Coronado-California

Just spend a week in sunny California, just the two of us and it was lovely...We needed to get away from work and wedding planning. It was a carefree trip and enjoyable all the way. We visited Coronado,  a beautiful beach to walk in the sand and really feel like we were the only ones there.

A little birthday book.

Had fun today finishing this little Birthday book for a beautiful  5 year old little girl. It was all done with Echo Park papers. Love the colors and also the design with several pages in complete different sizes. This makes the book fun for little hands.Some of the pages are really, really small inside the book. I think she will love that. She can now add pictures from her birthday party.

Spring

The beauty of spring is here, love the cherry blossoms and their pink beauty. Very busy times with wedding preparations, just stopping for a moment to enjoy the serenity of spring...

Scrapbooking Expo

All of you know my love for paper crafting...yesterday Krystel and I went to the Scrapbook Expo and we had lots of fun looking at ideas from favorite vendors and lots of new ones. For a year or so I contemplated the idea of buying  Sweet Tooth Boxes and The Flower Shoppe cartridge for the Cricut machine. With the first you can make all kind of little boxes for all type of treats, like cookies, cupcakes and the one I posted here for a cake slice...The second is for flower making and awww....it is so much fun...a cute daisy, vintage flowers and several other ideas. They were both $ 21 each at the Expo...we got both...We had a great time together and my daughter had her first experience watching ladies carrying tons of bags or the ones that carry their baby and use the stroller to transport all their bags..A lot of times you can be admiring a display and a complete stranger will start sharing all their projects with the same stamp set, cartridge or paper , and that is what is fun at the expo...I proudly ended the evening with just 2 new cartridges...a first for me,  i can't possible bring more paper home...This year is all about using what I have. But we both came home with tons of ideas and full of inspirations...

Butterflies

My fav of the moment are butterflies...I see more and more of them in the craft world. Love the butterfly punch from Martha Stewart and also the butterflies on the "Serenade" Cricut cartridge.
