14th year

Hello again my scrappy friends!  A (sort of) sad card for me...made for my daughter's 14th birthday.  How can she be 14 already?  It's going way tooooo fast!  We are blessed that she is a good girl, a good person always trying to help others when she can, a great student...her lowest grade is a 96, and does her chores when I only have to ask three or four times!  Guess you have to take the good with some of the bad...it could be worse, this I know!

Here is one of her cards.  Her birthday is tomorrow but her family party is later this month...there'll be another card for that!

I'll be entering my card into the challenge Kat Scrappiness Blog is hosting this weekend!

Also entering into Stick It Down card sketch....I've definitely used some creative license!  I did add the heart and alphas...the sketch full of letters was my inspiration!

All American Family

Hello my scrappy friends!  I made this layout last weekend during my scrappy weekend.  Fourth of July celebration in 2011 at my sister's house while my husband was traveling for work.  There are so many other photos but these fit this challenge!

Lasting Memories - Stars:  This challenge requires you to use stars on your layout.  Quite simple for a Fourth layout!

Running Studs

Hello once again my scrappy friends!  I just completed a layout I began yesterday.  This one is of my brother-in-law and my son running a 5k in our development years ago.  My husband was one of the events organizers so he couldn't run with our son.  I did the walk with our daughter, my sister and aunt. 

I'll be entering this into Sketches In Thyme #321 challenge.  This was a great sketch with which to work!
I'm also entering the Use Your Stuff blog challenge.  It's a free week so go for it!!  The "stuff" I used for this LO are the enamel dots.  I have a few, ok several, and just never remember to use them!

Remember, just be you!

Hello my scrappy friends!  I'm home from a weekend full of layouts and laughs.  As usual, I packed too much and didn't create as much as I wanted but I had a great time! 

One layout I did create is for Sketches in Thyme challenge #322.  Pictures are of my kids playing in the backyard with some friends a few years ago.  I loved being able to use so many scraps of bright, fun papers!

My Creative Girl

Hello my scrappy friends!  Here is a layout I created while attending a scrappy weekend crop. Having lots of fun, lots of laughs....now I need to create lots of layouts!  On this layout I’ve incorporated several techniques....stencils, splatters, rub-ons (I haven’t used them in years!),  Cricut die cuts, and stickers.

I’m entering this layout into the Stick It Down layout challenge for this month!  Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments!
Enjoy your weekend,

A Creative Day

Hello my scrappy friends!  Waiting for my kids to finally get out of bed and bring their dirty clothes to the laundry room...apparently it's too difficult to put them in the laundry basket each night!  Laundry day is always so loonnggg!  Drives me crazy!  But, it gives me time to finish creating my LO and post it!

My daughter and son were doing some dress up play.  This LO is of Keira, apparently "pregnant" with a stuffed piggy!  It was hysterical...her walking around holding her back, moaning, trying to sit and get up from the couch.  She was almost 7 years old when these pictures were taken.  She doens't dress up like this any longer, good thing since she'll be 14 years old in two weeks (yikes!), but she still have a terrific sense of humor!  For that, I'm most thankful!

Check out these blog challenges where I'm entering this LO!

Family Fun

Hello again my scrappy friends!  Here is another LO have finally completed.  Its taken probably one week, after throwing it to the side two times, and I mean literally throwing it to the side!  I spilled ink on it twice, on both pictures on two different occasions,  glue from another project landed on it...on the pictures again, I stamped some flourishes like I've never stamped before in my life...got on a picture and wasn't exactly straight.  It's been through the ringer but I persevered and it has been finished!  Not my best work, but not my worst either...amazing how some die cuts and punches as cover mistakes! 

I'll be entering this layout into....
