"Get To Know Me"
Blog Hop!
Well it feels like this hop has been in the planning forever so I am pretty thrilled the time has finally come! We have an incredible Design Team at Stuck on U Sketches and wanted everyone to have a chance to get to know us a little bit better and so, this hop was born!
First you will start at SOUS for the hop and you'll find all the info there but if you've come from Fern Riley's blog then you are doing good...you'll find my blog candy info at the end of this post...
So, about those "getting to know me" questions...here I go...
1. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Why?
Yellow! That was easy, it's always been my favorite color (next to blue) and represents my happy, sun-shiny personality! LOL!

I've been married for 9 years. Our first born was adopted locally, the second came soon after so they are a year and a half apart and then #3. So 3 kids in 5 years!
I am one of 6 kids and my parents are still married, my sisters are my best friends!
I am more in love now then ever and happier then I've ever been in my life!

Disney World set up in some far off tropical island with my whole family

Echo Park
9. Tell us a bit about your crafty style.
I really don't feel like I have a style but I am drawn to vivid color and fun prints.
My pages are more "fun" then CAS or shabby chic or whatever... =)

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area (Nor Cal baby!)

Never Say Never
I looked through photos of myself and always have wanted to scrap this very pregnant iPhone picture of myself but it had an awful background (of a pizza place, LOL) so I used this beach picture I took and photoshopped them together! Go me! Anyways, my biggest life story is the story of my kids so that's the best place to start for "getting to know me".
"Never say never" comes from how I would go on and on and on about NEVER being a pregnant person. My story is a little different as I wanted to adopt my children instead of having them biologically. So that's what we did...until getting pregnant even with using birth control! I thought my world had been turned upside-down...it had, having kids no matter how they come to you, is an adjustment to say the least! So this is my story.
I've used Simple Stories for the paper and stickers. Everyday Life is a stamp with a sticker added to it. The bee is chipboard from Sassafrass. The "flower" was meant to be a complete circle but I didn't measure correctly so went with the half flower thing! LOL!
The months and years my babies were born...and showing off the 4 layers of borders.
And my journaling.... I knew I wanted to really write on this layout so started looking for ledger paper so that I'd have lines to write on...the rest was picking what paper to go with it!
And lastly as promised a little treat to share...This may not look like much but there is probably around 100 separate die cut pieces here! Seriously! I've used my well loved Papertrey Ink stamp and coordinating dies to create a bunch of goodies! I'm sorry the photo may be lousy but I was trying not to post so many separate photos. I hope you like! I'd love for you to become a follower but don't believe in making it a must to win. Thanks and best of luck!
Ok tried to keep it short as I could! Well...next the hop hop hop will be to....Lisa Norris!
Thanks for coming by! I'll announce the blog candy winner on Monday!
