Congrats Bob & Kathy!

Had a request to make a Non-Traditional Wedding Scrapbook. The ladies who hired me helped in choosing some of the papers, some sayings, and some embellishments. This is a second wedding being held on the beaches of Jamaica! Had a blast making it, I hope Bob & Kathy love it!

Thank you Amy & Susan for allowing me to be a part of this special occassion! Oh how I LOVE what I do!!

Happy Birthday Ellie Scott!

This coming Saturday, Ellie Scott will be celebrating her birthday at My Creative Clubhouse! Ellie wanted a project that was an "Under the Sea" theme, and specifically wanted a whale and seahorse included. I had a GREAT time designing this, so I hope she and her guests have fun making these and taking them home!



I totally love the "pearl necklace" and the "gold coins" I added to the treasure chest! This was a LOT of fun to design. It is a dry erase, so the kids can write on these, and then wipe them off again!

I really enjoy the different birthday party projects I have been able to design for the birthday parties here!

Next month I have another birthday scheduled, so be watching for the Dog & Cat themed mini album!
