So. Calif. Scrapper Meet at AMR

Here's a picture of 5 All Moments Remembered girls that met at the Tall Mouse for some shopping

I had a blast shopping with my MB friends. It was great to finally meet IRL. We shopped at Tall Mouse and they had a sale. If you wore a Hawaiian shirt, flip flops, goggles and a swim tube you could save up to 40%. Everyone was passing around one of the ladies goggles and swim tubes so we could save extra money.. LOL Then we went to a scrapbook store that was closing its doors. Sad! They had 20% off. Bought a few things there. And finally we went to lunch at BJ's, which is where the picture was taken. The food was great and we had a good time gabbing. Our final stop was Big Lots to get some Thickers but they didn't have any alpha bet ones. They did have some 12x12 albums with the pages already in it and some embellies to add for about $10. I can't wait to do it all again...

Jaelop Designs Kit & a LO

Here's a LO I did with Jaelop Designs Kit, Summer Vacation..
This is such a cute kit. Perfect for the beach or pool. This LO is of my DGS on his blow-up Seadoo. We got this for him when we took him shopping for him 7th birthday.

MAELIA DESIGN'S DIGI KIT & A NEW LO

Here's a LO I did today. This is my DGS, we went to Chuck E. Cheese for his 7th bday. The kids had a blast. DGS is hilarious. He got up and was dancing in front of the green screen, the one that shows you on the tv. LOL He break dances, so funny to see a tall, skinny 7 yr. old kid dance the break dance. He's been doing that since he was 2 years old. He really entertained us....
The kit I used is designed by MAELIA DESIGN'S EmportelParleVent and you can buy her kits at DIGITAL-CREA
Also, if you go to her blog she has a few freebie kits. You can buy this kit, HERE

The challenge is to use Lilac (lt. purple), Chocolate (drk. brown) & Ivory (cream). I made this card for my DH for Father's Day. Inside is a journal spot that says, 10 Things I Love About You that I got at a journal spot swap at ALL MOMENTS REMEMBERED! (in the exchange/swap forum)

LO w/J3 Designs June Kit

Child's Play by J3 Design's

This kit is too cute! I pieced together the bridge from the kit and added all of her elements. The only thing I don't like about the LO is the bike in the front has a flat edge on the wheel from the photo and I should have erased the small black area of the front tire thats behind the orange rim. Other than that, I'm extremely happy with my LO. The kit is called CHILD'S PLAY which you can purchase if you click the purple title... I paid a one time fee for the year to get J3 Designs kit for each month. Right now I believe the current membership fee is normally $25.00 but if you sign up for the kit club, you can use the 25% discount and get the discounted price of $18.75. Thats 12 kits for the year for $18.75!

Mini Album

Here's a album I just finished. Had the cards set aside for a few months but other stuff got in the way. The cards I used were from the Vegas players club. I have lots of them.. (Heeee Hee) All I did was make sure each side was sanded so they weren't slick. Punched the holes, decorated each card making sure the holes went all the way through. And I didn't notice until I posted the pictures that theirs ink on a couple pictures so I'll have to replace those... Yes, I'm blind and don't notice my mistakes until I've posted and the pictures are larger..
