The one with the flight!

Yay! We made it!

I say that because we almost didn't!

Let me tell you the adventure we had last night!

I left work early to make sure I got to Chris' house on time. There was lots of snow coming down and I figured that the roads would be really bad. I was right. At 5:30 we found out that the plane would be delayed about an hour. No problem!

So we just hung out at Chris' for a while and then headed over to the Airport... thats when the adventure started! The roads were REALLY slow and we were pushing it for time as it was. We rushed over to check it.... but we got an error message : You are too LATE to check in for your

flight!!! AHHHH.. panic!

Got an attendant over right away to help. She said our bags would not make he flight but she had two seats left. Out bags would come THE NEXT NIGHT! So we ran through security... and literally RAN to the gate just in time to board! Poor Fawn was waiting there since 6:00.

Once we got on the plane we realized that we got the last two seats on the plane and were bumped up to first class! We were laughing so hard about our luck..... but so excited to have the BIG cushy seats.

The flight was great but the whole time I was wondering if we were going to have our luggage or not. We were making a list of what we would need to buy when we land. Once we landed and got to the luggage area we walked over and out bags were the first ones out!!! Lots of celebrating in the airport.... I don't think anyone has ever been so happy to see their luggage :)

So that was last night... check out what we did today over on the Scrappy Chic blog! Plus.... we got the exclusive first photos of the CHA floor if you want to see it.......

Today it was so beautiful - not like the snow and below zero weather we left! So enjoying the SUN!

Check back tomorrow for lots of show pics.... I can't wait!!

The one with some Curio

I'm all packed up and ready to go...... to CHA!!!
We are flying out tonight and I am sooooooo excited :) This time around I am bringing my laptop and my cameras are fully charged. I hope to be able to post pictures of the show while I am there.

Thought I would share a couple more layouts today I made with my kit from Catch the Moments! Used the Curio line for both these layouts.... both with very different feels.
This first one is from my brothers wedding....

Loved the teal and peachyorange combo on this one!

This next one is from Disney. Trying to get my brother to smile in a picture is a hard thing. And he never wants to act goofy (how are we related ;) lol). He loves Coke in a bottle so we had to get him next to this giant bottle at Hollywood Studios!

Hope you are having a great week and enjoying all the fun peeks out there! I will share all the CHA show fun with you so check back! Have a great weekend :)

The one with a Classic

Good Morning!
Thought I would share a layout I created for Catch The Moments design team. Used lots of AC here! The paper is AC Classics, tickets and journal paper is Dear Lizzy. The rose ribbon trim and rubon letter are also AC.
Don't mind too much how bad this pic is.... seems like the sun only comes out when I am at work ;)

The 'Cherish' letters are BG, buttons are Jenni Bowlin. The die cut floral is KandCo - it was beige so I inked it to contrast more with my paper.
This frame is Melissa Francis -I have had for a while now and just haven't had the right place to use it! Thought it was perfect to frame this picture of me and my grandmother.

If you are looking for some good deals check out the kits over at CTM!! Lots of sales going on for CHA this weekend as well :)

The one with WOYWW.... a bit late!

This week I wanted to participate in WOYWW (Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday).... but I am a bit late. This is what my desk looked like on Wednesday.....


Working on a layout for Scrappy Chic with some new BG Hopscotch. Didn't think I was really into this line til I started to play with it. So loving it now!!!!

Also in the corner you can see a pile of ribbon there????? Yes well I am purging my ribbon pile BIG TIME for the upcoming Yard Sale!!!!!
Here are the piles.....
Mostly AC ribbon and a bunch of random stuff I collected over the years! I now have them sorted by color in little baggies ready for their new homes :)

The funny thing about this purge is I thought it would give me more room for NEW ribbon.... but then I realized that I have been keeping my new-ish ribbon on the desk in a basket and when I added that ribbon to my collection.... I was all filled up again! I think I have a ribbon problem :)

You can see here how I store my ribbon!!!!

Have a great weekend!!!

The one with some Vintage

I think I have said it before.... but Angela loves to challenge me :) Usually when I open my kit there is one line that I really have no idea what I will do with - something I would never pick for myself if I was shopping! But for some reason at the end of the month the layout with that paper turn out to be my favorites.... or at least ones that I am super proud of because in my own mind I broke out of my safe box.

This is one of *those* layouts! Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934. This paper to me is so Angela... but I have a feeling that she bought the whole pack of this one ;)

A couple weeks ago my mom found an old photo album filled with some really great pictures! This is one of them. My mom when she was 23 years old! She was in Holland with my grandparents visiting our family there.

The picture is from the late 70's but I think this paper still goes well with it! So I challenge you to scrap something out of your comfort zone... you never know what will happen :)
