A Really Fun day....

 So if you haven't gotten the chance to go to Mission Inn resort and spa you are in for a real treat!!!  I am going to sound like a commercial but this place is just gorgeous and a hidden treasure in Riverside California.  I got to go and spend the day with a few Scrapbooking companies making some really fun projects and this is where we had it!!  Can I just say WOW!!  It was built in the 1800's for wealthy people to come for the good weather and just kept getting bigger as the decades past... And every inch of it is

just amazing and gorgeous!!  I love, love, love old things can't you tell?  Anyway it was a perfect day and I had lots of fun with Kelly and we had a fabulous lunch and made a big mess and had lots and lots of fun......

It's that time again for Card Club and I came up with an idea

to take the stickers and a 6x6 pad of Basic Grey and make

as many cards as i can with the pad.  Officially I did 10 but

I still have more paper so I am going to keep going and see what

happens :)  For class they are just doing 6 of them since they

only have 3 hours but I was pretty happy with the results and

I even got a few on the Basic Grey Gallery!! Whoo hooo!!

That really made my day!!!  

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great weekend!!

Love those antique papers

I had this idea to mix my spellbinders with one of the

border punches and a cute photo that I needed to scrap

and I really like it.  You don't always have to do the 

theme of a paper or a photo, sometimes it is the message

that you share so that they will remember how much 

that you love them or think of them far off in the distant future!

Paper, rub ons and letters are from the New Pink
Paislee Nature Santuary line.  I love the colors and
all the prints, it was really fun to do....

Card Club for April with Stampendous

It's card club weekend and part 1 of my class loved making all

the new cards and having fun folding and making all the fun 

little pockets inside too.  All the stamps are from the New

Stampendous Collections and I think it was a real hit!!  They
liked making the victorian lady the best..... Still

have the second class today so I better go and get things ready

for all of them.  Have a great day everyone!!

It has been a great week of catching up with everything

and I had a chance to squeeze in some time to make a few

cards out of some new papers that I got last weekend.

I am kind of in to making shaped cards and things that 

fold out in different ways these days and of course everything

 has my new spellbinders on it.  They are really fun and

I love the new flowers and leaves so if you haven't gotten

a hold of these you need to get them!  They are a must have :)

I didn't put words yet on this because
I have to find the perfect thing to say....

Amazing trip to Zion...

Here is just a few of the many photos from our trip to Zion this

last weekend.  I love taking nature photos and a unexpected

snowstorm on friday dumped lots of snow our way and it was

just amazing to take pictures of and surprisingly it wasn't really

very cold even though it looks that way. 

This is the hike at the top of the valley.  It runs along the river for about

a mile and a half and then you can go into the narrows.  We 

are going to be back in summer to hike through the water for that :)

I just love the way the red rocks, snow and blue sky look together

for this one.  It is such a cool place because as the sun moves then

the lights change and everything is just more gorgeous!!

I have this same shot in fall too looking up to the top of the valley

and it looks so different in the snow.

This photo is at the top of the valley on the other side of the tunnel.

We drove through to see this fabulous winter wonderland and lots

of waterfalls on the rocks.  The flakes were huge too and later 

that day it turned into little tiny hail balls and it looked like the inside

of a bean bag chair.  It was just so breathtaking for a Cali girl :)

Over at the Bellagio in Vegas they have a huge garden inside

and at the back of the front desk and the theme this time 

was butterflies.  They had all my most favorite flowers everywhere 

by the 100's and a green house filled with gorgeous butterflies everywhere. 

 It smelled so good from all the flowers that were everywhere.

This picture is the view from our room in the Paris.  We got an

upgrade and I guess the women at the desk liked us because

this was just amazing!!  We even got to watch the fountains

of the Bellagio from our room and the weather was alot warmer

than in Zion.  It was a super awesome, restfull, wonderful trip!
