Cruisin' Right Along

There's nothing like looking through the last vacation scrapbook to remind you how much you need another vacation!  I can smell the salty sea air and feel the motion of the ship over the waves and I just yearn to be in the Caribbean once again!  

This layout was created using the Reminisce Signature Series collection.  It features several different papers, embellishments and stickers for themes including cruise, family vacation, winter, playing cards magic vacation and more!  

Back To School

It's that time of year again when kids are running for the bus and moms are left standing with just the camera in their hand.  It's a feeling I'm familiar with and will be experiencing again this weekend as we take our kids back to college.  I don't think the initial goodbye gets any easier, but I do find that I "recover" more quickly.

So while you're waiting for the kids to get home from school why not scrapbook those first day of school pictures.  This collection, School Days, is from Debbie Mumm and it's on sale now (40% off!).  The owl is simply adorable and the papers are versatile enough to be used for all grade levels.  

Sweet Home Chicago; a new collection and layout idea!

I love Chicago!  Always have, always will!  I was born here and still live in the suburbs, so this city is a part of me, and that was my inspiration behind our new line, Sweet Home Chicago.  I just couldn't find any Chicago-themed papers that represented our city, so I created my own.  Our new collection is available on our website.  Here are some pics:

Here's a 2-page layout that is embellished with Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels and the new mini Chicago laser cuts from Paper Wizard.
