short trip.

Hubby's birthday is coming up and there is lots to do! Well, not really. He got what he wanted for his birthday already. He even picked it out and ordered it. It was easy for me, but he had to pick it out and order it because I know nothing about keyboards! I got him a few other little things to actually open on his birthday. Another thing we do almost every year is go camping for his birthday. We leave tomorrow and that's why I did not get that cute little, canvas travel album done :-( But, we'll only be gone until Tuesday, so I should be able to finish and list it Thursday.
Because blogging with no pictures is no fun, I'm uploading a photo I took on our camping trip last year. I'm really looking forward to a couple days of R&R. Peace and quite. And if the fishing is no good, I should have a couple of layouts to share! Bye for now!

767 and more fun!

Hello! I've been craving to scrap some of my own photos and have decided that I will do the much attainable goal of 2 layouts a month and go from there. I hope to do more, but I'll start small. Here is what we did this past weekend. My husband flies for ATI and they purchased a 767 and had a kind of open house down at the airport. We went and checked out the new paint job, new cargo (instead of passengers) area, and of course the cockpit. Can you believe I forgot my camera at home?! But, I do have a camera on my phone and I was so glad! What a handy thing to have! Anyway, here is the layout I did from this past weekend...

Oh! I just discovered that 12x12 paper fits into my typewriter! I was so excited to figure that out. Now, I can type directly onto my layouts! Also, another cool thing I did on these layouts was stamped on the photos with white ink. I used the Stampin' Up! White pigment ink and Ali Edwards' travel stamps that they sold at Cocoa Daisy.

And, I've started working on this little cutie... I can't get enough of the MM Passport line, can you tell? That and CANVAS! YUM! So, here is the cover, but the inside will have pages for journaling and photos. Cute little mini album for photos from vacation. I should have this done and ready to put on eBay Thursday... That is IF I don't have jury duty this week! FUN! :-)
Okay, more later!

Lately.

Let's see... What have I been up to lately... My mom came for a vist and we had lots of fun girl time. Except for the day I had to go to jury duty. That day, mom stayed home and painted. She made me a lovely acrylic painting from a photo I took in Tuscany a few years ago. So pretty! We did girly things like go see "Momma Mia" and a dinner theater play, "Guys and Dolls". All great times. Thanks for the visit mom!
And here's a sneak peek of a layout I finished yesterday. Loving blues and greens with a little pink accent color lately. A fun summer layout I'll put on eBay late afternoon today.
Hope you're enjoying the last days of summer!
