This cracks me up!

Kayla's Invites

I've been working hard this holiday weekend on Graduation Invitations. Our oldest niece is graduating soon, and I was honored & touched that her & her Mom asked if I could make the invites for them:)

I ended up with three designs, mostly out of necessity. The first one had way too many gems and the red bow in the diploma was not making it look right in my opinion. So I removed it! lol I use the purple rhinestones until I ran out, then I switched to black, (easily found in my stash!) I was trying to keep the costs low. All in all, I feel good about making 53 invites for $32.00.

If the invites look funny....its because I'm trying to figure out the scanner without the husband home...lol. I'm sooo proud of the fact I figured out how to "white out" all the personal info so I could post them here! lol

I used Core’dinations Pearl Black Cardstock, And Core’dinations Purple cardstock.

  In real life its so shimmery!

Sunday, Sunday

I wanna know.......where did the weekend go? Boohoo! Its off to work bright and early tommorrow!! I did get back into cleaning my scrap room again. I'm trying to organize by colour. Its a lot more work than I thought, but I hope it allows me to use my stash better!
Just spent some money over at Art Freckles tonight! I'm super excited about the new kit coming up and added to my copic collection as well! Good Stuff!

Today Hubby & I went to the DIA to see the Fakes, Forgeries & Mystery Exhibit...... I was not impressed. First no one told us we needed to purchase additional tickets to get in! We paid our $8 each to get in, and then found the exhibit, and were told we needed tickets! Another $16.00 later and we were in. It was not as interesting as I thought it would be. All I can say is that they hired a very good marketing firm. It got us there! I did see some Picasso's and some of Andy Warhol's art while we were there. So I can strike that off my bucket list. Picasso's self portrait was interesting....to me, he looked like Ricky:)

Technique Tuesday

I've been googling a lot lately. I thought I'd start a new thing called "Technique Tuesday" to share some of the cool things I've found out there in the world wide web:) I'm hoping to inspire myself to actually scrapbook, and possible inspire you too:) On a Plus side, it will at least get me to blog more, and thats a goal I have set for myself this year:)

Here is what I found. Its called Black Magic Stamping.... with a twist. I think its pretty cool:

Family Day & Helena's Birthday!

Can you believe its Family day? Time Flew so fast this weekend! Its the first weekend in eons that M & I are home together for 3 days straight! Its been sooo nice! So today we went and celebrated Family Day by going to the movies. We were suppose to go to the DIA, to see the Fakes, Forgeries & Mysteries exhibit, but who knew the museum would be closed on a Monday? Not Us! I'm glad hubby checked before we went:) So we went and saw "Unknown" . It was very good. Keeps you guessing, that's for sure!



So on the way home Hubby and I had a serious discussion about starting our own family. All I can say is that its good stuff, and I'm sooo glad we talked:)

And I wanted to take a moment to wish my BFF a very happy birthday!!! You go Girl! Love ya!!

Till next time!

Over & Out!
