A New Scrapbook Started

My youngest daughter, Alex, is in her Freshman Year at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. She joined a sorority and does so many fun things that I wanted to capture the moments in a scrapbook for her. I am doing the whole scrapbook in kraft, red, black and white with a few other colors mixed in. All base pages are kraft and the cover is done in burlap with handmade burlap and red flowers. Here are a few of the pages I have done for the album:


On the first page, I used the text cloud and songbird image by Dawn Collins (available from Squigglefly) - it is one of my favorite images of all time. Alex loved that I put UAB and AOII in the little hearts. I can't wait to finish this scrapbook - I have 150 more fun pictures and still two more months of school (including Spring Break) to go. For inspiration, I have been doing the Scrapbook challenges on Splitcoast Stampers - they are so fun! You can find them HERE.

Hugz!

    Nancy, how wonderful you are doing this scrapbook for your daughter. She is beautiful and so is your other daughter. I've seen photos of both. They got good genes. You'll have to take a look at my AL card I made Friday. She'll need one of those someday. :-)

    Fabulous layouts and I love your color combo that will go throughout. It would have been funny if my son (also an Alex) and she were to date like you mentioned before. :-)

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

It's time for the New Release Blog Hop at Dude Time Doodles ! I am thrilled to show off Elmer Elf - just one of the four new images. I love them all and plan to make Christmas cards with every single one of them. Be sure and pick them up soon in the store if you like them because all the Dude Time Doodles Images will be retiring in the next few weeks - sniff, sniff! If you came to my blog from Sharon's amazing blog you can continue on to Mags who has another wonderful creation to show you. Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around. Be sure and leave comments because one of the DT members is the mystery host/hostess and one of the commenters on their blog will win free images from the store. Hugz!!

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....
