Santa came early!

I am happy to say that Christmas came a little early for me and that's because of a great sale at AC Moore this weekend. Jim said I could go ahead and pick up the Cricut for my christmas present and not only was it marked down to only $179 but it also came with a really nice messenger bag!! =) I already used it last night to complete a layout I had been working on and I love the way it turned out!

What great stuff I got in the mail yesterday. I've been getting some really good deals on Ebay and purchasing multiple items from one seller saves you on shipping costs, too. I got this cool new paper for Robert's deployment book.


I also got this great embellishment pack that I wasn't sure how I was going to use it or for what book or subject but check out the picture I took of Daisy this weekend. This stuff is going to be perfect for it!!

Wow, what a great layout I saw on the Caroll Duvall show this morning, I had to print it out and I can't wait to try it!! I am really excited that my local HGTV is now carrying DIY Scrapbooking with Sandi Genovese at 10:30 each morning during the week, that is a great show that I have watched while visiting my mom and had my sister tape a bunch of episodes for me. Now I can actually watch it on my own tv at home!

Organizing my paper

So today I had a little block of time to spare and I decided that I better organize my paper so that I know more of what I have and might need for the projects I want to complete. I think I am pretty set in the military/patriotic paper department but I seem to always be looking for more. I wonder if it's all about the 'collecting'?? :-D

Triangle fold technique

This was a lot of work but so worth the outcome, it really made the page special for me, this was the only good picture that was taken of my first son with my father. My dad passed away when my oldest son was just 14 months old, this picture was really precious to me so I scanned it and printed it in black and white for the layout.

First post

Hi, my name is Linda and I am a scrapbooking addict. I started scrapping when my son went to boot camp and I wanted to do a scrapbook for his Marine Corps career and I haven't looked back!
