...cali....cali...



aaaaaahhhh yeahhhh!

special albums to share

since i haven't had much time to scrap a page since we are in the process of moving...just thought i'd share this...our wedding album.  we got married twice, 1st around march 2009 (civil) and then in oct 2009 (bigger ceremony, w/c was hella fun!).

here's a few of our civil wedding album...finally completed this past February:

(supplies:  autumn leaves, me & big ideas, k&co, making memories, prima)

it snowed that morning of our civil wedding...it was so pretty too, a good start to a great day.  i love you babez.

the second wedding album is still a work in progress...but here's the cover and last pages of the album (nope, i am not a chronological scrapper...obviously):

i love to use lots of tone-on-tone techniques, punches, circles.  for these pages i used lots of scraps from our wedding decor.  can't waste them right?

tfl!  and have a great friday!

i will miss this...

in Washington:

beautiful sunrises

spring cherry blossoms:

one of my favez on the drive on I-5 N around Nisqually (a bit eerie in this pic, but still cool):

walks in Olympia:

spring sunshines:

sunsets at Pacific Beach:

and so many other things about it too.

guess i was wrong

well i have one more day with my Dell and it will get packed up today...so thought i would post one more with this machine...that's not to say i won't using "someone else's."  right babez?  heehee...

really don't have any scrappy pages to post, but here's some of our packed stuff...i about teared up seeing my scrap stuff packed in boxes....boohoo!  i'll get over it...i'm over it.

i got some goodies last night tho....my A Million Memories June kit...a bit late...but what matters is, it's here:

and some free goodies i got from AMM as well, for a RAK i did for Michelle Quinn....thx Michelle!

this is a package of Echo Park papers and stickers, their "Sweet Summertime" collection. yumm-o!

guess i was wrong with saying yesterday that i wouldn't post for awhile...well, i can admit when i've made a mistake...yeah and i did.  lol!

happy tuesday!

hello summer and some last minute thangz

weeeeeehhhh it's the 1st day of summer!  yey-yah!  and it's almost time to go on our road trip.  i am not sure but this may be my last post for awhile...well maybe...maybe without photos.  we'll see how things go this week.

gonna try to make this post quick and dirty (well not really).  heehee...

first off, my reveal and take on the Inspired Blueprints sketch #50:

and for lucky luckiez:

(supplies:  American Crafts, Hambly, Webster's, Fiskars, EK Success, Martha Stewart, A Million Memories kit)

i have already done my 1st reveal for Scrap Tiffany which will be out on July 5th.  i'll give you a sneaky peeky at a later date.  i'm trying to get ahead of the game since we are gonna be on the move the next 2 1/2 weeks or less.

here's the full reveal for my hub'z father's day card i made for him:

and the rest of the deetz:

you can find a couple of more the little details by clicking here.  i just love Pink Paislee pp's!

we celebrated father's day a day early at Red Robin:

yes...i know i'm crazy...lol!

here are a few thangz we did this past weekend...some of which we will do again in the future, i.e., when we return back someday...

...a going away party getaway for my hubz (thrown by his now former colleagues):

unfortunately, i don't have any photos from the party.  i had to take off for a bit to drop off maiya with her dad for the weekend.  but i did return to the party about 30 minutes laters.  darn!

...our last lunch stop at one of our fave places to eat, New Sushi Teriyaki, get a load of my fam (w/o maiya since she was with her dad):

 ...our last sibling brunch for awhile...at Shari's...

 

i'm gonna miss these thangz and timez. (most of all i'm gonna miss my family and friends!) i'll just make sure when we do come visit, we do these for sure.

hmmm, i'm not very good at quick posts, am i?!?!?  aaaaaah well!!!

we'll be on our road trip this coming saturday.  the movers are coming today hopefully to start packing our stuff, then hotel it, then we have to take care of a few things before saturday.  i'm taking some scrappiness with me too! i'm gonna try to get some kind of scrappy arts in while staying at the hotels.  hmmm?  we'll see.

well gonna end this post now...hopefully i'll be able to blog a bit the next couple of weeks even if it's short and w/o photos.  until then...happy times!
