Forty three...

 

It's been 5 days since I last blogged... a record I think.  And I wasn't even out of town.  Just out of time, really.  But in the meantime I celebrated my birthday... #43.  It was a fun & memorable weekend.  I share my birthdate with my friend's daughter.  And she is a friend of Bryn's.  So we celebrated with her too, since quite frankly... turning 8 is WAY cooler than turning 43!  I had a total blast with my friends on Saturday night though and I'm still laughing just thinking about it.  It was a fun dinner & we had the best time dancing afterward. What a crazy night. 

My friends are the best.  So is my family.  Love them all...

 

Bob got me an iPhone 4 for my birthday.  It's even more addicting than my iPad.  Gotta love the Instagram app!

February Page Maps + Nikki Sivils = FUN!

Today is the last day of all my Winter 2011 CHA projects using the brand new releases from Nikki Sivils!  I know I have already  mentioned this, but these 6 new lines are my favorite of all her CHA releases since the start of her business.  I'm looking forward to hearing about the success of this trade show and I'm also happy to report that Scrapbook.com is going to be carrying all 6 of her new lines soon!  Finally!!!   

So anyway... last, but not least, it's Max & Mollie... the cute little skunks!  I love the pink & green color combo and the cool retro images in this line... 

 

I also love the little sun cut-outs and doubled them up to add some dimension...

 

Have you noticed there's a lot of flag banners in Nikki's new releases?  Love that! 

And to wrap things up... I, along with some of the other Nikki Sivils' designers, had the honor of designing for Page Maps this month!  Becky Fleck sent me a 2-page sketch & I used the new "Beatrice" line to create my page...

 

  

Check out Page Maps for ALL the sketch designs for the month of February.  It was fun to be part of it!   

And speaking of fun... all this snow & ice is NOT.  Another day of no school...
