A girls weekend in Spokane

I loved spending a weekend with my daughter and my niece - just us girls. You know, I loved when the kids were little ... but I sure do love hanging out with them now that they're young adults!

Go See The World

I played on the computer tonight. I'm not sure what it is, but I absolutely adore this photo of my daughter! She just looks so happy!

Spring Break Vacation | Ziplining & Cave Tubing in Belize

This 2 page layout is super busy but I had so much fun putting together. And you know how I mentioned how quick my last page went together. That was definitely not the case with these pages. I was tweaking these pages for hours. That was a lot of fun too! Good thing I love the process!

Spring Break Vacation | Cozumel

I hope you aren't getting bored with me sharing so many vacation pages. Can you tell I'm working on my album?

This page, from Cozumel, went together super fast. My pages usually take me a long time to put together but for some reason this one took me less than a half hour. That's so odd. I love it though!

Spring Break | Summertime

Ahhh ... I love summer. I'm sitting on my patio with a cup of coffee scrapping for just a short while before work. Heaven!

Spring Break Vacation | 5 "artsy" pages to share

I've been great night. I've been designing pages for our spring break vacation album and it's been a lot of fun. I'm really enjoying this "artsy" style for this album! I've got 5 pages to share with you tonight.

FYI, I'm not keeping a real particular list of credits for these pages. Just note that I'm primarily using products by Anna Aspnes along with this and that from other designer's kits in my digi stash.

Some more vacation pages ...

I'm having a lot of fun with this album! All pages created with designs by Anna Aspnes.

Spring Break Vacation | New Orleans (3 more pages!)

I'm having fun getting started on my vacation album. I'm embracing the "artsy" style for this themed album. It sure is different for me, but it's so much fun!

FYI, I'm creating these vacation pages primarily with designs by Anna Aspnes at OScraps.

Spring Break Vacation | New Orleans (Anna Aspnes Designs)

I'm getting started creating my album for our spring break vacation. I decided to go for a different style than my norm for this album and I'm enjoying it. I'd been seeing some really fun pages using Anna Aspnes' artsy designs so I picked up some kits over NSD and I've been playing.  Like I mentioned, it's a stretch from my normal style but it sure is fun to change things up with a theme album. Here are my first few random pages for my album!

Volleyball Memories (Anna Aspnes artsy style)

I had coffee with scrapping friends this week. My friend Ann Marie shared with me a vacation album she created in the Anna Aspnes artsy style. It was gorgeous! I decided that's the style I'm going to use for my upcoming spring break vacation album.  I'm anxious to get started but unfortunately I'm not going to allow myself to start until I send my 2014 album off to print. Anyway ... 

I've also been seeing a friend, Heather, sharing all the incredible artsy pages she created with Anna's designs so with lots of hand holding and FB chats with Heather this weekend ... and direction on what is great stuff to buy ... and taking advantage of the great iNSD sales this weekend ... I got started.

Like I mentioned, I haven't started my vacation album yet, but I did dip my toe into the artsy style with this volleyball "foto inspired" page. What a blast!
