Here's a close up so you can see the detail of the background stamps I used ("Sprinkles" - set of 4 by Stampin' Up!). See the texture that the flowers, chipboard and ribbon create? I'm such a tactile person, that's probably why I prefer traditional scrapbooking versus digital scrapbooking. But I am excited to dabble in the digital stuff, though. I just like to research before I buy. If anyone has any recommendations as far as digital scrapbooking programs, I would love to hear it! Please leave a comment of any recommendations! Oh, while I'm at it, I'm also looking for a good video editing software. I use my Windows Movie Maker, but I'm ready for something different!

HERE'S THE BONUS PROJECT FOR SEPTEMBER VIDEO!


ANSWER TO TRIVIA QUESTION:

Fall Again by Glenn Lewis was featured on the Maid in Manhattan soundtrack (a Jennifer Lopez movie).

A "buh" with a "ooooh" chunk!

It's amazing what Isabel (my daughter) comes home saying! She is learning so much in Kindergarten, I just can't believe how fast. Today I went to Curriculum Night where her teacher talks about what the goals are and what the class is learning and even how they are learning how to read and write.....pretty cool.

So, I realized what she meant the other day when she READ HER FIRST WORD (at least in front of me)! We were watching her favorite YouTube video (I subscribe to lots of crafting videos....he he...and there are a couple she LOVES to watch). In one of the videos, a woman makes a cool Halloween card that says "boo" (below is the video, if you happen to want to see it...it's pretty darn cool). Anyway, we're watching the video and she goes....."Mommy, I know what that says. It says "boo". And my eyes get super big and I go....."how do you know that, honey?" She says, "cuz it has a buh with a ooooh chunk".

As it so happens, her teacher, Mrs. Finan, explains today at Curriculum Night how they are learning how to read "chunks" like the "an" chunk in the word ran and can and so on.......so if they learn the chunks, they can learn lots of other words with different letters before (and after) the chunk. Does that make sense? Anyway, thought that was a cool story...now I know why I've been going around the house these past 3 days saying "a buh with a ooooh chunk"! SO CUTE!

OH! SO FAR, ISABEL HAS $31 IN DONATIONS FOR THE FUN RUN (he he......it's from her mommy and papa).......IF YOU WANNA DONATE,you can find more info and a link at our FAMILY WEBSITE.

Here's the video!

Scrapbooking on Canvas!

I finally gave it a try and it worked out! I love the texture, colors and dimensions that scrapbooking brings to your photos. Today, I bought an 8" x 10" canvas from Michaels and turned it into a beautiful "page" that I could display and enjoy in my craft room! Now I can look up and smile as I think of my little Gabriel! I tried to get it on camera but I ran out of space on the disc! Oh well, I'll just have to make another one for my daughter, Isabel's photo. I will post this to my You Tube channel soon :)

I painted the canvas with acrylic paint and craft ink. I stamped a spotted background using one of my favorite Stampin' Up! background stamps and a Classic Stampin' Pad in Basic Black! I used mostly Making Memories chipboard and adhesive ribbon, some magenta and blue ribbon I had lying around, and decorative stickers by American Crafts (I've been trying to find a reason to break into my new stash of stickers!). It didn't take very long because I used an embossing heating tool to speed up the drying time for the acrylic paint and decoupage I used!

Oh, here's a tip: If you've got that feeling like....something's missing from your layout...something's keeping you from saying..."okay, I'm done with this".....try adding some black and white embellishments! Black and white is so versatile....it goes with sooooooo many things and it might just be what you were looking for!

Well, this project was lots of fun and quite therapeutic! I borrowed my parent's camera, so as soon as I figure it out, I'll make another one so I can record it!!!
