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 These Kids

Happy New Year!!

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

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.

Good Times

Hello out there!  Well, Christmas has come and gone for another year.  I hope all of you who celebrate had a magical holiday!  After the hustle and bustle, we decided to have a lazy day yesterday so I spent some time at my table getting scrappy!!

I decided to play along with sketch #119 from Sketch N Scrap.

PLAY - Sketches In Thyme 224

I was home today for a doctor's appointment and found a wee bit of time to sit at my table and play.  I decided to use this sketch from Sketches In Thyme (#224)

And here is my take using some older pictures of my girl and some super old My Mind's Eye.  I just love when I use up something that has been in my stash for a long time!!

Purple Power

I played along with another sketch this past weekend.  This one was from the Scrapbook Nerd Facebook group.

And here is my take.  I rotated it and used bigger pictures so it took a bit of a different feel.  I also used up some super old Basic Grey papers (Euphoria).  I apparently do not have too much in my stash with purple.

At the Movies ~ Stuck?!

Create Memories

The weekend is here and I am looking forward to a family bbq tomorrow!!

I have spent the last couple of days cleaning out and organizing my scrap stash!  What did I learn from this?!?!  I have WAY TOO MUCH!!  It certainly reinforced my spending freeze!  I need to use some of this stuff up!  Now, that it is all clean and pretty, I want to sit and scrap!  That'll mess things back up in no time!  ;)

Anyway, popping in to share a layout today...

Created with Fancy Pants' Burlap & Bouquets collection.

This one is based on a sketch Laura Whitaker designed for ScrapMuch? a while ago.  I love Laura's sketches!

We're off to see the Wizard

Hey folks!  I am back again today to share another layout.  

 Created with Stampin' Up papers

And I used this older sketch from the Basic Grey blog.

I hope you're all staying cool!  It is crazy hot here.

So long Grade 2...

I was home today for an appointment and actually got a layout done before I had to head out this morning.  Yay for scrappy time!!

Created with Simple Stories' Smarty Pants collection

I based my page on this sketch from the Imaginisce blog.  Sadly, I had none of their products in my stash though.  :(

I am beautiful.....

Friday is here!!  Yay!!

Just popping in to share a page with this gorgeous photo of my sister.

This layout is my interpretation of this sketch from Stuck?!.  It's a pretty simplistic interpretation but my brain was going with 'less is more' on this page!

Before & After

Hello there everyone!!  Hope you are all enjoying your weekend!  I am happy to say that I have actually spent some time at my scrap table this weekend!!

Just wanted to pop in and share a layout.  This one is for the challenge (LCMB #296) over at Lasting Memories.  They are making everything "all about me" this month which I think is a great idea because we rarely scrap about ourselves (or maybe that's just me).  

 Created with Stampin' Up papers.

This page is also based on this sketch from Sketches in Thyme (Sketch #177).

I got an unexpected day off today after my daughter was up most of the night due to congestion and cough.  So, while she caught up on some sleep today, I spent a little time at my scrap table!  I decided to play along with the current sketch from ScrapMuch?
