Getting a chance to try out the ol'room

I was able to sneek in a bit of time after supper yesterday to play a bit in my newly reorganized scrapbooking room. I've had some requests to go through my storage process and I'll try and do that soon. For now here's some stamping/scrapbooking stuff that I've done recently. This card was made with some cuttlebug embossing strips. They are similar to folders but skinny so they only emboss a small area. Would you believe that they've been in my stash since Christmas and I've only used them in April? So bad!
This card was created with glimmer mist even though you can't really tell. I'm not a spritz kind of girl. I find it messy when I attempt it and it leaves my paper all wonky. However the marshmellow color seems to be ok for me cause I don't tend to overspray the paper, hence less wonky paper.
Just a note...none of these layouts are crooked irl, not sure what happened when I took the photos.
These layouts are all done with an older Just Cre8 kit featuring Cosmo Cricket's Hello Sunshine papers. I love the bright bold patterns! They just seem to work well with lots of my photos. I did add some extra black accents because I felt the yellow was too powerful and the black helps to ground it. Don't you love my boots?

This layout was done for a Scrapshotz challenge about scrapbooking our rides. I drive the truck on a regular basis but not the Camaro because to be honest I'm scared to death of something happening to it! This past fall we got ride of my Mom-mobile (aka mini van) and since we only drive one vehicle (dh has a company truck) we needed something more practical out here in the boonies. I'm beyond thrilled with my truck and love it completely!! The Camaro is a whole 'nother story. Dh saved up for it and bought it when he was 17 and has had it ever since. It was our wedding car and he also plans for it to be his mid-life crisis car! lol! Right now the transmission is in the process of being fixed so its up on blocks but totally hot car!

Just my Owen being silly. He yells COOL! every time he puts on some shades ;)

This photo was so fun to scrapbook. I took this photo of Owen at my mom's and she had just redone her porch swing to this very fun fabric. Too bad Owen was less than stellar at sitting still.
Sponge Bob Easter basket (oxymoron anyone?) on his head...nuff said.

Awesome! I thought the first card was made out of leather. Need to learn about embossing.
