Finally Started!

The 2005 Cruise Album. I'm determined to get this finished before we go on another one later this year. Thanks to my "sister" Amy for the Jolee's cruise ship for the title page.

Explosion Box

Some of my "sisters" and I worked on these explosion boxes last night. Once I got started, it was very easy to make. It is a project I will do again. I haven't done alot of embellishing on this yet, because I don't know if I will give it away or use it myself. I loved the papers I used. All the printed ones were from the My Mind's Eye Simply delightful paper pad purchased at Hobby Lobby.

Valentine Class

This double layout is the result of a February class at my LSS. We used the Pink Paislee product line. I'm not sure of the names of the papers though. I loved the red & gold glittered chipboard letters. They don't show up well in the pictures, but they do on the actual page. I followed the design demonstrated by the teachers, but if I was doing it again I probably would have pulled out some of the journal squares that were layered on the left page to actually use to journal. I felt the left side layering was a bit much for me. I want all my cute stuff to show! Our next class is 2 weeks from today using Basic Greys Origins line with a layout called "Lucky Me".

How Can This Be?

My oldest son, Tommy, turned 21 on January 23rd. We met him and his girlfriend Katie in Oklahoma City and went out to eat at a Japanese Steakhouse: Yamato. Yum! Recommendation: Pay the $5.95 to split the entree!
