Precious & New Friend ;)

Hello again!!

First I have to tell you something! I met up to scrap with Flower! First time we met... Now, I was nervous... but wow!! She is not only a gorgeous person inside, but outside too!! She has the most gorgeous hair I have ever seen!! LOL Kinda red, but subtle... And it's natural!! LOL Anyhow, she is super nice! And SOOOO Talented! I think I watched her work more than I worked... You would think stamping and making a card is a simple 1-2-3 process... NO! Stamping in itself is an art! I would not have the patience to ensure that the stamp turned out as perfect!! And the color of the ink... and then paper, embellies, ribbons... and then there is finding a quote!!
Just remember, you see those cards - next time, leave them a comment!! Learn to appreciate the amount of work and thought put into those masterpieces!! Stamping - card making - is a TRUE art! And a passion... I know I have found a new respect towards these artists... It isn't as simple as it looks... FLOWER - I had a great time, and next time, we will take the time to eat!! LOL

Here is a page on Jessica - again! lol

the right side of the page was cut by hand... not much too say!! Except I just LOVE this picture of my little precious Jessica!! TFL!!

Paper Loft Kit - Home Sweet Home

Hello!!

I received my first kit from the CHALET!!! It is sooo gorgeous! I received tons of paper, ribbons, stickers with quotes, stickers with borders, chipboard alpha, flowers, cardstock… UNREAL!!

You have to join the CHALET!! So much fun!! Besides, if you have been reading my blog, there is a GREAT contest coming up!! $250 prize in supplies!! Let them know Vanilla sent you!! ;)

So here is my first page… I chose this theme because the quotes received referred to “home” and I wanted to have fun with it… Isn’t it true that house is home when it is filled with love – loved ones?? Hope you like this!! Quite challenging to create with someone else’s chosen supplies! Harder than you would think… LOL
Little different style for me – but I had a great time!!

Love this April Kit!! I am already on my 3rd page and 1 altered item… still have more paper to work with!! I have been on a roll… Guess it’s cause I stole my friend Jeanne’s MOJO!! LOL I will be posting more this week…

Everything is from the kit except; beads, Distress Ink (Ranger), Dominoes ("sweet home") Alcohol Inks (Ranger) and MM Rub-ons…

Challenge & I've been tagged!!

At the Chalet, Christy Tomlinson stoped by for a chat!! Great time!! She was kind enough to give us girls a challenge...


Create a layout with the theme
betcha didn't know...
Then I want you to list at least 6 things people don't know about you. It can be more if you like.

layout size: 9x9
layout colors: Pick 3 colors you wouldn't normally scrapbook together or just ones you don't scrapbook often enough.



And...
I've been tagged by Sollie!! ... so I'll give it a try.

1. Find the nearest book...

2. Name the book and the author: The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown (ever hear of it??!?!? lol)

3. Turn to page 123

4. Go to the 5th sentence on the page & copy out the next 3 sentences onto your blog.
(only 2 sentences...) Hedging his bets, he ordered half of his men back to the Louvre perimeter. The other half he sent to guard the only location in Paris where Robert Langdon culd find safe harbor.

5. Tag 3 more people; Naturally I have chosen my fav girls of all time!! Wish I could have picked about 10... ;)

Jeanne
