About Me

I'm a 23 year old mom and Marine wife, in my case it means I am a Marine as well as the wife of a Marine. Scrubby is getting out November of this year and I got out October of 08. I have a gorgeous daughter named Aurora Abigail who turned 1 this year and a handsome son named David Anthony III who was born late August of this year. The love of my life is my husband, David! We recently relocated from my home state of California to my husbands home town of Houston, TX! I just started scrapbooking earlier this year and I have to admit that I am addicted! Especially to mini-albums and everything grungy and vintage!

My computer is on the fritz!!!

Hi there everyone!!! I just want to let everyone know that my computer is not up and running right now. I'm using my phone but unfortunately i can't check everything on there. Some websites just don't upload right and links don't work ... with blogger i can't upload new posts so i had to escape the house for a little bit and sneak into a computer cafe! lol! Unfortunately with a baby it's not to easy to spend too much time in here so i don't think i'll be doing this again! No worries! My computer will be back on the 16th!!! Hopefully! *crossing my finger* So it's not too much longer now! I'm eager to get it back! I have some things i want to finish up and take a couple of snaps of and upload!

92 days of summer contest ...

YMBD is having this great contest called 92 days of summer. The goal is to take one picture everyday of the summer ... at the end of each week, create a layout! Sounds simple enough right??? Lol! I'm still so confused about what i'll be doing exactly but i thought i'd share the pics that i have so far. The general theme of the whole album i will be creating with this contest is "Summer Through The Eyes of a Princess". The princess being my daughter, Aurora!!! So all pictures will be of my daughter really growing up and being a crazy baby! I'm looking forward to it because we have some special events planned for our family this summer. Aurora's 1st bday, her 2nd trip to Disneyland, zoo trips, museum trips, beach trips, pool trips, picnics, spending time with grandma in LA, moving to Houston, airplane trip, Aurora becoming a big sister ... those are just a few of the things we know we want to do this summer so it'll be really fun to capture those memories through scrapbooking! It's not too late to jump on the band wagon for this contest. Follow the banner below!

1st Annual Card Showdown {@} 2S4U ...



So, here is my entry for the 1st Annual Ultimate Card Showdown that's happening over at 2 Sketches 4 You. It's a really fantastic challenge going on and the grand prize is $500 worth of goodies in scrapbooking tools and supplies!!! WOW!!! I know my photography probably isn't the best ... my camera broke down on me and i haven't been able to replace it so for now my phone camera will have to do! Pooh! I hope this doesn't affect how my card is judged!!! :/!!! Eeek!!!

Anyways, I love how it came out ... the distressed zebra patterned paper and that gorgeous hot pink patterned paper with crowns is from Glitz. I love how youthful their line is ... it's very cool and rock & roll and it's very much my personality so i love using it! I also used black, tink pink and precious cardstock. I added a lil bit of bling on my scallop detail and a crown punch and flourishes. I hope you enjoy it and I hope the DT loves it too! To check out the challenge yourself visit 2sketches4you.blogspot.com

It's ME!!!

Hi everyone out there!!! Just a little about myself ... my name is Stephanie!!! I'm a mother and wife. My husband's name is David and i have a daughter whose name is Aurora. She'll be turning 1 in July!!! We are also expecting our second baby due August 30th!!! Luckily for us, we are having our little boy who will be named David after his daddy! We're so blessed and lucky!!!

Before mommy and wife, I was a Marine ... I finished my 4 year contract in October of '08. David is also a Marine and we actually started dating (kind of!) while we were both in Iraq. When i got to come home from that deployment, David had to stay for another 7 months. But he got to come home for 2 weeks first. In that time we got married ... and 3 weeks after he returned to Iraq, we found out about our first little miracle baby! He came home just 4 months before she was born ... and 4 months after she was born ... we got the sneaky little surprise of our second miracle baby!!! It was a complete shock and we never expected it but here he is and we're eagerly awaiting his arrival!!!

David will be getting out of the Marines soon and we'll be making a permanent move from my gorgeous and beautiful home state of California to his hometown of Houston, Texas. I'm really looking forward to it but i can honestly say i am NOT looking forward to the humidity or the crazy weather!!!

So that's it about me and my family! Besides that my newest addiction is scrapbooking and this blog will be completely dedicated to posts about my scrap addiction! Eventually i will be adding youtube videos of my future projects and i hope i can grow a following for everyone to enjoy!

<3 smooches!!!
