I got you!

Here's another video. This one is about my guy helping my son get close to the edge of this cliff by the beach. My son has always been afraid of heights and James was just letting him know that he wouldn't let him fall. Cute moment captured.

Thinking of making a return!

I've been thinking about making a return to my blog. I will see how it goes. It has been almost a year since my last post. So here goes. My first attempt at blogging this year and it starts with a video. 

Explore Stonewall Video

Hello all. It has been to long. I have been busy scrapping just haven't taken the time to upload my projects. I have this layout video to share and then I will follow with a mini album that I recently created for work. These layouts are all from a kit I put together from products that I already had in my stash. Sometimes it's good to feel like I'm using up the old. I don't love how the second layout turned out. It's kind of busy for me but sometimes it just about getting it done. They wont all be masterpieces. Hope you enjoy and thanks for taking the time to watch.
 

Scrapbooking Layout Challenge

I decided to participate in a giveaway that mercytiara is having on youtube. She is giving away an great set of goodies. Here is the video if you want to participate. All you have to do is be a subscriber to her channel and create a layout about scrapbooking then leave a comment on the video linking to where your layout is. So here is my layout.The photos aren't that great. I don't have a nice photo printer anymore because I usually don't print them at home. The paper I used are Mat Stacks from DCWV it is called Hippie Chick. For some reason it seems like the Mat Stacks are the only size the paper is sold it. Seems weird to me. The journaling blocks are a Jenni Bowlin stamp and the letters a Thickers. I punched all the scallops out and just put them randomly behind the photos. I also busted out the sewing machine on this one. I love the stitched look.I also wanted to pass along what I think is a great deal. I found these paper tapes at Target in the office supply section. They are $4 for the set of 4 and I seen 3 different color choices. I think this is a steal considering how much tapes are going for. So check out your local Target. 

More 12 x 12 Layouts

Here are four more 12 x 12 layouts that I have done over the last couple weeks. I seem to of found my "layout mojo". I am so missing playing with mini albums though and I found some great inspiration for art journaling this week. I hate when I get inspired and I want to put everything else on the back burner to play, but the responsible side of me talks me out of it and says stay on the path you already set. I wonder if some great work falls by the wayside because I didn't follow the fun path. Sometimes my type A personality is evil. lol Anyway, all of these photos were taken last Mother's Day but I journaled about different things on each one and included different themes. I don't need 4 layouts that all say Mother's Day 2011 but this way I was still able to use the photos that I liked while jouranaling about a variety of things. I am off to enjoy the rest of my weekend. Planning to play a bit today. Hope you all have a fantastic Easter. Enjoy the time with family and friends.

Couple of Layouts

I have a couple of layouts to share. I am forcing myself to get cought up on some 12 x 12 layouts before I let myself do another mini album. I am pretty behind. Anyway, I got both of these layouts done this week. The first layout is about our Guinea Pig Darwin. I had to document that my son loved getting this little guy and has done pretty well at taking care of him. Darwin is a character. He has started nibbling at his cage when he wants to eat and trys to pull the bowl out of my hands. He is so darn cute. The second layout is of Mother's Day but I decided to make the layout about my son and his cousins relationship instead. There isn't any journaling. I felt the title said enough, but who knows maybe later I will add some. The paper I used on this layout is from Believe by Recollections. Which is a Christmas paper pad. I have been having the hardest time finding paper in my stash that I want to use. So I decided to broaden my horizons and looked through the Christmas papers and found something. Seems silly that in all the paper I have I can't find anything I want to work with. I always think in terms of mini's and don't want to use paper that would make a cute album. So that's what I have been working on this week. Now I am off to get some more done.

Assembly Line Scrapbooking

I have seriously neglected my blog for the last month. Not that I haven't been crafting. I have. I just can share the mini I completed yet. I'm doing a swap with my friend so I'm waiting for her to be done and us trade. I will put that video up soon. I do have this video about scrapbooking pages in an assembly line format to get more done. I explain it all in the video. Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day. So sorry for all the "UM's" in this video. I never realized how much I say that.

OMG.
