Scrapbook For the Record

Hey all. If you haven't seen the Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog, you are missing out!! On page 9, there is a super easy, super cute Simply Scrappin' kit. It is only $9.95 and contains a ton of embellishments! The name is "For the Record" and it is prepared for you to quickly create a 2 page layout, 12"x12". You could easily trim it and do your own thing, but why? Lol!

 

I thought it was PERFECT for a layout for my kids' 1st grade teacher, who also happened to be my husband's 1st grade teacher! As you can see, her name is Mrs. Glasbrenner. My kids loved her so much and still do, although she has since retired and I've heard that she is enjoying that even more than teaching. I pretty much followed the layout included with the kit and completed it in less than 15 minutes. Awesome!

 

What do you think?

As you can see, I totally believe in using my own handwriting on my pages. It might be a little sloppy, but it gets the story in and it is from my heart. Contact me asap if you need a copy of the Spring Catalog or visit my website.

Welcome!

Hello to all my friends & family!
I'm going to try my hand at blogging here. If you know me, you know my favorite things. OK, I'll remind you. I love my family... My dear hubby, Don, and I have been married for almost 14 years, enduring the ups and downs, still going strong. My favorite boy in the whole world, Tyler, just turned 11 and is starting 6th grade. My favorite girl in the whole world, Haley, is 7 and starting 2nd grade. Extended family is also very important to me. My parents are divorced and remarried. My mom is Dawn, married to Ron, they live about 2.5 hours from me. My dad is Bob, married to Patti, they live in Upper Michigan. I'm the oldest, then there is Rob, engaged to Sarah, who's children are Isabella (8) and Mari (6), they live in Wauzeka about 5 blocks from me. My sister is Tricia, married to Brad, parents to Brianna (9), Keegan (7) & Xander (1), they live in Sextonville about 45 minutes from me. Next sister Deanna (21 on Sept 7) is in college at NMU in Marquette MI. Little brother Ryan is a senior at Lake Linden High in LL, MI. Baby sister Rachel is entering 8th grade at Lake Linden. I also have a step-sister Kimi, and her hubby Bill, who live in Arizona with some furry puppy kids. My husband's family is very close, too. His parents, Don & Joan, live across the street from us. His sister Tonia, married to Levi, parents to Jory (1), live in Boscobel. His brother LaVern, married to Sara, parents to LaVern aka Little Bernie (5) and Jacob (2), live in Steuben. Whew! I'll be posting photos, so you can return to this to see who's who.

I currently work for DA Diggers, which is Don & his dad's business. I manage the office and all sorts of fun stuff. I also substitute teach once in a while. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree from Upper Iowa University in 2005. What did I learn most? Advice to all young people: go to college BEFORE you have kids and a job, it will be much easier! Since graduating, I've become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I love to create home-made cards and scrapbook pages. As you can tell, I love glitter. My all-time fave is dazzling diamonds. Oohh, it is so pretty!

I think that's about it for now. I'll be posting more later. Not sure if it will be daily or not, but check back soon!

Keep craftin',
Audra
