Have you ever heard this one?

There are 3 forms of communication - telegraph, telephone and TELL A WOMAN!

If there is a great recipe - I call my friends. If I got bad service from a store - I call my friends and if I discover a good sale - yep, you guessed it - I call my friends.

So, consider this a phone call. I found some great sale buys at the AMM store -

Congrats Staci !!!

Hello Sunshine!

The sun is shining here in my neck of the woods and the new "Hello Sunshine" line from Cosmo Cricket sure makes the day even brighter. The colors and patterns are perfect for summer, but can be very versatile. I am anxious to get my hands on this line.


You have a chance to win the beautiful collection, courtesy of Cosmo Cricket by visiting the AMM boards and leaving a comment HERE! All you have to do is tell us how you might use the collection if you win. Go ahead, get over there! If you've never posted at AMM before, now is the time! You have until Sunday.

And, get out and soak up some sunshine if it's made an appearance in your town. Enjoy today!

It's that time again...

For our bi- weekly Design Team Challenge. This time it is brought to you by me. Your challenge is to make a set of matching cards, a set meaning no less than four. Grab whatever is sitting around on your desk, or something you've been wanting to use, or the remnants of a kit and get creating. These card sets can make some great little gifts. Check out the challenge here ...

All participants are entered to win a RAK from me.



Here is the set of cards that I made using what I had left of the My Little Shoebox manufacturer kit.

Graphic 45 Contest Winner!

A huge congrats to Karla, out Graphic 45 contest winner. Her altered dress form was unbelievable! Congrats Karla and enjoy that huge prize pack!


























In other news, The DT Challenge-Scrap Your Collection, hosted by yours truly has ended and since these are the only two girls to post, Tagnia and Olive will both be getting a RAK from me! Thansk for participating and great job on those layouts!

Look for a new DT Challenge beginning tomorrow. I, on the other hand, will be leaving tomorrrow to go on a school field trip to our nation's capital, Washington DC. We will be going to see all the sights and visiting some great museums like the Smithsonian and the Holocaust Museum, which wasn't there whn I went in 8th grade. I am so looking forward to it and I have my camera all charged and ready to snap. So expect lots of DC layouts from me next month.

That is it for me this week. Again, congrats to Karla, Tagnia, and Olive!

A Standing O!

Can I get a standing O please...

<<< No not this kind!

THIS KIND!

Please join us here at Million Memories - we would like to applaud Lauren Young for our Layout of the Week.

I spy with my little eye

Sometimes when you go through all the pages the AMM store has, you find something really nice!

I found this fun stamp from Rivercity Rubberworks for only $3.15!!

I think it's such a diverse stamp! Great for making cards or something.
You can order it over http://www.amillionmemories.com/product.php?id=8648

3 Weeks Left...

of school that is. Teaching middle schoolers in the spring is torture!! Thankfully, I get a week break next week to go with some 8th graders on a school trip to Washington DC. Expect lots of DC layouts!!

To keep sane I have been working on lots of manufacturer kits, the latest being by Memento.

Here is an example:

feels like summer

I don't know how the weather is at your place, but in Holland it feels like summer! And I mean, really summer! The sun is shining all day long, and it's really hot.
Most of the people are packing their bags with swimsuits, bathtowels, sunlotion and so on. But me........I scrap! Saturday I got my May kit, kids were at grandpa and grandma, so it was 'ME-TIME!'
The whole table was filled with scrapstuff.....( I like that even more than filled with food...lol). I started to scrap with the may kit....which I really love! It's all romance which came over me seeing those papers. Here's one of the layouts I did with the kit; I really enjoyed scrapping hour after hour that day. Not even jealous at all those people lying side by side (like little sardines in a can) on the beach.
But ok, not want to look like a ghost whole summer ( I'm really that white ), I got my little tan today. Being at my moms as a late mothersday visit, we sat in the sun most of the day. Which was nice also.


Speaking of my mom.....she got this present from me today, which almost made her cry. Well, I think that's the most beautiful response I could get from her. And because she's such a beautiful woman, I will show you the present too. On the photo she's about 18 years old. But I must admit she still looks that gorgeous!

So, if you also have this nice weather over there; enjoy it! But don't forget to scrap for a little while....;-)

DT Challenge & Happy Mother's Day
