Yea!!! It's Friday!!!

Happy Friday! Actually it's Thursday night, shhh don't tell. :)I'm so excited about my layout that I'm just going to jump straight to it.

What do you think?? I took this pic at night and tried a new way of saving it!! I am LOVIN it!!! The colors are right and I love how there is no border around it. It's like it's floating in air! I must say that the more I learn about my camera and photography in general, the more I LOVE IT!!!

This is also my layout for My Minds Eye. I love them almost as much as I love my camera! :)

Well, I'm off to enjoy my fam. They are ALL home today! YEA!!

Unity stamps used: Amazing Me and Capture Life

If you haven't yet tried Unity's monthly Scrapbook Kit, You DEFINITELY should!!! You'll LOVE IT!!

Love is Beginning To Flair Up...

O.k. So my guys don't call me the "Queen Of Corny" for no reason. LOL! Could my title today be any more corny???????

Oh well. That's me. I love to smile, even at the silly, goofy, corny stuff! :)

Have you started on your Valentines???

I have!!! I've seen a lot of people embossing metal and I LOVE the look, but I don't have any metal. What's a girl to do?

Well THIS girl glued aluminum foil onto cardstock!!! Voila! Instant metal!

Thanks for looking!

I'm off to enjoy my day!

A New Year A New Friends With Flair

I'm LATE!! The boys had a 2 hour delay this morning and I can't catch up!!

These are my first layouts of the year and I got to use my Christmas present to make them.

MY CRICKET!!!! Walmart had them for almost half price after Thanksgiving and my sweet hubby snatched one up just for me!

I'd love to chat more, but I've got a hungry toddler waiting one me! Have a great day!!!!

The LAST Friends With Flair of 2009!!!!

Wow! Time flies!!! I can't believe we are fixing to ring in a NEW YEAR!!!

Our house is a bustle with activity! The boys will be home soon for 2 WEEKS, Christmas is right around the corner, and we might get SNOW!!! I do not remember a time it snowed before Christmas! The boys are STOKED!!!

My first layout today is my version of Eryn's layout that you can see here. I just LOVED it so I lifted it and made my Prom layout.

Really?? Who gets to go to the prom with their life long sweetie!!!!!

This layout makes me laugh. You must click on it to read the conversation. These guys are AMAZING!!!

Can you tell that I LOVE these little woodland creatures!!

Last for today is my entry for the monthly challenge at MME.


I just LOVE LOVE LOVE that Unity is doing scrapbook kits now!!!! They are AMAZING!! If you haven't gotten one yet... you should!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

It's Flair Time Friday!!!

This is my second most favorite day of the week, Thursday is my favorite of course!! :) I love that Unity is a company that lets it's customers shine! It really does make you feel wanted!

I'm starting today with a tag I made using the scrapbooking kit Capture Life and Kitchen Logic.

I'll be wrapping this tag around some home made goodies at Christmas this year.

Second, is a layout. You know I LOVE My Mind's Eye so I couldn't wait to get in on a little contest they are having. And the winner gets their choice of 3 MME COLLECTIONS!!!!!!!! The sketch and all the rules can be found here.

This boy is such a funny sight when he's playing Raving Rabbits!!! I love it!! I used Capture Life, the store KOTM, Le Chic, and the Aug store KOTM in this one.
This gloomy, cloudy, rainy weather has been making it VERY difficult to get good pictures to upload, but it looks like I'd better get used to it. Looks like we will be socked in for quite a while.
Have a great weekend!!!

FWFF Are You Still On a Ippity High????

Oh My Gosh!!!! If you haven't joined in with all the loyal UNITY FANS then NOW is DEFINITELY the time!!!!! They have just started the most FANTASTIC thing ever called IPPITY!!!! Yippee for Ippity!!! Now you can buy Unity's great quality rubber stamps and resale them and MAKE MONEY!!!!!!! How PERFECT! You must check it out!!!

As you know I'm a scrapper. I love preserving those little memories that I'm certain to forget. With that being said I have to plug Unity's Scrapbook Kit. It is the best yet!!!! I absolutely LOVE it!!!

Can you believe Christmas is only 7 weeks away!!!! YIKES!!!! So I've started on gifts and cards. We have roughly 50 people on our Christmas list, NOT including immediate family so every year is filled with lots of home made goodness. Here's a candy dish for a diabetic relative.

And I just went over the existing label with my own for the body wash.

And my first Christmas card of the season! Only A LOT more to go!! LOL!!

Last, but certainly not least. My man got himself a buck last night! I can't begin to tell you how much this meant to him. Way to go Babe!!!!!

Hope ya'll have a great weekend! We will be doing a roller skate bday party and the boys are soooooooooo excited. Wish us luck!!! LOL!
