I am so happy to be scrapping!!!

It has been a while since I sat down to scrap. Even when I did, I could not create. Well last night my niece came over and she wanted to scrap with me, so I helped her make a page for Nanna. I was so happy to be creating again. Then she came over today and made 2 more layouts. Once she left and all the dishes were done, I sat down at the scrap table to see if I could create. The first thing I did was go online to search for some sketches. I found a great sketch at 52 Sketches ning group. I love her group. THere are some amazing artists on there. These are the 2 LO's I got done tonight.

Sketch #38
Outdoor FUN



Sketch #36
Vacation



Happy scrapping!!!

Life is busy!

Seems like every time I plan on sitting down to create something, something else comes up!! We have had illnesses, sick dogs and broken appliances!! On top of that is the busy school and work schedule. I am so hoping to be able to sit and scrap this weekend. I think my scrap table is wondering where I went! lol!!

Hope to be able to share some LO's this weekend!!

Great day at the beach!!

We had a great day at the beach. We headed over to Destin for the day. Hubby's best friend was there on vacation and we have not seen them in over a year. Cool thing was that his best friend asked his girl friend to marry him today. I was so sweet.
Here we are on the beach:


It was hot, but beautiful.

Have a great day!!!

Christmas Organizer

I decided to finish the Christmas Organizer that I started last year. I plan on giving it as a gift, just undecided who to give it to. I glued the pages on to Chipboard to make it more sturdy. I painted the edges so that you could not see the chipboard. I really like how it came out.













Christmas is my favorite time of year. People seem to be in happier moods during Christmas season and I love to give gifts. I love to see the smiles on the kids faces as they open their gifts.

Hope you have a great weekend.

Mini album for my mom!

I had a good time making this mini album for my mom. This is from our "Adventure" to the north. We went to Chicago to visit my friend Kathy and them headed over to Indiana and Michigan to visit my mom's family. We had a great time. It was just me, mom and my sister. That made it really nice. No kids to ask "are we there yet" or "I have to go to the bathroom" and we could stop along the way with no complaints. It was really nice.















I still need to type up the last page. But wanted to share it. The last photo is of the stuffed frog that sits on the dash and stares at you while you ride in the hummer. I thought it would be cool to include him!

Happy Scrapping!!

It's here!! It's here!!!

I was so excited to see the mail man park and get out of the mail truck... I knew that he would have a package! And I was even more excited to open it and see the book and art that I won on Ink Stains with Roni!!! I cannot stop looking at them. I am soo excited to start creating. I am making a list of items to buy the next time I go to the craft store.
Thanks so much Roni!!!!!!!

If the shoe Fits... Scrap it!!! Challenge!

If the Shoe Fits... Scrap it has undergone a new look and they have a challenge posted to go with their new look. Go take a look at the blog and see what they have done. Here is the card I made based on the challenge they have posted.

I love it, I hate it!!!

It always seems that when I am in a "no creativity" mood, I can go to 52 sketches and get inspiration to scrap!! Their sketch this week was perfect for a challenge posted at Artistic Papercrafts over on Cafemom.
We were challenged to do a LO about an object that we love and why. It could not be food or anything that was living. Well as soon as I read that all I could think about was the one thing that I hate... my hubby's xbox!! Yes, I know it is crazy!! But it always seems that the xbox gets more attention than the yard or anything around the house. So, I still had to come up with something I love. Well that was not that hard once I looked at what was in my hand... MY BLACKBERRY!!!! Yes I am CRAZY!! But how did I ever live with out it. So here are the LO's I did.





Happy scrapping!!

Life goes on...

Seems like time keeps going even though I want to slow down. The first week of school went by so fast. Now the second week is almost over!! It is already September!!! Where did the summer go? I think that as I get older the years fly by so much faster. It is not fair. My youngest started High School this year. That was hard. I remember when my oldest went to pre-school!! Where have all the years gone? Good thing I have been scrapping for so long. I can just go back and see where all the years went.

Well I have been wanting to scrap, but just too tired to sit and do it... but tonight was different. I did get a few LO's done and a card. Will post them next. I also have some other stuff I need to share. Just have not posted them. Let me go look and see what is not posted. Be back soon.
