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.

Simple embossed card



I unfortunately do not have a cuttlebug or any machine that embosses so I had to do this one manualy...Everytime I go to buy one with my coupon they are convientely out of stock :( The white cardstock is embossed with different shapes and sizes of snowflakes. Since I have to send out so many Christmas cards I have to keep it simple. I added the flowers because I thought this was going to fit into another challenge but I read it wrong and its to late to fix it since it is glued. I will have to eventually jazz it up somehow.

This card covers 2 challenges:

    That "old-fashioned" embossing is just as pretty, and we get to see some different designs that way! Just takes a little longer, but the results are well worth it!
