Sketch is from Scrapbook Generation Volume8 

My husband and colleagues party like rock stars, okay maybe mild ones.  We had so much fun, started out in our room.  I love how they have become friends.  This is our night of fun!

My sister and niece came to visit with us and my sister was behind the camera, so I am in some of these shots.  

I thought of using pinks or red with these hearts, but I really liked this paper from Stampin Up and it would be nice to change it up some.

Saturday Family Layout

Afternoon everyone, a beautiful day today sunshine, warm temps...I have my windows open to let in some fresh air.  Was a good day at home doing a bit of house stuff, I came in my craft room to finish my layout I started two days ago, it just needed to be stuck down.  

This is again my niece, her husband and family, they sent us a nice photo collage at Christmas time and I thought I would cut each picture out and maybe make a bigger collage, not exactly how I pictured it in my head, but for the most part it worked.  I love the Bo Bunny line it is called Timepiece, and it just works for me. Thanks for stopping and seeing what I've come up with today.  Have a great day, and Happy Crafting!

Supplies: Paper~Bo Bunny-Timepiece.  Accessories~Charms, Bo Bunny Trinkets, Brads, Tim Holtz, Spellbinders.

BoBunny is one of my favorite paper companies, there isn't too many that I don't go...ohhhh awww over, and again this is one of them.

Thanks for stopping by and again, I can't find a challenge to enter this in, maybe I need to find some sources to look for me.  I can find the card ones, just not scrapbooking ones, I am just lost in where to look.   

 Happy Crafting!

National Scrapbook Day

Hello Saturday, that was a cool day I went and helped out at our local scrapbook store for "National Scrapbook Day" . It was pretty fun. We had three tables set up, oops four one for the kids too! We had Make N' Takes, door prizes, sales, discounts. I demonstrated one cool tool. I will give you the site to check out. It was a fun day, and great seeing everyone out and enjoying the weekend that was full of events. Thanks for sharing in a great day.

The tool I demonstrated was from We R Memory Keepers, "The Cinch", we made a little journal, very cute, every one there had fun making this. Simple easy machine for making coil bound albums-books.

Then one table was for the Copics, and we showcased the versatility of the "Copic Markers", with a card. Sure a hit with many. This is my new favorite past time, the new IN thing. I love it, I could color all the time.

There was the "Embossing Folders Plus" by Provo Craft , these are new, they are metal and they emboss and cut at the same time, very cool they are. Will be investing in them soon also...wink, wink!!

There was a card using the Mistables Canvas Sheets from "Prima Marketing" and we showcased the "Glimmer Mist" by Tattered Angels. Was a hit too.

I only got to make the journal, but you can always go and check these products out and I do hope you had a fun "National Scrapbook Day" in your area. Happy Craftn'!

3x3 Albums

Good Evening, I thought I should put these little albums I made, my sister was here last weekend, and she showed me how to make these. Her friend showed her. Very fun! I am giving one to my Mom on Mother's Day. I put all her Great-Grandchildrens Pictures in there. She can put it in her purse, like a Grandma Brag book. Then I liked it so much I made me one too. For the Great-Nieces and Great-Nephews of mine.

Thanks for stopping, and I am sure you will be back tomorrow for the great Challenge at 4 Crafty Chicks that I am hosting....fun stuff. Have a great evening.

It was fun, as Brian just tilted his head at the right time. He was being silly just before that though, like normal. I am not completely finished with these, I have the hinges for them yet, and then I will take another shot of them. Anyway, have a great night. Do something you like, and stay warm.
