It’s the first of the month…

Apr 2, 2007

which means I can show you some lay­outs I cre­ated for Scrap­Gal. This months theme is con­fess. Below are a few things I have to con­fess. But first if you can, you really need to read the Scrap­Gal newslet­ter. Dina did a fab­u­lous job putting it together. You will love all the lay­outs the design­ers cre­ated. As well as the but­ton arti­cle Celeste Smith wrote.… lots of ideas for buttons.

Image removed for pub­li­ca­tion. You will be able to see this in the Spring 2008 issue of Scrap­book­ing & Beyond.

I wish I could hon­estly say this photo was taken Decem­ber 1^st but I must con­fess it was not, it was taken March 1^st. Yep, that’s right MARCH 1^ST! Every year, I tell myself I’m tak­ing our Christ­mas tree down before the mid­dle of Jan­u­ary but when the time arrives… I just can’t make myself do it. I won’t start tak­ing it down until I have no other choice and when the tem­per­a­tures warm up and the scent of spring fills the air, I feel the need. If I could only fig­ure out a way to hide our tree all dec­o­rated and out of the way I would. Oh how won­der­ful it would be to have it hid­den. Then as soon as the hol­i­days begin pull it out, plug it in and let the Christ­mas cheer begin.

I have clutched you tightly in my hands for over 20 years. You have been with me at every job, on every road trip, after the birth of each daugh­ter and every other mon­u­men­tal moment in my life. There is noth­ing more pleas­ing to the ear on a hot sum­mer day than to hear the pop of your top and the fizz of you being poured into a tall ice filled glass. But I must con­fess at times there have been oth­ers… Sprite Zero, Diet Dr. Pep­per and Pepsi One. But I always come back to you as you are my one true love…. There’s just one Diet Coke and you’re the one for me.

Scrap Scene has some cute Easter Projects listed and I’m so happy Angie has my Eater Cards listed. Angie updates a lot so you may need to scroll down a bit. She also has the Bliss Purse Album by Mou Saha. She is the guest designer this month for Cocoa Daisy. I tell you Mou is one tal­ented lady. I just love all her work. Speak­ing of love… I love the Scalloped-Edged Mini Egg book Erin Lin­coln cre­ated. It is just too cute.

Also, my Easter Mini Album and Altered Mason Jars are now in pub­li­ca­tion. My mini album is in the April Scrap­book Trends and my Altered Mason Jars are in the April/May Paper Trends. The Blos­soms II Chip­board pieces by Maya Road fit per­fectly on the lid. They are really fun to make and take no time at all. Well gotta go and fin­ish typ­ing up my sup­ply lists and instruc­tions for some lay­outs. Hope you all have a won­der­ful Monday.
