Beer on the brain

In just three more days, I'm hitting the road for Beerfest in Atlantic City with a bunch of my friends and I really can't wait to get away! I'm just so tired of work right now. We'll be launching the new typefaces while I'm away and I'm so glad I won't have to deal with it!

So I went cropping on Saturday and by some miracle, I was actually in the mood to scrap! Maybe my creativity is coming back to me!

The crop was celebrating its second anniversary so we had a special treat. One of the scrapper's daughter works for Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken - which you may know from Cake Boss - and she made this cake for us. And it was really good, too,


This crop had a strange six-degrees of Jersey reality shows. First there was the cake. Then I scrapped this layout from Uncle Rob's surprise party. The party was at the Brownstone, which is owned by one of the families on the Real Housewives of NJ.

Then I scrapped these silly photos from last year's Beer Fest. When I was taking these photos at the Tropicana, I had to scoot out of the way to make room for Jersey Shore's The Situation and his entourage.

Crazy huh? I don't even watch any of these shows but they seem to have taken over NJ! Well, I also did two other pages (and have one more 2-pager I need to finish up) that have nothing to do with TV shows.
