The rest of the Train trip...

I finally finished the other 3 pages for the 2 - 2 page layouts. Struggled with combining the purple page (cowgirls) to lay next to the page with Vince's red shirt, the compromise was the pink, burgundy, red combo. I used alot of new techniques in these 4 pages and I am fairly pleased with the end result.

Lots of photos, tonz of ideas, can't wait to get at them....not enough hours in any given day!

My Cowgirls!

This was taken on March 20th, 09 during a trip we took on the Grapevine Railroad from Grapevine, Tx to Ft. Worth, Tx. It was a wonderful day and Emma was a true trooper!

Enjoyed doing this page using "grungeboard & lace" (I think there is a song in there somewhere? lol) what a wonderful "western" combo!

Have a happy, healthy day!

oFf ThE PagE♥

Had a fun weekend playing off the pages of scrapbooking and dabbled in alittle "altered" crafting.

Yesterday I went to a workshop hosted by a Stampin up distributor where we created the frame. Everyone's was so unique and highly reflective of what each individual "loved".

The paper mache box I purchased a while back ($2) and am using it for storage for my chipboard alpha pieces. Friday, I found in the bottom of a craft drawer, a package of ten seconds copper 36g. No telling how long ago this was purchased...I've been wanting to play with metal for a long time (at least 10 years). Fear has always kept me at bay, this weekend I decided to play. oh what fun! Now, either I find something new to keep my alpha pieces in, or I've just converted to decorated storage???

Tag crazy-----

Had a wonderful day yestserday, spent the entire day crafting!! What a wonderful way to waste a day. I've joined a craft challenge group that inspired me to go crazy.

I thought that they would be nice "bookmarks" for my daughters bookclub. I hope they enjoy them.

DD and grandbaby Emma are coming tomorrow so I must clean, do laundry and reengage in life today. (I would much rather go upstairs and play.)

Gotta Luv Him...

Laying in bed this morning, around 6 a.m. listening to DH making his coffee, breakfast, and pack his lunch for work, I had to laugh as I heard him argue with the dog!! Now, you have to admit it, it is a "different soul" that feels compelled to argue with a dog at 6 a.m..
So, with that I am reiterating, "you gotta love a man" who argues with the dog in the kitchen at 6a.m.

A month later and still confussed??

Okay, I'm starting to get this...it's about putting "out there" what the world doesn't care about??? Or, maybe because grandma doesn't live next door, it's a way for everyone to stay involved in each others lives.
Being from the "old school" way of thinking, not only do I not really want to share everything with a faceless, nameless, emotionally devoid computer...but, I fail to see why anyone would care what I think?? splain, please...
Well, I will continue to push forward. I do enjoy the things that I am learning in regard to crafting, that I get.
til next time,
