wow~ i actually am posting!!

Ok, so i have been totally neglecting my blog. But hey, who really looks at my blog! i just had to follow everyone else and say i have a blog. So here i am, finally posting. A couple of months late, but anyway. I love "junk" shopping. it is one thing my husband and i can really enjoy doing together. At least i like when he is with, so he can pay for my loot!! anyway, i am really loving the vintage postcards, and when i found this one, i had to have it. who knows where it is now, as i am sure my mom either threw it away or burned it in the fireplace :( oh well. i used glimmermist,bling, and kraft paper and handmade flowers.

A CowBoY CarD f

Here is a super fast card that i put together for my second cousin's 90th birthday party. i used stamps from close to my heart and stamping up and tim holtz distress inks.

I have found my new FavOriTE CandY

yip yip, thank goodnes my computer decided to let me online tonight, because i was able to go look at the blogs i follow. I got to the second one, Creating from the heart, look on the left side for a link to her blog. You just might want to check out the blog candy Melissa has, i would never need chocolate again. i will still need my Coke though! this is really hard for me to share :( because i am stingy and the less that enter, the great my chances. just call me violet from willy wonka!

FINALLY A POST, AND IT IS A LAYOUT OF BEN

OK, SO I HAVE REALLY BEEN BLOG NEGLECTING. I HAVE NEGLECTED MY BLOG AS WELL AS THOSE THAT I VISIT ALMOST DAILY. SOMETIMES LIFE GETS AHEAD OF YOU. I HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY DOING LAYOUTS, VERSUS SURFIN' AND BLOG HOPPING. I THINK I HAVE GOTTEN ALMOST 8 PAGES (ALMOST) DONE IN A WEEK. THEY ALL NEED THE FINAL TOUCH, BUT I DON'T THINK I USUALLY GET THAT DONE IN A YEAR!!

THIS IS A PAGE I DID LAST MONTH OF BEN. BEN WAS ONLY 2.5 YEARS OLD IN THIS PICTURE. WHAT A SWEET CHILD I DO HAVE. I AM A BLESSED MOM! THE PAGE IS VERY SIMPLE BUT I LIKE THE WAY IT TURNED OUT. LOTS OF DISTRESS INK, ACRYLIC PAINT, AND GLIMMER MIST. THANKS FOR LOOKING!

ELiZaBeTh CaRviLLe and ELiZaBetH CarViLLe LyNN

Here is another layout of Ellie's baptism. This is my grandma holding her. They share the same name, other then the Lynn that i added to Ellie's middle names. My grandma was so important to me growing up and i love looking at this picture. The baptism outfit is the same one that my niece Brittany and Ben were baptised in. Prima paper, prima packaging, prima bling, prima flower, smooch spritz, craft supply flowers, and of course my VINTAGE flower center. I glimmer misted the craft flowers. I really love the Prima stitched paper...

Ellie's BAPTISM

Here is a layout of Ellie's Baptism. I have had this paper prior to even having a baby girl so i have had it for a while. It is not what i would typically scrap with now, but since i had it, i decided to use it. I had to glimmer mist it, to had a little messiness to it. Prima bling, flowers, and butterflies. AND A HORRIBLE PICTURE OF ME!!!!! actually i can not believe that i have posted this on the blog.
