So today is my 35th birthday! I'm not doing much but my DH is taking me somewhere this evening...it's a surprise and I love surprises!!

I'm off to do my mommy duty now...maybe I'll be back later with some cards I am trying to whip up.

A bad photo of some HERO cards I made

I am so bummed I have been having camera trouble for about a month. Of course, this happens now! My baby girl just turned one year old and she just started toddling around without the help of furniture and I try to get pictures and wouldn't you know, my camera is busted?!$&!!

Oh well, I will put that on the "Much Needed" items list. I did take a picture of ten Hero cards I made (albeit a crappy photo) that I put together yesterday. I plan on writing a note inside and sending these cards in a shipment for OperationWriteHome. I'm also planning on hosting a very small card making get together at my home on Sun Sept 12th for some girl time and card making for our troops. I will probably make some card kits with a Halloween theme using my new Mini Monsters cart. I am seriously considering doing something on my blog that day as well since it is a birthday bash for OWH. Would anyone like to join me??

Gotta support our troops!!

Two Layouts

Here are a couple of layouts I've completed in the last few days. I am trying to take better photos of my layouts but this is it for now. I'm going to add my journaling in the next few days.

Enjoy!

'Princess' Single Page LO for Momo's Tuesday Challenge

Here is a stunning and simple LO I made of my youngest daughter for Momo's Tuesday Challenge. I'm working on posting a video of this LO in the near future. I got the idea of this LO from Archivers last summer. I took a picture with my camera phone (bottom picture). What do you think?

Here is another picture of Alicia the Strawberry Pirate.

I have redone my craft room and hope to have a new video of it up later today. I'll keep you posted!

Alicia the Strawberry Pirate

Here is a card I made with Alicia the gorgeous pirate girl from Kratin' Kimmie. I've been trying to get this card from my thoughts onto a card for about 4 - 6 weeks.

As you all know, I'm a confirmed TV addict so I conceptualized this card after an episode of Real Housewives of NY. If any of you get this inside joke, please comment. Even if you don't 'get' the joke, comment. I love to read them!

TFL!

Hello again!

I am finally back in my little world of reality. We returned home from Hilton Head, SC early early Sunday morning after spending a whopping 16 hrs in the car! It is normally a 12 hr trip but thanks to a 2 1/2 hour wait in construction traffic in NC and several roadside potty breaks we finally stumbled in at 1:30am. Let me tell ya, I felt like a zombie!

I have already made a double LO and a single LO for our vacation scrapbook. I will post pics after I take some with my (new to me) camera. My Mom and I switched cameras because she doesn't like hers anymore. Fine with me - hers is newer and it is a Nikon CoolPix.
