Woke up this morning to SNOW!

The kind that sticks for awhile. What is up with that? My daffodills are blooming! grrrrr. I am so ready for winter to be over.
This was the last night off of my stretch, back to work tonight for 6 on. That is ok, my mom is in the hospital, so I can see her more. She had a parathroidectomy last WEDENSDAY and now her calicum levels are way to low, they can't seem to get them up. So what happens when they are up? you send her home, and they fall again? They don't have an answer for that. She is very frustrated.
So I did some cleaning out of my garage, I have 4 boxes of scrappy stuff I am going to donate to the developmental center here for the mds girls. They want to start scrapbooking, I think this will be a great start for them! I have about 2 feet of pattern paper, along with all kinds of stickers, an alpha punch set, everything they need except adhesive. I am sure the facility can supply some glue sticks. :d
Well, here ar a couple of layouts I did using the kit. I need to get the pictures up on the site, and start selling! It really is a fun kit. Here are a couple of pictures of the kit itself too.:D

What am I doing up at 4am?

ugg! I just cannot sleep! Life of a night shift nurse, you comeoff working a stretch, and it is so hard to turn your body around.
So I have a lot to do tday, but I will probably end up napping all day.
I got my first kit all packaged and divided up, ready to ship!! It is soooo cute! It is featuring Pink paislee's office lingo line, the kit is called "Peytonn". I have to admit, I kept dding things to it that I liked, and figured I better stop or it would be cost proohibbited, lol. Right now it will retail for 36.50. It has 8 sheets of cardstock pattern paper, 3 sheets of card stock, 1 sheet of journaling spots, 1 transparency sheet, 1 chipboard alpha, 1 chipboard elements pack, 1 set of deco brads, 1 set of press on rubons, 1 set of flowers. I just love the colors, I need to go make something with it, so I can give some examples! I don't have it up on the site yet- I am still figuring out the whole shopping cart thing, but maybe I can get it up today. If so, you can see it at http://www.scrappinfun.com for a looksie.
Now advertising--guess I better put on the thinking cap- any ideas?

My mom had surgery yesterday, and is in the hospital, so I will need to make a trip up there today too. She did well, had to have her parathyroids removed because they were messing up her calicum. she came through it well though. My dad is so cute and worried, he sure loves her. I am blessed to have parents that stayed together for 50 years- although there were times I wondered growing up, lol.

And I need to go grocery shopping--if we want to eat anything the rest of the week. I think I need to pour over some cook books first, and make a list, so I am not just buying what ever- then not know what to do wiht it! dh and ds are having a hard time with not having snacks in the house. I just won't buy them anymore-- I do, and what ever it is is gone in one sitting. Like a whole package of cookies, or the multi packs of chips-- gone. I have even tried to divi it up into single serve baggies, and they just take all the baggies, and eat them, so it is a waste of ziplocks. So I just quit. If they want a snack, they will have to make it from scratch, lol. Kind of a deterrent when you have to make it-- but better for both of them, they are getting a little round in the middle. :d
ds starts scoccer today, so I hope that will take care of the belly problem. I need to get my butt in gear with the exercise too.
Oh, and i need to make 5 sympathy cards today so I can give them to my friends. I am sure today will fly by.
Well, off to work on this web page, ttfn.

I am feeling so very sad today.

There has been so many tragic things happen here lately, I just count my blessings, then think "oh my, that could be be or one of my family so easily". In the last month-
1. a friend I work with, her dh commited suicide 2 weeks ago.
2. A good friend- her dh was killed last wed. because a dump truck ran a stop sign, and plowed into him.
3. Another friend at work, her son was killed last monday night in a rollover accident.
4. A nurse I work with, her father's car missed a curve, and he plunged into the colorado river and drowned last thrus night.
5. A friend I work with-her brother commited suicide yesterday morning.

