Here a few fun pictures of her from graduation. The top one she is with her bestfriend and boyfriend. They are making a 2008 sign. And the second one - she had already received her diploma and is on the main floor walking back to her seat. We are so proud of her!! I cannot wait to scrapbook these and all the others...plus party pictures tomorrw. I just ordered a big beautiful graduation cake too...yummy!
I just loved this kit....beautiful!!!!! So easy to work with and so pretty!! The sneak peek is up for July too on the homepage.. Mosh Posh ....new making memories noteworthy, heidi swapp felt butterflies...yummy!! 
Just her being silly after we got home from the National Honor Society awards night. She said, "Mom, take a picture of me doing a cartwheel?" and I was like, "No." "Please?" So, I said, "okay, I'll just take one." Definitely, not very ladylike, but kind of funny too! You can dress 'em up, but you can't take them anywhere! ;-)
Also, here is another prom layout of Shelby and her boyfriend using a sketch by Erika over at Simply Obsessed! Love these colors together. 
I have been working hard on my Mosh Posh DT layouts....hope to be able to show them to you all in the next few days. It's a sweet kit!
Hope you have a fabulous day!!
The Dreamgirls challenge is up. For this one you need to journal in 5 spots on your layout and doodle somewhere on it. I did this one of my daughter turning 13 - I just journaled in the circle in the patter paper and doodled with a pink paint pen around them. Very fun and easy!! So go on over to dreamgirls and check it for a chance to win a sweet RAK!! 
This is my first month on the Design Team at Treasured Scrapbooking and this is my June Challenge. Just add some ribbon/trim and flowers to your layout for a chance to win a RAK from me! You have until the end of the month. Enjoy!
The Treasured Scrapbooking site is still down, but Leslie is working very hard to get it up and running as soon as possible. We have started a Treasured Scrapbooking Blog so that we can still communicate, chat and still be able to create our challenges. Here's the link to the Treasured Scrapbooking Blog.
The June kits are just fabulous, here is what I’ve done so far
If you would like to order a June kit, please email Leslie!

Just a quick layout of my daughter taken before she left for her Senior Prom. SHe had a wonderful time!!! I did another layout - but have to wait to post it because it is for a sketch challenge for Simply Obsessed. Have a wonderful day!!
The first layout you had to use the word "perfect" and the bottom one you had to use "wings" somewhere. Real simple challenges , but so much fun to do. I have been wanting to scrapbook the first photo for sometime and was very happy to use my new prima flowers and lace. Now, I need to work on my next Dream Girls Challenge!!!
Did this challenge from Treasured Scrapbooking - you had to use 20 buttons in 3 different colors. Fun and Simple!! This adorable picture was taken last weekend in my mom's garden - love these little sweeties so much!!!
Hope you are all having a Fabulous Weekend!!!
The new Dream Girls Challenge is up and it is a "Reality Theme". You pick your favorite Reality Show, but the twist is you have to add some felt and stamping to your layout! I had a lot of fun with this one. I also used three clay artsy buttons that Teresa My Organized Mess made and sent me. I just love them!!! Thanks Teresa!!
Also, on another note, Vintage Girl at Heart and I made through Round 1 at Scrapper's Haven Iron Chef IV contest so now we get to participate in Round 2. We both won first in our individual group too! Fun, Fun!!!!

A cute little mini I did last week of my daughters. We were at my mom's house in the garden taking pictures and they kept fooling around and laughing and I snapped some pictures. Love these shots of them! Have a wonderful week!!
The Dream Girls Challenge Blog is officially up!! This was my take on the challenge - you had to use the word dream somewhere and you must use scallops or curves on your project AND you must use paint in some fashion. You have until April 13th to do the challenge and then a winner will be chosen when the next challenge is announced on the 15th. There will be two challenges per month - and two winners! So, go on over and check out Dream Girls Challenge Blog
and take a look at all the beautiful layouts by the rest of the Design Team. You will not be disappointed! 
Just a quick one I did this weekend. Glenda over at Scrapper's Haven had a challenge and step by step to make these paper posies. They were fun to make but of course, I ended up getting stickles on just about everything!
Had a busy weekend - lots of kids at my house from Thursday night until this morning when I left for work. I am tired, but off to my visit my parents and grandmother tonight. Pasta with Shrimp for dinner...yummy!
are the dreamiest! This is a new challenge blog that will issue 2 challenges a month that are loads of fun and there will be a winner for each one with a sweet little RAK!!! Please come on over to the Dreamgirls site to take a look and leave a comment for a chance to win a RAK. Our site will officially open on April 1st and it is then that the DT will post their take on the challenge. I am so excited and honored to be chosen to work with this great group of girls.

