About Me

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.

Celebrating Birthdays!

Good morning ladies & gents.  I am here to share with you a great challenge that we are having over at the Sisterhood of Crafters starting today.  It last for two weeks so I hope you can play along.  We are asking you to make a birthday card or a gift for a birthday.  Super easy and we all need those in our stash that's for sure.  What's even better is one lucky winner will receive a stamp set from Shabby Chic Stamp Company called BUILD A CAKE.  For those of you who follow my blog that is the set that I have been using for a couple of projects lately.  It can be anniversary, birthday, congratulations, or you can simply use the flowers and make an everyday card.  It is a wonderful addition to have to your stamp collection.  But you have to be in it to win it!

Here are two cards that I made with the set.  If you go back further you will see some additional cards I made earlier with it.  It is really a great set.

For my first card I wanted to showcase the flowers. The sentiment for both of my cards I used from the GREETINGS stamp set from Shabby Chic Stamp Co. The paper is from Echo Park I believe and the jar and bow are from Paper Trey Ink.
 This card I paper pieced the cake and colored the trim with my Copics.  Let's Celebrate is pretty general which I love because you can pull it out of your stash for several different occassions.

I sure hope that you play along with us this week over at the Sisterhood.  See you there!
