Customize your Clear Stamps

So I was going through my stamps & I found a set of houses that while being so cute, they just wouldn't be used by me. As I looked at them a light bulb went off..... I really really really needed some triangle stamps & Ta-Da now I have them!

Gotta admit........for a moment I felt like a mad genius when I saw the potential triangles LOLOL

I know, I know the triangles were quite visible...but I still felt brilliant for a second :p

Hope you can see the potential in your stamps that you just aren't going to use 

& make them into something new :)

My 3 Crazy Kids Layout

My kids are nuts....no really, LOL. When they these 3 teens are in a goofy mood, ya never know what can happen. Yes they argue sometimes like all siblings do. But when they are like this...watch out, because it get's crazy. Crazy in a good way of course. 

These photos were taken after an Easter dinner at the Greenhouse here in Brooklyn. And no I can't get them to dress up all nice & sweet anymore...only for church & then the regular clothes come out.

Anyway, I'm thinking the chocolate mousse is the reason for their madness right here. Oh & these were only 3 of the 25 photos I took. Craziness does not show up well on a camera. :)

Don't forget the before shot at the end of the post....

LOOK

I hand wrote on my page! Yay me! Still don't like my handwriting but glad that my kids will have it one day. Plus way easy!

I wrote this about a month ago on the SC message board:

"I have been struggling for years to try to like my handwriting so I could write directly on my pages. I always either type it or hide it in or behind something. I've practiced & practiced through the years. Over the last month or so I have started using the pen I like for scrapbook journaling (uni-ball) for everything I write. I mean everything...even when I jot a short list. I have been writing everything in capital letters too. It's really been helping me after all these years of trying different things. Still not confident to write directly my pages yet. But I'm way close. Just figured I'd share, maybe it will work for you too. :)"

I guess I got my confidence :)
