You have NO IDEA how excited I am that I get to use my “out for Pub” sign this time!!! I have been trying FOREVER to get one of my layouts published in Scrapbook Trends magazine and my efforts have finally paid off! And I couldn’t be happier about the layout they picked up. I can’t share it now until it comes out in the October issue but it’s one that I did about Shane. Yup….my man is gonna be in a scrapbooking mag! HA HA HA!!! He prefer it be Dirt Wheels Magazine but knows how happy this makes me so he’s excited too. I am sooooo stoked to see it in print! WOOT! WOOT!
I mentioned in my last post that the plan was to get a few more cards done to submit to Paper Crafts. Well….. I only got one more finished. It’s not my favorite but it was fun to make! The heart, house and grass are all my hand-drawn patterns. Everything on this is from Bo Bunny so that’s good! Hopefully out of the four cards I got submitted at least one will get picked up. We shall see! It’s funny…. I was just noticing how much I REALLY LOVE patterned papers. I RARELY use plain cardstock on any of my projects. It just seems so plain to me. It seriously gives me scrapper’s block! HA HA!! Is that weird???
How did everyone’s Father’s Day go? I miss my girls already but I know they are happy to be spending Father’s Day with their Dad and hangin’ out there for a week. It was a good day here because we were able to have Kacie and Karlie for the day. Shane missed them terribly last year while we were still living in AZ so it was awesome to be here. I love Kacie & Karlie to pieces…. they are such sweeties! Shane is such an amazing Daddy to his girls and mine. I’m blessed to have him in my life and look forward to raising Brody and all our girls with him. I get all emotional talking about my husband. He really is my best friend and soul mate. (gag! I know… but it’s true! LOL) Okay….. enuff with the sappy stuff!!! I promised to show a few pics from last week so here they are. I still need to play with the Brody pics. Anyway…. hope ya’ll have a great week!
Oh HEY!!! I need to mention for all you who live anywhere close to me here in Madison, MS….. come scrap with me this Friday night!!!! I was talking to Wendy today, the owner at Scrappin’ Divas in Flowood and I told her I would spread the word about the open crop she’s having from 6pm-Midnight! I don’t know a lot of scrappers here locally so I thought I would just post it here for her! The number to the store to reserve your spot is 601-919-2030. This is the cute little store I will be teaching classes at! IF you can’t come scrap then at least call Wendy up and get your name on her email list so you are notified about my upcoming classes!

THAT IS AWESOME! But somehow I’m not too surprised, sinc you really do rock in the scrapping department. Shane is going to be a magazine boy? On a glossy page?! He has to love that!! He’s famous!

Wow. Shanna, your pics are so fun. And that last picture is my favorite but I guess I am very biased eh? It was so fun spending time with you guys. I wish we could have had more scrapbook time together but I guess that will come when the babies get a bit older maybe.
Congrats on the magazine!

Congratulations and don’t forget to remind me in October because this is the only scrapping mag that I don’t buy on a regular basis.
