Mickey Mouse Autograph Book

"Characters Welcome" is an autograph 8x8 booklet. This was a class that I totally missed at CKC (Creative KeepSake Convention) in San Marcos, TX in September. I did get the kit though and finished it at our monthly crops with The Scrapbooking Factory. Check our monthly retreats in San Antonio: www.thescrapbookingfactory.com

The kit was designed by Lickety Split as a Texas scrapbooking kit company right in the heart of Texas. They love to design Mickey Mouse kits and "Characters Welcome" is one of them. Our family heads to Disney in Jan 2012 and this is Ty's, our son's autograph booklet. We can't wait to capture those friends of Mickey Mouse. We're ALL Ears!

Walk to Emmaus

This 12x12 scrapbook page served not only for a gift for the attendees, but as a future place to adhere their group Walk to Emmaus picture. The Walk to Emmaus 1631 was a super huge event- 3 days of spiritual markers for over 30+ women. This event I served on the outside team serving and setting up food & table settings for this particular walk. God was good!

World Card Day 2011

Did you know that it was World Card Day? I know, just another holiday? Hum, but even better...I was able to submit yet again another publishing opportunity with Paper Crafts Magazine. The contest called for several types of cards. I chose: "Love U" ... so here's the card using Bazzill Papers, stamping techniques, fussy cutting the butterfly out, twine, ribbons, Tim Holtz tickets, & even a label maker for the letter "U"! Sure I hope I win this time. There will be a total of 20 winners.

Photography by Natalie

Here is Ty's Fall (2010) pix from Photography by Natalie. She recently made a scrapbook like pix of his pumpkin patch photo shoot. The pix of the rusty old truck is the back panel. The other 3 pix are his pumpkin pix byside the old truck. These shoots are totally fun!

Kiddie Park

You asked for it...here are some of my favorite scrapbook pages. So I've started a blogspot called: Your Eyes of Texas. Yes, it's the same name of my O&M specialist business, but I thought it was so "right" for a play on words for all of my scrapbooking pages. Basically, it's your eyes looking onto my Texas scrapbook layouts. This is my first scrapbook page that I've entered into a contest for publishing through Studio Calico. This layout is called Kiddie Park. I'm in love with these new Graphic 45 papers. It makes my page look like a vintage circus.
