happy scrappy news-yay!



I’ve had the total pleasure to get crafty for my local scrapbooking store, Scrappy Boutique, who has gone web and create fun scrapbook pages and creations for their new Product Sampler kits. I may or may not have squealed with delight when they asked me to design some pages for them… ok so I totally freaked out! EEK!
Basically in a nut shell you get a sample of the new products released by various awesome paper lines plus additional little coordinating bobbles and bits to make your creations one of a kind. Brilliant if you ask me.
The first kit I dove into was the new Glitz Designs Color Me Happy line. I immediately fell in love the bright colours and fun elements and designs. So bright. So fun.




In the paper selection there are two sheets of cut out tags that work perfectly with Project Life. How perfect is that?

I was able to use one sheet for my Week 5 spread which helped spread out the backside of the other paper for another week which I am currently behind on. Story of my life…but hey it’s my life and my story and I’m okay with that.

The second kit I had the pleasure to play with was the other line by Glitz called Uncharted Waters. Looove this one!

This photo was from last year’s family reunion at Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina. Man I love that beach.
With this kit I also created an itty mini album using more of the kit and a whole lotta punches. Who knew an itty mini could leave such a big mess? I will post more details of this little gem with a tutorial on how to make an itty mini shortly. Pinky promise!

hello there

So you know that moment when I haven't seen someone in what seems like a really long time so you get all excited and say ,"Hey!!!" "Hey!!!" then you realize that you really haven't done anything new or different so you have nothing else to say.....................yeh................
Ooo but one thing that I've been occupying my rather scarce free time with is Becky Higgin's Project Life. I never thought I would ever be organized enough to do it but it's actually quite easy.
Since I'm already a Mommarazzi all I have to really have to do is write down my daily thoughts and jots. I don't journal a ton, just a few highlights of the day each day. Then I figure which pics I want to use that week and map them out. That way when it comes to putting it all together I already have little sketches to work with and it goes nice and smooth. :)
I started this a little late in the year but I'm considering this like a trial run and so far I'm making plans to continue this next year. I have a pipe dream to back track the previous months and get them done for this year but I'm not holding my breath. My #1 rule I made for myself is to not stress over it because if I do then I wouldn't continue so no stress. It's working so far.

Not much else going on right now other than getting Miss Maribel ready for Kindergarten.
But I'm not quite ready to go there just yet.......
