Long time, no see

I know, a bad, bad blogger I have been! It's been a little nuts on the homefront and I haven't scrapped in what seems ages. I hope that I've mostly caught up on my reading! Y'all have been busy too! But I do have a couple of shares. :-)

There was a DT call on Kitchen Keepsakes and we're extremely excited to have added two new uber creative members to the team, Amy Bender and Janet Miller. And we now have a Facebook page, WOOT! If you haven't already, please come over and like us! LOL

Here's a layout I did for Kristie's banner challenge this month.



And just because that was so much fun, I made another. LOL I got the idea for the paper beads from the Cosmo Cricket blog. :-)



And did you know that we now have monthly sketches on Kitchen Keepsake? Yep, we do! Here's my layout using this months sketch.



Umm, yea, there were some bad words flying putting that pineapple together. :-D

I promise I'll be back soon, I have to to show you my April calendar page! Can you believe it? Almost APRIL already! Scrappy hugs! :-)

Happy March!

Moving right along, my friend Denise reminds me that there are only slightly less than 10 shopping months left until Christmas. Seriously? I just would like to enjoy spring for a minute. But for those of you who like to get an early jump on it, yea, slightly less than 10 months. :-D

Today is also the day that we have a new guest designer on Kitchen Keepsake. Come on over and get to know Sarah. :-) Also, the uber talented Kristie has posted a new challenge and wow, did she ever rock it!

How often do y'all back up the photos on your computer? I do it every two months and keep the disks in a binder. I also keep all of my layouts at Photobucket so that they are always accessible. Just wondering if anyone has a better method, as today is backup day. :-)

Have a scrappy week!

Shh, a secret...

No, I didn't make another design team and in fact, have no interest. :-D (However, Kitchen Keepsake IS looking for a techie/marketing person, if you're interested.) The extremely creative guest designer on Kitchen Keepsake, Laura, challenged us to make a dedication page to include our photo and handwriting. In light of the fact that Caitlyn will be attending Culinard in September for a grueling 36 week certification in Culinary Arts, I thought the mini that I just completed would make a perfect graduation gift. What do you think? (no wise cracks about the mugshot please, LOL)



Here are some other creations I've made recently.

Remember this handsome guy? Like his hat? :-D And, hmmm, looks like Anne is growing a margarita out of her head now that I'm looking at it...



These pics of Ayden cracked me up. I'll admit, they gave me a bit of a mojo block since I didn't really want to go all Christmas-y, but I was amused at the title. :-D



And I forget...did I share this already? I don't think so. Caitlyn makes my head split. One minute, she's a cowgirl, the next a princess and then a hunter chic. While at Walmart, she found this camo jacket and was dyin' for it. I mean, it's her money, but seriously? And yes, she was wearing her cowboy boots at the time. Iyiyi!



I have some recipe album layouts to share, but I'll do that later, as I have another in the works, also courtesy of Laura. Thanks for stopping by! :-)

Finished!

Just a quick post to show you my completed mini. I LOVE how it turned out! Now, just to fill in the holes with some of my fav recipes. :-)







Thanks again to Amy for the thoughful and now beautiful gift! :-) Thanks for stopping by, have a scrappy week!

Snow day!

Well, not a whole bunch, but enough that the girls called a "weather day" from school, so yay me! I worked on three more pages of the mini album. :-)







And a recipe album layout for the Comfort Food challenge on Kitchen Keepsake.



That's all. For now. :-D Thanks for visiting!
