Hey! I'm back!

Feels great to be home! I was gone for 3 weeks. It's only been a few days since I came back. I was jet lagged for 2 of them but I managed to re-adjust my schedule after the second night.

We had a great trip and one of the best experiences was hiking to the crater of Mt. Vesuvius. It was tough in the heat but so worth it! You can feel the heat at the crater and the view is wonderful.Coming down was so much easier but very slippery!
Hiking up Mt. Vesuvius

Made it up to the crater!

The view!
 One of the most relaxing days was when we went to Mykonos. It was beautiful, cool, and the people were friendly. I have so many places to tell you about, but I think it's going to take some time :)
Had some coffee and ice cream at this beautiful place

Tried some oregano flavored chips

The view. Look at the color of the water!
Here's a few pictures for now. I'll get around to posting more soon! I'm gonna try to get some pictures printed so I can start scrapping the trip.

I'm looking forward to drawing a winner for my giveaway! It will probably happen Saturday night and I will post it that night or Sunday morning. Time sure flies! It's seems like yesterday when I first posted about the giveaway. I can't believe it's almost over!

Make sure you enter! The link is on my sidebar :)

See you all soon!

DCWV and Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft

I'm so excited about this blog hop! I've loved Faber-Castel products for a long time and it was so much fun to combine them with my favorite DCWV textures. There’s some great prizes too- Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft and DCWV will be giving away $75 in product at the end of the hop.  To win, follow the list below and leave a comment .  The hop will end at 5PM EST on Friday, March 28 th .  The winner will be announced on Monday, March 31 st on each of the company’s blogs.    I really wanted a special page for these pictures. They give me a very HAPPY feeling  and I love the sun rays coming through the trees. I wanted to mimic that in the background paper. I thought the woven craft cardstock was a great background because its a little less stark than white for these pictures.   I wanted the journaling to be more private so I made it a pull tab behind this cut out tag from the Bohemian Sunrise stack.    ...

Christmas with Clear Scraps & DCWV

Welcome to Day 2 of the DCWV and Clear Scraps blog hop! You should have come from Britt's blog: http://pinkpapercrowns.blogspot.com Thanks for making it this far!  On to the project... I might have a LO or 2 about Christmas....Why? I just never get around to making more of them! The Holidays are usually too crazy and then I get into doing LOs of just ever day stuff or travel pics... and the holidays just get forgotten.  This year, I'm ready! I'll have the album pre-made, I just have to stick on the pictures and add some journaling! I used this 8x8 tabbed acrylic album from Clearscraps to create a Christmas mini that is ready to go.  The papers are Christmas Memories with a little bit of the Christmas and winter Diecut stack, the Christmas basics 6x6 & the Burlap stack. I love clear albums because I like to see the layers through the clear pages.    I folded the 12x12 papers in half and cut them to create pockets for ...
