Glimmer love

So loving Tattered Angels Heidi Swapp products and Glimmer mists!  I love how you can mist any color to coordinate with your pictures or project.  I had to create a layout of our recent family photo shoot using Pink Paislee's HOF 3 Parisian Anthology papers!  Love them!

Family photo shoot with Super Kimagery photography

My mom had been longing for a photo shoot with the whole family and we finally got it together to take it.

Kim of Super Kimagery was holding a mini session at Half Moon Bay by the Ritz Carlton.  Hoping that it wouldn't be too cold and windy... it became to be a beautiful day at the beach.  Here are some pictures....

                                     Here's a pix of my parents,me and my two brothers.

My brother and his family.

Me and my mom.

Happy Birthday to my BFF, Lisa!

Yesterday was my BF's birthday.  My birthday is towards the end of the month and we'll both be 39 years old.  39 years old!  OMG!  I can't believe it.  I'm so glad that we get to celebrate it together every year.  Here's to many more years...Happy Birthday, Lisa!

The Beautiful Ritz Carlton Hotel at Half Moon Bay

The whole gang photoshoot

It's that time of year for mini photo sessions and SuperKimagery was offering them again.  We had Kim take our first family photo shoot at University of Stanford last December.  My mom has always wanted all of us to take photos and this was a great opportunity to.  It was my brother with his wife and 3 girls, my younger brother, my parents and me, my hubby and my daughter.  This time it was at beautiful Half Moon Bay.  Worrying that it might be too cold and windy.  We were blessed to have the most perfect weather we could ask for.  It was expected to have a heat wave especially inland which can reach to 100 degrees but by the beach it was mid 70's.  Perfect!  It was such a fun photo shoot.  I loved the images that Kim captured.  Thanks Kim once again.  You're so awesome.  Here's just a few pix I took.  I couldn't pass up the beautiful sunsetting.



                                                    That's Kim doing her magic.

New found thing....

Okay....so I never thought die cuts were cool.  Until.... HOF 3 introduced the Silhouette SD.  I've had this forever but they didn't have the software compatible for MACs.  So....impatiently waiting it finally came!
There are so much you can do with this thing.  You can print on cardstock, heat transfer for shirts, decor, vinyl for your walls, decals for glass,mirrors etc. You can also print on fuzzy paper.  It's endless.  There's so much to learn.  Plus you don't have to keep cartridges that cost $50-60 a piece.  You don't have to worry about how to store them and having images there you will never use.  The silhouette SD is all connected to your computer and they have an online store.  It's pretty cool.  They also have different designers that create images such as...House of 3, Donna Downy, American Crafts and many more.  Once I learn this machine..I'll post projects onto my blog.

More of the Halloween mini album

Here's more of the Halloween mini book I've been working on.  To make the haunted house I used HOF 3's digi house from their welcome home kit.  I then used my craft knife to cut the windows so that they open up and see the SPOOky elements inside.  I think this is my favorite page.  Enjoy!

Look...I'm featured on House of 3's blog.

I'm always amazed with those awesomely talented ladies at HOUSE of 3!!  I can't get enough of their creative energy.  Check out HOF 3 blog where Rhonna features muah.  :)  How cool is that?

Here's a page I used HOF 3 digi frame and canvas paper.  Notice the digi frame is distressed.  I distressed it using one of my digi distressed texture brushes.  Pretty cool!  I'm so loving hybrid digital scrapbooking.  The creative possibilities are endless!

Thanks for looking!

Goodbye summer...hello fall.

I can't help but see all the Halloween Decorations and thought I'd start making a mini album.  I've used some HOF 3 halloween goodies and some new Halloween stuff that I got awhile back.  Here's a few sneaks.....

New MME Lost and Found

OMG!  Have you seen the new MME papers?  They're so gorgeous.  I got these from my local store Art Inspired Studios I can't wait to create something with these.  Although,  they are too gorgeous to cut up.  Here's some photos.....

Come and check them out at Art Inspired Studios before they're all gone!
