Scrapbook Convention

A couple of weeks ago, Rey, Meg and I drove to San Marcos for a few days so that I may attend "Creative Keepsakes" scrapbook convention. It's held every year at the Embassy Hotel/Convention Center. It was four days of creative scrapbook heaven. Had tons of fun and can't wait to attend again next year. Here's a couple of photos of Meg and I taking a lunch break at the Vendors Fair. Relaxed a bit and then headed back for some more shopping.

My partner in crime...Meg loves scraping just as much as I do. God...we had so much fun.
 

"Strike a Pose" Kitty Layout

This is a scrapbook layout I created last year a bit after our feral cat Kittles passed away. We miss her very much and hope she felt how much we loved her.

This is a list of the supplies I used to create this layout.

      (1) Rhinestones, "Recollections"
      (2) Blue Swirl, Recollections
      (3) Glitter, blue letters used for names 
      (4) Disney, pink butterfly, border strip
      (5) Blue bird embellishment...K & Co.

Scraps of Fun...

Ok,...I finally did it. I've been wanting to do this for quiet some time and I finally did it. I'm starting my one and only blog. I'm not that good with computers, so I know for certain this will be a learning process. I basically want to keep a list of my scrapbook layouts and other craft creations, including cards and mini albums. I also enjoy taking pictures, so I want to include some of these on my blog. Pictures of family, friends, pets and events is what I incorporate with the things I create. This is something I just want to do for myself...share with family and friends and any one out there that is interested in "Look"ing. Vi-

These are a couple of cards I made on mother's day a couple of years ago. First card I gave to my sis Brenda and second one I gave to my sis Laura...First card is pic of family on Thanksgiving and second is pic of Laura herself...

 

Later on, I would like to include the items I used to create these cards. For example...papers, stamps, decorations and cut outs.
