Scrappity scrap scrap....

Ok, the long awaited scrapbook pages. I've been trying to finish off my Christmas scrap pages. I may have gone overboard in the number that I've done, but whatever. I won't care anymore after I've finished them and they'll look nice! So, without further ado!

This was done with Basic Grey paper and good old solid color cardstock with some nifty Stampin Up stamps.

I've really gotten into putting a lot of busy embellishment on my pages. I'll probably look back in a year or so and think "What WAS I thinking!?!?!?!" Ha!

Each page has an area for some journalling to happen. I decided I wouldn't write the stories yet. Not until I've finished all the Christmas pages and then I'll go through and make some witty comments.

This page used Basic Grey paper (from the Dasher collection I think), Stampin Up cardstock, and snowflake stampin up stamps. The 'holiday happy' is some Basic Grey chipboard, so is 3D in real life. This is one of my favorite christmas pages! That's enough for now! I now have to go save something from my nibbling puppy...... Sounds like velcro.....must be a shoe of some sort.

Wow! Cake...

Ok, so I was between classes this weekend (end of one class, start of another; nursing class schedules vary greatly from a typical university class schedule), and I did no homework related work whatsoever! Although I perhaps should have been studying and refreshing myself for my final practicum, I did not. Instead, I spent the weekend scrapbooking and on Saturday I made a cake. And let me say, I even impressed myself. Not cause it was fantastically tasting (I made if from a cake mix, but it still tasted good!), but because the decorating job was crazy! I attempted to make my own fondant, and I used it to decorate the cake. It was a success!!!


I decided to go with a valentine's theme, seeing as this is probably the extent of valentines creativity I will get to..due to being in school of course. I was even able to successfully drape a huge sheet of rolled fondant over the entire cake without catastrophe! No ripping, to tearing, and the entire cake covered without a wrinkle. Of course this was only a 9" cake, I guess next will be a larger cake. Gets trickier as the cake gets larger. Now if only someone would come eat this thing, as it's really not part of my diet. Actually, we had a few people over for superbowl, and managed to finish the cake off then.

Now I should go take pictures of the awsome scrapbook pages I made this weekend as well. I was happy with my product!!