sigh. So tragic, and 2 were preventable. What is really sad is the attempted suicides in this valley have really increased over the last couple of months. really co-insiding with today's economy. It's rather scarey! And we really don't have a great mental health system here, the facility we do have turns people away, has been in danger of being shut down by the state, blah blah blah.
Then everything on the news. I tell you, the world is a scarey place! And let me tell you I am not impressed with our new CEO, 44 days or so in office, and the only thing I hear him say is he is not going to raise our taxes (unless you make a ton of money) but yet, I see taxes going up on everything! Not my personal income tax, but taxes on everything I buy, my property tax is going UP, EVEN THOUGH the value of my house is going DOWN. So uh, yeah mr. President, I would say you have raised my taxes, and I would rather pay more personal income tax, than pay it out on the things I buy, or my car registration, or my home. You are getting by far the bigger end of the deal with my money that you claim you are going to help keep it in my pocket! AND I have seen him do nothing but spend spend spend! I think if we take away the earmarks, revamp programs, and hold people more accountable on what was done with our money, we would have more, and wouldn't need to raise any tax.
(ok, how did I get off on this tangent?)
Well, I am at work now, and I tell you I just feel grateful to have a job right now. So I guess I better get back to work, and earn my money. :D

Guess what I got today?

my very first shipment of supplies for my new online kit club! OK, so I will be starting out small, but it is going to be so fun. I hope to have everything ready to go by the end of the month. The fist kit is going to be a collection of pink paislee products, cute cute stuff! I went with the office lingo collection pretty much, with some enchanting products thrown in-- and a little surprize! The kits will retail from 28.00 to 36.00 depending on what is in them. My plan is to offer 4-6 kits for sale at any one time, but in order to have that much product on hand, it taks alot of capitol. (ummmm, money, lol) So I will probably start off with 2 and go from there. I have been putting this kit together today, and it is all I can do not to stop and go scrap with one. On another note, I had to make room for this stuff coming in. so I have a paper rak that has been sitting in my garage. I thought, I could put the kits together, and store them on the rack. BUT dh told me I had to clean out my scrap boxes first. So I set out on that daunting task. omg. So this is what happened. When we moved here 3 years ago, I told dh as the boxes were unloaded, they were marked, put them in the room they go in. Do you think he could do that? nooooooooo. So all my scrap boxes were stacked in the garage. "just until you get your room together" uh hu. So over the last 3 years, I have my room together----and filled with all new stuff, lol. (I am such a horader!!!) So I start unpacking, and I don't know where to put it all. I have so much paper, I could literally scrap the rest of my life, and not use it all. really. I can't even think about how much money is invested, but over 10 grand, I can tell you that. Probably that in paper alone. (blushing icon here now) All my storage places for paper are filled. In fact, I even put together a box I thought I would give away on free cycle, and it is about 2 1/2 feet of stacked pattern paper. No cardstock, just paper. It is paper I thought i would probably never use. Then I got to tinking-- why do I buy so much? I seem to have to have the latest and greatest, but by the time I get to it, it is old news. I actually found 2 kits that I had not even opened from when I belonged to scrapbook obsessions, and club scrap. ei yi yi. so here is a little video of me and my scrappy mess. No it is not all cleaned up yet, so there will be no after video for awhile, as I start a 6 night stretch tomorrow, and I don't feel like cleaning it any more today, lol all the paper is put away, now I just have "stuff". and oh my, yes, I have alot of stuff too. Maybe I should put up a "garage sale" section on my website to sell off some of that too? I don't know, I think most of us want the latest and greatest, not someones old stuff, lol. well, don't laugh at me, here it is. (as soon as I can figure out how to put it here from u-tube, lol)

Thursday, March 05, 2009

Well, lots has happened since I have updated

I just can't rmemeber it all, lol. Here are some layouts I have done in the last month. I didn't realise I did so many. :D It sure is fun to go in and create just for you, not thinking about if they need to be good enough for a design team or not. getting back into the love of the craft!









So, I REACHED my weight loss goal!! 107 pounds down, and now I have to maintain that. :^|. So far so good, I am down 1 pound below my goal. I reached it feb. 19th, 2 days before my birthday! It was a great birthday present to myself! My parents bought me a food saver for my BD, I love the thing! I buy alot of fresh veggies and make food for the whole week, so this is really helping me not only portion out my food, but keep it fresher longer. It is a wonderful device. :D

Well, gotta run for now, it is 10 am and I am still in my jammies. :D

Finally Scrapped!

I got a day where I just kind of did my own thing, lol
I straighened out my scraproom, added 2 new small storage cubes, and reorganized. Then it inspired me to sit down and scrap a little, lol. So here are the pages I did-- and I made the card for Bradley to send to my sister in law as a thankyou for the 35.00 gift card to best buy she sent to him. I have to work tonight, for the next 3, so won't get much time to do anything else for awhile.

