Blog Move!

Hey everyone! Guess what? I am being a pain and moving my blog. I will still be on blogger but trying to merge some logins so it is not such a pain. Spread the word LOL. Hope to see you all over at the new blog. It is still under construction but you can find me over here

Project Life Update

I have another Project Life share today. I would not say I do this in the traditional way. I don't do a spread for each week etc. Just doing my own thing and creating when I have things I want to share in my album. For this spread I have my kiddos birthday and a trip to the beach (you will see lot's of those pics). I totally messed up and scrapped my beach spread before the birthday one and it was completely wrong. I was out of page protectors in that format so I just backed it on 12x12 cardstock as to not waste a bunch of goodies. Still using up the Alison Kreft collection kit. Thanks so much for stopping by again!

Project Life

I started Project Life this year intending to use the smaller Handbooks by Studio Calico and just do my own thing. Turns out I really just do not enjoy it. Hated it even. I am thinking it is the smaller size that just was not working for me. I tried out the 12x12 tonight and actually enjoyed working on it. I used a fair amount of Alison Kreft and some other goodies on this spread. I think I just might be hooked. Thanks for stopping by!

Layout Share

I can't believe my kiddo turned 12 this week. I feel so old. I had to do a new layout for him. I finally broke out this Echo Park collection I have been hoarding. I believe it is called About A Boy. I added a few other goodies and here it is. Love the Studio Calico wood background paper! Thanks for stopping by!

Paper Issues

Todays layout is in response to a challenge over on the Paper Issues blog.  If you are not familiar go check them out!  Heres a direct challenge link

Also peek around nad find their etsy shop as well.  One of my favorite shopping spots!
Anyway, on to the layout.  I used clouds on mine as part of the challenge.  I used the Maggie Holmes cloud paper again as well as a stamp i had in my stash. Sorry i can't think off the top of my head who makes it.  Here it is. Thanks for stopping by!

 

Also going to link this one up since rainbows were part of the challenge as well.

 

 

New Wheels

Yesterday Maddie got a brand new set of wheels.  I had to scrap it right away.  This layout is a nice suprise in a way.  I rarely pull out some of the items i used....Basic Grey papers, Prima flowers, to name a couple. I also actually pulled out some stamps AND used my poor neglected Cameo lol. Today, for once, i was not a lazy scrapper.  Sorry the color is a little off but its rainy and dark here today.  I still wanted to get this uploaded though. Thanks for stopping by!

Fabulous You

Sharing a new layout today! Going to try and not neglect my blog! Check back tomorrow for a new Pebbles Inc. Layout. Anyway, back to today. I absolutely love this new paper by Maggie Holmes for Crate Paper. I seriously want to buy like 25 sheets. It will be an all time favorite. If you know me well, you know i love anything witha cloud print. I mean come on, how pretty is that paper? LOVE it! So today i got to working with it and this is the result. My goofy daughter sticking her tongue out as usual. But isn't she fabulous? HAHA Thanks for stopping by!

Card Share

Wow it has been awhile hasn't it? I am finally back with a blog post. Today i am sharing a card using Fresh Squeezed stamps. I recently found them and got my first set called Hot, Hot, Hot. I am really liking this set and the quality was great. Fast shipping too! So anyway, today i am sharing a card for their Squeeze-A-Palooza challenge. You have to use their stamps (theres a free digi one on their blog) and also use a Valentine's day theme. So here is my take on the challente. Do stop by and take a peek at their fun stamps and check out the challenge on their blog here http://freshsqueezedstamps.blogspot.com/2013/01/squeeze-palooza-4-valentines-day.html

If you don't mind hit Like on my card on the Fresh Squeezed blog! Thanks for stopping by!

December Daily

Guess who is going to attempt to finish a December Daily album again this year? Yep, that's me. I purchased the Studio Calico kit to get me started. I like the album size, it is different. That plus the million other Christmas supplies i have will get me through IF i can stay motivated. Let's see what happens. I got my kit today from Studio Calico and got working on my cover so i thought i would share that with everyone. I decided to use the album vertically. I painted the cover and sprayed it with some Mister Huey's Calico Shine to add some glimmer. I think i like how it turned out.

From The Pebbles Blog

I thought i would share a layout i did for Pebbles Inc. that was up on the blog this week. If you have not checked out their blog i recommend it. Lots of good inspiration. (pebblesinc.blogspot.com) Here is the layout i created. I used the Seen and Noted collection which is really fun and bright. I love this line! As usual, thanks for stopping by!

A New Layout

Love love love the new Basic Grey Soleil collection. I am not usually a huge fan of Basic Grey but this line is very "Sassafras Lassy" haha. I got to play with it a little yesterday and here is what i came up with. Thanks for stopping by!

Card Share on Monday

Tomorrow is Madelyn's birthday so i decided to make her a card last night. She loves the handmade stuff even at 4 (5 tomorrow!) so i decided to try out some new stamps i got from My Cute Stamps and Lawn Fawn. Its simple and quick but I think she will like it.

Open House

Today am sharing a new layout! We had Open House at the school for Adam this week and i had the perfect Doodlebug papers to go with this photo so ithought i would give it a go this morning. I like how it turned out. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!
