Guest Design Peeks

Hello!

I thought today would be a great day to share some peeks of the really awesome kit I  received from Scraptastic Club. Jessica asked me to be her Guest Designer for November (thank you Jessica!)

I used the Home Sweet Home main kit and Add-on. This Crate Paper--Farmhouse Collection was one of my must haves from CHA this last summer. I'm really glad I was lucky enough to get a full kit of it!

I created 4 layouts--2 double pages and 2 single pages. Here's my peeks! I will post the full pages very soon!

 I love the splattered look of the pumpkin colored mist!

 I always love their chipboard pieces!

Used the Silhouette, love that machine!!!

Thanks for visiting today!

Psst, remember me...I'M BACK...scrappin' that is!

 Hello!!!!!

Ok, I'll admit-I took the summer off of scrapbooking, blogging, etc. However that didn't stop me from buying scrap supplies, kits, or a new Canon Rebel (very excited about that purchase). I decided to put some of those kit to use and make something. Since the weather went from amazing fall days in to the 70' to a very windy day of low 50's in less than 2 days. I have chosen not to go outside today, so instead I spent some well deserved time in my scrapbook room.  Here's a couple layouts I worked on.

Kaden's First Day of Preschool 

(Which really was 3 years ago, yes I know I'm WAY behind)

This layout is made from a Noel Mignon Kit

 

 You Make Me Happy 

(An old Studio Calico kit)

 Playing with my Silhouette (this is the first cut out I did on it)

Celebrate Being a Girl

  ( The stamp it from Ali Edwards Technique Tuesday set-which I do a monthly sub to)

The kit is from Sweet Peach Crop Shop

  

O' Dear

(This kit is from Pink Ninjas)

 

So since I have jumped back into the scrapbook world, I'm getting my mojo and creativity back. With that news, I'm excited to say I have a Guest Design team gig all set for November. The kit is really awesome too! Full off my favorite fall line from Crate Paper and Jillibean Soup. I'm not sure if I can say who yet, but my kit should be here on Monday and I can post sneaks.

Have a great fall day y'all! Oh, thanks for stopping by and not forgetting about me!

and what's up with Blogger, I had the hardest time doing this post...ugh!

July 4th layout

Hello! Remember me!?!?!??!

It's been 6 months since I scrapped a page last.

I recently started subbing to a kit club called Scrapbook Generations. It's a great club for page kits with sketches, but for me I felt I didn't get the creative outlet I crave for. So I let the sub to this morning. I do enjoy their sketch books and bought the entire set of 8. I have plenty of products at home to use up.

Here's our July 4th community parade. My daughter was in the parade this year because she joined the Central Wisconsin Children's Theater for the summer production of Footloose, which is on stage this weekend. She has an ensemble part and loves it...just LOVES it! She enjoys acting, singing and dancing. It also keeps mom and dad busy to, with costumes, driving, and just helping out. My kids are getting so big!

If you want more info on this club you can go their blog and check it out.

I hope to get back into the scrapping routine, I miss it so much. I won't be doing any DT work for a while since we are still in home remodeling mode, middle of summer, a busy work scheduled, etc, etc, etc.

Have a great weekend and wish my daughter, Khila good luck on her production this weekend!

I should probably up date this blog...

Jeepers, really March 28 was my last blog post. Where has time gone? I'm still here, doing well.

The last couple months have been busy. We have done a lot of home remodeling, a little construction, lots of decorating and next is the roof shingling also adding on a porch, throw in a surgery back in April and recovery into the mix there and that was my last month and a half.  It seems like April/May are busy months in the first place with graduations, Easter, school trips, communion parties, oh and a garage sale I'm working on for next weekend.

As for scrapbooking goes...I have been organizing and purging (for the garage sale this weekend), I joined Scrapbook Generations monthly kit club, I bought a silhouette (YIPPY!) and also joined the silhouette store with the monthly package deal.While I was in bed recovering I watched every single video on 2 pea's and learned a lot of fun stuff (ah hum...the need for a silhouette). Now you ask have I actually scrapbooked?...that would be a big fat NO. But that didn't stop me from buying, buying and buying. I found a new online store called My Scraps and More-they have awesome sales and all my favorite products. Then I bought a couple of those Scrapbook Generations sketch books.


Let's see what else, I have spend more time in the home improvement stores then I ever thought possible learning about all the cool things that can be done in your house. So fun! I have hung drywall, painted, watched my dh put all new lights in our house, watched my dh texture the drywall, stained modeling, learned everything about toilets that I never "needed" to know, picked out more paint sample then I ever thought possible of just 1 color, I asked my dh which one looks better and he says they are all the same...um, no honey, they aren't they are all different shades of tan. We are defiantly do-it-yourselvers!

So, tell me what you have been up to! What have I missed?

I promise to scrapbook soon...I have to now that I have a new fun toy to play with, not to mention a ton of new products!

See you later...

My Little Shoebox Farewell Blog Hop

Welcome to the My Little Shoebox Blog farewell blog hop! I hope you are coming from the very talented Kathleen's blog, if not or if you just joining this randomly, go back to the My Little Shoebox Blog and hop with us. The key is to follow through, leave comments and end on on my last blog for a chance to win a great prize package.

As you know this term of the My Little Shoebox is ending and soon a new design team will be picked. As you know (if you read my last post) this is also goodbye for me with the team. But before I go, I want to share some of my past work and memories with you.

I thought I'd do a top 10 collection of my favorites this past year. I feel these10 layouts represent me the most, using the style I'm most comfortable with, which I finally, after all this time, figured out exactly what my style is. I'm a full page theme type scrapper that match my picture colors to the scrapbook supplies I'm using on that layout. As I say that to you, you'll see what I mean as you view the next 10 layouts.

 

 

Thank you for joining us on this farewell adventure. Please continue on to the very creative, Nicole's blog.

I hope you all have a wonderful week!
