i CANT stop Cosmo Cricket ing!

I think I may have a problem but, I just love these lines from Cosmo Cricket. Yes I did try for the design team and the Cosmo blog update said they had narrowed to 17 so they either like me or they don't at this point but, I love them and can't stop creating. This is what I did last night. A cute little Daddy card that will get used in the near future since Jason still hasn't been home to recieve his gift. And an oldy pic of Jaycie CLaire but, I love it and wanted to tell another story around it from the first layout I did way back. I just love the Dutch Girl line for her its just so sweet and Jaycie like.
Hope everyone is finding time to celebrate today! Happy Birthday America! The kids are hoping it stops raining here in time for the fireworks and I am trying to think of some fun 4th indoor project to do with them. Enjoy your day and be safe!

More Cosmo Cricket Goodness

2 more submissions to the Cosmo Cricket Design team that I completed last night. This is the Dutch Girl collection and that stripped paper on the Beach layout is one of my all time favorites just so soft and creamy and love to work with it. Wish I could show more of the dimension on the 2nd layout it is so cool in person and just full of pop dot layers. Enjoy Can't wait to hear what the cool people at Cosmo think!

Mini Book Frenzy

Our album for this summer

2009 365 album couldn;t get the CK kit so made my own

This one is the start of Christmas gifts stash

our trip to Branson last month love the maya road album

las falls album so cool I actually attached a picture frame to the front

Back again today all too document and pay tribute to some of my mini's. I just love these little guys and put them together around themes all the time.

They are so cute to decorate your house during the seasons and very easy for family members and guests to look through as opposed to a big album. I keep mine in a large basket on my dining room buffet and use little picture frame easels all over the house to display my favorites at the time or seasonal ones that add that cute decorative touch.

another great place to stash some is a bathroom basket (you know for those unmentionable times when we all need something to look at and pass the time away LOL) or in guest rooms for your visitors to get an even closer look at your life and the things you do and love. They are also great little show and tell items for the kiddos to take to school.

I just love mini books and albumns and can never have enough they are also just the best little gifts to give both finished and unfinished.

Well not much going on here in the midwest other that brrrrr its chilly out today, no swimming for us. Getting plans together for the 4th.

Have a safe and happy holiday and enjoy the mini's
