Opening page to my New York trip scrapbook.

Masculine Valentine Card

A masculine valentine card I made for a friend to give to a special valentine.

Silhouette

I LOVE my Silhouette SD diecut machine. I have had it for a couple of years and use it constantly. I have been a member of a Yahoo Group dedicated to the Silhouette for awhile and was recently asked to become a moderator of the group. We have a ton of people willing to help with all things Silhouette. I love the group and have added a "join" on the right side of this blog if you want to join and learn how to use your silhouette or lurk about the group to see if you want to buy one or see what everyone is doing with their machines and creativity.

This is a card I made for a sketch challenge on StampTV.com. I'm not happy with the coloring but it was late, lights were low, and I was tired. :\ The leaves are punched out of colored paper. The card base is a 6" x 6" card.

Bookmark I made for a bookmark swap.

Central Park Buggy

Have not done the journalling yet but this is the first page I completed for the scrapbook of my trip to New York with my two oldest daughters. This was our carriage ride through Central Park. They decided it would have been much more romantic to go with their husbands rather than their mother. LOL

Definition of Scrapbooking
scrap-book-ing n. (scrap'booking) 1. obsessive compulsive disorder consisting of pouring your grocery money and savings account into a blank book in such a way that makes the act justifiable. 2. Causes euphoria and giddiness in those afflicted. 3. Common ailment among scrapbookers for which there is no known cure.

(I got that off another blog: kclukesmom.blogspot.com)

I would add a 4. Causes a rollercoaster of emotions in friends and family due to them feeling ignored when you are scrapping to feeling happy and special when you show the pages you have completed that are all about them.
