Sara Turned 18 and TPE Pink Card

Well I can now say that I am the mother of an 18 year old daughter. Time is going by so quickly. My girls are growing up so fast. I am so proud of all of them. Sara has accomplished so much this year. She has been recently accepted to Kean college to study to become a math teacher. Very Exciting! She is also in high honors for the second marking period in a row! She holds down 2 part-time jobs while attending high school and also tutors 1 day a week. She is a hard worker and deserves the best in life!

She was listing all the things she can now do as an 18 year old and buying lottery tickets was won of the fun ones for her. Too bad she didn't win. I made her birthday card using her favorite color pink and zebra stripes. (She loved it!) Today mom and I are taking Sara to Empire City Casino in Yonkers, we all can't wait to have a fun-filled day together!

Pink Elephant Sketch Challenge/Card for Kelly

I made this card for my cousin Kelly who turned 40 yesterday. I thought it would cheer her up in a funny way. Thanks to the DT at The Pink Elephant for the sketch challenge. You can find their link to the right in the side bar. They always have great challenges and their creations rock!

Hershey Nugget Purse and Mini Clipboard for Emma

I love these mini Valentine Treats - You can find my info on them at:
http://scrapourstash.blogspot.com/


This mini clipboard measures approx 2 x 3 inches. Emma said it was her clipboard so when I altered it for a dt challenge at http://scrapbookingcraftingfriends.ning.com/group/dtprojectarea/forum/topics/mini-project-division-theme
I made sure I put her name on it. She put a tiny picture of her and Sara on it. :)

Believe in Yourself

I love Rusty Pickle's Pirate Princess line! I did a smoosh album and this layout so far. I will post pictures of the smoosh album in a few days. I love this picture of Victoria with the added chipboard crown and bling. She is a princess in her own way! (not too girlie) The preprinted journaling reads: Don't call me a goddess, don't call me a Queen, just call me the cutest lil Princess you've ever seen. - so cute!

Now and Then

I created this layout using pictures of Kelly and I from late 80's and 2009. It is to remind me of how close we are and no matter how many miles are between us, we will always be there for each other. Kelly and I scrapped for 9 days when she came to visit over Thanksgiving week. We stayed at my mom's house and trashed her dining room but we had fun. My girls even joined in with us a few times. My mom and Aunt Adeline sat at the table with us the first day, Kelly and I scrapped and they crocheted. We spent so much time running around shopping, visiting and getting ready for Thanksgiving but it did not interfere with our good time together and scrapping!



I altered these peace signs that I got from Deb at Say It With Letters. http://sayitwithletters.blogspot.com/ They were alot of fun to work with. I painted the edges inside and out and scrapped them with very strong instructions from my girls on what paper to use. They will each hang them in their room. Thanks again Deb!

New Layouts

Kelly has an album called ScrapLift This and I finally got to do a layout in it. The layout on the left is Kelly's and the one on the right is my version.

These were pictures that I took on the first day of school.

I made this layout for Angel, Kelly's daughter, for her new scraproom in her new apartment. I took these pictures of Sara and Angel in August at Gene's benefit.