Here is the card


Layout using stuff from one of my kit clubs.


Just a fun one.


Just love this one of ds, so innocent looking, lol.


This one was just fun! I think my fav out of the 4, and it took the least amount of time, lol. go figure.


And as I look at these, I really need to think out of the box more. All my embellies are clustered down to the bottom left of the layout. They are all looking the same to me, lol. OK, back to the drawing board, next ones (whenever I get to scrap again) are going to be different! :D

Did a little face lift here

I have so neglected my blog! So time for a little lift, lol. I just finished installing adobe cs 4 on my computer-- way to much stuff for me to know. I just wanted photoshop--the latest version of coarse, and I think it is even to powerful for me. I need a class! I have so much I want to do, yet I don't seem to ever do any of it-- do you get that way?
I bought a new snow suit off ebay--well 3 actually, lol. I wanted the purple one, but didn't think I would get it, so I bid on a blue and pink one, and ended up winning all 3, lol. So I am set for the snow! Now if I ever get off my butt to use them, I will be in good shape! I hate going hiking in the snow, and being cold, so I got them just for that reason. I would really like to try snowshoeing now. skiing is out of the question, my knees just couldn't take it. Although I am pretty good hitting the slopes on my new wii fit, lol.
I am still struggling with the last 2.5 pounds I have to lose to reach my self imposed goal. I just can't seem to do it. I know if Iget off my but and exercise, it will come off, but I am being lazy--or maybe it is a self sabotauge kind of thing, I don't know. I will get there eventually.
Finally downloaded my chistmas photos to the computer, now If I can just get them uploaded to sams club, so I will have prints. I am to lazy to print them myself, lol. I would rather just have them! Here is a family picture of us on christmas eve. Isn't my boy getting big? wow 10-- and in the last month he has gone from a size 10 boys to a 14! no totally missed the 12's. I think if he took off 4 pounds though, they might fit. I got him on the new wii fit, and he seems to really like that, we also have been taking him sledding twice a week, so there is some good exercise. I quit buying junk food some time ago, but dh still brings it in. Yesterday he bought Brad skittles-- a huge bag, and I wouldn't let him give them to him. grrrr! Just what he needs, sugar! I am trying to give him healthy junk food, like kashi ceral (oh, it is so good) as a dry snack, and fresh fruit for other type snacks. He would much rather have icecream and candy, but I am trying to teach him that those are very rare occasions--not working with the dh though, lol.
Well, it is 5am, and I am up for some reason. thought I would update, and have my coffee, now I think I will work on my scrap room, so that when I do decide to scrap, I can get in there, and know where some of my stuff is, lol. Christmas just destroyed my room--don't know how- I didn't scrap, but I made a quilt, did some jewelry, and just threw stuff in there to get it out of the way. NOw I have to pay the piper for it. I will try and update a little more often, but I figure no one wants to hear about my boring life, lol. tootles!

It was such a lovely party!

Well, we had my parents Golden Anniversary party, and it just went off perfect! Everything was just right, my sister did a terrific job on decorations, and we told stories, and I hope just really honored my mom and dad. There were about 70 people there, and it was held at the country club.
I wish I had my sd card here so I could show you my ds, he looked like such the little man, so cute! He wore blue cords, a dress striped blue shirt, with a sweater vest pullover. I didn't want to do a suit and tie, cause the only tie he would ever wear it again would be christmas, then he would outgrow it before we could wear it again. He looked so cute though.
Yes, he was the only child there, but he was so well behaved. I had to laugh though, cause towards the end he says "mommy, can we go now? my tummy hurts" I said "bradley, that is because you ate the whole chocolate bar aunt Cathy gave you. Wait until they cut the cake" "Mommmmmmm, I don't want to wait, My tummy hurts" So I say, well you have to just a while longer. So he goes off, and comes back a few minutes later. "mom, my tummy feels better, can I have some cake?" "Oh by the way, you do NOT want to go into that bathroom" roflol. I will spare you the details, but he goes on to describe it! uh--bradley dear, that is enough, just make sure you cleaned good, lol.
Anyway, just a short note, I am at work, but wanted to post this pic, so I snuck on here, lol. This is me, my dad, mom, and sister.

