Creating The Crafty Life "Take Me Away" Blog Hop (Closed)

-
 Welcome to the CCL
"Take Me Away" Blog Hop!
Thank you for stopping by!

If you have just come from Tiffany's blog you are on the
right track....

Here is the lineup,....I'm the last stop!

Teresa - Scrappin T Place
Tiffany - Maineokie Scrapers
We are to create something that represented
vacations, destinations or places we would like to visit!
So, lucky me, I had the fortunate opportunity to attend my 20th high school reunion in July.  I say that dripping with sarcasm, of course!  The festive reunion happened to coincide with me and my husband's fifteen year wedding anniversary.  And, yes, they all happened in the same city...lucky us!  Killed two birds with one stone on that one!  The great thing about it was we were able to visit the same beautiful place we got married, see the church and experience the same things we did, hiking in the Ruby Mountains of Lamoille Canyon, Nevada.  Despite the sudden rain storm, we enjoyed every minute of it and I put our pictures in a Mini Album to share with all of you!  
I used BoBunny Country Garden papers on the cover and throughout my pages.

 Inside the front cover I added an envelope for all the extra pictures we took...there were so many!  The scenery was so beautiful, it was hard not to take a picture of every tree and rock we stumbled upon.
After our hike in the canyon we made a special stop at the church we were married at fifteen years before.  Still pretty as ever!

I won't bore you with the other other pages that look almost like this one, because you get the idea.  I made this mini out of some packaging from the oil and vinegar bottles I bought at World Market months ago.  See, saving things you'd normally throw away can save you a step or two in the mini album business...
Here's the packaging before the pretty papers! :)

My Fave Monday...Card Kit + Giveaway!

I've been into making cards for the past five years or so.  Like a lot of paper crafters, I started out scrap booking.  I still do it but there is something about making a card that gives instant gratification to my impatient creative mind.  I love to have a project done start to finish in  a good hour.  Not so when it comes to scrap booking because there's all these moments, pictures and times to remember.  I might be exaggerating but that's how it seems to me. It's why I think kits are a great concept!  All the opportunities of a free thinking individual project in one complete package and guess what?  I found the coolest kit last week! Knowing me...I know you don't but pretend you do, and while you're at it you can pretend that you like me the best along with just knowing me, I mean, as long as you're pretending and all... I'm a sucker for a good kit.  Here it is in black,white and color:        ...

I have been MIA for awhile on my blog and feel like I have some 'splaining to do...I got a full time job. I haven't worked a full time job in eighteen years. When I had my daughter (she's 18 now) I went to part time work so I could take care of her, then to full time stay at home mom when I had my second daughter. We never wanted anyone else taking care of our kids, and like so many other parents out there, we decided I would only work part time if needed while we raised our kids. I was so fortunate to have the opportunity to be there for my children when they needed me most. I have to say that it was and always has been a conscious choice. Life is full of choices and we chose to have two wonderful children with a Mom who could stay home to raise them. I know what it's like to be left to daycare, preschools, babysitters and family members while growing up and I never wanted that for my own children. I have great respect and honor for my own Mother and all she sac...