I can't let you know what yet....but it going to lots of fun and I am very excited!!! I can't wait to tell you all.
Last night, I went to my very good friend, Sharron's house aka vintage girl at heart, and we got some scrapbooking done. We are going to try to do this weekly. But, first off we went to our lss and bought some sweet little maya road flowers and some fancy pants. She also loved the new Daisy Bucket! We are probably bad for each other because we both LOVE to shop for scrapbooking supplies - be it online or at our lss. It was a very fun and productive night and we both got a lot done! Of course, you can never go to Sharron's home and she does not have wonderul scrapbooking goodies to give - lots of trims, maya road flower box, flowers, vintage jars with pearls and what not! And her house, all decorated for easter - vintage style!!
The first layout is picture taken in 1985 of my hubby and I - I have never scrapbooked this picture and it is one of my favorite!
The next is two pictures taken from my mom's garden by Sharron - so pretty. I am planning on making a mini for her of her garden party last week - will share more late. 
And then another of my daughter Chesley - she loves taking pictures!
I am just loving the new Jenni Bowlin Bingo cards and paper - so pretty! I love this picture of Shelby - her hair color is gorgeous - I tell her all the time, "Don't every dye it!" I hope she listens. 
First of all, a Very Big "Thank You" to Scrapper's Haven for choosing as their guest Designer for March! I used My Minds Eye and BoBunny pattern paper - so pretty!! The grungeboard was new for me and I enjoyed inking, painting and sparkling it up. These pretty alpha stickers are called "Darling" by MME and worked wonderfully with my layouts. I also did a mini album and have enough goodies left to do another layout(which I will tonight!). Also, used lots of prima flowers too!
You Should go over and sign up for the Iron Chef at Scrapper's Haven. It starts the end of the month and there are going to be a bunch of fun challenges and the winner receives a Clip-it-up (top and bottom!). WoW!! Go over and check out the rules on the message board - it's going to be fun!
I am having the best day ever - Scrapbook Trends has requested a layout of mine for their Vacation Idea Book!! I am sooooo excited!!!! This is my first publication - it comes out in July!!! This is one very excited gal!!!
I have also been working very hard on my scapbooking layouts and mini album for my Scrapper's Haven Guest Designer Spot this month - almost done! I am just loving the papers from My Minds Eye and BoBunny and the Tim Holtz Grungeboard - lots of fun!
Hope your day is wonderful too!!
I've been tagged by Tami and Sharron!!!
Here are 7 random and/or weird (you be the judge) facts about me.
1. I am the oldest of seven children.
2. I was once kissed by one of my sister's boyfriends (okay....well I did kiss him back - but he started it!)
3. I first met my husband when I was 15 1/2 and he was 19. He thought I was 12 - I had a big time crush on him and kind of followed him around! We saw each other in passing over the next three years - I flirted shamelessly!! And almost three years to the date of when we first met - he asked me out and fell madly in love with me!! He REALLY did!! He said he would never be the kind of guy that called me everyday, blah blah blah! He could not get enough of me! We have been married for 21 years and are very happy.
4. I love to sing and I do not have a good voice! My girls hate it - so I make sure I do more of it!!
5. I think if I had to pick between reading and scrapbooking.........reading would win!! I love it that much!!
6. I am addicted to DIET COKE!!! My family calls me a "DC aholic"!! I drink 9+ cans a day! It is a sickness - so I've been told!
7. I love to drive with my top down - my car top that is - and feel the wind blowing - it is so much fun!!

I bought some Prima flowers, bling and ribbon and some SEI Jolie Chocolat at a new lss in my area this weekend. I think I went a little overboard with them - but I had fun and that is what counts, right?
My daughter, Chelsey, is going through a stage. Just about everytime she is having her picture taken or taken it of herself, there goes the peace sign and the tongue. She thinks she looks cute! This is one she took of herself. Crazy, funny girl!!
On another note, she did do awesome at her softball game today - scored 4 runs, 4 RBI's, and played shortstop fantastic! It was a fun day.
