Surprise! (and some seriousness)

Happy Saturday everyone!!  Just popping in to share a recent page.

Today is an important day.  Today is World Cancer Day.  We have all been touched by cancer in some way or another.  Please, today, do something in the fight against it.  Make a donation.  Reach out to someone who is battling.  Send some love to someone who has lost a loved one.  Just reach out and be part of the solution.

This disease SUCKS and has become way too big a part of my life.  While I am very lucky to not have had to battle it myself, I have watched way too many people I love do it.  Some have won but way too many have lost.  It needs to stop.  Cancer CANNOT win!!  I look at those pictures up there on that layout and can't help but think about cancer too.  You see, 3 people in those pictures have had to deal with cancer.  Two of them are with me still thankfully but one isn't and I miss her everyday!  Cancer is inextricably now a part of my life.  And I want to stop that reality from becoming someone else's.

My Little Graduate

Good morning everyone!!  Just popping in to share a throwback layout.  My girl's Junior Kindergarten graduation.  That was more than a minute ago!

Created using the January 2015 Main Kit from My Creative Scrapbook

Birthday Girl

Monday is here again.  I hope everyone had a great weekend!!

I'm popping in to share a layout of my niece's birthday from last year.  It's just about time for her big day again.  Cannot believe she is going to be 13!

The Crew

Happy Wednesday folks!  I'm sick.  Gotta admit that to myself.  My daughter has been battling a cold and now she gave it to me and my head is stuffy and gross.  Boo!!

Anyway, just wanted to share a page.  I used a large photo (one of my faves from my baby sister's wedding back in 2014) so not too many supplies but I did use goodies from October Main Kit from Hip Kit Club.

Thanks for stopping by!

A couple of layouts....

Going back to work after the holidays is tough.  It's really cramping my scrappy style!!  

I have a page in progress on my table that I hope to finish this weekend.  In the meantime, I have a couple of older pages to share with you.

Both of these pages were created with the September 2014 Main Kit from My Creative Scrapbook.

Hope everyone had a great week!  Happy Friday the 13th all!

Love You

Hello out there!!  Well, holidays are just about done.  Tomorrow marks the return to the routine of school and work.  It was fantastic while it lasted!

I played along with a couple of more challenges today.  This one is for the current challenge over at Lasting Memories to use Buttons, Bling or Brads.  I went with the bling option in the form of a bunch of sequins.  It's also based on the sketch below from Paper Issues.

I used the gorgeous December kit from Hip Kit Club.

Double Digits

Hello out there!!  I am back from a couple of days of family time and have another new layout to share.

This time I managed to combine a couple of challenges into one.  First up, the Lasting Memories Use Those Punches challenge.  On this page, I used my scallop border punch, a heart punch and a round tab punch.  This page is also based on sketch #120 from over at Sketch N Scrap.

Here's the sketch...

And my take on it using some more of the gorgeous December kit from Hip Kit Club.

Love You

I have another layout to share with you all today.  Still playing with my December kit from Hip Kit Club.  I seriously love these kits!  They are filled with gorgeousness!  And I am trying very hard to kill this kit instead of putting it away in my stash.  I am so guilty of hoarding goodies because there may one day be that one project perfect for them.  No more!  I am diving in and cutting things up and creating!

I have to give a shout out to Missy Whidden.  I love that woman's crazy talent!  I love her messy mixed media style.  My linear brain doesn't work that way but I love watching her process videos (check out her youtube channel if you've never watched them).  Anyway, I watched a video where she added colour to the white foam Thickers and I was so inspired.  Such a simple thing but takes them to a whole new level!

Love These Kids

Happy New Year!!

  Here's to 2017 being a fantastic year filled with family, love and lots of awesome memories to scrap!!

I am back today with another sketch challenge layout.  This time I played along with a Stuck?! sketch.  I didn't get it done in time to submit over there but wanted to share here anyway.

Still on holidays and still scrapping over here!  YAY!!

Played along with a sketch from the Hip Kit Member Forum on Facebook.  So, of course, I pulled out my gorgeous December 2016 kit from Hip Kit Club to play with.  Love these kits!  So much yumminess!!

Here's a look at the sketch...

Family First

I am back!  Twice in one day!!  It's been a while since that has happened.  I love holidays!  I actually get time to scrap!

I played along with another challenge.  This time I chose the December Sketch +3 Challenge over at Scrap Our Stash.  My three items were red & green (both in the paper) and a tag.

Christmas fun...

Man, it's been a while since I posted here.  Busy time of year, I guess.  And we had a stomach flu come and take residence in our house but I think we are seeing the end of all of that now thankfully.

Anyway, Christmas is coming folks!  I hope you all have a safe and merry Christmas filled with all of the people you love!

So, now some scrappiness.  I thought I would share a couple of random holiday layouts!
