Weekend Trip Pics

Thought I would share some pics of my trip to Cornerstone from this past weekend. This was my fourth trip there in three years. If you ever have a chance to go to a scrapbook retreat house....go! It was so much fun. Jennie, Rena and I went up on Thursday night and I really enjoyed the extra day!

Me and Rena:

Here is the whole group. Do you think we have enough stuff!? LOL

And look what arrived on Friday afternoon for me! My super sweet husband sent me roses with a card that says how much he misses me but hoped I was having fun. What a good guy! Ted does something like this every year. It is either a card in my scrapping stuff or suitcase or special snacks that he knows I like. But this year he went above and beyond. All the girls called their husbands to ask where their flowers were! I'm sure the husbands weren't too pleased with Ted. LOL

I'll be back soon with some of my projects I created from the trip. Have a good day!

April Deals of the Month....

Hello. Just got back from my trip. It was wonderful. I will do a post about it soon but I wanted to hop on to tell you what is happening this month at the Bakery. This month instead of a kit of the month with a designer (which we will resume in May), I decided to offer a promotion to do some spring cleaning. 3 kits at 50% off. So go check it out to see which kits. They will not last long.

Oh, before I forget. Thanks for all your tips about packing. They helped. :)

And the winner of the prize (which by the way is a medley of the three kits: bits and pieces from each kit combined) goes to....

have fun! I seriously bring a cropper hopper and stick papers in there. I also try to make pre-planned pages and put all the things I need in the planner.Also, I bring my binder of sketches in case I get stuck!I also have one of those organizer tool totes, like the kind you can get from M's and I put all my tools and necessities in there so all my stuff is right next to me.

Coming up for air...

I can't believe it is after ten o'clock and I am not just getting to post on my blog. Sigh. Today has been one busy day and I can't stop. I need to pack because I am going to Cornerstone this weekend with some friends. So, I am keeping this post short and the fun at the Bakery will have to wait until I come home on Sunday. Just not enough hours in the day.

But let's have some fun anyway. Post a comment and I will draw a winner on Sunday when I get home. Tell me your best tip when trying to pack up all of your scrappin' supplies for a trip or a crop...

Night.

Scrappin' Weekend

Okay, so I didn't scrapbook the whole weekend but almost. lol Friday night I worked on finishing up two books for a client. 46 layouts total! I'm done now! :) Saturday, my sister and I went to a Creating Keepsakes Convention in Louisville and did some scrapbook shopping. Yesterday, I met up with Shane to do some scrapbooking and got a lot of cards done. I will show them to you soon but here is one I did for the Hero Arts Blog challenge last week. The challenge was to create a window. I made a window so you could see the gift card inside...

Doesn't that ribbon look like ketchup? :)

Gotta run. Have a lot on my to-do list today but be sure to check back on Wednesday. I have something fun for the Bakery and here on the blog during the month of April. You don't want to miss it...

It's Official!

This proud step-mom just wanted to share that Alex got his temps today!

Dawn McVey's Color Challenge #1 and a Video

I was very excited to see that Dawn was starting color challenges! I decided to play along with these fun colors:

Lovin' that bedspread from Pottery Barn! Here is my card inspired by these colors...

I decided to stamp with white, acrylic paint instead of regular ink and rough up the edges with sandpaper and white paint to give it a distressed look. I also decided to do a video about stamping with acrylic paint! I liked the look of this card, so I made another one with the same design but more masculine colors. You can see the video HERE.

Supplies:
Stamp and Pearls: Hero Arts
Rub-on Greeting: Stampin' Up
White Paint: Making Memories

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great Monday!

5 Favorite Things

Thought I would share some of my favorite things right now....

1. I am really lovin' Cosmo Cricket products lately. Well made products. I just purchased THIS collection and made this card with some of the scraps from a project I am working on...

2. I am really lovin' my son's music. Alex had another gig on Friday night. I am so proud of him. He did really good. You can go HERE to see videos of the gig and listen to some of their songs. You must listen to RUSTED SWORD. It is only instrumentals, but it really showcases their talent. (P.S. They changed their band name from Impulsive to Winter Rising.)

3. I am really lovin' THIS place. I ate there for the first time tonight and it was YUMMY!

4. I am really lovin' that the Twilight DVD came out this weekend. I have watched it more times than I would like to admit! :)

5. I am really lovin' the cover of THIS song.

What are you lovin' right now?
