Cards and Scrapbook Pages I Made in March

 I had fun playing with some stamp sets, techniques, and materials this month. We had a few birthday parties I needed to make cards for as well. 








I love that just changing up the color palette or technique gives each card a completely different feel. 






I finished up all our vacation photos from last summer and scrapbooked our trip to Universal Studios.

      It can be tricky to make more masculine cards; especially for teens but I think I did a great job with that one!

    I agree with you...it's amazing how just changing the colors creates a completely different look. I wonder...what do you do with the photos you don't use in your scrapbooks? Or, do you only print off ones you'll know you'll use?

    I do tend to print more than just those I know I'll use on scrapbook pages but I don't print off ALL the photos I take either. Those photos that I do have printed that I don't use on scrapbook pages go into some of the photos storage bins I keep (usually organized by child/ year/ month). I used to have them in albums but sadly a few years ago we noticed that all the album pages were giving away and falling apart so I took on a huge project to reorganize them all.

    My favorite cards are the ones with added texture. Like the pearls and when you make the paper 3-D. Maybe I'm just a texture fiend because I like it in my outfits too, haha.

      I try add at least one thing with texture to teach card whether it's a ribbon or a sequin or pearls.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white
