Artsy is my Middle Name....


No, actually my middle name is Nicole, BUT artsy is what I have been feeling lately. Ever since I bought my Canon XTi (which I absolutely LOVE), my creative side has been bursting from all sides. With all the photos I have been taking, I have been trying to put up more artwork in the house. I haven't put much up since we have moved in because I was certain on the type of artwork to put places..... (i am very particular about my art).... BUT NOW frames are going up all over the place.


I am a "black frame" girl.... meaning I love everthing with a black frame around it...not silver, not gold, BLACK! So yesterday I bought two cheap black frames with mats at Target... the frame was 8x10 with a mat for a 4x6 print. i have decided to hang these two frames vertically by my front door, which is near the slate blue room... to add my creative "Zing" to the mats, I covered each mat with a piece of scrapbook paper. The one paper is of dots, the other is of funky flowers, which both have the navy blue color like in the living room walls and also orange, because I have two orange pillows as my accent color.... VOLLA! So easy, So inexpensive... now, just need two photos to put in them!!! Black and white preferably!

The Newest Family Member...


No- I am not pregnant. But we do have a new little guy who has joined the Nusbaum Family. Please meet Canon XTi. YES!!!!! Its my new baby!

Who is so pumped that she screamed in the car after she bought it... ME! Yup... I am so estatic I can barely stand it. I have wanted a sweet Digital SLR since I was a Junior in College. Finally, my dreams have been answered. AMEN!

This camera is AMAZING... It was a hard decision between this Canon XTi and the new Nikon D40x.... but in the end, after careful consideration from friends.... the Canon won. And I am very happy with my choice. Now, let the fun begin!

Love, Erin loves Elsie!


So you are probably wondering why I haven't posted anything about art, scrapbooking or photography in a while. Well, I must admit, I had to take a break. I am getting way into scrapbooking again, as well as photography! I have a wedding photography job in October which I am very much looking forward to. But for right now, my current obsession are these new Love, Elsie products. First of all, I love Elsie and and Elsie's style. So amazing. So next time you are shopping, check out her products. They are way too fun!

The only thing that scares me...



So I must admit that I am actually scared of something... I love scarey movie, love blood, cuts and gore! LOVE IT! But there is one thing that will scare the living daylights out of me... a freaking crazy clown.
These pics are from frightcatalog.com... and they are freaking nuts! Wish a could afford them (2000.00 at the most).... but I can surely live without these! Whew!
