Christmas Scrapbooking

Hope 2013 is going well for you all so far. I have been in scrapbook heaven creating lots of pages. It's been a while since I have done this but it felt so good. Also, since I had so much Christmas patterned paper left, it felt nice to use some of it up.

These pages center around Christmas trees.  We enjoy decorating our tree but we saw some spectacular ones on our vacation. So sit back and enjoy the trees.


 
I used Anna Griffin patterned paper on all these layouts.  Also used my Lucky 8 paper puncher to create the dollies.
 
 
Love making these flowers with my Spellbinder dies.
 
Hand cut the berry stem and frame.

Love the weaving at the top.
 
 
I used K & Co frame, hand cut the flowers and distressed the white with brown ink.


I must tell you about this "Giant Beauty" Christmas Tree. For a few years, I have been wanting to see this tree. I was so excited to finally see it and it was spectacular! I found out it is the tallest Christmas tree in the USA.  When I stood next to the presents they were almost as tall as me. Geez! Here is a website about this beauty. Fashion Island Christmas Tree

Now That I am finished with these scrapbook layouts, I want to make some more. LOL! Maybe I will get some new pictures and ideas soon.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Our Romantic Anniversary Dinner

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great.  Today I wanted  to share some of our wedding anniversary pictures with you.  Last Sunday, my hubby arranged for us to have a romantic dinner at the very place where we had our wedding reception.  I was so excited when I found out that they set up a table for us to have the whole banquet room to ourselves.  How great was that??? The restaurant is right on the bay and has the most spectacular  views.  So when we arrived they had a table set up for us right by the windows so we could get an even better view.  They had the rest of the room set up for an event but I still could remember how it looked the night of our wedding with the lights and the dance floor.  Plus the left side of the room is nothing but windows so you can see more of this secluded bay. So as we dined we watched the sunset and it was so fabulous.  Even at night all the lights from the surroundin...

Happy Hearts

Today I will be sharing one a several painting I recently finished. This one is one of my favorites. I wanted to try two faces and just love how they turned out. It was fun going crazy with the multi-colored background. The hearts were made using my new favorite thing to make from toilet paper rolls- STAMPS.  I saw them on Julie Balzer's blog. Toilet Paper Tube Stamps  Then I used my fingers to paint the inside of the hearts. So neat! Take a look and I hope you feel the love and joy in this piece. Aren't the afro's fabulous!!! LOL! They were my first try and look pretty darn good. The little girls afro puff is so cute and reminds me of the ones I had as a child.   I love the hearts on their clothes. I used my stencil to make the design then painted around just to show the insides. Hope you enjoyed and come back this week to see some other paintings. Have a good one!

Cupcakes Anyone?

Happy Fall! Last Summer I took a cupcake decorating class at Michael's and I loved it. It was really great to learn the basics. This was all new to me and I was excited to try it out.  All Summer I wanted to make more but the weather got too hot to bake so I had to wait. Finally we had a break with some cooler temps and I was able to get back to these yummy treats.   I made two of my favorite colors: happy sunny yellow and hot pink. Oh, and they tasted good too.        Have you tried cupcake or cake decorating before? Isn't it like art? Maybe that is why I love it. Now I can't wait to make some more. Thanks for stopping by!
