On the road




I don't plan on boring you with blogs everyday or with ever detail of the trip but I thought you might find it interesting to here where we have been ever few days.  At present I'm just outside of Little Rock Arkansas.  I couldn't get my Dad to drive town down so that I could see the capital.  Oh well.  
Thus far we have been to Tupelo, Mississippi to see the birth place of Elvis and to Memphis and toured Graceland.  My son is a huge Elvis fan and he has been bouncing off the walls with excitement.  Currently at 9:53 he is still unable to give in to sleep.
The mighty Mississippi River is bulging and many other rivers near by are ready to cover the road if a good little rain adds any more.  I do pray that not much will be damaged if it does continue to rise.
The only scrapbook related information I can give you today is that I am working on a spiral book each night.  I'm adding my tickets and souvenirs if appropriate to my book.  Doing a little of the journaling in hopes that when I get home I can add a few embellishments and some pictures and be done.  I hope that this takes away that overwhelming  feeling of being behind as soon as I get home from this month long trip.   I do hope it turns out and that I will be able to share some grate pictures of it.
Happy Scrapping 
Heather

Heidi Swapp's Carefree, Runway and World Traveler are at the store!







I'm so excited that my favorite girly stuff just came in.  I don't know if I'll have time to scrap with these products before I leave Monday but I'm sure going to try tonight!  
The runway line is black, white and hot pink.  There are few girls who don't care for these colors.  She incorporated her love of hounds tooth in all of these lines.  
Ok now I want to talk about the Carefree line.  This one is my FAVORITE!  I love these colors.  If you had looked in my closet the last two years when this color was super popular in clothes it was half my closet.  Ok ok it's that Aqua blue or what ever you want to call it.  She also has a little yellow in that line.  At CHA I was able to do a digital layout with the Strawberry Lemonade paper.  I don't have it loaded on the computer yet.  I'll try to get that done before I leave.
And her final line is World Traveler.  This one is warm.  It is two tones of brown some cream and burgundy.  The continents and globe paper is one that I hope to be able to use after I get back from my trip.  There is more in the line you can use for so much more than travel but they coordinate wonderfully.  She also has a brown and black hounds tooth in this line, I think I like it more than the black and white hounds tooth.

Well happy scrapp'n!  Please enjoy my guest bloggers.  I hope they enjoy it and will continue to honor us with their awesome scrap pages.

Thanks Girls I'll post a little about my travels as we head west across the US to the Grand Canyon and back.

Using those CHA goodies

Hi Everyone!! Heather asked me to help her out while she's out of town and well if you know me you know I can't wait...lol She's not even gone yet, but here I am posting away!!



I love using the stickles to outline things, as you can see I've used them on the prima sprites to give them some extra dimension. Also, I've outlined some of the stars on the KI Lace paper. Head on over to the store there are a lot of new items in stock that I'll be scooping up soon!

Have a Great Weekend!!

Maya Road Albums



I have just gotten several of Maya Roads new albums in.  I must say I can't decide which I like better the Heart album or the butterfly album.  I'm also very partial to the half circle.

In addition to the albums I also got in the Road Rage Signs chipboard and the Tree's chipboard.  Come by and check out the products.

Cloud 9 Designs Rain Dots are in.





I'm excited that these have arrived.  These accents are great for any page.  With their translucent color you can make them match what you need.  Cloud 9 also has different shapes.  I have in stock tear drops and hearts as well as the usual circles.

Personally I want to use the tear drop clears and the stardust pack to make a great pool page.  I have so many pool pictures and I need to do something new with them.

Remember if you want to check them out just click on the title of the blog to go to the store.

Scrapbooking Recipes

With the holidays coming so fast we need more hours in our day. One way I've found to help is quick and easy meals. Here is one that I love to use when I have a full day.

Lazy Log Cabin Casserole:

1lb stew meat cubed
1 can of Cream of Celery
1 can of Cram of Mushroom
1 packet of Beef Onion Soup (I don't use this. I just add salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried minced onions but I'm an eye ball cook)
Toss all this in the crock pot together give it a stir put it on low and cook it for 6 - 8 hours. Home cooked meal with just a few moments prep. Put a salad bag with it and your hubby can't be upset that there isn't a home cooked meal on the table.
