sharing time

at the beginning of this year, i was inspired by emily falconbridge's deck of me challenge to start doing weekly artwork on a deck of playing cards. later in the year, this talented chica inspired me even further with her daily card art. so i abandoned emily's weekly prompts and started making cards whenever i felt like saying something pretty. normally, i don't post them online in my galleries, but the last two i've made i've really liked and felt like showing them to The Internet. so Internet, here are my cards.

for the top one: i printed off an image from one of the new ipod ads (that i love for the gorgeous colors and watercolor effect) and typed up some words on my computer. print, cut, glue, done. easy. for the bottom card: the words are cut from an anthropologie catalog. i sanded the card, added an american crafts rubon (a gift from stephanie) and glued on the strips. again, easy.

thanks for looking, Internet. :)

perfect day

We had today the first clear, warm weather we've had in over a week. (It snowed on Easter!) I loved it. Chris and I went to church early this morning and then I came back and did some homework. I opened the window and let the gorgeous fresh air relax me completely. I watched the Braves kick some Marlins tail and went to Starbucks with my favorite Alisha. Then I got crazy with my scrapbook stuff. :) I did four pages - probably a record. Woo! I just sat there cutting and glueing away, listening to the kids outside my window blowing bubbles.

I was supposed to play badminton at 5, which I was really excited about, but my people canceled on me. So lame. So I just kept scrapping, and then went to a friend's recital at 8. My first vocal recital! It was really cool; I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Here's hoping the whole week is as good as today!

scrappy things

first of all: HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADRE!!

now, onto the previously scheduled programming:

I thought I'd share with mi familia - that is, you - some of the scrapbook pages I've done lately featuring my pictures from Jekyll Island.

this one is fun - party with the familly:


one of my favorites - i needed something super cool to showcase all of our excellent discoveries:


another one of my favorites. you probably can't read it, but the little pink strip down the side says "pretty shnazzy." :)

one about ian and the totally random question he asked me and knew the answer to:

and of course, bryce chasing down the beach ball:
i hope you like them! :)
