Surf's Up 6x6 Accordion Album

Whoo-hoo! It's FRIDAY!!!  Who's ready for the weekend?!  Summer is here and I thought I'd create something summer inspired to share.

I used the My Creations™ 6x6 Accordion Album and the Surf's Up Paper Packet to create this nifty 8-page album perfect to hold those weekend pictures from the beach or pool.

Stamp Sets:
Posterboard (retiring)

Happy Hump Day My Crafty Friends!

Have you seen the Geico "Hump Day" commercial?  It's freakin' hilarious!  (must be said like Hula in Adam Sandler's movie, "50 First Dates).





 My motto is: "No matter what you do (for a living), HUMP day is HUMP day." I currently yoga, blog, craft, and babysit my sister's kids, and OMG, they know when it's HUMP day. =)  I love them so much though.  HOWEVER, today's hump day began with dropping off all of my ohana to the airport for travel to HI, first Maui for a wedding and then Oahu for pleasure.  The hubs and I decided not to go for many reasons: He has a solo art show next week, financials, and we have another Maui wedding in November, in which it's one of my best friends so we had my ohana represent us the first time around. :)

Okay enough of  me blabbing, just wanted to remind everyone that it's getting down to the last days of the CTMH May 2013 National Scrapbooking: Dream Pop Paper Packet Special...Anyone still wanna order? Spend only $35 and you can get this diverse packet for only $10. =) I love it!  Usually when I buy the constant campaigns and SOMs until AFTER the fact.  So I am impressed with myself that I actually used them during the month of.

Here's what I created so far (I really took advantage of it!):

Cheetah Bridal Shower Scrapbook

A long time friend, who hasn't jumped on the scrapbooking wagon asked me to make a bridal shower "cheetah" themed 12"x12" scrapbook for her sister.  So here it is!

I used the "Magic" Scrapbooking Program by CTMH's founder, Jeanette Lynton.  This was my first time using the book and I had it for at least two years!  I absolutely L.O.V.E it! Just like the instructions included in the Workshop On the Go's it makes scrapbooking fast, fun, and easy!  And, it helps your scrapbooking creativity increase and teaches you how to save on paper.  I am so glad that I got it before it retired during the last catalog.
