Hi everyone! Hope you had a blessed Easter celebrating the ressurection of our Savior! I sorely missed the music and the message of hope yesterday as I was home with my bottle of Vicodin to keep me company. My mouth pain levels skyrocketed on Friday night and I'm just hanging in there until Tuesday morning's oral surgery. Not the way I wanted to spend my Easter! So jealous of all the wonderful family dinners and gorgeous family photos you all are posting on Facebook. Chicken soup just didn't cut it. Well, I did eat some Peeps, yes. They're soft and squishy!
I know I am tempting fate by posting "under the influence" BUT I don't seem to be too loopy, and it helps me to stay busy, so here goes. I'm also doing my downline meeting tonight as scheduled, because it will help keep my mind off everything. so it may be a slightly more hysterical meeting than normal. I am loopy enough just on general purposes, without fancy pain meds involved!
But just so you're aware, I may not post for a couple days, depending on how it goes. I'm also working on something TOP SECRET for a contest, so I actually don't have a ton of things that I can show right now, either! I know, I know, I'm a tease.
ANYWAY… today I have something cute to show you. This is a pocket-sized fold-out scrapbook that I created for Splitcoast Stampers' Design Team this month. It is my last month on the team and I wanted to go out with a bang! We were saying "goodbye" to the retiring 2010-12 In Colors and I was trying to use as many of them on one project as I could. I combined Blushing Bride, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz and Concord Crush on this one, but just couldn't bring myself to throw in Poppy Parade.
It's hard to tell in the photos, of course, but this pages fold out about four times, so you can really fit a lot of photos in. These pics are from a four-generation tea party we had at my mom's house two years ago. I'm going to give this album to my mom to take back to my gramma when she returns after joining us for the Disney World incentive trip in just three weeks!!! Can't wait.
Hope your Easter was better than mine! I'm going to go solace myself with an egg for breakfast… from a company called Cadbury…
So sorry about your mouth:( Not fun! Love the little album!!! Will you be posting measurements and supplies? Would make a great Mother’s Day gift for Moms and Grammas:)
I’ll do ya one better, Kathy–I’ll try to get a photo tutorial up for this project : )
OOOOOOOOOOOhw! A photo tutorial is coming. Just what I was going to ask for. Easter is a wonderful day of Hope and renewal. From you comments, my guess is you had that in your heart. Sorry you missed a gathring. Thanks, debra
Oh, thank you Lyssa! I love your tutorials!!! Hope you’re starting to feel a little better!
