I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! Last night I went to see the movie Angels and Demons. It was awesome! I spent a few hours today practicing my driving skills so I can get my license soon! (I recently turned 16)

New York Trip - Subway
Happy May long weekend to everyone! I sure wish I could be camping like everyone else but atleast I got to sleep in a tent last night for the first time this season!
I have recently started my New York album! I am very excited about it. Instead of going with a colour theme through the whole book I am just doing a page at a time. This way the pictures match each page better and since there are so many colours in New York this works better.
I created this page about the subway because it was our main transportation through the week. I even included my metro card! It's under the journaling and even matches the colour theme.
Supply List:
- ink- really rust
- paper- not quite navy, really rust, apricot, splatter from costco, velum
- other- sewing machine, SU tab punch, ribbon, cuttlebug

old to new - chai tin
So for an unknown reason I have been saving all the cool tea packages I can find. I decided to modge podge them all on a iced tea can. I plan to keep embelishments or tools in this container as it is quite big. I really like the look of the chai tea packages. There are tons of different colours which makes a neat collage.
To stick all the packages on I used double sided tape. I also put a clear layer of mack tack stuff on top.

love bird
Today was a beautiful day! The sun is shining, it is super warm and I even saw a woodpecker! I hope your weather is as beautiful as it is here... although we might be getting flurries this week :(
Here is a card that is a little different than what I usaully do. There are so many possibilities with this Basic Grey stamp set. I mainly just bought it because I loved the branches but it also has tons of flowers, birds and butterflys.
I wanted to spotlight the bird so I used a small paper circle as a mask. The tree branch was done using the emboss resist technique.
- ink- tea dyd distress ink, tempting turquise, embossing ink
- paper- very vanilla, tempting turquoise, Scenic Route blue grid background
- stamps- Basic Grey build-a-branch, SU gently falling (love)
- other- printed tape measure, clear ep, embroidery floss

a special card for mother's day
This has got to be the coolest idea I have ever seen! I was watching Leah's Scrapbook Room on youtube a couple weeks ago and this is where I first saw this great slider card! Go watch the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4aGxrihyqk&feature=channel_page for more information. All their other videos are awesome too!
Ok so the front of the card is like this... you suspect nothing!
You start to pull the ribbon and not just one pannel comes out but... OH MY! there are two!
**Update**
My mom was so amazed! She didn't even want to watch the video because she just wanted to think it was magic! haha

Live
For the flower silhouette I stamped it with a stamp from the gel-a-tins "wild things" set. I covered it and the letters with black fabric paint for a shiny look.
