I had the opportunity this month to be the Guest Designer at Express the Moment. I got to play with the May 2010 “Moments Scrapbooking Kit”. Lucky for me (and you) this month’s kit is filled with So Sophie goodness!
I was able to create the following card and two layouts with product to spare. Click here to see everything that comes in this kit.
Guess what!?
Express the Moments would like to give the May 2010 Moments Scrapbooking Kit to ONE of my readers!
Isn’t that cool?
Entering to win is EASY! Leave a comment on this post by midnight, Monday, May 31, 2010 and tell me your favorite color combination.

p.s. You still have until Wednesday night to enter the Fancy Pants Like Father, Like Son giveaway!
Fancy Pants has generously donated a collection of Like Father, Like Son papers (only the papers) for me to give to YOU!
I had a lot of fun playing with this wonderful product line last week when I was on Good Things Utah. If you missed that project, click here to see it and watch the video – located in the left column.
Leave a comment anywhere on my blog by next Wednesday, May 26, 2010. I’ll announce the winner on Thursday! Good Luck!
(p.s. I have ONE more giveaway – check back in the next few days to learn more)
by U2…
In honor of the upcoming U2 concert, 18 days – but who is counting, the next few songs of the week will be my families’ favorite U2 songs.
“I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight” is Riley’s favorite U2 song. That little boy sure can jam!
In September, we used a line from the song as the My Mind’s Eye blog challenge:
“Every generation gets a chance to change the world”.
I have shared this layout with you before, but I created this layout about my Grandfather and his service in WWII. I also used another line from the song in my journaling:
“It’s not a hill, it’s a mountain as you start out the climb”.
My Grandfather was injured twice in battle during WWII. He won’t talk about his experiences in the war. I framed this layout and gave it to him for Christmas – he was touched and has opened up a little since then.
ENJOY!
p.s. check back tomorrow for a couple of giveaways!
“Celebrate April”
When I asked the boys what their favorite things we did in April were, their first answer was: “Your birthday”. How sweet! Then I asked what else they liked and they said “We didn’t do anything else in April”. I thought that was funny. We then brainstormed and one thing led to another and they proclaimed: “We guess we DID do a lot in April”. This conversation demonstrates why I am so glad we are doing this album. I think sometimes we are so busy “doing” that we aren’t “living” and “enjoying” life. I don’t want to forget that my dad had snowballs ready and started a snowball fight the minute we got out of the car on Easter. In April, we learned that “Batman lives here”. The boys worked together on Pinewood Derby cars and Neal had to work off a library fine $ 0.25 per chore. It was a great month!
I combined So Sophie “Savvy”, Breaking Free and Penny Lane from My Mind’s Eye to create my April layout. Check out the MME blog to see other fabulous April Top Ten pages!
I was thrilled when I found out I would get to play with The new “Like Father Like Son” line from Fancy Pants. It’s by Michelle Coleman. The colors are fabulous: blues, oranges, creams, greens and grays. This will soon become one of your favorite “boy” collections. Even though the name of this line is “Like Father, Like Son”, it is fun for for more than just Father/Son layouts and projects.
Like Father, Like Son begins shipping this week! We kind of unveiled it today on Good Things Utah. Look for it in your local store.
My boys are going to have so much fun with Bryan as he “redeems” his coupons! I’m going to have them write a not to Bryan on the front page.
I was thinking that it would be fun to leave the photos off and take photos as they do the activity. It would also be a fun thing to do for Grandpa or your own Dad from you and your siblings. My Dad gave Neal coupons for Christmas a couple of years ago and they have loved their time together. I think one of the most important gifts you can give someone is the gift of your time.
I’ll upload the video later today when it is up on the Good Things Utah website. If you’d like to make your own project, Download these instructions and the Best Dad coupon pdf.
I hope you enjoy the project!
p.s. If there are any giveaways left, I'll give one away here. I'll let you know when I get back home this afternoon.
For some reason Mother’s Day has snuck up on me and QUICKLY! Since it is in two days, I needed something quick AND beautiful.
I designed this project for my Mom and Mother-in-law and the My Mind’s Eye blog. It was really fun to make!
To make this project, visit this post on My Mind’s Eye blog for step-by-step instructions.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Now, I just need to make one more and I’m done.
I will be sharing a new Mother’s Day idea tomorrow on the My Mind’s Eye blog. I thought I’d remind you of the project I did on Good Things Utah last year for All Scrapbook Steals. It features Urban Prairie from Basic Grey.

Maybe this is the song of the week because it’s been raining and snowing here for the past two weeks and the sun in finally shining.
Maybe it’s because I can’t wait to see the flowers in my yard that are valiantly fighting to see the sun.
Maybe it’s because I love the songs of the 60’s and 70’s.
Maybe it’s because I used to dance to this song and wish that I could be the flower girl.
Maybe it’s because it was the inspiration for this layout:
Featured Products: Lush Red and Brown from My Mind’s Eye
Whatever the reason, I hope it brings sunshine to your week!
