WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

Welcome one and all to my little world! What will you find here, you ask? Well, you will definitely see a lot having to do with my favorite hobby - scrapbooking (both traditional & digital) and paper crafts. I also like to post tidbits about my life every once in a while to keep it "personal." The biggest stars in my world are my son, William, and my hubby (and biggest fan), David! I hope you enjoy it here, and please feel free to become a follower (Click "Follow this Blog" below to the right!). I'm constantly adding new ideas, great deals I may find on craft goodies and you may even run into a tutorial every now and then! Happy Blogging! :o) ~Vicky Jo

"I Love Eggs" LO

Very sad, but this is all I have to show for in the scrapping department for the last month! It's a 100% lift from Kelly Goree using Basic Grey Lime Rickey!

2 more LOs

Just a couple more layouts I did the other night...

This one uses the Fancy Pants "papa" collection and some SU kraft cardstock.

This one uses a page from the B&W butterfly stack from M&MBI, some chip chatter letters and I cut the black music notes from some glitter paper by Marcella K using my Cricfut Joys of the season cart.

"Simply You"

One more left from the night I finally scrapped...

This was using the Fancy Pants "All Fall" line, chatterbox chipboard letters and blue Heidi Grace alpha stickers.


Fun in the Sun

William had a great time this past weekend playing in his blow-up water park! This little guy just LOVES the water!

And of course.... the FACE!

WOO HOO! I scrapped!

I finally got some much-needed scrappin done last night!

I just love this LO - I finally got to use some of my Sassafrass and Graphic 45 paper. The "fashionista" line from G45 went really well with this.

I started this one a looooooooooooong time ago at my friend, Michelle's house. I finally put the finishing touches on last night and can say it's done! I think the whole thing is from the Crate Paper "Lemongrass" collection, except for the arylic letters (KI memories) and the twill tape (stampin' up!).

Big Boy Bed!

Look who's got himself a big boy bed, now! It's a little plain looking at the moment, becuase I plan to custom-design some graphics for the car using my cricut! Hope to do that and post pics soon as soon as I dig myself out of my hole! lol. Buddy loves it though, and we've had ZERO problems with the transition!

Free Dingbat Font for SCAL!

Here's a great freebie font for any of you who use SCAL with your Cricut!

http://cleversomeday.wordpress.com/2009/05/24/new-free-dingbat-font-for-die-cutters/

WOAH!!!

Just had to share some great pics from Megan's birthday party this weekend (Thanks to Mr. Webb for taking and sending these to me... I was a dork and left my camera at home!)

This was William's first experience on a jumping balloon and slide! He had a blast! His first trip down the slide was with mommy:

Second trip down was solo:

Then he decided he wanted to go back up by himself too.... {Spiiiderman, Spiiiderman.... does whatever a spiiider can....}

The next trip down didn't go so well....

...but he took it like a champ and got right back in again. :o)

What a Happy Mother's Day!

Before I had to leave for Tampa, I had a great Mother's Day at the in-laws house! We had a great time swimming in the wonderfully warm pool and cooking out som amazing food!

Here's the little buddy ready to hit the "waves"

He had such a good time hanging with his cousins!

What a little hunk! :o) (Must take after his daddy!)

He absolutely loved this game.... basically, daddy would throw him up in the air, and he'd land with a big splash!

YAY! I got a picture with my buddy on Mother's Day!!! (Thanks, hon!)

"My Boys" Binder Album

This is the first time I've ever done an "empty" album... I made this one for my step-mom, and left the pages "blank" for her to add pictures of my step-brothers. The binder album is from Maya Road, and the PP I used is K&Co "Rough & Tumble" line. The letters are AC Thickers, except for the last page, which are Heidi Swapp.
