Finally Finished!

It has been a long haul and one of the biggest album I have ever made but the 2010 Palo Duro State Park  Vacation Album is finally finished!

Here are the last pages:

These were fun pages to make.  I was able to combine my love of needle and thread with my Cricut.  I am still very new at using my Cricut so it feels like I am making baby steps but I am getting there

We spend about 2 days going to Museum's mainly because they were cheap and air conditioned but we found out that we did have a good time learning about the area.

 

I am not very happy with the last 2 pages but I think it is because I am just ready to be done with the album and ready to play with a different set of papers.

BTW, if you are in the area and want to attend one of my crop nights, I have bagged up the scraps and full sheets that are left from the papers used in this album.  I am willing to give them away.  So come by and check out just how much is left. 

Now I need to get my scrap room cleaned up and get all of the supplies that I have been using put back away.  It might be fun to see my desktops again  

I am not going to start another project tonight.  I think I will watch “Water for Elephants” then get to bed.  I will be back at work for the next 4 nights and if I start a new project it will drive me crazy while I am at work.

Have a fun and safe weekend.

I am so relieved….

I have a set of photos sitting on my desk that I have had scrappers block with.  Even with the wonderful CTMH books I just could not get the creative process stared with these photos.  I am not kidding, these photos have been sitting here, stalling me for over a week.

Since when do you see me not scrap for a week?

So I have the design done, the photos down and I am just working on the stitching.  Yes I have added my touch again.   So as soon as I finish with the needle and thread I will post the photos.

I am so happy to have my block resolved.  I almost skipped using these photos, it was that close!

Not CTMH related but….

We paid off my truck on Sunday and I am still excited.  Now both the camper and the truck are paid for.  YEA!

So Close Yet….

Not done yet, yep I am STILL working on the Palo Duro Album

I took a break for about a week to work on my Christmas cards and those are finished and ready for the mail.  Time to get back to the vacation album because the ladies at work are really wanting to see what we did on vacation.  Evon is in Palo Duro now, and we want to compare photos too. 

Here are the layouts that I finished this week in addition on the Christmas Cards.

Please pray that the washing machine gets fixed this week. If so I will be able catch up on laundry and scrap at the same time, if not then I will be going to the laundry mat….. I hate going to the laundry mat – it cuts into my scrapbooking time darn it!
