flower frenzy!

I have been trying to infuse my scrapbook room lately with lots of new products. The mailman delivered all of these yummy new flowers last week!! What is it about these scrapbook supplies that gets me so excited? Not completely sure why, but I do know that all of this newness gets the creative juices flowing for me. I have so many ideas swirling in my head that I'm finding it hard to concentrate, lol!! I have to say, Prima has really outdone themselves this time! There are so many different blossom options this release, and I even bought some of their gorgeous paper too! Anyway, I just wanted to share :o) And speaking of their gorgeous paper, I used the Madeline paper line on my new album below.

I will be listing this little beauty tonight on ebay and thought I would give you a little sneak peek! Sorry for the poor lighting on this photo... night shot in the scrapbook room, sigh. I will be taking the listing pictures today with an abundance of natural light! Check back tomorrow and I will post a few more photos and the link, or check ebay tonight. You can search under my team's name TWAG! Happy Tuesday everyone!!

can you tell...

... I am ready for Spring? I am thinking that my books lately show that, LOL! We had a few nice days of warm weather and then back to the freezing cold, sigh. Anyway, in my scrapbook room I have been feeling the warmth, smelling the flowers and hearing the birds sing :0) This is my lasted listing on ebay, you can see more photos here. This one has a bit of a shabby chic feel and I was thinking it would be perfect for Mother's Day!

Thought I would try another album with the lace all the way around the edge. I love the way that looks!!

I finally used some of my Pink Paislee Artisian elements. I have had them for awhile now and was excited to finally use them... I actually think I forgot I had them, lol. I just added the "Cherish" rub on to the top.

Some more charms (even more beautiful in person) and pins... have been loving the pins lately!!

The doilies are just so pretty and add such great texture. These are always my favorite pages!

Alright, I need to get dinner made for my family and then later into my scrapbook room for maybe another Spring inspired album, lol! Happy scrapping!!

something purple?

OK, well maybe this album is more lavender, but this is a first for me. I am not really the purple kind of girl, but bought this paper because I thought I needed something a little different. And I have to say, I really love it!

I had to stock up on some purple flowers and embellishments cause I really had none, lol! I love this big Prima blossom, yum :o) I picked up this purple ribbon by Martha Stewart on clearance... so beautiful in person!!

I have been obsessed with my pins lately! And have been buying up beads to make them like crazy!!

Lots of pinks and greens mixed in (two of my favorite colors). I added a few doilies in too... this page is so feminine, just makes me happy :o)

If you are interested you can see all the pictures up on ebay here!

Have a great weekend!!

the little things

It really is just the small things in life that make me happy. I have wanted to find a solution to this slider door since we moved in. We had the dreaded vertical blinds mainly because the back of our house gets so much sun in the afternoon. And in the summer in bakes the house! So I found these beautiful drapes at Target on clearance for a mere $7 a panel!! They are this plush velvet like fabric that goes great with our new sofa which is in our family room (just to the right of this picture). What a difference this makes (so wish I had a before picture, but I took the blinds down and then thought of that, sigh). Anyway, thought I would share my little happiness today :o)

Also, I just listed this album last night on ebay. I used the Basic Grey Curio paper line... really gorgeous paper and beautiful colors! This cameo pendant has been in my stash for a while... love the way it looks on the cover :o) If you are interested you can see all the picture here.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

warming up!

Well it is not spring here yet, but it was sunny and warmed up a bit yesterday! A far cry from last week... this is what my backyard looked like after the big snow. The girls loved it, but not our trees so much :o( We thought for sure that some of the branches were going to snap from all the heavy snow and ice. My ten year old thought she would help knock all the snow off these huge trees with her little broom, lol!! So sweet for trying!! Anyway, while I wait for the 70 degree weather, I have been staying indoors and scrapping. I just completed an album to list Wednesday or Thursday night on ebay. I used some new paper from Basic Grey called Curio which I have had in my stash for a few months now. Glad I finally had a chance to use it. As always Basic Grey has such beautiful paper!

Check out this little chunky mini if you are interested on ebay. Only a few more days left on this shabby chic love album!!

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the week!!

finally friday

Well, it has been a long week here at our house. The kids were off Monday and Tuesday for teacher professional days and then Wednesday, Thursday and yes again today, Friday, for snow! I love my girls dearly, but am in need of a quiet break, lol! I have been trying to fit some scrapping time in, but haven't gotten too far on my next book. Still deciding on paper and theme. I am thinking I could do one more love book before Valentines day. At any rate, I will be working this weekend and will have something to list on ebay early next week. Speaking of ebay... I am really proud of the album I have listed now, I posted a few photo below (see all the pictures here).

This one took me a great deal of time. Just the cover alone took hours to piece together! I love the lace that goes around the front and back cover. Not sure why I didn't think of that earlier!

This album is very chunky which I love, just full of lots of goodness :0) I am loving the beautiful little charm!


I used a combination of papers trying to get a vintage look. I also added some music notes paper another fave of mine!!

I put lots of gorgeous trim through out the album and added pearls to it one by one, lol!

Alright, I am going to get my girls occupied and escape to the scrapbook room :o)

Happy weekend!!

sweet Valentine listings

I have been busy crafting the last two weeks and using up all of my Valentines products. I seriously have been living in my craft room, lol! Just wanted to share the link to my current listings... the first is a mini album I made with Echo Park's Be Mine line, so in love with this paper :0) Love the colors too, I am so a pink kind of girl!! Here a few photos and you see the the entire album here.

This shabby chic "Forever" page is almost up on ebay (see more pictures here). Love the soft colors and the beautiful blossom, yum!! I have collected quite a few of the "around the edge" punches by Martha Stewart. I love the delicate look of this one!

I have a few more Valentine projects to squeeze in, so keeping watching! Happy scrapping!!
