A Day at the Aquarium

One of my most favorite places to spend a morning is

to go to the Long Beach Aquarium and to Bubba Gumps

for lunch.  We had the chance last weekend and I tried a

different camera to get some photos and they came out 

pretty good.  I wanted to scrap them but thought i better just 

share and get those done maybe this week.  

the jelleyfish were so cool and this one

liked to have it's picture taken :)

 The plant life under the ocean can be really

gorgeous and the colors in this were so pretty...

 The lighting in the tank made this look like 

they were swimming in outer space. It's hard

to believe they are so deadly poisonous....

 And lastly this is my favorite!!  I love sea horses ever

since i can remember and these cool little guys can

only be found in Australia... Going to have to go there 

for an Aquarium trip I guess along with other things!!

Thanks for stopping by,

My favorite Disney Album

  

I have made this album lots of ways from the 

orginal that I did for Pine Cone Press Publication

and everyone asked for more kits again so I used the

new papers from Pine cone and some stickers from EK

to make this newer version of it.  

For this book you need chipboard and cardstock to create

the cover and then you need five pockets from the ellison die.

I put clear acetate inside on the windows so that I can add stickers

and other embellishments.  Pine Cone designed little cards

with this collection that fit perfect in the pockets for journaling

and then you can also mat photos and put them inside.

For all of us with Disney passes this book is great because you

can add lots of photos for a quick trip to remember!!

Thanks for stopping by,

Something different...

They have some new dies out for Sizzix and

i made this teacup out of Basic Grey and

this fun little mini suitcase out of Bo 

Bunny yesterday....  They were pretty quick

to put together and fun to give for a gift with

something special inside or maybe candies

or something like that too....  it was really fun!!

 The Teacup only takes one piece of paper
 and chipboard and then you can decorate it anyway
you would like.  The papers are the new Out of Print
from Basic Grey and it had the perfect flower print for this.

 I think I would still like to add some stitching around this
if I did another one and a cute little fold out book inside
but for the first one it's not so bad I think...

You have probably noticed that I don't do white space

pages and am challenged ALOT at this but I tried and

I was pretty happy with it.  I was going to name it something

different but I found this flower that looks like an oyster

and had to rename it my little pearl.... she is still a little 

fishy girl and plans to go into biology to train dolphins and 

those kinds of mammals...  I hope she makes it :)

Feelin kind of creative these days......

As promised i finished a few of the cards that I am

making out of the new Out of Print by Basic Grey

and really having fun.  The papers are soooo much cuter

in person (photos never do things justice) and it was fun

to use some of the new embossing folders by Sizzix that

just came out that i needed to add to my stash of other
things I don't really need and make some more flowers..
These are so much fun to do!!!

I really liked how this came together with
all the pinks and browns.  Budget couldn't afford
all the pre-made things so I made the flower and
added my own leaves.   Tina says there is some
amazing things coming out at the CHA show for
Spellbinders so I am saving my pennies for that!!

These flowers are from a Sizzix die and are smaller
so it was a great thing to pick up to add to my bigger
flower dies....  I really like how they came out :)

I wanted to make more cards that I didn't have to color
so much so I found some great stamps from Fiskars
that have lots of sayings and are pretty inexpensive and
they work really good for the money....

Thanks for stopping by and I have more to share
so I will have lots more posts coming up soon!

A spring day full of flowers....

Time sure flies when you are scrapping doesn't it? I got

lots done over the weekend and will have lots to post

this week.  I am trying to catch up on photos in my files

and it's really fun just remembering all the fun we had!!

But I have some good knews too.  I did this layout

of my daughter in her new dress she bought and it wasn't

so much the really cute dress but how big her smile was

when she got all dressed up in it for the wedding...  and

I got it on the Basic Grey website too!!  I am so happy :)

I got some of the new out of print last week and have

another layout and some cards and will post those this week! 

If you haven't seen it in person it's fantastic and you can do

lots of different things with it and has great goodies that match!!  

i made the heart circle with a spellbinders die and 

made the spikey looking flowers with my Sizzix die.  

The borders are with a Martha Stewart punch. 

This is just a little frame that I did for a demo in the 

store with Sizzix dies.  They have lots of cute things

and especially flower dies that are really fun to play with!!

This book is by Prima and we were supposed to do

something else but my creative head said to do it 

another way and this is how it came out.  The papers

are filled with gorgeous flowers and we had fun misting

all the prima flowers to match with Tattered Angels 

sprays.  I could get hooked on all this wonderful 

messiness!!  It is fun to spray and use the screens if

you haven't tried them yet! 

Well that is all for today......

Hugs,   Teresa

What a fun surprise....

So I want to thank Julie for reminding me to go on the 

Webster's live chat because not only was it just insane 

watching all those people leave messages and trying to read

them but I got to hear about Julie's New digital designs and

I got to get a really great deal from Websters.  Last week

in my mail I got this huge box filled with lots and lots of 

Webster's papers, flowers, buttons, tags and so much

more and you know i had to sit down and make something cute!!

So my first is this page about my grandma's house

It was fun to mix all these colors together and I even

punched a few to fill in with the ones I got from Websters'.

I love all the postcards and little bits and pieces

that came in the box.  It was fun to mix and match

all the things with stuff I already had to make these 

cards.  And they sent some fun things I probably 

wouldn't have normally bought so it made it that much

more of a really fantastic thing to get in the mail :)  Loved it!!

Thanks for stopping and checkin out my creations

 and have a wonderful day !!!
