A Scrappin' Happy Time

I have been very busy, as I'm sure most of you have, the past few weeks. We really enjoyed the holidays this year! Very little emphasis was put on the commercial aspects of gifts and decorations but rather just making time to spend a few hours with family and friends. It was quite nice, indeed! And, as usual, I spent many hours with my scrapbooks on the computer. I now have over thirty photo books completely finished and ready for printing! I am so proud of them and have much more I hope to get done this year. It may be foolish to some but I guess I view it all as my legacy... something to leave to my kids and grandchildren when I have left this earthly world... I don't want them to forget me, lol!

I have really been working hard on heritage pages but then a new kit will be released, and I drop everything to start a brand new project! That darn ole Rina gets me every time! Such is the case with her newest collection, WHISPERS OF WINTER Of course Rina has a page kit complete with beautiful papers and lots of elements but in her typical fashion, she has not stopped there. This week she has added to the SBE store: borders, accent clusters, frame clusters and stacked papers - just tons of gorgeous stuff! I really do not have very many snow pictures BUT my Grandson was in a wedding last year that had a winter theme complete with snowmen and snowflakes....there is another album in the making! Indulge me please, and I will show you what I have done so far...

You really must run over to the SBE store and check out all of the WHISPERS OF WINTER COLLECTION by RINA KROES to create pages for your own winter wonderland! Plus, its all on sale!
See you soon!

In Memoriam Collection

Anyone who has lost a loved one knows how much they cherish them and want to preserve their memory. Putting together a Memory Album is one way of remembering them, now and for future generations. Rina and Kimberly have come together in bringing you the "In Memoriam" collection that exemplifies gentleness in strength. Inside this large collection you will find a myriad of embellishments and papers that are suitable for both softly feminine and more rugged masculine pages. It is delicate and sensitive, yet strong and thoughtful. The colors are peaceful, yet with an intensity that gives them strength. You will be able to choose from a number of color combinations: from crisp silvery white and lavender, to the soft glow of gold leaf and sky blue, from warm caramel and taupe to shades found in nature, and finally to accent colors of scarlet red, navy blue and dark purple. Often times our emotions are still very raw from our loss and we may find it difficult to draw on our own c

Hump Day with Teen Tude

Wednesday is Hump Day:and we are half-way through the week. We here in the USA are looking forward to a big holiday weekend, the 4th of July! I am sure my sons will take their kids to one of the fireworks shows in the area, and we always have a family cook-out at my brothers house. I still have to try to get my stuff together for the big yard sale my DILs are having on Saturday. But today, my husband and a few of his friends are meeting here to finish putting up the big 100 ft CB antennae tower for his "Bull Creek Sub-Station! He loves to talk and there is always a listening audience for his foolishness on the CB. That is about the only hobby he has, lol! For me, my love of digi-scrapping led me last night to double-check and finish some of the photo books I have to make sure they are ready for printing. I added a couple of slide shows from these projects over on the right side of my blog so I hope you take the time to peek at them. I can't wait to actually see these

Bells of St Clements

“Oranges and lemons… The Bells of St Clements…”. The words of this old English singing game identified the church bells in and around London and are the inspiration behind Rina’s “Bells of St Clements” collection. Full of juicy fruity freshness in citrus shades of cream, lemon yellow, orange and lime green, this collection is sure to become a summer favorite. As part of the Door Buster Event , there will be some new coordinates for Rina's new (soon to be released) kit that are priced for only $1 or $2 !!! I have loved playing with this beautiful kit! Here are some layouts I have finished today. This is a special page I made for my DS#2 and his lovely wife! I love you guys and wish you only the best which life has to offer!!! Thank you for stopping my blog today and here is a freebie I made for you from the layout above. ***SORRY-NO LONGER AVAILABLE***
