My celebration is... New Years!  I went to Times Square to see the ball drop with friends, back in 97-98.  I was 22 yrs old and ready to take on the world, lol. I figured this would be a great time to finally scrapbook these old photos.  It was one of the coldest and wildest things I every done.  Just digging these photos out, brought back a lot of excitement and memory for me.
 The little round white dot in the pics is the ball.  I was shocked on how small it actually is, lol.
 It was fun making these pages.  I went old school, lol.  I used stencils, computer borders, and stickers.  I also did some "doodling" which I've never done on a layout before. And of course, I had to pull out the Cricut, lol.  I wanted it to seem busy and fun, not so perfect, just like that night.
Being a momma with three toddlers, it's hard to find a baby sitter now a days, so the closest I can get to the ball is on my tv, lol.  Hope you have fun with the blog hop!  

My Blog Hop Challenge for you, is to create a layout using some of your New Year's pics.  Use the colors BLACK, WHITE, GOLD, SILVER, you can use all of them or any combination.  If you didn't party it up on New Years, use any recent party or get together!  Can't wait to see what you come up with!  Don't forget to post it in SANDY's HIR Blog Hop Challenge Entries

Now for the next blog, you want to head over to Pam's blog: DREAMER'S KLUB

If you leave a comment on my blog, you can get a chance to win some blog candy (sticking with the color scheme).  You don't have to be a follower but it would be nice :)   Please leave a way for me to contact you too.  I will use random.org to pick a winner on Tuesday the 18th.

    Sandy, that's wonderful to get "old" pics scrapped! I've never experienced the New Year in Times Square, that would be fun to do!

    How fun it must have been to relive your exciting New Year's Eve. I can't say I have even taken any pictures of New Years since the kids. And my old pics are in slide in albums :)
    I linked you up to my blog as I am with all the Divas as I find their personal blogs. Happy SCrapppin' Blessings, Lisa

My Favorite Craft Tools and Giveaway!!!

By
Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you. Two years ago, I took a step back from crafty and downsized 75% of my craft room.  However with just these awesome tools, I have been able to get back into the swing of things and I don't miss having a larger craft room. Personally, I feel every crafter should have these starting out.  They make creating easy and fun! Tools mentioned: Misti, Neehna Bright Cardstock, Distress Oxides, Ranger Dylusions die cut, In Love Art Shop word die cuts, ATG, Prismacolor Pencils, premade cards,Fiskars cutting blade and trimmer, Zig color pens, Wink Of Stella, Alcohol markers, t-ruler, Westcott 0 ruler, 6x6 paper pads, Versamark, EK Success powder tool, 3d Crystal Lacquer, Tombow adhesive, Momento/Hero Arts black ink, Cricut, Chameleon Black Pen, Pencil, Grid stamping block, etc. For the mont

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8
