I have not shared layouts in a while, so here are a few from the past couple Sunday's: This week, my scrapbook club worked with the Mayberry kit.  I have found this kit to be so versatile and works well with any kind of pictures.  I created the featured 2-page layout in the kit, then created these 4 additional layouts. Just Dance- here I added some ribbon from the Pink Ribbon Collection, and used the Token Alphabet and the Ecclectic Irresistible Alphabet. Ride- the Polka Dot Alphabet was perfect for my title here.  I also used the Badge Buttons to create a monogram near the photos.

I have a lot on my plate, I admit it! I constantly am asked HOW I do it..... and of course WHY I choose to do it all. So here's my story.... I am married to a High School baseball coach (and teacher).  He's been coaching since we met.  His aspirations have always been to coach in college, and I hope that's in his future!  Coaching baseball is not just a March through May thing.... its YEAR ROUND!  He starts up at the end of August with fall ball.  That ends at the end of October or so.  At the end of November, they get into try-outs and winter ball.  They are in full-fledged baseball season as soon as winter break ends.  Games begin at the end of February and end with the Valley Championship at the end of May.  As soon as that is done, they try-out for summer ball.  That lasts until July 4th.  So our summer begins then and ends when I go back to work the second week of August.  This demanding schedule of the baseball co...

Today I'm featuring a Birthday card with a large folded flower.  A few months ago I learned how to make this super easy flower through Close to My Heart. First I punched 8 circles (1 1/4") from my patterned paper, Mayberry.  I made sure that the reverse side of my paper was all the same shade (of honey). Next I folded up one side, about 1/3.  Then I folded the second side up, forming a point at the bottom, like a cone shape. I did this for all 8 "flower petals".  I took a 9th punched circle and put lots of adhesive on it.  I then added...
