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.

The Pink Elephant - TPE Challenge #23


This is my submission to the Pink Elephant's #23 challenge. This was a color challenge and you had to use red, light blue and dark blue. Since I just had twins I need a bunch of Thank you's to send out to people who gave me gifts. So for the challenges I am challenging myself to use scraps and to make them Thank you's when possible. That way I kill two birds with one stone! I love using my scraps because it makes my mind work harder..and these days that in itself is a challenge.


I used various left over scraps of which I am not sure of the brand name. I also used:


Prima Flowers ~ Sprites 2
Spare Parts denim brads ~ by the Paper Studio
Peachy Keen Stamps ~ PK-200 Cow Peeker and Face Package
Cricut cartridge ~ Beyond Birthdays 3 1/4" for the Thank you
Mounting squares ~ I used mounting dots to raise the Thank you mat as well as the cow for a 3D look.
Ribbon
Markers


I had a blast once again using my Peachy Keen Stamps!

    Really fun fabulous card.
    Having huge problems viewing blogs at the moment and Mr Linky is playing up alarmingly. Hopefully it will all be sorted out soon. In the meantime please don’t desert us at the Pink Elephant. Do watch out for our new challenge starting tomorrow. It’s being sponsored by one of my favourite digi artists!!?
