I'm still super pumped up from visiting Hambly Studios in Santa Clara! OMG! All that Hambly in one place......YAY! In the back of the studio they set up a little shopping section and I got my shop on!!!!! Tons of awesome overlays and papers..........and even some limited edition stuff! Allison Kreft who designs the papers took a group of us on a tour of the studio..........we saw the actual screen prints being made! The prints are actually hand screen silked, one by one then put through a dryer, then quality control inspected. It was super cool to see the big machines and cool paint stained screen print templates.........awesome. I loved it. I had no idea that Hambly made stickers too! Michael's carries all of their metallic stickers, like what teachers and kids use. They even make callendars too! Allison showed us how she comes up with designs and her cool scrap space she has set up in the studio. Totally sweet and cool girl. Hambly is going places people! Can't wait to s...

Went to the Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk on Sunday. It was flippin' hot, man! Totally got sunburned and my make-up was dripping off. It was Africa Hot, people. Of course, being the scrapper that I am, I had to take pictures of my kid getting on rides.........and also of course, I took alot of bad ones too. Here are some of the Good and Bad. Jaden got on a Rollercoaster!!!!!!! It wasn't the BIG DIPPER but, it was a rollercoaster! I've been on it before and the thing goes heck-A fast. He totally was putting up his hands and take a look at the picture during the ride taken by the coaster.......his face is sooooooooo funny! I was being el chepo and didn't pay the $10 bucks for it. This picture is just as ok! :) I made sure that Lina (my SIL) held on to him real tight!!!!!!! I kept motioning to her with my arm, "hold him tight!"........what a mom. Austin was a cutie patootie.
