Shadow & Her First Vote

Here is a LO of my dog Shadow. He's a cocker spaniel that loves attention, being lazy & FOOD.



I never got a chance to put together a LO of my young one casting her first vote. It was a very special day for her and for me.

Two New Layouts

Here are two Layouts I did for the SistasScrapToo challenge. It also helped me kick start my Michael Jackson Scrap album...




This is a pic my two kids (on each end) and my angel niece (in the middle). Believe or not, there's over 16 years between the three of them!

Weekend Layouts

Here are some layouts I worked on this weeekend.

This is a pic of my BFF since High School. She was one of the two best friends I leaned on when I lost my mom a few years ago. Friends are precious....



These ladies are part of the SMTTZ Corporation. They know how to party!


And this is my mom in her younger days.

Viva Las Vegas!

This weekend I went to Vegas with a few of my friends and Gurl, did I have a good time. I really wanted to stay! I'm trying to convince Hubby to go but I won't be holding my breath.

First, we rode to the hotel in a limo...Diva style



Partied that night....




Relaxed the next day...


And was clubbin Saturday night...

GASC In Virginia

I went to the Great American Scrapbook Convention in Dulles, Virginia and I had a ball! After eight hours, my head was spinning and my feet was sore but I'll be there again next year..... Here are a few things I won, made and bought.

Happy Father's Day

I did this card for my hubby on Father's Day. Teri is a CTMH consultant and I did this card at one of her card making get togethers. She taught us the embossing technique. I added a few embellishments to the card. I made a few mistakes but.....it's from the heart!
