Harry Potter!

If you know me well, I love, love, love Harry Potter!  I re-read the books all the time and I love the movies.  I keep up with J.K. Rowling, and in fact her new book comes out in September.  I am excited about it!  It is an adult book, and has nothing to do with Harry Potter, but I'm sure I will still like it!  She has a "prequel" to Harry Potter available for e-readers right now.  I may have to check that out!

This layout was to scrap the last Harry Potter movie that came out last summer.  A bunch of us headed to the theater to watch part 1 and then part 2 at midnight.  We always have a blast and it is so neat to see people come out in costumes!

Black cardstock from Hobby Lobby for background.  Letter pattern paper from Black and White stack, DCWV.  Harry Potter title was created by EZ Laser Designs (got at convention).  Note card from Fancy Pants Design.  Gemstones from EK Success.

Hope you enjoyed this fun layout.  I also hope you are enjoying your summer.  I have 39 days left till students are in my classroom!  Oh my!  I better enjoy these days off!!!!  Thanks for looking!

Oh Happy Day!!!

What a great day! Actually, it started out pretty crummy, but it has turned itself around!!! I got in my photos from Snapfish! Finally! Took them forever, but I can't complain, I got 99 prints for 79 cents. They had a special!!! So now that those pics are in, I can finally start power sorting for retreat!!!

But also in the mail, were some journal tags I bought. I have been raving about Fancy pants designs journal tags that I got at the scrapbook convention. They are super and so versatile! I have used so many already! Well, I got to searching online to see if I could purchase more. I was a little disappointed in what I found at first. Most stores wanted about $4 or $5 for just one packet. I paid $1 at the scrapbook convention!!! Then I found this site called scrapbooksteals.com. They put a scrapbook deal of the day on and then archive the old ones until they are gone! Sure enough...here were my journal tags!!!! Aren't they super cute?!?!


I ended up paying about $3 a piece for them with the shipping costs, but that was still better than $5! I took some close-ups of the Halloween ones (which I didn't think I was getting). Halloween is my favorite holiday and I love all the cute spider webs, cats and stuff that companies come up with! Especially they cats! And I really love this one!!!! I've even considered a similar one for a tattoo! I'm serious!!!!

I can not wait to use these precious tags! What I really love about them is that although some are themed, you can totally work them into your regular pages!

Hope you enjoyed! I will be starting my power layouts today so hopefully I will have an update for ya tomorrow!!!! Thanks for looking!!!!
