Summer Lovin'!

I have been working on the "Summer" ATCs and completed and mailed them out today!
I love making these things now!

I love summer time! I am getting caught up on my scrapbooking! What the HECK? You may be saying...
Living in Florida in the summer is like living up north inthe winter. While you may be running from your car to the warmth of your home...I am running from my car to the coolness of my home! It is so blasted hot out that unless your swimming, being outside is painful! This page is so sweet and I loved the quiet of the house last night as I worked on this!




Here is a layout I completed today as a challenge at All Moments Remembered! It is a use your stash challenge.

Christmas in July?????

Here are some ATCs I made to swap today. This past weeks theme at All Moments Remembered Message Boards Scrap Chat Hour was Christmas in July. I like the simplicity of these and the fun in creating something little to send to friends! Being that I live in Florida, it only seemed appropriate to use flamingos! As always, you are welcome to click on these images to enlarge them for your viewing pleasure!

This is a challenge I completed from the crop from this weekend. Unfortunately, I have trouble logging onto the message boards at times and I didn't get to post it before the challenge was over...
We were to complete a layout that resembled a magazine layout. I used a grocery store magazine I received in the mail this week.

Scrapping at the Crop...plus a BIG RAK!

Well, I actually missed the crop. I had to take a friend to the airport and I was alone with Baby Jay all weekend as Daddy was out of town. It is a shame as there are a lot of giveaways, and challenges with prizes throughout the day! So, I was limited to peeking at the All Moments Remembered Message Boards ocasionally. (Click on this link to go and check out what we do at our crops! You still have time to participate!) After baby went to bed, I was in for some serious cropping! Oh, by the way...I totally redid my area and added some shelving opening up my 8 foot table even more! Woo hoo!!! This new fresh, organized space allowed me to utilize all my supplies. I especially had fun using some of my new things!

Alphabet ATC-Rated X

hee hee hee hee

I jumped on this one so fast. I was really excited with the theme of this one! Yes, me...who said she would never ever do another ATC after this! I enjoy them and have found ways to make them go a little bit quicker! Here is my latest. It is the letter Xx. I will be receiving 25 other ATCs to complete my alphabet swap. I of course will post them as they will be fabulous, I am sure!

"Inchies" The Mascot

I have created two cute inchies today! A few of the mascot for some die hards...just leave a comment and tell me if you are a die hard!! Then I will send out the few I have!
Inchies are 1 x 1 inch mini creations.

Then, there is this very cheery one for someone who loves inchies far, far away from sunny FL. The front says, "Sun Times Fun Times".

4th of July ATC

I have been working on 4th of July ATCs to trade with some girls over on All Moments Remembered! They are so much fun! I put three "inchies" on each ATC!

A few cards

This first card I created for my nephew's very first birthday! He was born on the 4th of July. Had i been as clever as my husband, who suggested it be red, white and blue, I would have created the PERFECT card. Still, I love this one! If you go to flickr, you can run your mouse over the card and see the details.


Love these two colors together.


Gotta love dogs!