Tis the Season

to be jolly---yea, you just keep telling yourself that huh?
i love Christmas time- the part about having your house all decorated, all your gift shopping is done, things are made, and you just relax with the lights lit, drinking your tom and jerry's, enjoying the season. What I don't like is when:
1. I have to do all of the decorating myself. um, yep, no one would help me, the scrooges. I did 2 trees, all the indoor deco, AND the 30 foot snowman in the yard, the proch lights, most of the house lights that were low. I told dh I wanted them on the peaks- he has not done that yet. He got mad at me yesterday cause I was up on the ladder putting up lights, and promised he would do it today after work. I told him if he didn't, I would be on the ladder friday, getting the job done!
2. Rude shoppers. I try to be extra nice when I am out. I even force a smile sometimes, lol. i am courteous to other drivers, let people in, and try to take that extra step in this time of year. But NOOOOOO not some people, they have a way of runing your whole day. Like the lady that almost plowed over me at hobby lobby rather than wait until I crossed the street to the front door. She saw me, like that 5 sec. it would have taken me to walk would have kept her from her destination any sooner.
Or the lady who decided she didn't want to wait for me to finish my u-turn. I was all the way in the middle of the lane, all I had to do was step on the gas. I was in the lane. She comes barreling up, and tries to pass me on the right shoulder. She ended up going off, into a dirt field, lolol, missed the ditch by 3 feet darn it, that would have been really funny. Then she has the nerve to honk at me--I wanted to flip her off, but I smiled and waved. :D
3. We have my parents 50th wedding anni this week. We are holding a formal dinner for about 60 people. Like I really have time to plan this with all th other things going on. But they are worth i, and I love them, so I will make time. I took their pictures night before last, and I am getting them printed today. I will attach a couple here.
4. I always forget what I bought someone, and end up buying for them again. Needless to say they get spoiled. I have vowed to write stuff down this year, but so far it hasn't happened, and I noticed I bought my sister way to much already.
5. I have to fit my full time job in here somewhere--I hate it when work gets in the way of life!

OK, those are my bitches and moans--lol. What are some of yours?

Here are a couple of pics of my lovely parents. My dad thought he was being funny with the denture pic, lol

I have had nooooo scrappy time

man, I really wanted to scrap this week too. Nope. Moved my neice out of her apt. for 2 days-- the 2 days I had reserved for scrappy time. oh well, she is worth it.
I have been getting a little bit of time here and there to work on my christmas balls- it is easier to work on them because the creative mess with them is less, lol. I usually do it while watching tv downstairs with the family. I just play with my poly clay, making the designs into a log roll, and then I have a little lap table, so i can cut the roll into disks, and stick them onto the balls. Then I bake them all at once, easy peasy. I found a really cute stolie bottle in my neices apt. It was some high end alcoholic drink that she should not have had, but the bottle was way cool. It had a wodden cork, and a cool shape. So I stole it from her, lol. I have covered it with pink and brown clay-- those are her colors. I did a brown roll, and surrounded it by pink, then cut it up, and covered the bottle. I ran out of clay though, and I have about 2 inches all the way around to finish. So I will get some mor, but do a pink roll surrounded in brown clay for the bottom. Then I will give it to her for christmas, lol. It looks way cooler altered!
Yeah, I know, still no pictures. one of these days!
So I have a "I love your blog" award around here somewhere from my good friend Mer, but I haven't done my part of it yet, so I haven't posted it. I will! (promise Mer) I am such a procrastinator, and last minute doofus!
Well, I need to go find me a diet coke so I can stay up the rest of the night. (I am at work) I need a little caffeine jolt going here. ttyl

Just a quck note

because I don't want to nelgect my blog. :D
Lots happening this week, not all good. But we will get thru. I have been busy this week finishing up my swap christmas bulbs- yes I will get pictures when I get all the ribbon on themj, lol. I hve been cooking-- not just for thanksgiving, but for my plan all week. oh and
I HAVE REACHED MY 100 POUNDS LOST!!!! Can you believe i? in less than a year-- in fact, since March 9th, 2008 I have lost 100 pounds. I am so excited. Especially since I think I can keep it off if I just remember my new eating habits, lol. I have learned to cook without using fat and salt, and have it actually taste pretty good using the hundreds of other spices out there. (hey, butter and salt makes EVERYTHING taste good, lol.
Anyway, lots of our turkey day meal are using subs for the high fat stuff, and you can't really even tell, except it won't leave you feeling so bogged down afterwards. For instance I used nonfat milk and cream of celery soup in my green bean casserole instead of the whole milk, and cream of muchroom.
I used splenda in my cranberry salad instead of sugar. Used light whip cream. I wanted to make my own using dream whip, but the store didn't have any.
My mom has been using chicken broth instead of oil to cook other struff, so I am kind of excited for dinner to see how everything turned out. :D
Well, I hope you all have a fantastic day today! I will be at work tongiht, but I have alot to be thankful for, so i don't mind.

