Just sharing about my creative space. It has gotten out of control, to the point that there is really no place to be creative in there. I need to get organized. My friend Carol got a half of a garage full of silk flowers and such, so she gave a bit to me. Not sure what I am going to do with them all, but they are really pretty. I also got this cute garden gate at Home Goods, can't wait to display a bunch of art on it.

Another FieldTrip

Went on another fieldtrip today to Exposition Park in L.A. We got there early so we walked around the Coliseum. Warning: don't scroll down if you don't like to watch ER or CSI, or the like.
We also went to the Science Center where the kids got to do lots of experiments. Emma rode a bike on a rope about 3 stories high. The counter balance kept her up.

This is where the graphic stuff comes in. We also saw the Body World Exhibit. Very interesting.

See Julie trying to pose like this placisized human cadaver.

And here is the last pic of this guy holding his skin. Pretty cool huh. Emma is just to the left.

{S} words

It's another softball weekend. Which is perfectly fine with me. If I can't be doing the creative thing, then I certaintly will take to the fields any day. You would think that I might get tired of doing layouts of softball, but in all truth, I don't. They include my two favorite {S} words: {softball} and {scrapbooking}! Imagine that. Not to mention my favorite {E} word, {Emma}. Go Emma!

These are some painted ponies for a swap on atcsforall.com and some scrap pages I did over the weekend at the Red Bee. What projects are you working on? And, can you just not wait til summer? I have 12 days of work left. I am planning on not sleeping in, but getting up real early before the kids and havimg my creative time.

Birds and Bonnets

I have shared this before, but I used images and background papers from the Vintage Worshop Online Store. And because I did this swap I won another drawing. In the Birds and Bonnets swap I am one of the winners of a (virtual) $25 gift certificate for downloads from The Vintage Workshop. They have all kinds of vintage papers and images. So cool, can't wait to get some more vintage pictures. Thanks Karla and Beth and thanks Vintage Workshop.

Memorial Day Weekend

Happy belated Memorial Day. I took this picture yesterday from my back yard. We live in the flight path of Fairhaven Memorial Park, so every Memorial Day we see the planes fly over and they do the missing man formation. It's pretty cool how close they fly together. We also spent the weekend at the softball fields. I love watching this girl play. Go Tustin Silver 12U.

I made 10 of these yesterday for the From the Heart Charity Event coming up at the Red Bee on May 31st. If you want more details and to sign up for this great scrap event check it out here.
Here I was inspired by this blog and got out my Collage Unleashed book by Traci Bautista.
and these are some of the angel chunky book pages I received in the mail a while back. I love the one on the right by the artist Shelli Heisenann at Potbelly Arts. Thanks for looking. I'm feeling a giveaway coming on soon.
