So, I’ve added some photos of a wedding card I made a couple weeks back. I used a card I made a long while ago as inspiration, well I basically just copied it with a different color scheme. Let me know what you think.

If you haven’t checked out this lady’s site, then you definitely need to now. Mary is a good friend of mine from my Texas scrapping days. She has posted some wonderful cards and ideas. Be sure to follow her ’cause she is definitely going somewhere.

So I’ve been working on some projects lately that have kept me busy. I just hosted an all day event on Saturday that went over very well. We started at noon and didn’t stop til about 11pm. . . almost 12 hours of scrapbooking, what’s better than that?! During that time I scrapped the rest of my New York City photos comprising of 13 pages. Wow! That’s more than 1 page an hour in addition to chatting, cooking, and playing games with prizes. I must brag - I’m good.
Anyway, here are some shots of selected pages from this event:
Before that, I completed three swaps from my previous meetup groups: a mini album page about me, a border swap for spring, and a color challenge card swap. Unfortunately, I didn’t get photos of the mini album or border swap, but here’s a photograph of the card. The color challenge was to use Pink, Green, and White as the main colors in the card.
What inspired this design was a combination of a 12×12 layout in a magazine and the “Welcome Spring” sheet of vellum I found. The layout featured the torn top and bottom layer and the grid-like spread. The spring paper followed the challenge perfectly, so I went from there. I enjoyed using a scrapbook layout to help with a card. At my all day event, I had a card make-n-take for Mother’s Day. The main point I made was that you can take 5-10 minutes after you complete a scrapbook layout and use the scraps to make a coordinating card. You can even use the layout to mirror on the card.
So I challenge you with this - when you complete your next scrapbook layout, use the scraps to make a card following the same theme and idea. Post comments and a link to your completed challenge.

So my last post was almost a month ago and I have no excuses, but my explanation is Jazzfest. It has taken over my life, especially these last few weeks. With a brief break between these two weekends, I found time to catch up on sleep, sort through some photographs, and actually scrapbook a little. I added some photos on my photography website from the 1st weekend and will add more from the 2nd next week.
As for the scrapbooking, I’ve been working on swaps for my previous meetup group ladies. Next I will create my make-n-take project for the all day scrapbooking event taking place next Saturday in celebration of National Scrapbook Day (one week later), Cinco de Mayo, and Mother’s Day. Feel free to check the group out here - http://meetup.com/scrappin-in-the-streetcar
I will post later with more updates and hopefully some photos of my latest projects. Until then . . . Fest on Baby!

So, it’s still a work in progress, but it’s getting there. I now have a room that I can use to work. I’ll post photos once it’s basically complete, which should be soon.
Now for my next project: I’ve decided to get back to hands on. Again, since my room is not quite complete, I’ll make it fairly simply. In the next two weeks, I will scrapbook. That’s right, just scrapbook. I haven’t actually made a page in over a month it seems and I have several photos from New York that are just waiting to be displayed. My goal is to scrapbook over half the photos I have printed. This is going to be great fun!

So it’s March now and I’ve been setting up the house, entertaining guests, celebrating Mardi Gras, and everything else. Now it’s time to focus on my work. The project for this week, and maybe next week depending on how long it’s going to take me, is to set up my scrapbook room. That’s right, I have a room! Well, I’m sharing it with my photography and my husband’s music studio, but it’s a place to spread out and it’s not on the coffee table.
Anyway, my goal is to have the room set up and ready to use by next weekend. I’m starting a scrapbooking group for local Metairie and New Orleans residents, so I’ll need to be organized. I’m so excited because we have so much room. I can’t wait to start meeting other scrappers here. I miss my ladies from previous groups so much.
Here’s to them and off to go organizing.

Well, it’s moving week, so I’m going to have to take a break until we’re settled and have internet. Come back this next weekend to see if I’m up and running again.
Until then . . .
