Actually when I first started scrapbooking I didn’t scraplift (copy the design or elements of an existing layout) at all. I just did whatever. Now that I have my own loose style I find it easier to look at other people’s work for inspiration and not loose my style in theirs. I pulled out my …

This and That
-what a day around here. I had a very upset toddler who was not telling me why she was upset. This is rare, I usually get a lot of signing on her wants/needs. -Finally in the evening we had the double combo of grandma coming over and getting her to eat (exactly what I had …
The Beach
We had a great weekend. Saturday we picked up Sarah and headed to the coast. Tuesday spots the big water (her sign for water is a finger by her mouth… she can’t quite make the “w” sign). For some reason the water was quite nasty, lots of foam, so she wasn’t able to play in …
I can’t seem to stop myself…
Just a few more layouts to share. My sewing machine has been getting a little tune up and will be coming home tomorrow, so maybe I’ll switch it up and sew this weekend. But for now… An 8 1/2 by 11 landscape, totally mixing it up. Actually I stamped on a 12×12 piece of paper …

Hotness and a vintage layout
At my birthday party a few of us were talking about the dorm I was in my sophomore year. It was a cool old dorm with huge bathrooms that had separate toilet/sink & locker/shower & bath rooms. In the main area of the bathroom, the sink & locker area my friend and I started a …
Turning the focus in
Ok I have to admit to a little chill in the air, despite my reluctance to let summer go. Of course when this happens and more time is spent inside I start thinking about tweaking things here and there. My living room is the next on my list. It looks pretty good here with lots …
