Release Party/Bridal Shower Tonight!


I just received my bridesmaid dress for Sarah's wedding--isn't it gorgeous? The color is called Flutter Azure and I just love it. I will have to let out the seams a little though! (Don't tell anyone, ok?)

The bridal shower is tonight--it's being combined with the release party for the Moments in Lace stamp set from Clear Artistic Stamps.

Time: 8pm Central

Location: Chat Room and Forum (2 locations!)

And what would a bridal shower be without games and prizes? There are lots of Fantastic prizes available at tonight's release, especially if you are a Shimmerz fan! If you go to the Cottage Studio you will see one of the games--hint: it has something to do with my bridesmaid dress! At the forum there are also some games that are already up for you to play.

So have fun, and I will see you tonight.

Disney Beauties


I promised more Disney scrapbook pages, and so today I deliver with the one above. The layout is from Splitcoast SBSC172. The papers are Prima-The Harmony Collection, and aren't they gorgeous? The black rub-ons are from The Paper Studio, and I don't know the source of the journaling transparency.

My next page will revolve around how to tell the difference between Chip and Dale--I got the information from the two chipmunks themselves! Stay tuned.

Happy Sunday! Go Eagles!

Save the Date


This is my card for this weeks sketch challenge SC210 from SplitCoast Stampers. I used a new stamp set to be released on January 20th from Clear Artistic Stamps. I just love these papers from Stampin' Up. The colors and designs are so eye-catching and versatile.

On my sidebar I added an new little mood gadget that I first found on Kim's blog. It's so cute that I just had to add one myself.


I took the above photo on Christmas morning--it's looking out my glass door where some steam had frozen into a real cool pattern. My poor dog didn't stay out for very long!

The First WDW Page

I printed out a bunch of pictures from our trip to Walt Disney World last month, and last night sat down to make my first page:


I got some 2008 Disney papers and embellishments at a store in Downtown Disney. I also found a set of clear Disney stamps on clearance at Hobby Lobby. Turns out the quality wasn't too good, and the ink beaded up on the polymer, giving me blotchy images. So I rubbed a pencil eraser over the polymer, which made the images come out much better. I've never had to do that before--I guess I'm just spoiled by the good quality stamps that I normally get from other companies!

Anyway, there are MANY more Disney pages to come.

Have a good Thursday--I hope your Thursday will be warmer than mine!
