Taste of Chicago

Hello....

Here are a couple pictures from our Taste of Chicago trip last week. We had so much fun. I think we ate till we were almost sick!!





I plan on working on some cards on Wednesday. I am making one for The Pink Elephant Challenge #22. The challenge this week is Stars and Strips (strips of paper, ribbon, etc) I will post a picture when I'm done. If you scroll all the way down I added a slide show of some of my cards. I have been playing around with my blog.

bright red is the base card
bright pink is the flower and the pink toes and nose on the hippo
black is the ink I used for Don't Feed the Animals
grass green is the ribbon and paper

Taste of Chicago Book

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!

For the past five years I have been going to Taste of Chicago! I will be going Thursday with Seth, Jenn, and Stephen! If you have never been you need to go. Here is a tip. Go as soon as it opens. Then when it is the official lunch time (when all the office buildings get out ) leave and go uptown. Then come back a few hours later. We have found that doing that it is less busy! Plus you can walk off some of the food and have room for more.

Every year I go I have the thought of scrapbooking the trip. I only did it last year because that is where Seth asked my to marry him. By the big fountain! So this year I got smart! I made a mini book today. Very simple. I will add pictures when I get back and more bling! Take a look!


THis is the cover. You might notice that I used more than one mini book. I put the pages together!









I got all the parts and pieces today for it at my local scrap store. The Memory Zone in Plymouth. If you need anything...go the the MZ!! Super Nice!!

I am also working on some animal cards today!! If I get them done I will post samples later today!!

Happy Camper

Here is the card I made for a friend of Seth's to thank him for letting us borrow his camper for ICOO kids camp.
