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.

We also have a special priced May Release Bundle that's only available for this weekend only.

Here's what I've created for you...


When I saw the cactus set for some reason the first thing that popped into my head was a desert sunset of sorts. I achieved the sky with some of my Tim Holtz distress markers and free handed the desert sand. I paper pieced the cactus and flower on the front. The sentiment came from THIS & THAT and the Cactus w/flower came from the Prickly set. To finish off the edges I used my Fancy Frames die set. My mission was to keep this plain and let the image be the "star". lol
