First Wedding Scrapbook Page

This is my first scrapbook page for my wedding scrapbook that I made quick while I caught up with my friend Becca on the phone (she's the girl on my right in the photo). Very simple page but I didn't want any extra stuff to overcrowd the photo.

New Work Space

This was my weekend project. I needed something new to store my scrapbooking supplies and my desk was in dire need of replacement. It came from Rhode Island and even then I didn't really like it. It was one of those computer desktop desks and since I have a laptop there was a lot of unused space. Plus Kyle put a few holes in it when he was putting it back together, but that's another story. ha ha. So ikea got a lot of my money but I am VERY happy with the wardrobe, it has a lot of space, looks good and is really sturdy. I think it will last me awhile. The table was another ikea purchase. I just wanted a large workspace and this fit the bill perfectly.

This is the Wardrobe Closed....




and OPEN!!!!!



Wardrobe and table. My next task is getting a decent chair,
that is a stolen kitchen chair and isn't tall enough

New Stamps!!

Today I got my first roller stamp in the mail. I started stamping for my wedding invitations (they were embossed) Now that I am getting into making cards I wanted to get some more stamps. I found Stampin' Up! online and I saw these stamping wheels and I decided to get one to see how it worked.

It's really cool!

Nice Clean lines. And I did that in about 10 seconds :-)

Cricut Cards.

I had my preceptorship class today, went pretty well I think.

A little less than a month until I'm home in RI and eating lobster rolls on the Cape.....can't wait.....

My Cricut Expression came last week and I have been using it to make cards. I wanted to show you guys my first attempts. What do you think?

Cricut Expression

So let me start from the beginning. About 3 months ago I was watching TV really late at night when I couldn't sleep and saw an infomercial on the Cricut Expression. 10 seconds into the ad I was hooked. I HAD TO HAVE THIS MACHINE! I am a pretty avid scrapbooker and really enjoy putting them together. The possibilities of what you can do with this machine is pretty much endless, so I went online and checked the price. $450!!! no way man. So I put it out of my head and pretty much forgot about it. Although whenever I'm in Michaels I sit and stare for a few minutes.

Anyway long story short I was channel surfing last night and happened upon HSN and saw that they were offering a cricut expression and a Your Story Book Binder for about 425.00 including shipping and tax! So sorry to my frugal self. I HAD TO BUY IT.

It also came with 5 cartridges and assorted accessories, too many to list!

It's comming in two weeks! I can't wait until it gets here!!!!!
