Just A Sudden Road Trip

So, I got up Friday morning, full of energy, and ready to take on nothing but playing with paper and glue for NSD.  Then, just after I settled down in my room, the big guy said, hey, lets go to MGM Grand for the weekend.  It took just a teeny bit of convincing - we threw some things in a bag and were gone within the hour.  I was bummed to miss all the fun happenings at Studio Calico, but.................. we had a blast.  

Love me those red velvet cupcakes

polka dot black forest cake

a room with a view - 26 floors up

and you must try this luxury bowling thing

LOVED this wall paper at the bowling alley

We indulged way too much!!!!!  I just can't resist room service .

I'm off to yoga now, and when I get home, I'm going to have my own NSD!   I took lots of photos, so I'm thinking mini book.  The big guy is working today, so I know I won't have any sidetrips!! 

Just Happy National Scrapbook Day

Popping on to wish everyone a fun-filled NSD!  Create, play and enjoy your snacks!  I'm otherwise engaged - away from my scraproom - but am looking forward to diving into some paper and glue tomorrow!

Until then, how about misting a frame for your photos,

And I know I keep repeating myself, but I hope you have checked out the May Magpie kit - its just full of yummy, scrappy goodness  The layout above is yet another made from it, and seriously, I didn't add anything much from my stash on any of them.

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by.

Just I Wish........

and a few more little details.

Like zig zag stitching and a torn fabric strip,

scrunched up fab rips by Studio Calico a staped piece of rick rack, paper clip and some layered chipboard,

And so, another layout from the marvelous May Magpie kit.

Just Some Little Details

First, a big thanks to Margie for coordinating the OLW blog hop on Sunday, and thanks to all of you who visited.  It was fun, wasn't it? 

Since then, I've been noodling around between work and the back yard, enjoying the warm weather we've been having.  So much  outside looks and feels  like summer now.  I LOVE it.

Anyway, I've another Magpie Kit layout to share with you, with a few close ups of the little details.  I love little details.  I'm such a white space scrapper, so I usually  have lots and lots of details clustered around my photo.  I  do hope you've checked out this May Magpie kit,.  Its packed with  Cosmo and Studio Calico, with a bit of Basic Grey and more thrown in.

So, some little details. 

like lcut up banner flags and edging just about everything with paint,

a spurt of hand stiching,

more stitching, on ribbon to make a little gather, attached with tiny staples,


and sequins attached with french knots

The end result?

So thats it!  Done.

For now, I'm off to a yoga class.
