Don'tcha Just Despise...

....when you get a whole bunch of new toys but are just too tired to try them out?!  I did a little shopping today at Archiver's where there was a 40% off sale on all stamps and when I got home about 8pm there was my order from Paper Trey Ink! I ate a bit of dinner and now it's 8:30 and I am just toooooo tired to play!  Sad...

But the good news is that there is tomorrow...and I'll get going on something tomorrow. 

So I will just put up another layout I did recently of my daughter's annual trip to the beach.

I will tell you that I'm really proud of this 2 page spread because it was done almost entirely with Fancy Pants and Unity stamps. I did all the background stamping with it...the edges under the photos were stamped and then cut out.  I put a little bling on some of the little stamped images...a button here and there and a journaling block on foam tape.  I really loved the way it turned out.  I don't mean to toot my own horn (well, maybe I do...I am the Queen of my Blog, remember)...but it is much cuter in person! I rarely do a ton of stamping on a layout so this was particularly fun!

Another Interest of Mine...

I didn't make it back to my house today to pick up some scrapbooking things and projects to work on.  I went to a Teresa Collins class recently...yes, the great T.C. taught it herself and made a beautiful pink and black mini album that will be so fabulous for photos of NBG (New Baby Girl) that I'd love to get my hands back on so I can finish it up.
But after AG (Adorable Grandson) and I made a trip to Costco and the grocery store...well this was one worn out "Omie"! So, we skipped it for today...there is always tomorrow, right?
Another Interest of Mine is related to the computer.  I like to do touchy feely things...with real paper and glue but sometimes I also enjoy dabbling around on the computer and creating digital layouts.  I did this one a couple of years back of my children's grandmother (whom they ADORE!) and although I don't recall who did the element pieces for it (or even the fonts I used)...well, I thought I'd share it.  I hope I'm half as wonderful a grandmother as this lovely lady is.

I had this printed at Costco in an 8x8 format and then purchased an inexpensive frame at Hobby Lobby...this made a wonderful gift and my kids' grandmother loved it!
So...when you're away from your play toys...you can always find something else to keep you busy!
