Spring Fling

The Spring Fling Cybercrop is starting over at The School of Scrap, so come check it out! It will be a week long event full of fun, chatting, scrapping challenges, games, prizes, and more!

I also wanted to post a photo of the four of us this Easter... the little patch of daisies out in my parents' front yard was just TOO perfect a canvas for this picture!

Club Scrap

Wow, wow, wow!!! Are you a member at Club Scrap? Well, I had the wonderful opportunity to work with their February 2007 Refresh kit, as they are our ever-so-generous sponser at The School of Scrap.
Here are a few of my layouts using this FABULOUS kit. It has high-quality textured cardstock both solid and printed, jewelry-quality beads, sequins, stamps, tons of ribbon, and MORE! Please do check them out at www.clubscrap.com and let them know you heard about them at The School of Scrap!

Hot Off The Press

We are so lucky to have had our generous sponsor, Hot Off The Press at The School of Scrap for the month of March. Here are some layouts I did using the Vintage paper pad. It's such a hot little pad, the vintage papers are all distressed, plus all the cute embellies (tags, flowers, and even ribbon slides) all come right in the pad! I have TONS more paper and embellies left in this pad, and can't wait to do more with it! You can find their products at www.paperwishes.com! Take a look!

Free School Bucks!!!

Woohoo! The School Bucks are flyin' over at The School of Scrap! Come join in the fun! If you post a comment here in my blog, you will get ten School Bucks from me just for posting a comment! Now how does that sound?

Focus on Stamping and Basic Grey!

So we just finished our Focus on Stamps week at The School of Scrap. It was a blast! Here's one of the layouts I did last week! I stamped the background, stamped with ink, paint, and bleach. Stamped on paper, ribbon, chipboard and OVER paint. It was fun to use my stamps so much on ONE layout!

I also just got this layout posted in the Basic Grey Gallery today! I'm psyched!

Check it out!

I LOVE Spring!

Ok, so it's not really spring. But the last few days here have certainly FELT like spring! A huge and wonderful change from the snow we had a couple weeks ago! I'm so OVER the whole guilt thing of Charli not getting use out of her million dollar winter wardrobe... she can wear it next year, too! So today I got the thumbs up from Jeff to buy a few spring things for her! We got some DARLING stuff from Gymboree and GAP kids. The rest of her wardrobe will have to be from Target, Kohl's (though I haven't shopped their yet!) and Old Navy!

More importantly, the kids and I have been spending time OUTSIDE again, and it feels SOooo good! We've been exercising, exploring, running stairs, and taking caterpillars to turn into butterflies! At least THiS year, we know what their host plant is so we can feed them properly! Here's a photo!

Fly

I did this page a couple weeks ago, but it's still one of my current faves. This was Jack's last day at the little gym. Man, he loved that place, even though sometimes he said he didn't want to go. He would bounce and skip around the entire time... all happy signs! Charli adored it, too! I would LOVE to sign them back up soon!

Yesterday was my birthday! It was a glorious, sunny day! I took the kids to a nearby ranch, and we fed carrots to the horses! We'll definitely be going back soon! My parents, my sister, and her boyfriend came over in the evening for pizza, cake, and presents! It was a great day! Also, today is my day to be in the classroom... I think one of the other Moms is bringing tadpoles and a dissecting microscope so the kids can see their (the tadpoles!) little hearts beating and stuff! I'm so excited! I LOVE being in the classroom!
