Tower Bridge

Totally slacking yet again, nothing much getting posted here on my blog.  I have been just crazy busy.  I know...excuses, excuses.  lol

I have been busy creating.  But I have also decided to try and step up my designer status.  I recently became a Designer Member of CHA.  I had business cards made, registered for winter CHA, and have been working hard to make sure all my other commitments are met.  That, and I am trying to diet and exercise...all the weight I lost a couple of years ago is starting to creep back on.  sigh

Anyway, as usual, I have a million excuses.  I promise I am creating and now that things are a bit more under control I am hoping to post here more.

Today I want to share with you a project I made a few weeks ago, one of the ones that is on my business card....

Some My Minds Eye papers that have been sitting in my stash for like evah!  lol  A few buttons as well.  I find I don't use many buttons and I have a ton of them, so I need to start.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hugs.

London

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share a few of the inside pages of my London mini album.  Love, love, love the Vintedge kit from Your Memories Here.

We didn't have the best spot for viewing the changing of the guard...and I never did get a photo with a guard in a bear hat...next time?

Loved the BeafEaters at the Tower.  So much great history and our guide was so much fun.  He had great stories and a great sense of humor.  After many years of service in the military these gentlemen get to become human tourist attractions...it really takes someone special to become a Yeoman Warder.

Outside of the tower, in front of Tower Bridge...which also has great views of the city.

Parliament from Westminster Bridge....no photos allowed inside of Westminster (heartbreaking for me) and we weren't allowed into Parliament as we are not British (again, boo hoo)

Finally, Big Ben.....colors in this photo are just too funky for words...but I am in the photo.  I guess that is what I get when I turn over the camera.  lol

There is such an incredible variety of embellishments in this kit that I couldn't help but add quite a few to each and every page.  I really need to work more on this mini...lots more photos to share.

Be sure and grab your Vintedge kit from Your Memories Here today!  At less that $20 you can't go wrong.

Hugs.

London Awaits - Vintedge

Hi everyone! Today I want to share the first of what will probably be many posts using the new Vintedge kit from Your Memories Here.  This kit is currently on sale in the Your Memories Here store and features  the Vintedge collection from Ruby Rocket.

Being that I just returned from London, this is the perfect kit for me, but don't let the Union Jack fool you....this kit is full of classic patterns that are perfect for both masculine and feminine pages, anglophile or not.

 Along with the gorgeous papers, chipboard, and stickers by Ruby Rocket; this kit also contains many gorgeous Prima flowers, Distress Stickles and lovely bits of trim.

Wishful Thinking

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you a project I made using the beautiful Wishful Thinking papers from Prima Marketing.  The Wishful Thinking papers are full of the most gorgeous colors perfect for all those special moments in your life...and in this case, perfect for my teen.

Of course, with the gorgeous blooms from my Your Memories Here Prima Flowers Grab Bag, I had plenty of gorgeous flowers to choose from to accompany my project.

A few of my favorite Prima Wood Icons were added for texture.  I just love the feel these add to my projects and don't think I can scrap without them these days.

 and of course i couldn't resist adding a few of the Wishful Thinking Metallic Gems.

All these projects are currently available in the Your Memories Here store.  Be sure to check  them out.

Oh, and btw...these photos are from our afternoon spent at Kensington Palace in London.  The palace was gorgeous and the garden even more so.  What I would do to have that beautiful of a yard, or even one 1/2 that size.    sigh...I guess it is good to be the future king.  lol    Unfortunately we didn't see William, Catherine, or the new baby.

Hugs.

New Adventure

Hi everyone!  Today I am a bit crazy...as you may or may not know, we were actually in Europe for a couple of weeks, couple that with a master bath remodel, and starting this years school....I guess you can understand why i am a bit late today.

Phil and I at Versailles.....Gorgeous.  Did a behind the scenes, a private rooms tour.  It was fabulous.  Very informative and gave us an opportunity to skip the lines and crowds.  love

Love touring up and down rivers, you know we love to cruise.  lol  This time on the river Siene.

Westminster Bridge looking back at Parliament.  Trying to be in more photos.  

La Tour Eiffel.

Hampton Court with my man.  Sorry that he is in the shadows.  sigh Turning the camera over to others means some funky composition and lighting.  

Hanging at the Tower of London with the BeefEaters.  Such a fun day and so educational...yes, we are counting our vacation as a field trip.  lol

 

Just a few photos from our adventures!  Needless to say, we had a great, one we won't soon forget.  And one I know you will see many more photos of as I begin to create scrapbooks.

In other news, I just made a Facebook Page...so, if you like you can follow me over there.  Thinking I need to work on building my business.  https://www.facebook.com/homesclscrapper
