We had an awesome vacation!

2011-03-05T10:11:00.009-05:00

Taking a short break in all the digi scrap posts to share some pictures with you from our recent cruise! This is our second cruise, the first being in 2008. I won't go into many details about the cruise, just that it had its pros and cons this time. I am going to show you our pictures so you can see for yourself all of our awesome, once in a lifetime experiences!

First day was a day at sea:

We stopped at Cozumel, Mexico on our second day. The excursion we chose for this day was swimming with the dolphins! This was absolutely one of the most fun things we did this trip!

The next day was a stop in Belize. My husband and oldest daughter went out cave tubing while I and my youngest relaxed aboard the ship (Jolene is too young to do this excursion.)

Next up was Roaton, Honduras. This was a spectacular island...really gorgeous!

The last stop of the cruise was Grand Cayman...Stingray City baby!

We still had one more day on the cruise, as the ship needed one day to get back to the Port of Miami. I spent most of this day getting packed and ready to disembark the next morning. We had one day in Florida. We flew out of Ft. Lauderdale, so we went to the Ft. Lauderdale beach late Sunday afternoon.

GREAT sale at The Shoppe!

It only took me 8 months, but I am finally done with my sisters' wedding album!!!! Yay me!!!! Seriously, it is bitter sweet because I loved doing this for her and I will miss seeing her beautiful face in my pages. So, here is the last page made with Mother's Love Collab, by NBK and Tempus Fugit.

This collaboration came out a really long time ago, but I adore the colors and how this page turned out with this kit. And if you like what you see, you are in luck because ALL bundles are on sale this weekend at The Shoppe for only 6.99 Euros!

Speed Scrap at Scrap Matters with LDrag Designs

2010-06-14T09:56:00.005-04:00

Some of you may not know what a speed scrap is. Basically, the hostess gives you a set of instructions every 10-15 minutes to create an entire scrapbook page. The reason it is called "Speed Scrap" is because you only have 2 hours to create the page. Don't let that turn you off! They can be really fun because you can work outside of your 'normal' creativity box! And best of all, you earn a participation prize just for finishing and posting your page! So, please join LDrag Designs for a speed scrap this Sunday at Scrap Matters!

Here is the lovely participation prize!!!:

You should be able to find a thread for this speed scrap HERE:
