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.

New!! Blue & White Linky Party@ CDD

Hey everyone!  The first linky party in 2015 has started at Craftin Desert Divas.  The theme is Blue & White.  First thing I thought of was a baby boy for some reason.  

I have been wanting to do this pop up card that I got from Silhouette for some time.  I added a 3D Rattle as a shaker embellishment and filled it with some little buttons and gem.  I used my SAY IT BIG stamp set for the "Congrats" sentiment and my Snips & Snails stamp set for the It's a Boy sentiment as well as the ones on the inside of the card.  The little stars on the inside block are from the Halloween WITCH CROSSING stamp set.
