Worth the Wait

This is my gluebook page for today. I titled it Worth the wait for 2 reasons.
1. I had finished the grid background a few days ago and knew it needed an embellishment...but had to wait...for the right one. I used Tim's rusted grunge technique on the swirl and I think it was perfect for the page.
2. Also, isn't it worth the wait....when your dream comes true, your love comes alive and your laugh happens? I think so.

Have a great weekend.

Scrapfest 2010 Gluebook pages

I was able to use my badge as a holder for "stuff" to keep from my adventure to Scrapbook Fest 2010 in Minnesota. I also used a brown paper bag to store keepsakes from the weekend. It was a great girlfriend getaway to go to Scrapfest.

Clean and simple .....

When I stamp cards, I usually go the route of clean and simple. These are a few cards I made for the Splitcoaststampers' Gallery.

Heureux Anniversaire

We celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary at a restaurant called cite in Chicago. What a fabulous evening it was!

I tried drying the rose in the microwave...got it a little scorched but adding glimmer mist helped out.

Discover

I hope today you discover something new.

Sweet

I decided to make a gluebook page today. My friend, Stevie, made the ribbon flower that I used on this page.
It is HOT here. Just trying to stay cool.

Thinking of Sue.......

I had time to make a glue page this week. It has numbers and the color yellow.
It reminds me of 2 things my friend, Sue, likes: numbers and yellow.
It is almost time for CHA. I can't wait!

Two Turtle Doves

Two turtle doves ..... Are you singing along?

A partridge in a pear tree...page 1

This is page one of my 12 Days of Christmas album. It is made with library pocket cards and hand cut tags. The stamps are from a Penny Black stamp set.

12 Days of Christmas

This is the cover of a mini album I did a few years ago. This is the cover. I plan to scrap some of my favorite Christmas pictures this Fall when I meet my friend, Samara, for our Archivers Day. I will be posting a page a day for the next 12 days. I thought it is never to early to get a Christmas idea.
Stay merry and have a good day.

Girlfriends.....

I am getting ready to see lot of girlfriends at CHA (Craft Hobby Association Trade Show that will be in Rosemont, IL next week.) I made this page thinking about that event.
It is true that "Girlfriends add sunshine to our souls"

I am taking a break from my glue book. (gonna let the glue dry) I will be back posting during CHA if I can get some good photos or after CHA when I have more time to create.
Enjoy!

Moments in time

I used a page from a Good Housekeeping magazine. Good Housekeeping puts an old cover page in their issues.
I have been saving this button (from my friend Anne) and when I saw the picture, I thought the button reminded me of what the button was like on the sweet little girl's coat. The button is velvet with a design. I thought it was a great compliment to the picture.

Another muggy hot day here. Stay as cool as you can.

No 149

I decided that the decorator was getting ready to purchase supplies for the next project.
This is the first page in my new gluebook. I started a new book.

"Handkerchief" Corsage...

I used a paper napkin that a friend sent me. The background was made using papers from a book written in french that I found at the thrift shop.
It reminds me of handkerchief corsages.
It also reminds me of the character from Mel's Diner.....I think she always wore a handkerchief corsage. She was the one who always said, "Eat my grits." LOL

The answer is......

I used a vintage addition flashcard, the rick rack is vintage (a gift from my friend, Lisa) and I am vint-age!! I love making this glue book.
I hope you stay cool today. It is HOT and HUMID today here. ugh.

re do on recipe page...

I added the fork.

Gluebook page: recipe

My goal is to try a new recipe each week. I will write this week's recipe on the card.

Gratitude

This is my glue book page for today. Found some pink scraps of paper and used my corsage from my retirement open house that I wore.
Being grateful today.

Note To Self

I hope you enjoy your day!!

Oh belle journee

I could get lost in the moment of this page. I hope you have a beautiful journey today.

My friend Samara, made me that lovely fabric flower. :)
