New Travel Blog & Travel-Themed Scrapbooking Goodies Giveaway!!

Since I am starting a new business as a Cruise Consultant for Expedia CruiseShipCenters, I thought I would also start a new "Cruise and Travel Blog". I will be updating this new blog with information about current specials and promotions, contests, new ships and various cruise and travel information and stories.

I really need some new followers for this blog, so if you have an interest in travel (hey, who doesn't like to travel?!) then please sign-up to follow this blog! Plus, to celebrate my new blog and my new business, I will be giving away an awesome collection of travel-themed scrapbooking goodies!! To enter, all you have to do is become a follower of my new Cruise and Travel Blog and also enter the contest to win 1 of 25 free cruises from Carnival Cruise (click here to enter), then post a comment on my new blog. It's that easy! I will take some pictures later of the goodies that I will be giving away and will post on this blog!

Thank you and good luck!!

1st Class Picture - Celebrate Education Challenge #46

Here is a layout I completed about a month ago for my daughter's 1st school picture (nursery school). I used mainly CTMH products for this layout. This is also my entry for The Cuttlebug Spot's Challenge #46: Celebrate Education. The challenge is to create anything that has a school or education theme.

The Scrapping Cottage Contest

I would just like to share that The Scrapbooking Cottage is having a contest and giving away a $250 shopping spree at their online store! If you haven't checked out their adorable CottageCutz dies, you must take a look! Each die is so detailed and I just love them all. So far, my favourite is the CottageCutz Ice Cream Treats Shapes, especially the rocket popsicle!

Viva Las Vegas!

The modern rooms at the Flamingo... I had to take a picture of the bathroom because I loved the fact there was a tv in the mirror!

Forum shops at Ceasar's

The Star Trek experience (hubby is a fan)


Here are some digital layouts I did from our last vacation before we became a family of four! I was actually pregnant with my son at the time and we were in Vegas during a major heatwave. I still remember having a bit of morning sickness still when we first arrived! Anyway, despite the heat it was a great getaway!

A Few Favourite Digital Layouts

Since I haven't been down in my scrap room much since the flood (I don't have the new floor in yet), I don't have any new projects to share, so I thought I'd post more digital layouts. Here are a few of my favourites. The photos are of Paige when she was just one year old (she is now three). Time goes by way too fast!

Halloween Digital Layouts

Trick or Treat!!

Since the fall is fast approaching, and Halloween will be here before you know it, I thought I would share some Halloween digital layouts that I completed last year. These pictures were from my daughter Paige's second Halloween. I prefer traditional scrapbooking, but I do like to make digital layouts sometimes too since it is so much faster, and I don't always have the time for traditional scrapbooking.
