Did I Mention I Am A House Person Too?

I love my home! I think that is why I love camping so much;  

I get to take a piece of home with me when we travel. 

My husband and I are both house people. Yes, I said both. We love beautiful homes,

 and work very hard to make ours nice. 

I decided not to focus my blog on home decor because 

there are so many great blogs on this topic.

I consider myself a mimic instead of an innovator, but every now and then,

 I would like to bring a little of my home into this blog. 

 For Spring we did a little sprucing up!

Before

I love this vignette. It is a focal point in our family room. 

It just seemed dark for spring so my 

husband decided a fresh coat of paint would freshen it up.

After

I love it!

Fun Flock!

On our last visit to
  www.scrappininthecity.com
(my favorite store)
we found the coolest thing....

(again, sorry for the bad photography)

  

Fun Flock

Here's how it works...

First, pick a Sticker

Cover it with a liquid glue, something like Tacky Glue. 
Sprinkle with the Fun Flock. Pour on enough to cover all of the glue.
Then pat lightly to press into the glue.

Shake off excess

I suggest doing this over a sheet of paper. It is very messy.
You can put the rest back in the bottle and it will last a long time.

Isn't this the coolest thing!

I love the texture it brings to the page.

I also used it on my Disney Blizzard Beach page.

Fun Flock comes in many colors.
The khaki color makes a great sand for beach pages!!
I love this stuff!

Croptopia!

Oh how I wish I could go to this...

Their next crop is in New England.  How fun would that be!!

The ABC's Of You and Me Album

I made this album for my husband for our 

25th wedding anniversary.

I surprised him with it when we went away to celebrate.

My friend Elizabeth made one for her husband and

 I loved it so much that I had to make one for us!

 I used the Storybook Cricut cartridge for the titles.

 I also tried to use the same card stock  

patterned paper through out the album so it would flow. 

Here are some pages from my album.

(still working on my photography skills)

This is an 8 1/2 x 11 album, but you can make it any size you would like.

Elizabeth's album was an 8x8 and it was really cute.

My husband loved it and when we returned home,

 I added a few more pages with photos from that trip. 

It is still one of our favorite albums.
