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.

Picture perfect!

Hey y'all!  I recently bought the newly released stamp set from Craftin' Desert Divas called Capture the Good Times. I loved the sentiments in this set and knew they would be perfect for albums, journaling as well as cards.  I thought I would challenge myself to make a bunch of projects using the same stamp set.  I thought I would share them with you all.  


Here is the first batch of ones I made.



First I made this photo cube with a picture that was taken of me and my girls by Hannah Westbrook photography. I thought the sentiment was perfect for it.

When I saw the next sentiment the first thing that popped into my head was to use a negative of the Sizzix die cut I used for the photo block.  I made this card completely out of scraps.  It was fun! lol




Next I made a camera album using the Camera shaped album by Lori Whitlock.  I changed things a bit to have it the way I wanted it.  The paper I used is by My Minds Eye called Lost & Found TWO.  I tried to show the pages inside since the papers were so pretty.  I added extra pages for a total of 20 pictures.  I also doubled up the pages so they are nice and sturdy.  Then added some ribbon and a camera charm for that extra pizazz.  

Craftin' Desert Divas is having a Linky party as well as a Facebook Gallery challenge.  Both have fantastic prizes so I am entering these into both.

Happy Crafting!
