Girl Monday?

NOPE....It's Girl FRIDAY, one of my favorite new lines by Cosmo Cricket! I made this lil flip book album in a convention workshop at GASC last weekend. The class was alot of fun and taught by none other than STACI ETHERIDGE, fellow Texan and scrapbooker extraordinaire! She was a great teacher, very upbeat, but kept the instructions good from all levels of scrappers. (ok, except the ones behind us who decided about 5minutes in there were gonna "watch" instead of create"....what's up with that? I think they might have been "pretend scrapbookers").

Everyone who has seen the book LOVES it...My #1 fan on this creation was my daughter who gets to keep it, as I used it to record her Band Banquet event photos!

Friday already?

Wow...this week has FLOWN by for me. My girls left Tuesday for a few days with my parents on a trip to Fredericksburg. With all the excitement of GASC last weekend, and being so tired, I've been a BAD BLOGGER this week.

Here is a look at one of the projects I made at the convention in a class I took. The front and back covers are made with embossed metal...as technique I am now IN LOVE with! It also has several metal embossed elements as accents.

National Scrapbook Day

Wow! What a whirlwind weekend! I baked like wild woman from Wednesday to Friday in preparation for our NSD crop. 6 dozen cupcakes (Banana Split flavored, Pink Lemonade flavored, white) 3 dozen cupcake pops...and not ONE single picture! I''m sure someone else at the crop took pictures of the table, but I woke Friday morning with an awful headache and just wasn't on my "A" game with some other family distractions also.

I cropped Friday from 12 to 6pm, came home for a bit to nap and get rid of my headache then returned to crop from 9 till 4am. I returned again Saturday morning at 10 and stayed another 6hours. It was a really productive weekend, and I got to visit with friends and make a few new ones also!

I'll leave ya with a picture of my scrappin pal Vicki. She only got to come scrap Friday night. The poor thing was scheduled to leave for vacation Sunday morning to Disney. I'm sure she was very sad to leave {snort}! At least she will return with even more photos for memory making in scrapbooks!

Too much fun

Today is going to be a FUN filled day! Our scrapbooking group is having an all day crop in celebration for Katy's birthday!! I made a fun cake last night for her
...the theme for the crop is "Party like a rock star", so naturally the cake needed to match.

Katy is an awesome gal! She is a HUGE Bon Jovi fan. So, it is only fitting we celebrate her day in style. She is heading out soon actually to see her beloved BJ in Vega (lucky girl)!
