The Bouquet Toss

Happy Saturday everyone! This page is from my sister-in-law's wedding from two years ago. It took place in Negril, Jamaica. You may remember me posting pictures from that trip. These photos are from the Bouquet Toss during the reception. 

That girl who caught the bouquet, yeah that's me. I got a little excited when I caught it! And I guess it's true that the girl who catches the bouquet gets married next because five days later I was engaged! :)

Wine Tasting in Chianti

As you may remember from a couple of months ago, I went to Italy. We were in the Chianti region which is famous for their Chianti Classico wine. So of course we had to go wine tasting. The one picture was taken at a local restaurant called Machiavelli, named so due to its famous visitor Niccolo Machiavelli, who was an Italian historian, politician, and writer in the 16th century. Much wine was consumed there. The other picture was taken at an independent San Giovese vineyard called Pomona. San Giovese grapes are the kind of grapes used to make Chianti Classico wine. We had samplings of their wine and olive oil and got to take a tour with a brief history lesson. Now, about the page. The "wine tasting" diecut is available at Picture This. The label is Lawn Fawn. The glasses are Memory Box. And the paper is Scrapbook Customs.

Colin 6 mos -Swagger

This is my adorable nephew Colin. He had his first photo shoot done at 6 months old by his mama who happens to be a photographer. For this page I used embellishments from Kaiser Craft "Mister Fox" Collectibles, Amy Tangerine "Match" alphabet chipboard stickers, and Fancy Pants Swagger line "Gallant" & "Humorous". Easy, peesy, and adorable.

New stuff

We got in a huge shipment today! New Simple Stories paper collections, Dienamics, and much more! Take a look!

CONGRATULATIONS to all of the 2014 graduates!!!!

Fun Finds

So as you all may have noticed, I have been MIA for the last month. I apologize. I seen to do my blogging in spurts, a few months of good blogging, then it slows down, and then a month passes with no new posts. Again, sorry. :(

In my defense, I have had a VERY busy month. As you may remember, I had a trip to Italy in May. It was tons of fun! I got to drink wine, see Florence, and bond with my 6 mo old nephew. Shortly after I returned, my grandma was admitted into the hospital and ended up in surgery to remove a tumor. Turns out she had stage 4 colon cancer. So I have been spending a lot of my free time with her and my mom. And then there's the fact that summer is finally here and my husband and I have so many things to do around the house, getting a new roof being one of them. So I've been keeping busy. 

However, my little brother just graduated high school last week and though I didn't have the time to finish his scrapbook for graduation, his birthday is in August, and I will have plenty of time to finish it by then. So in the near future up until August I should have lots of pages to post for you! 

To appease you for the moment, here are some (new) fun finds around Picture This that I discovered this weekend.

I don't think that this sympathy set is new, but it's a really great stamp set. Having gone through everything with my grandma, I've been thinking about supplies that I  need for sympathy cards a lot.

But this one is for my youngest brother who loves mustaches (he's too young to grow one himself).

And I had to buy the Tim Holtz Movers & Shapers "Mini Mustache and Pointing Finger" die so that I could make my brother mustaches out of paper and felt. Now he can stop buying the sticky ones from the dollar store. Teehee.

Happy Father's Day everyone!

Thank you for sticking with me!

Stop in today on this beautiful spring day!
