Scrap At Sea 2012

I have started planning for the scrapbooking cruise I'm hosting on Feb.4-11, 2012.  Originally, I was going to plan an Eastern Caribbean itinerary, but am now going with a nice Southern Caribbean itinerary since it offers three days at sea and you can also visit some amazing ports - Aruba, Curacao and Princess Cays, Bahamas.
For anyone that's interested in more information, please visit my new website, www.scrapatsea.com.  It's going to be so much fun!

Join me for a Scrapbooking Cruise - February 2012

I am arranging a scrapbooking cruise for February 2012.  I know it seems quite far off, but it requires quite a bit of planning and it will also give everyone who's interested in going lots of time to save.  It will be a 7 day cruise out of Fort Lauderdale with at least 2 days at sea for some crop time.  The cruise line will be Princess.  If you are interested, please e-mail me at ckoch@cruiseshipcenters.com and I will send you more information such as dates, prices, etc. once I have more details.  
Non-scrapbookers will also be welcome, for those of you that would like to bring a spouse, family members or friends.  There will be plenty to do for both scrapbookers and non-scrapbookers and we will be visiting some amazing ports of call as well!  

Cuba Vacation Layouts

Here's some layouts I've made recently of our trip to Cuba last January.

Wedding Album

Wow!  It has been a long time since I've posted on my blog!  This doesn't mean I haven't been doing anything crafty though!  I have completed two wedding albums for friends that got married this month.  Here are some photos from the first one I completed.  I completed this whole album during a 12 hour crop that my neighbour hosted!

'Play' Layout from our Cuba Trip

Here's a layout I made tonight of the kids playing at the Kid's Club at the Sirenas La Salina Resort in Varadero, Cuba.  I think the Kid's Club was one of their very favourite parts of our trip!

For this layout, I used all TLC products.  I wish TLC was still around... I loved their scrapbooking products.

Cars Room Wall Decor

Last weekend, my husband and I took on the project of redecorating my son's room.  Our little guy is 2 1/2 now, so we thought it was time to change his room from the nursery to a big boy's room!  I bought him a Cars bed on Saturday, so Saturday afternoon we decided to start the room and we had it all done by Sunday!  I just wanted to share a picture of the wall art I made for his room.  I used the Cars Cricut cartridge to create these two wall hangings. 

Oh, and he loves his new room! :)
