Hoobastank Concert Photos

1230 we went to lunch in the Food Court, there was a meet and greet scheduled for 2pm.. So at 1pm my girls started a line for the meet and greet. After the went through the line twice.. (LOL)the first time they got autographs but went around a second time for a photo..

Then straight from the meet and greet to line up for the Concert because it was moved to the Cinema due to weather.. Hoobastank came on after 8pm and I got home at 11pm.. what a LOOOOONNNNNGGG day.

Blessings

Cardstock: Stampin Up Pink (sorry dont know the official color) Leavin prints Blue Swirls, Green
Flower Stamp from Stampin Up, Blessings from CTMH Friendship Blessings set#D1191

The stamp was part of an image swap I was in, I have trouble keeping the names of stamps if I don't own the stamp.. sorry..
Ric Rac Ribbon from walmart

Hoobastank Concert

Woo Hoo! Today Hoobastank is here, we are just one of their stops along their tour of Military Installations where they are giving a FREE concert! I couldn't be more excited.. I will be heading out the door for the meet & greet session hoping to get photos of them. Also because of the weather the concert location has been changed to a smaller venue so now I have to make sure I hoof it to the location with enough time to get a good set for the concert..Woot!

So I am sorry that I will be away from creating and posting today.. I am in concert mode armed with 2 cameras and a video camera.. crazy me? nah.. ok maybe just a little teeny tiny bit..

I was able to get some great photos outdoors of Smash Mouth when they were here but being indoors I think the photo quality will not be the best.. (disappointed but still hopeful)

Have a great day everyone!

Happy Birthday to You

Today is my daughter Caitlins' 10th Birthday.. Although she is waiting to have a Birthday Party so her Daddy can be home. (he is currently deployed).. We bought some ice cream, Cookie Dough flavored and some candles.. We (her sister and I) sang Happy Birthday to her while the cnadles dripped wax into her yummy ice cream, she did not mind.

No presents today either..I know bummer for her but I did take her shopping for school clothes and at 10 years old she has her style and personality and Mom just does not get it.. After 1.5-2 hours of shopping i was ready to come home and have ice cream it was so HOT and HUMID today...ughhgh

She was happy though ad that is all that matters, we did stop and rent Race to Witch Mountain and I bought her a copy of a Magazine that had only information about the movie New Moon and Robert P.

Twilight Inspired

Background stamp and Heart with Dazzled are from Artful Inkables Into The Moonlight set

Sentiment is from Artful Inkables Fictionally Inspired set

Both are awesome stamp sets for any Twilight obsessed fan, or Vampire Fan.

You can not tell in the picture but I have this awesome sparkly bling that I purchased a while ago almost looks like clear cake sprinkles on the card..gives it that nice little POP!

Paper DCWV/ Ink CTMH Black & White/ Color Pencil Red Velvet/ SU Scallop Punch, SU 1 1/4 Circle punch

Hello Everyone..

New Blog Name:
I have changed my Blog Name from Scraps N Wraps to Paper Crafters Anonymous..

New Blog Address:
I am preparing to move this blog to: www.papercrafters-anon.blogspot.com yeah how fun!
I hardly ever do any scrapbooking I am more of a papercrafter and cardmaker, and I definitely need to find a support group for this addiction of mine.. This is where the idea of the new blog name came from anyway and I thought to change the blog address to go along with the name change as well, but I didn't want to leave the old blog without telling anyone about the change..
I will keep you posted of the official changeover.

New Blog Look:
How do you like the new look of my blog? I see with all of my changes I may have disabled some links I will work on setting them all up again later today.

My Blog Description for Blogger:
