8x8 Breast Cancer Album

So this is what I have been working on for the past 4 days! This is a gift to inspire a fellow crafter in her fight against Breast Cancer!

FINALLY CLEAN!!

So I started cleaning up the mess and as you can see, Little Bear was seriously not interested in helping me! LOL!

I FINALLY GOT MY NEW PINK BUG OPENED AND OUT!!! I LOVE HER!!! Thank you so much Laurie for the trade!!

So after two days of working...of course I did have to do a few other things...I AM FINALLY READY TO WORK!!

SO tonight I am planning on getting some crafting done!!!

So I woke up on Friday morning and wanted to get moving on some crafting that I need to get done and this is what I walked into! UGH! Man a messy room really sucks your MOJO! So I figured I'd better clean it up!

Got a day to go into the city! We went to the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower)! It was amazing! 103 stories!

At the top you look out over the city of Chicago and far beyond! It was a beautiful clear day (slight haze), but gorgeous none the less!

CHA was a blast. I didn't take many photos. I am going to have to get a few from my friend Teresa! She has lots of good ones. Megan has same fab ones too!

It was great making new friends---HI GENNA!!

Already looking forward to some great things for the second half of the year. Got some cool ideas for our booth in LA!

Traveling and Prepping for CHA!

Well we are here in Chicago. Megan and I have been playing Beauty Parlor...as Tracy has said! LOL! Megan painted my toes with Cricut Heads. She also highlighted my hair for me!! SHE IS A GREAT STYLIST!! I will show a photo of my new color tomorrow!

We left Florida at 7pm Sunday night. We decided to drive straight through! I got about 4 hours of sleep on and off in the van. It took a little over 18 hours to get here.

I wanted to share a few of the sights from the drive.

This is a wind farm! It was TOTALLY COOL! There were 100s of these windmills and more were being built.

This is the sunrise in Indiana. So beautiful!!

The sunset leaving Florida!!

Layouts from my crop

Here are three layouts that I completed at a crop I went to this week. It felt good to get some layouts done. I have been working non-stop on GIBBS (a secret sister type swap), that I have hardly had time to put any photos of my own onto some pages!

I love this pink layout. I used the Slice to cut the swinging bassinet, title and numbers all from the Nursery Rhyme disc.

This layout I used the Slice for the title and the flower.

This layout is using rub-ons and some accents from Memory Makers that I purchased at Big Lots for $1.00. The large yellow piece in the center is cut with the Cricut using the Once Upon a Princess cartridge.

All Cracked Up

I made Becca a cute little Toilet Paper Mini-Album. It is packed with jokes, one-liners and comics that are all scrapbooking related. I hope this CRACKS her up!!

I also sent her some peanuts to "crack in to" while she is reading.

Twilight Swap-Thanks Tiara

Today my Twilight package arrived from Tiara. It is packed with lots of really cool things. Several notepads, a jewelry box, some chocolates, lots of cuts, an really cute calendar, a frame, a mini album, a bracelet and a bunch of cuts. GREAT JOB! I want to thank Tiara for all the hard work she put into this swap. I hope she likes the things I sent her!!

LOVE BITES!

Had a great day today scrapping with my friend Heidi. I got a few layouts done! It was a good day!

Here is the first layout:

I used a free flyer I picked up from Joann's as a sketch for this one.

The solid paper is Bazzill. The printed paper is from Creative Imagination. I used the Pooh Font Cricut cartridge to cut Bites. The little dog is a Cuttlebug Kids die. The paw is from American Traditional Designs. The fire hydrant is chipboard from Die Cuts With a View. I used Versa Magic Midnight Black ink for all the edges that are inked.
