Sherrie's album is all done!!

I just wanted to post that the album is posted in my SCS Gallery found HERE. I won't bore you all with a long post but if you have any questions, just email me at clhajnal@aol.com and I will be happy to answer them.

Please let me know what you think of it. I do have to tell you something that our other sister Pam pointed out. My sister does not have the boo-boo's you see in the pics. She totally SWEARS by the Victoria Secrets Water Bra!!!

I just got back from seeing the album off with Kaily at the airport. It took her all of 5 seconds to admire my countless hours of back breaking work that I did on that album. This is one reason I don't do a lot of albums for gifts, unless they are requested. No one really understands how much work is put into these things. I know that my sister Sherrie will, only because she knows how much work I put into them.

I hope you all are having a wonderful New Year....my wonderful vacation is almost over. But I got a lot of things marked off of my "To Do" list.

Big Hugs,

Carrie

All Finished!!!

I am all done!!!! Tomorrow night I will put all of the pics on a slide viewer or something...maybe a link to my SCS so that you all can see the full pics. For now, only pieces of the final pages.

Some stamping and embossing, although it's hard to see in this pic. Also, to the left you will notice a Cuttlebug Embossing folder. I call it a tool box pattern, but Ami has said Billet...and I would trust her knowledge over mine.

Some green, bling, and patterned paper...

Dont't forget the journaling. I also used my Cricut, I'll explain more tomorrow on this one.

More cutting on the Cricut. I also got into my long loved but never touched stash of Thickers. My favorite summer embellishment of last seasons Mini Occasions "Just Beachy" stamped in Craft Whisper White. I love Craft Whisper White, it gives a nice white, thick painted look.

Okay all that is it for now. I just wanted to post a little more for everyone to see.

Love,

Carrie

Movin' and Groovin"...

I think this is my most favorite page!! It might be because I was able to get the whole stinkin' family on the page...well minus just a few.

So far I have managed to use my Cricut on every page. You can't see it here but I used Sweet Treats and George Basic Shapes. Okay...off to do more "crappin'" ...I know, I know.....harsh...but that is what Sherrie calls it. Oh...but silly little sissy....it's not so crappy. I'll have you know that I don't even have an album this awesome!!!! Maybe I should keep this for myself...hmmmm.

Love,

Carrie

A pic from way back...

I wanted to post another piece to the album. This picture was from an all girl trip in 2003 to Las Vegas. I used a lot of the Indie Cartridge on this layout. I can't show it all right now. I will post picks of every page once I know that Sherrie has seen the album, hopefully after Saturday night.

Here is today's sneeky peeky. I am not moving at my usual album pace....usually I can have one done in 3 days. At this rate, I am doing one page a day. But, in my own defense I have my hubby and 8yr old home with me at the same time. Okay Okay....here it is....

I am on the right and Sherrie is on the left in the black. We were both blonde at the time...not so much anymore.

Big Hugs,

Carrie

Let's call this Tasty Tuesday!!!

I just wanted to update you all on the album....since I know my sister and neice are watching now I thought I would give just a peek. I just uploaded 173 pictures to Walgreens....they are having a great price until Jan 2. The total price was about $10.. I did it in two bundles...since SOMEONE knows nothing about scrapbooking OR a computer I had to upload the last 68 pictures from MySpace by myself....not easy!!! Okay, so here is just a little tease....

I started this page before my sister got up off of her booty and sent me pics. NOT ONE FREAKIN CHRISTMAS PICTURE!!!! I couldn't find one ANYWHERE!!! I started with Christmas, because I thought that would be one EVERYONE would have. Now butt head has a Christmas layout with no pictures!!!

Dear Kaily and Ricky...

Your meemers loveS you very much and this is why I am making the album for you. Because your mama does know her head from her butt and I wanted you to have proof that we are a loving, memorable freaking family!!! DARN IT!!! WT Heck....no freaking Christmas pictures....REALLY?!!!!

Love and frustration,

Carrie
