Miss Mint has a bunch, and I do mean a bunch of new goodies coming up in the shop (if they are not already up). Here are two cards I made with Miss Mint’s April Showers Papers and Elements:


There are so so many more goodies that I haven’t even gotten a chance to work with yet, but I wanted to share these two cards.
*************
I so love Jen Martakis’ April kit, especially the scratchy looking papers in yellow and gray. I used Laina’s Borderlines 5 to cut the bracket edge on Jen’s papers in my silhouette. Hybrids are so easy in 8.5×11, I printed my journaling right on my background paper. The alphas are thickers, the corduroy brad is from stampin’ up! and those little legos are stuck on with mini glue dots ;)
and in other exciting news, today my layout was featured over at the clubcreatingkeepsakes.com blog in the gallery :)
I picked up a few cute digital cutter files from Laina Lamb again this week, so I’ll be working with those…
************
more exciting news: I’ve been invited to join the designhousedigital.com Hybrid Creative team. I’ll be making a few hybrid projects a month and posting them over there and here. I’m super excited to be working with those lovely creative peeps over there! I’ll let you know when my first project(s) are up!
and a few last bits on the personal front. I have been wanting to get my hair cut for quite a while now. It’s been long and quite a hassle. I swear it would take me atleast 20 minutes to wash, condition and rinse all that hair. Not to mention all the hair I have to vacuum up around here. I was also inspired by Megan to just get it done and donate it to Locks of Love. You’ve probably heard of the organization, they accept donations of hair to make hair pieces for children who have lost their hair whether through alopecia or cancer or whatever situation. I took the boys to the Navy Exchange to get their hair cut today and I thought I’d stop by and make an appointment to get my hair cut tomorrow while they are at school. When I walked into the salon, they had an appointment, so i let the boys watch Veggie Tales Jonah on the touch while I got my hair cut. Who knew I could take them with me?! Atleast now I know I’ll be able to get my hair cut during the summer (no school usually means no appointments for me). So the girl that cut my hair was super super sweet and she measured the hair to make sure it was long enough… and it was. She cut off 12″ and then proceeded to give me a new look.
Thanks for stopping by! Come back again next time when I’ll have more scrap to share and some pictures from the preschool fieldtrip series ;)
Love Love and Blog You Later,

I’m not crazy about the census…we just did the minimum (# of people here) and sent it back. They don’t need any more info! Bummer you can’t count Troy. I know how little things like that get to you.
How awesome that you donated your hair! It looks pretty short…and I think a colorful headband like this: http://www.heatherbaileydesign.com/Headband.html
would be so cute in your short hair!!!
I LOVE IT! As I have said in other places already, jsut want it to be clear. You look great. Cant wait to ever get home. Wishing you all the best. Talk to you soon.
