Thoroughly Modern Scrapbook Page

Here is one of the two 2-page layouts my Scrapbook Club did last night.  It’s made with the Thoroughly Modern Designer Paper, some 5/16" Neutrals brads, jumbo eyelets, jumbo grommets, Sahara Sand cardstock, Rose Red cardstock, and Bermuda Bay cardstock.

Charming, For sure!

Seriously???  That’s one word to describe the Holiday Mini this go around.  I SERIOUSLY want everything.  Everything is SERIOUSLY cute.  And just when you think there couldn’t be more good stuff, you turn the page and say: Seriously???  LOL

And here’s another SERIOUSLY? This card is made with the Charming stamp set (that goes with our new line of Simply Adorned Charms).  Gina Maginnis, a member of my SU! team created this card as her swap card at our last team meeting.  It’s made with my new BFF, Soft Suede, and the Charmed stamp set as mentioned.   Look at it, then say it with me — SERIOUSLY???  LOL!

Birthday Party

It was my son’s birthday party today!  It was a lot of fun, perfect weather, great family, friends, and food!  I wanted to share with you what I did with his cupcakes.  First off I made a crazy amount of different kinds, vanilla cupcakes with either Hershey kisses, chocolate mousse, or raspberry filling along with chocolate cupcakes with any of those same fillings, and I alternated between buttercream and chocolate frosting on those and then I also made some carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.  The dilemma?  How to know what kind was what!  So, in sticking with the boat theme (you may remember seeing his invitation here) my DD#2 and I stamped a bunch of boats, stuck ‘em on toothpicks, added a scallop circle on the back and I wrote what kind of cupcake it was.  It was a lot of work but I think everyone enjoyed the different kinds!  So here are some pictures and I’m off to bed… it was a long, but fun, weekend!
