Vacation time..

Pin It

Spent a few Sunny Days in Palm Springs with my friend scrapping. I was surprised that between the pool, the wine, the dvds, and the chatting I was able to get 12 layouts done and work on some ATC cards for a swap. Here are few of my two page layouts. Thanks for looking.

My crazy boys 2 years ago. It was crazy hair day and their school colors were purple and blue. Cute right?

I won tickets to the premiere of World of Color at Disney's California Adventure. Thanks MyFM for the tickets. We sure did have an amazing time. And the show was fabulous...it is a must see if you are visiting Southern California.

Christmas 2009. This layout was based on a sketch in Scrapbook Etc. This was the last Christmas spent with my sister and mom. They both now live in Colorado.

We have been going to Disneyland for years now. This was the first time my boys had ever been on the Mark Twain. It is such a pretty boat.

What could be better than spending your 40th birthday at Disneyland with your family. I am truly lucky.

Twilight Altered Gift Box

Pin It

I created this back in February at the Scrapping Escapes Retreat in San Diego and never got a chance to share it with you. Figure I better post it before someone buys it from my ebay store. I took a cardboard take out box and re"vamped" it using yummy papers, stickers, flowers, bling, ribbons, and of course some glimmer mist.

This is sure to brighten any Twi-hard's day.

JULY FREEDOM KIT

Pin It

I designed this layout for my kit of the month..I love it!

 Hope you do too! I used bazzill and cardstock as well as Storytellersclub printed paper. I used Cricut Cart George for the stars. Independence Day was used for the title, banner, Statue of Liberty, and the large fire cracker. Stand and Salute was also used to make the smaller fire cracker. I added some ribbon stapled in the center of each banner piece and may add some stickles later on.  It can be used to celebrate the 4th of July, Memorial Day, or even to honor your favorite military man or woman. I hope you enjoy this layout as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Sweet Summer Joyous Fun Layout

Pin It

This layout was actually started while on vacation last July in Colorado while visiting my sister. It was some goodies given to us by Archiver's(which is such a great store and needs to come to California asap!!). I am so glad to finally have it finished. I hope you enjoy it! 

And did I mention Gypsy Leashes!!

Pin It

I was asked to create an attachable charm for a friend. She was always losing her stylus pen and wanted something that would attach to the stylus and to the Gypsy too. So here is what I came up with. The one below is mine and Yes it is one of a kind.

This is a beautiful pink and silver leash. The silver charm is made so you can add a photo of your special someones. Don't like pink? I can make it in many other colors too.

My Breast Cancer Charms are probably my number seller so I felt it only appropriate to make one into a leash. The cancer ribbon has tiny pink bling rhinestones. So pretty! 

 And here again is another pic of mine just so you can see how they look attached. I have several more in the works and I customize them for you too. Just stop by ebay store and check out the many designs of Connie's Crafty Charms!

Easter Cricut Layout

Pin It

I created this layout for my June Kit of the Month. Kind of late, I know, but I didn't have a kit in April or May. I used several different Cricut Carts, cardstock, ribbon, paper from Storytellersclub, brads, and bling. I think this bunny and chick are adorable! What do you think?
