Some layouts to share

Our first week back to school was uneventful, so I was able to get quite a bit of scrapping in! YAY me!

I had started an album of the little girl that my girls babysit. She's the sweetest little thing and I had a blast not only taking the photos but scrapping them as well. I have no idea how many layouts blogger will let me include, but there are 12 layouts in the album. Each page title is a song title befitting the photos and at the end is a playlist with a burned CD including all of the songs. I can't wait to give it to her daddy!

Thanks to all my scrappy friends who helped with song title suggestions. I even found a couple of new favs, although I guess they are technically old now. LOL

Enjoy! :-)

Happy Independence Day!

As of tomorrow, in keeping with my new mantra "lighten the load", I am quitting smoking. Dh is joining, as well as one of his co-workers. I made us some visual reminders to help us. LOL

His and hers banners. Glen took his to work. :-)



And for Glen's co-worker:



Each number has a funny saying like "after years of smoking, all I got was this lousy hole in my neck" and "dragons look cool smoking, people don't" and "smoke, stink, die", stuff like that. LOL

I hope all my scrappy friends have a very happy and safe 4th of July, especially my soon to be American friend, Marci! Click on the link to read her inspiring story and see cool pics. :-)

Happy July!

I know I say this every month, but can you believe it?? It's July! The girls and I start back to school next Monday and at least for me, it seems I haven't had a break. But, at least the girls are excited, for a minute. LOL

I didn't have a bunch of time to scrap in June, what with taking Bob back and forth to the hospital and doctors appointments, but the big news in June is that Ethan moved out. Here is a layout I did of him giving himself a haircut. LOL



Hopefully, I will have more to share this month. We will see! Thanks for visiting! :-)

Have you ever

altered a piece of clothing? I don't mean as in hemming or taking in. I mean ALTERING? Sticking primas and brads and bling on a piece of clothing? :-D

Peyton threw this shirt in the trash just because it had a little nail polish on it! Ever the creative one, I thought, hmmm, I can fix that! Hey, if I don't have time to scrap, I can at least touch my scrappy stuff! LOL

So, I used my crop-a-dile to punch a little hole over the nail polish, picked out a matching flower and attached with a brad. It looked a little off, so I made a matching one for the other side. :-D



Yes, it's probably going in the trash again, right after I take off my flowers and brads. LOL

Ugh!!!

With postal rates going up, you'd think they'd hire people who could read! Or care!





Guess I'll have to iron the paper, which is a kick in the pants, since I don't even iron my clothes! LOL But I'm still excited about my new Fancy Pants! I'm hoping to get my scrap on tomorrow, we'll see! :-)

Happy June!

Can you believe it? Summer will be here in a couple of weeks and the holidays will soon be upon us again! Where has this year gone?

Glen and I celebrated our 22nd anniversary last Saturday. Doesn't seem like it's been that long! :-) At least he LOOKS older than me. LOL!



Hopefully I'll be back later this week to show you a couple of things I've been working on. Thanks for stopping by! :-)

Pagemaps blog is having a cool layout contest, check it out! Here is the layout I did using the sketch. I had to flip the sketch to make it work with my photos. :-)



And here's another layout I did, lifting a layout from my wonderfully talented friend Terri. You can see her layout here. Thanks for the inspiration! :-)



Thanks for looking and have a very scrappy weekend! :-)
