California Here We Come Layout

This is a layout that I made of our drive to California last year. I have actually had this layout sketched out for quite some time, but just finally got around to getting it done. I am trying to use up supplies I already have, so I used some left over chipboard letters and covered them with cardstock. I like the look of the different fonts.

Disney Scrappers Challenge #2

I wanted to do some challenges, so I made this layout for the challenges they just started at disney scrappers. The challenge was "Caution! You May Get Wet". So I did a layout of Splash Mountain from our Disneyland trip last year.

Valentines Day 2011

Okay, I LOVE Basic Grey kits! Since I have not had any motivation to scrap anything and the pictures are piling up, I bought a few of these kits on ebay. These are pictures we took on valentines day this year.

New Years 2011

I had this layout done at the end of the year, but didn't have all the pictures to go on it until recently. I love this paper line! This is a layout of our new year tradition of staying home, eating a huge patter of cheese and crackers form Swiss Colony, and playing board games. Pretty fun!Individuals...

Disneyland Matterhorn Bobsleds

So I got all these pictures out from Disneyland last year thinking I could do one of the challenges at www.disneyscrappers.ning.com, but ended up doing a layout that doesn't go with any of the challenges....haha...of course! :) Here is a layout of the Matterhorn Bobsleds (I missed this one at Disney World this year!). I cut the abominable snowman from a scal cut at http://mardenz.blogspot.com, but thought he looked a little plain so I added some mulberry I had laying around from the tear bear phase I went through....

Dusted off the Cricut..........

I have created something! I know, I can hardly believe it! I have not used any of my supplies since I can remember! Not that I haven't been buying more of them :) I made this little card for my nephews 7th birthday party tomorrow and thought that I would share this amazing achievement of mine! I even got to use my Mini Monster cartridge I bought at the beginning of the year! I may even get crazy and actually make a layout....I have been eyeing some Disney challenges.......

the envelope....

Oh my gosh....

Here it is March, and I have posted zip in so long! I guess I have been pretty busy. I have been busy with school (5 classes to go until I get my degree!). I have had terrible scrappers block the past few months, I have been just staring at the same layouts forever, I just need to force myself to get them done so it will go away! :) I guess sometimes you just need a break. I wish I was one of those scrappers who could just keep turning out amazing pages everyday, maybe someday when I have more time!

For some good stuff..we just returned from our first visit to Disneyworld yesterday! We had lots of fun and didn't want to come home to Washington States yucky weather. I wanted to pack up a few palm trees in my suitcase. Growing up in California, I sure miss those silly trees! Anyway, here are a few pics from our trip, hopefully I will get these scrapped soon!

January StuckOnU Sketch

I have been slacking on keeping up with the sketches at StuckOnU! I was doing so good too! So I thought I would try to keep up a little better and do the current sketch, and get a Disney page out of the way!

After doing this page I realized that I may need to buy one of these........

Does anyone have one of these? They look super cool!

Wow....

I didn't realize that I have not posted since Christmas! Well, I hope all had a great Christmas and a happy new years eve! I did actually manage to get all my 2010 layouts done, BUT I cant call the book complete until I get all the pictures printed from Christmas and attached to the page (which I continue to wait for my sister to give me copies of the pics she took, just in case they came out better than mine).

I did come up with some new goals for the new year. I toyed with the idea of 211 layouts in 2011, but that seems extreme to me, so I think I am going to try for the usual 100 goal. But I do want to complete some albums-

* Niks Book 2 (Ages 1-2)
* Nik Book 3 (Ages 3-5)
* William Baby Book (yes, he will be 12 this year)
* William Book 2 (Ages 1-2)
* Disneyland 2010

Maybe I can do it, maybe I cant. But it is nice to have a goal.

In the mean time here is a layout from our 2010 Family Album-
