Picking Pumpkins Layout

Here is a layout that i finished today. I just loved how it turned out!! I used Close To My Heart Textured Cardstock along with their Autumn Terracotta Ribbon Rounds. The other paper was this beautiful shimmering paper from Reminisce. I have never spent so much for one sheet of paper but it was really worth it.

This layout is up for bid on E-bay. Click the title above to take you to it's link.

A Few Christmas Cards

With the ideas from other consultants I made up a few Christmas Cards. I hope to be posting more cards soon.

All cards feature the CTMH October Stamp of the Month - Magical Season.

Sick Today

I'm sick and in bed today. I did however get my album that I left in my friend's truck so I will post those pictures when I am feeling a little better.

Back From Weekend Crop

So sorry I have not posted in awhile, I was packing and then gone for a weekend crop in Winter Park. I had a wonderful time and was able to get 10 pages done. I know it does not sound like a lot but I did not start packing until Thursday afternoon and then finished Friday at 1 pm. I was totally unprepared so I think 10 pages was pretty good.

I bet you were hoping to see some of my pages? Well, I was planing on posting those but I left my album and all the pages I did for that album in my friends truck. So you will have to wait until I get my album back. She is about 45 minutes away from me so we have to plan a time to meet up. For now here are are few pictures from the crop.

Middle: Me and my friend Laura acting like Pirates. (this was a Pirate theme crop)

Bottom: Our hotel - The Vintage at Winter Park

My Disney Swap

This is one of my swaps that I am doing. This particular one is for a Disneyland/World swap. I choose to do the Jungle Cruise. I used Close To My Heart's Expedition papers, Nature Walk stamp set, Rustic Alphabet stamp set and of course some fun Disney 3-D stickers (not CTMH) for this layout. Oh, and my little green bug for "cruise" in the title. I really loved how it came out and hope others in the swap approve.

Moose Encounter

Over Labor Day Weekend was my 7 year anniversary to my wonderful husband, Wes. We took a short trip (without the kids) to Steamboat Springs, CO. This was my first trip there. I have lived in CO for all but 3 years of my life and had never been to Steamboat before. I also have never seen a Moose. I know it must sound funny, but it's true. The thing is, I never knew we had Moose in Colorado. Turns out there is a good reason I have never seen one until now.

On our way to Steamboat we drove through Rocky Mountain National Park (first time their too), we stopped at a information center and learned that there are only 64 Moose in the entire Rocky Mountain National Park. We happened to stumble across 3 on your entire trip. We saw a few other animals including Elk, Deer and lots of chipmunks that we just had to feed. The chipmunks were so friendly we could actually pet them while feeding them seeds. All in all it was a very nice trip and I would love to visit Steamboat again.