Pretty Monday!

wow, it is a beautiful day here today. crisp and clear, blue sky, and in the 50's. Winter is coming, but I think today is a day to be enjoyed!

So, I am in this swap every year with 11 other girlfriends. We have kind of like a christmas cookie swap, but we also make 12 handmade ornaments, and trade, so we get 11 others that the other girls have made. I have been doing this for about 5 years, and my tree is just full of handmade ornaments every year. I so look forward to adding to it each year. My goal is not to have any store bought ornaments on the tree- some day! I love to load the tree, lol. Anyway, this year I am really pleased with the way my ornaments are turning out!
I will post a picture of them when I done with them, but I discovered how to make canes with sculpy clay. They are so fun to make! I did one cane with a snow flake in the center, and another with a snowman head. So then I sliced them up into small "disks" for lack of a better word, and covered a glass ball with the designs. Then I baked them. So that part is all done. all I need to do now is go buy some matching ribbon (um- I probably have plenty in my ribbon stash, but don't want to search, lolol) and add a bow to the top, along with a sprig of something from hobby lobby. Oh, yeah, and I am going to go buy a can of polyurethine from home depot to coat them with so they will be shiny. I can't wait to finish them, and thought about doing it today-- but it is so dang pretty out! I really need to get out and do some exercise. such is life, we will let you know later what I decided, lol.
I do have to scrap today, I have an assignment using luxe products. Got a ton of it, and it is cool!
Well, better go, the phone is ringing.

Pictures Post!

Well finally got my layouts from the crop scanned, the ones I just did for my DT at scrapbook playground, and the 2 fo Around the block. Thought I would just post in one big ole picture fest, lol. Oh and I threw in one from Halloween night too-- one of me, and one of ds. :D
Now I need to go down and work on some home made christmas ornaments. I have a group every year we do a cookie exchange, as well as a handmade ornament exchange, so I have 12 I need to make before the first week of December. I am going to use poly clay- I will have to post if and when I ever get them done, lol. tata for now! :D
Halloween Pics!

Again, at a computer with no picture ability!!!!

Seems like every time I post, lol.
Oh well. Just sitting here, just watched the presidental bash from sat. night live, loved it! So funny. Now I am sitting here watching walker texas ranger-- boring! I need a life!
Nothing ultra creative today, I did finish up a layout, and made a necklace. I have ideas, but just can't seem to get started! oh, I did paint a picture frame, and put a layout of dh's mother in it. I am going to give it to him for his birthday next week. I am looking around the house, and it is so sad, every picture of family is of either us or my family. There is none of his.
His parents are both gone, but sheesh, how insensitive of me, I don't even have a picture of them up!! And I thought it was rude when one year we went to see his dad and step mother. There were pictures of the grand kids hanging everywhere. All of them. All of them, except for my baby. He was only 1 year old at the time. I asked Jean (his step mom) if she recieved the pictures I send of bradley (obviously because they were not displayed, lol) and she said "oh yes, they are here" and they were put in a magnetic album. I was sooooo hurt. My precious, was not framed or displayed like any of the other grand kids. (so grand parents, make sure you have all the kids up, lol)
Anyway, dh does not have hardley any pictures of his family. We recieved a few when his mother died a few years ago. I am going to enlarge some of them, and frame them for hanging around the house. No wonder dh feels like this is my house, and not his, lolol. He is so sensitive== but hey, he never said anything!!!
Anyway, I have spent today emailing old friends that I have not talked to in ages. Getting nostalgic I guess. I miss my 20's-- I feel old. dh is going to be 50 this year, makes ME FEEL OLD! Poor guy, but I am not far behind, lol. That is just such a in your face age I guess. Hopefully it will pass without any thing just like 40 did. Now 30-- I had a real problem with that one! I guess it is better than the alternative! :D
Well, off to watch the rest of walker, then to bed. Maybe I can get some layouts I have been doing posted here soon, since no one else will ever see them, lol. tootles!

