you absolutely need to scrap? I think wine is essential. This one is Cupcake Shiraz, courtesy of a friend.

True Happiness
Another Pagemaps layout with the secret paper and matching Stickease, some cocoa ribbon and a CTMH pewter ribbon slide. I also used a number of blingy brads by Spare Parts. Oh, I used the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to cut a full page medallion.
17 pages in two days; I suppose 1:15 is time for bed. My goal for tomorrow (today) will be to get to 20 for the weekend.
My favorite memory
It's a wedding album, I am allowed to be mushy! Die cut papers from K and Company, journaling spot made by me with craft store stamps, another by Stampin' Up!, secret stickers, Opaque Pearls.
Happily Ever After
This is a layout from Magic that I've ben wanting to try forever. Bliss paper and Stickease, more Opaque Pearls, and a Top Coats Framed In overlay.
Remember this moment
More paper I can't tell you about yet, lots of flowers-some CTMH, some not. Flourishes and journaling spot from You and Me kit, sketch from the Pagemaps book.
I'm not making as much progress as I have in previous years at this crop, but I think my pages are much more intricate. 12 down; I think I should at least make it through the wedding, if not the vacation beforehand.
So cold!
Quick layout using Bliss scraps, a K and Company diecut, some of our flowers and brads and a homemade journaling spot.
Scenes from a wedding
I liked the whimsy of this Pagemap, with the chipboard circles and tilted photos and papers. Bliss again, and Olde World alpha. And lots of bling.
Remember this day
Bliss paper, Stickease, Villa irresistibles, lots of Opaque Pearls in Licorice, Mocha and white Bitty Pearls. Stamps are Love Life and one from the craft store. Layout from Pagemaps.
Family....together we have it all
I can't tell you what paper or stamp set this is, check back in a week. :) Sketch from Pagemaps book.
Simple family photo page
I didn't even bother with a title. Stitched background page by K and Company, one extra flourish embellishment, a little journaling to identify who is who, and done. I wish they could all be this easy.

Cherish
We are off to a slow start, thanks to a lovely but long dinner. Then, I didn't set the pressure high enough so I had to punch out the title. That was fun! :) However, here are the first two pages: family photos taken the day of my brother's wedding. The layout is from the Sweetheart workshop on the go, modified with the new title and embellishments.

Attempting to pack for a scrap weekend
It's not going well. It is so hard to not bring all my stuff!
The good news is, I will have plenty of blog fodder and photos to share as the weekend progresses.

What did I do today?
I got my nails done (trying Gelish for the first time) and later scrapbooked with the girls. This photo caught both. :)

My son, at the library
He likes to make new friends at the library, playing with the dollhouse and trains. A great way to spend a day off from school!

Toy Story cupcakes
We are at a birthday party today and I couldn't resist taking a photo of these Jessie cowgirl hat and alien cupcakes. So cute!

Sous Chef in training
Our daughter has recently taken an interest in helping us cook, particularly in helping Daddy do various things with meat. I love seeing her grow up! And, I hate seeing her grow up.
I'm alternating between my phone camera and my point and shoot. I should stick with the cell, so much easier for the photoblogging!

My Girls
Getting a late start, but I'm trying for a photo a day. Here is a typical moment on scrap night, sharing a laugh about the kids.
