My first BLOG!!

YAY! My first blog! Lets see how long I can keep this up! LOL! You KNOW how I am!

I've been super busy creating my LO's for this years Christmas album. 12 done so far since this weekend!! That's a record for me! I have to go back and add titles or journaling to a couple. Inspiration didn't strike during the creation so I was hoping a little break might help me think up something witty and creative! Question for you...........What do you do when you are stuck with journaling, titles, design, whatever to get those creative juices flowing??

I broke out some of my new toys last night also. I FINALLY opened the Cricut I bought back in NOVEMBER!!! I am glad I waited though...........I got the design studio software and LOVE it! I'm not sure I would have loved it quite as much without it. I can't believe all the ways you can manipulate your fonts and images! I stuck with some very simple titles as a starter but I can't wait until I have some time to sit down and really PLAY! I also remembered the Xyron I have had unopened in the basement for about a YEAR now! That was a lifesaver after adhearing one title with my tape runner I wanted to throw things! Second title.........zipped it through the xyron and right on the page! WOO HOO! I'm glad I remembered it! ; )

Olivia started her first little scrapbook last night. We had fun scrapping side by side. I think my stash may be in danger now though! She was fascinated with my Stickles and I can tell she can't wait to get her hot little hands on them! Actually for a 5yo she did a great job. Her LO was very well thought out, good color choices and very balanced. Now if I can just keep her from discovering the CKMB!!