Tuesday, October 28, 2008

I just haven't had any time!

So I am at work right now, been wanting to update, and find I can't do a good job of that without my computer, lol. Has all my pictures and stuff on it.
So the ebay guy finally sent the package after I went to paypal to get my money back. But I had told him I didn't want the thing now, it was to late, he was a liar, cause he said he had mailed it when he didn't and I didn't want to do business with him. I told him ot to send it or I would send it back. He sent it anyway, and paypal closed the case. that really irritates me. I tried to reopen it, but the sit wont let me. It says you can appeal, but there is no place I can find to appeal. probably should just drop it, lol.
Well, I went to Utah for the Creativexpress crop-- It was such a good time! I got to see old friends, and new ones I hadn't met in real life yet. We had such a blast! I will post some pictures when I get a moment.
I recieved a box of goodies from Around The Block for my DT stuff-- ohh scrappy treats! very fun stuff. Got paper treats, a gun tagger, with tags that are pre-fab to use. Some 7gypsies paper, frames, and chipboards, I got ends to the paper gator- but I don't have one, so maybe that will be later. :P Now If I can just carve out a few minutes to scrap, all will be well.
Are you ready for Halloween yet? We decorated this year, but I have not bought any candy yet. Afraid dh and ds will eat it all before then, so I guess I will go out on the 31st and get some, lol. I don't want to get into it either. hmmmmmm maybe pencils and erasers would be a better treat for this year. I just may do that much to my boys dismay, lol. I don't want to be tempted anyway-- there is enough here at work to avoid!
ok, well, I better get busy, just wanted to update a tad so it doesn't look like I am neglecting my bloggie. :D

Saturday, October 11, 2008

I am a tad bit irritated at an ebay guy.

So I have painter X, and it is such a cool program! BUT you really need a wacom tablet to get it's full capacity, so I went onto ebay and bought one. I paid on sept. 23rd. I have not seen hide nor hair of it! it has been 3 weeks. I have emailed him, first on the 30th of sept. and he said, sorry, i am mailing it tomorrow. Then on the 7th, where he said he didn't have a tracking number, but he had mailed it. Now this guy has over 1000 feedback, and has sold a ton of these tablets, so where is mine? I paid for priority shipping too! Now Priority shipping to means I will get my product within 3-7 days, tops, not 3-7 days after he decides to sick it in the mail. I was so anxious to try it out, now I won't be able to until after the Utah crop-- assuming it gets here before then.
I am going to zip him another email that says if I don't get it by tuesday (3 weeks?) that I am going to request my money back from paypal--unless he can provide me a tracking number. And I will be leaving negative feedback at that time. I hate leaving negative feedback- but you know- if your going to run a business- then you need to run it- am I being to harh or impatient?

On another note, I can't wait to to go Utah this next weekend!! I have so much to do until then, but no time to do it, lol. I am working until wed. and then leave bright and early on thrusday morning. ugg- lots of packing and planning to do.

Thursday, October 02, 2008

I am very excited!!

I tried out for the Design team "Around the block". They are a manufacturer company of tools and treats for scrapbookers. (mostly). This is their website here. http://www.aroundtheblockproducts.com.
Anyway, I made the team! yay! I love thier brads, and paper treats, they have so much. i am looking forward to using their tools- especially the paper gator, which is a corner rounder that will do a ton of pages at once. I only have one other design team commitment, which is pretty low key, so I thought this would be fun. This company is owned by a parent company that also owns 7 gypsies (love their stuff) and the newly reformed Chatterbox (oh, love all their new goodies too) So I will get to be working with their products as well. I am very happy! :D

Well, I have been a scrapping fool!

I have really been enjoying myself the last few days. I need to get my butt out of the scrap room, and work on picking up the house, lol. Here are a few of my creations. I like them all when I did them, but now I am rethinking the bird one, lol. Why do we do that?
Oh, whoo hoo, I made the next round at badgirls. BUT this week the class is on negative space, and balence. I suck at negative space, but did it, and actually like the layout. that one is first, it is the "us" layout. hmmmm, I must like that picture, I scrapped it twice, lol. Actually the print maching went crazy at sams and I got triples for the price of singles. Just what I needed.
