Wedding Card (but not the one you think!)

This past weekend, we were invited to my husband's nephews wedding and here is the card that I came up with. Its not the one that I will be making for Justin and Kristy, just thought that I should throw that out there!!

This card used my the Polka Dot Embossing Folder and Top Hat Die; the colors are Gable Green and Pixie Pink. I used some Dazzeling Diamonds glitter to set off the tulip.

Also the ribbon that is on the card is the recycled ribbon that I took off of the invite! I am always doing that kind of stuff!!

As always, take care.

Our Yacht

On our last night in Florida, my mom and dad treated us to a ride aboard this beautiful yacht (which we found out had been built in Wisconsin!). We toured the Gulf coast and watched the sunset.

It was a perfect way to end our vacation and get back to reality. We seen some dolphins (which are almost impossible to get a picture of) and some pelicans.

Justin and Kristy had a great vacation in Florida. Stay tuned for the next adventure. The wedding shower, now that was alittle interesting and fun!!

As always take care, thanks for visiting.

Destination Paradise!

When I started making this scrapbook page, that is exactly what I was thinking....Paradise!! The beaches in southern Florida are so pretty and even though we didn't have the warmest weather, we still had fun looking for shells, enjoying a walk on the beach and the sunsets! I don't think a sunset could be any prettier!

We have great sunsets in Wisconsin, and probably anyone can say that no matter where they live, but I really do like the Florida sunsets.

Well I am almost done with the kids scrapbook, I just have one more Florida page; then I will do two pages of the wedding shower and then thats it!! The book is almost full and the wedding is almost here. It seems just a year ago and we were just starting the plans and its now less than two weeks away. I have been asked to brink the scrapbook to the wedding reception, we will have a table with a scrapbook of Kristy's childhood and one of Justin's and this scrapbook in the middle. And before you ask, yes there will be a Volume Two of Justin & Kristy's Memories; it will start with the wedding.

For the Love of Raz!

Ever so often I start a scrapbook with just the pictures and then all of a sudden, the page just comes together and finishes itself!! That was this page. Justin and Kristi's dog or should I say daughter, Raz, she is such a nice dog and quite the ham for the camera. Of course, I don't think that there isn't anything that Raz wouldn't do for Justin and Kristy. They adopted her from the Humane Society and I think that she adopted them also. But it makes you wonder, who adopted who first?!

I got some chipboard decorations that my dad that he found at a garage (I couldn't believe it either) and finished this page in ten minutes time! I found it quite fitting to use Stampin' Up!'s Rich Razzelberry cardstock for my background, stamped some butterflies and lady bugs, added the chipboard butterflies and wha-la!

I hope you like my scrapbook page, I hope to have more pages to post very soon. As always, take care.

Florida Vacation 2010 - Naples Country Club!

No vacation would be complete without stopping for a cold one at my folks favorite spot, the Naples Country Club. Its not located on a gold course or anything and I really don't know why its called the Country Club but what I do know is that they have nice cold Coors Light. When you are on vacation, it just is something that you HAVE to do!!

All kidding aside, this page shows Justin getting ready to play the Lobster Tank to see if he can catch a real live lobster. And he did! The Country Club will then cook it for you and serve it up with fries, cole slaw and drawn butter. It was really pretty good.

The bottom picture is a group shot, well kinda, notice no picture of me! What else is new, since I am the one always taking the pictures you don't get to see many of me. But thats the way it goes. I have more pages to make and I will share them with you as soon as I can.

As always, take care!

Florida Vacation 2010 - Babcock Ranch

We took a tour of a real working ranch, the Babcock Ranch. It was a great day to enjoy the eco-tour and see how Florida looks besides just beaches and cement! We saw so many native animals, it was quite a learning experience.

They do a great job of explaining everything, they even supply a young alligator so that you can see one up close. Notice how Justin thought it was okay to look but not touch!!

The swamps were really quite full so we didn't see alot of alligators but it was a beautiful day to enjoy nature in southern Florida.

The next page that I have to share with you is what you would call a "r & r" page; come back and visit me again so that you can see what I mean. As always, take care.

Florida Vacation 2010

Its back to scrapbooking!

Not that I mind, but I am under a deadline to finish the kids scrapbook before the big day! The days to the wedding on June 19, are going by entirely too fast! On the bright side, I am almost done with the "pre-wedding" photos and the book is almost full!

I found out this past weekend, that the "kids" want to show case the scrapbook at the wedding reception for everyone to see! I was so honored, I stamp cards and scrapbook pages because its something for me to do and I enjoy it. To have it on display is really quite an honor for me!

In March, Justin, Kristi and myself flew to Naples, Florida to visit my mom and dad who were vacationing there. There is nothing as pretty as a Florida sunset. Naples is located on the gulf and the house is only a few blocks away. We spent some time on the beach looking for shells and enjoying the beautiful sunset.

I hope that you enjoyed my scrapbook pages, I have some more page that I will post in the next few days. Take care!!
