The new line "Love Me Do" just came out today. Check out more on my mind's eye website. This collection is fun, bright, and definitely full of LOVE. I am still waiting for my set to play with. It is like my birthday every time I get to touch all the paper. I love making collages and cards with my paper. Once I get my hands on it, I will post what I have made.
Check out my new lines at embroidables.com! Happy stitching to those of you with embroidery machines. This makes me want to run out and get one.
I am excited about my new paper line coming out with My Mind's Eye scrapbook company at Winter CHA 2009. It should be in stores by the end of February. Check them out on My Mind's Eye website. The Freebird Collection is dedicated to my friend, Amber, who passed away in August 2008.
Like everyone, the holidays were busy. Work deadlines up until Christmas Eve, but somehow managed to get a surprise trip to Disneyland planned for the kids. My 7 year old didn't know where we were until we got to the gate! Crowded and crazy, but hopefully some good memories my family can hang on to.
Here a template to use for your new years resolution to scrapbook more!

Time flies, especially in October. We have 4 out of our 6 birthdays within 1 month of each other! Kate's birthday is the last of the bunch. I have simplified my Halloween/Kate's birthday dilemma with an annual costume party. This way I make sure I have her Halloween costume (or choice of costumes) ready, the theme is always picked, and we even do a little "trick or treat training" through the neighborhood.
Here is a little bonus for you digi-scrappers. This is the template I used for both of the above layouts.

I am not much into politics, but apparently I have something in common with John McCain's running mate, Sara Palin...I, too, am a bulldog hockey mom. Can't wait to watch my boys and their friends get on the ice for another year of heart pumping action! Hopefully my heart will keep pumping with Jack as a goalie (THE PRESSURE) and Sam starting to CHECK.
Besides showcasing these boys (can't you tell they are thrilled?) I wanted to show some of my digital kits available on pclayers. The background grid paper used is part of a new kit that just came out last week called Penny Lane.
I also used my Moonshadow Kit for the brushes.
GO LIONS! GO SIOUX!
When the Tiny Dancer Collection was introduced on pclayers, I didn't have a real dancing girl to sample with the kit...I am excited to say, that I do now. It was so fun to watch Kate dance around in her little leotard and tap shoes for the past week.
She had a melt down on Monday when she had to take the dance clothes off to do some yard work. As she put on a new outfit she began to cry, "I don't look pretty anymore!" We are in for it. I don't think we have ever heard those words in our house before, but I doubt it is the last time.
I am having fun getting a delicate little dance bag together...it is a change from the 3 huge stinky hockey bags I am use to stocking up and packing in the back of the car.
The pcLayers website is really coming along. Check out the sale they are running right now, the new blog, and a great layout freebie!
Here is a little collage of my new office furniture. I can't wait to get creating!
