More Layouts!

I managed to get all the challenges done for the Birds Crop! Felt good to scrap this much. Here's what I created...

Cropping this Weekend!

Birds of a Feather Kit Co. is having a Lovebirds weekend crop! The DT has posted some great inspiration on the boards to get you in the scrapbooking mood! I've managed to get two done so far and I'm working on a third. If you have time, head over to the site and see what challenges are posted!   These are the two I have done so far. Hoping to get all of them done by Wednesday...which is the deadline for submissions. 

Photo Op

So, yesterday my darling teenage son forgot his math book at school. After reminding him several times to bring it home, you could say I was not happy when he told me he didn't have it. Since he had some assignments to redo I had to take him up to school to get the book. Now, I always have my point and shoot camera in my purse since you never know when a picture opportunity will present itself. Right? Right! And a photo op jumped right out at me yesterday. I planned on taking a pic of Ty and his locker before we even left the house. But I didn't know it would work out so well. His locker is right under the school sign. Then Tyler was even wearing his "Class of '17" sweatshirt. Locker, school name, and class sweatshirt. HOW COULD I NOT TAKE A PICTURE? Even though I was annoyed with him it didn't stop me from getting a good picture. Sometimes it's just too good to pass up! Don't tell him I'm glad he forgot his book.

Have a great weekend!

Yeah. I'm still here.

I know. I know. It's been a while. I said I would keep my blog up and I haven't. I've been posting on Facebook and other galleries and haven't paid attention to this. So, I thought I'd post some layouts to catch up a bit. I did this one for a sketch challenge at Birds of a Feather

This is one of Kate and Dexter that I did on a scrap weekend in October.

Here's Kate getting ready for her first parade!!

Used some yummy Elle's Studo goodies for this one

I think the sign says it all!! :)

Plan on doing some more scrapping and trying out for a design team (or two)! Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Saturday Pics

Mom, me, Kate, Cole and Reed went to a local hobby store for a Breyer event. They had a sale on the horses Kate collect. They also had a little petting farm and pony rides in the parking lot. It was really cute! Cole and Kate had a good time petting all the animals. Loved the funky alpaca and Kate wanted to take a chicken home! Cole took two pony rides but Kate didn't want to since the guy walked the kids around the parking lot. But I walked out of the store and found Kate walking the horse around on her own! She told him she rides and leads horses all the time so he let her take him! I was waiting for her to jump on and take off!

Here she is walking the horse around. She told me she wants a job there now!

It's been a fun weekend! Hope you all enjoyed yours!

What? I have a blog?

Look what I found! My long lost blog. I have not posted in such a long time. I even managed to ignore a few comments that friends left. (sorry Heather and Izzy!) Plan on keeping up over here with some scrappy stuff. At least that's the plan. This is the last layout and card I created. The layout is made using Echo Park Everyday Eclectic which I just love. The papers are from one of the August kits @ Scraptastic. I used some Dear Lizzy for the card, which I also love! Did both of these for challenges at Birds of a Feather.

I cropped tonight with my sister and managed to do 3 layouts. I'll take some pictures and post those soon! Have a good weekend!

Happy New Year & An ST Sketch Challenge!

Happy 2012 to everyone! Hope you had a good time ringing in the new year. Ours was nice and mellow which was fine with me. (a change from when I was younger and had to be doing "something" or I wasn't cool!)

I hope to organize a bit this year. I say it every year but this house needs some major organizing so we have a bit more room for things. Wish me luck...i'm going to need it.

I plan on scrapping a lot this year too! Between scrapping and my Project Life I should have a lot to work on. If you are in the scrapping mood head on over to the Sketchy Thursdays Blog and get some inspiration. This weeks sketch is another great one. Make sure, when you create a layout based on the sketch you link your layout to the site for a chance at to win a prize. We love seeing everyone's work! Here's this week's sketch and my take on it.





The deadline to turn in your layout is Wednesday, January 11th!! Happy Scrapping!
