About Me

My photo
Carlisle, Pennsylvania
I am a stay at home mom..now that is! February 19th, 2007 I was involved in a car accident while on vacation in Florida. I awoke in ICU to find out that my only two children Annemarie age 3 and Michael age 5 did not make it. Scrapbooking became such a big part of my life. It helped fill a void that I desperately needed to fill. Our therapist suggested that I take up scrapbooking as a way to memorialize my children, little did she know! So I took that and ran with it.I became obsessed with scrapping and took over the second largest room in my house. Because of my injuries I couldn't go out and get a job, I just scrapped!I printed out 2,000 photos and my journey began. I have made albums for family members and layouts to decorate my craft room. We thought we were done having kids but who expected this tragedy??? I just gave birth in June 2009 to two beautiful baby girls Mia Anne and Gianna Marie named after their brother and sister.I swore that I would keep up with their albums so I won't become overwhelmed so we will see how that works out! My profile picture is the last family picture that was taken of all of us.

Peachy Keen Challenge #4


Okay here is my first submission to a challenge here on the blogs. The card below is for Peachy Keen's Challenge #4. First I would like to say that I just LOVE LOVE LOVE Peachy Keen Stamps. The quality is outstanding and defintely 5 stars!! You barely have to press down in order to get your image and the designs are just to darn adorable!

As for my first card/challenge that I am submitting. I must say it was a bit hard to make while nursing my twins on my lap. But since I missed the deadline on CHallenge #3 I was determined to finish this time! I used the following supplies:


PK-239 Faceless Fruit

PK-740 Baby Animal Faces N More

Nana's Nursery Baby Girl paper by DCWV

Black embossing powder

Red & Green colored markers

Mounting squares


The challenge to myself is to use my scraps only..which is a good thing since I have bins of them! I used black embossing powder to emboss the strawberries and their adorable little faces. Then I colored them in with red and green markers. I unfortunately do not have those fancy Copic markers but hopefully I will soon! I cut the stamped images out and used mounting squares to make the images 3D which unfortuantely does not show up in the pictures. I also used the mounting squares to raise the mats that the strawberries are set on.


Thanks Kathy for giving us these adorable stamps to work with!
