i am working on a "book of me" challenge over on the ckmb. i had so much fun completing the first layout of the challenge. the subject was 10 things that make you happy. it was harder than i thought it would be to narrow the list down to only ten. i used pattern paper from a K & Co scrappad to go, k & Co chipboard sticker butterfly and flower, jenni bowlin bingo card, and american crafts rub-ons. i added some bling to the bingo card and i made the die cut shape behind the photo.

hot, humid summer days
A bike ride on a hot summer night is always fun and everyone knows to you have to wear a helmet!
bear seems to be doing a little better, so he got to enjoy sometime in the yard with us!
thanks for visiting!

blog hop update
thank you everyone for visiting my blog during the cards for heroes mini blog hop! http://cardsforheroes.org/about/ so many talent crafters participated! it was so inspiring to see everyone’s designs. if you didn’t take out blog hop you still can by following this link.

many of you inquired as to how I made my card. I would love to be able to tell you what papers I used, but I can only guess. I am using my holiday scraps from my 2008 december daily and when I went back to look at them, none of them had the names on them, though I think they my be figgy pudding, BG or MME. the star was cut with my slice and the word joy is done in thickers.
thanks again for visiting!

sisters weekend and more
it's been a busy two weeks. i can't believe that it is august already! it seems like summer just got here. last weekend ursula and i went to valley forge PA for CKC and we had an amazing time. two full days of creativity, inspiration and yes shopping! we took five scrapbooking classes while we were there. we learned some new techniques, got plenty of new supplies ( which i promise to photograph to share with all my scrapping friends) and just had a lot of fun. on saturday night we made time to finish some of our class projects so now all we have to do is put the photos in them .
here i am at the button farm class. angela from the button farm gives an amazing class. we made a beautiful mini album, and right after class, we just had to do some shopping at the vendor faire!
i love this road sign that was just a short distance from our hotel. who wouldn't want to live on mall blvd?
this is a great photo of three friends; joann, karen and myself. we have been friends going back as far as elementary school and jr. high school. karen is in from indiana so we had lots of catching up to do.
bear is doing better since his visit to the vet. now he can get around a bit better, so hopefully we can have some more time together.
ava is so excited to finally get some tomatoes from her tomatoes plants, few as they may be.
santana is learning to love books.

and this is one of my favorite photos of the week.
