Hello February

It's not the best but I am learning.

Highlights of January:

• I learned to knit!!! I only wanted to do this for about 2 years now but I did it. I still need to practice but I am glad to finally understand the process.
• A attended my first Bridal Expo as a vendor.
• I made new goals and new products for Tiffzippy.
• I got back to the gym in full force this month, 18 days out of 31.
• I sat outside during my lunch breaks to take in the sun and read.

Plans for February:

• The Superbowl - we are Giants fans!
• Looking forward to lunch with my girlfriends.
• Going to the Scrapbook EXPO at the end of the month.
• Looking forward to seeing a family friend later in the month.

Scrapbook Layouts

I went scrapbooking on Saturday night with my friend Cindy. We go to a local scrapbook store and we crop for 6 hours (6 p.m. to midnight) for a fee. The store is open so if we need supplies we can buy them and they provide snacks and prizes. Here are a few shoots of some pages I did.

This is a 12x12 with a grid already printed on it. I cut my  photos into squares and placed them on the page. Then I cut sold colors of matching cardstock to finish the look. The sign photo I kept as. I really liked how it came out but I would only want to do this time of layout once in while since it takes some time to cut the photos.

Larry's birthday dinner @ Rockin Baja in Newport beach. I took these 3 action shots and wanted a easy way to display them. This film strip idea seemed like best way to do it. I embellished the page with a crab embellishment and a little take out menu I grabbed at the restaurant.

This was my fun page of the night. I decided to print these beach photos in wallet size. I feel lately I need to mix it up. I normally just scarpbook 4x6 photos. This page has a lot of fun details - ribbons, bling, embellishments and even colored clips that look like they are holding the photo frame up.

Gnome Adventures - Scrapbooking Night

Saturday night I went with my friend Cindy to scrapbook at a local scrapbook store from 6 p.m. to midnight. We do this about once a month. It's great because if you need something you can just get up, find it and buy it. We pay a small fee to use the space and they provide snacks and prizes. This time the gnome came along.



I was front and center to check out Tiffany's scrapbooking skills.



I had a great view of everything from here.

I needed a quick nap - scrapbooking can be hard work.

Oh dear, that is a long way up. I wonder if they have a lift.

I was next to Tiffany's supply caddie and I handed her what she needed (that glue can be sticky).
