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 # 6


Okay things have been a bit crazy for me here. I have been bombarded with family and friends wanting to see my girls..don't get me wrong I love the company but I just want to SCRAP!! I didn't get to do any challenges last week and this week I had an hour today to squeeze a challenge in. My sister's birthday is coming up so I decided to use some paper that I thought I would never use (challenge to myself!) and make up a quick card and this is what I came up with. It is hard to tell but the cupcake is the front of the card and it opens up to various Happy Birthday sayings on the background paper.

Supplies:

Peachy Keen PK - 652 Just Baby Faces 1 1/2" ~ this was the biggest face that I had and it is just to cute!!

Cricut Wild Card cartridge
Embossing powder
Prismacolor colored pencils
Prima Flowers
Stickles
Brads
Various embellishments
