Raspberry Ridge

I was invited to join a group of stamp/scrappers that travel to a place called Raspberry Ridge. It ended up being such a fantastic experience that I'm looking forward already to next year!! 
I was nervous, but excited to have all these uninterrupted days of scrapping and stamping.  I had a list of things I wanted to accomplish, and I brought EVERYTHING I had. It worked out great though, cuz I used EVERYTHING I brought! Super happy with that, I wanted for nothing. 
The food was amazing, seemed like every pair of us tried to out do the other with fabulous meals!! The best part of the whole 4 days...was that I was responsible for only ONE MEAL! I felt like a queen all weekend cuz All I had to do was go upstairs and enjoy!!
I am already excited for next year!


Here are some pretty things I got done. I did both stamping and scrapping, and I used my Cricut/Gypsy a lot. 

I am going to start with some 12x12 scrap pages that I did.

This is called Mosaic, I took many pictures, and cut them into 1x1 inch squares, and placed them to make them flow together! I love that picture of Hubby! We had such a blast in Cabo!!

 

These are some random shots from Cabo. I cannot remember if I posted the other pages I did from this trip or not. Someone please remind me! They were cute lol. 

 This is a layout I did for Hubby's Book. He and his friend went 'Squirrel Hunting' one day lol.

YES! Bacardi WAS involved! 

I used my Cricut and Gypsy for this, did the letters, squirrels and grass all in ONE CUT!

 This is a special page. I did this one in memory of our first baby, Hallway. He was our first pet, our first ANYTHING that we had together. He stayed with us for 15 years. He weighed 30 lbs when we had to put him down, and he was the best cat we ever had.

On his page, I included a cut out technique I learned from Karen M on our weekend! I love this way of adding more pictures to your pages! You do have to keep the page sleeve on, as it's glued right in the corners, but you can also put more onto the flip ups!

I started doing some pages for Our Son's 8 1/2x11 inch Book. That's all he wanted, and I found this little series of pictures to throw onto a page! We took a plane ride from the 

Isle Airport way back when...

Here is more Cricut work, and I did the texturizing on the background with Versa Mark. I love that stuff, can use it for ANYTHING! 
This is a trip Our Son took with my mom a few years before she passed away. 
I did not journal in these pages of his, I want his words in there not mine. So they look a bit plane as of yet! 
The red pages, are when he surprised me at the airport after his trip! I love the last shot of me hugging my mom and our son hugging hubby! I know they are blurry but I love them.
