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.

Happy Halloween


I started this card from Colour Create's color challenge of Neon Green and black. Immediately I thought of a Halloween card and figured that was all that would work..well I was proved wrong by checking out everyone's cards! The color combo is a bit unusual and they BEYOND pulled it off. I was looking thru my papers and didn't realize how many were that color. So a big ol' thank you for pushing my imagination - even if I did stick with Halloween!

Of course I pulled out my darling Peachy Keen Stamps. If you haven't seen her Halloween stamps yet you need to stop by and check them out. They are absolutely adorable!! I used PK-627 Witchy Hat & Broom and PK-629 Carved PUmpkin, Bat & Happy Halloween stamp sets.

The challenges this card covered are:

2Red Bananas

Polka Doodles

Lily-Boo Too Challenge
