A new layout for Graphic45

I absolutely love to layer!  And the paper lines at Graphic45 just scream "CUT ME"!
 

Our Holiday Weekend, sharing some pics!

I just loved this at the parade...our county commissioners in the slammer!  No COMMENT!

 

We had some race cars....

 

My youngest daughter (in the red) with the B & G Club

 

Mariah and her bestest friend in the parade...

 

My hubby assuming his position...

 

And some serious boat racing on the river...

 

And the carnival, need I say more?

Are you afraid of cutting paper, does it make you nervous?

If you are check out this great article on how to get over the fear of cutting that beautiful patterned paper and see how easy it is!

Here is the layout that we are using for the article.  It is the Just Chillin' line from Making Memories and the perfect compliment for my "rocker chick"!

Don't forget to check out my fun little notepad at Banana Frog Stamps

This rubber stamp set was such a blast to work with as the guest designer for Banana Frog Stamps.  Thank you Beverley, it was a blast to be a part of it.

My very first altered matchbox! And A RAK to give away!

So what is with this new phenomenon?  Altered matchboxes.  How fun, so I had to try and of course use some of my gorgeous Graphic45 stash!  Hope you like it.

 

I even made some mini ATC cards to go with it.  It is so cute, so easy to do too!  Give it a try.  Post a comment on this post and you may be chosen randomly to win an "Altered Matchbox" kit with Graphic45 papers and lots of little mini goodies to go inside.

Good News, and Happy National Scrapbooking Day

First of all, thank you to everyone for your well wishes.  Our boy is doing better but not out of the woods.  So I am relieved that he made it through the night.  Thank you all so much.

Second, while my boy was recovering I spent the day with some great ladies at Krop, Paper, Scissors, and I got to give Graphic45 paper out all day!  It was such a blast.  Most of the day I was really worried about my boy, so I was much more quiet than usual, but still had a great time and got so much done.  I have a long list of projects to get done for upcoming issues and the Graphic45 CHA booth and some other upcoming classes.  So it was nice to get a jump on it all.

Thank you Karyn, for a great crop.  Hope you get some sleep after 18 hours of scrappin craziness!

Please say a prayer for our "boy"

In our local community, our dog, "JJ" is well known at our store.  He is our beloved border collie.  He went from perfectly healthy to paralaysis in the hind area this morning completely out of nowhere.  He is only 6 years old and healthy as an ox. 

The vet is unable to give us any answers at this point, and I am up late cuz I cannot sleep worried about him.  Please say a prayer, chant, do whatever it is you do, but please ask to keep our boy safe and healthy again.

Thank you.
