Gotham City Stampers

That day in the city was one of my all time favorite days! We laughed and smiled and just enjoyed being together. I used that same Swirlydoos Kit from yesterday’s post. This time, I really wanted to pictures to speak for themselves so I added a few embellishments here and there.  The kit had four [...]

Yep, you guessed it–my sisters, brother-in-law and Sweet Reghan came to NYC to visit Marty & I a week before Christmas. We had only a few hours together but managed to pack them FULL of sightseeing activities. These pictures were taken at a favorite eating spot of ours, Ellen’s Stardust Diner, where the waitstaff sings [...]

SO excited! At the end of this month, we are starting a new monthly scrapbooking class at Rock Paper Scissors. This class is perfect for scrappers of any level. Each month will have a different “focus”–this month we are scrappin’ our Holiday Pictures! I will show you have to use ScrapMaps to design amazing no-fuss [...]

This page was SO much fun to make. I think I had to make about a dozen of them. These were for a swap that I did a few months ago. What I love the most about this is the use of corrugated cardboard. I LOVE using cardboard with paints & sprays in my projects. [...]

Marty and I enjoyed a tranquil, beautiful day of exploring Lower Manhattan. On this particular day, we were not able to get into the 9/11 Memorial but founds ways to catch a glimpse. When I scrapbooked this day, I really focused on the pictures and the progress of this area. The papers & embellishments came [...]

This NYC page is inspired by all of the things that I learned from Christy Tomlinson. I enjoy an art journaling swap with two of my artsy friends. I LOVE it because there are no rules-just create, have fun! I sit down to work on the journals and never, ever have a plan. I just [...]

Swirlydoos is ADDICTING! These layouts are from a beautiful day in New York City. Marty & I went to Battery Park and enjoyed roaming around, sneaking peeks at the 9/11 Memorial and eating lunch with The Statue of Liberty as our backdrop. It was a FABULOUS day together! How gorgeous are those resin and metal [...]

My crafty friends are the BEST! Our circle of friends started a little over five years ago-through the years ladies have trickled in and out of my life. This group of gals has remained true! The coolest part is that ART is what initially bonded us together. Our love of creativity makes for some unforgettable [...]

These separates really caught my eye! I am really into chic, neutral pallettes lately. I don’t have a khaki skirt but it is now on my list. Using these outfits as inspiration has really helped my shopping. I now see the pieces that are “missing” from my wardrobe. Let me know if you know of [...]

Another one from the vault! I made these flowers for a swap quite some time ago. They were fun but took LOTS of time. The biggest mistake that I made? I didn’t make any of these for myself…duh. I look at these pictures and wish I had a big basket of them for me to [...]
