Really...since June!

Really has it been that long since I've made a blog post. Geez let me blow the dust off.

Well we've had a super busy summer and fall. I've barely had time to scrap or think. I've been working full time since July 1st and coaching cheerleading this year. Let me tell ya...coaching is like a second job! I love it though...I love be able to do an activity with my kids. I think it's important to be active in their lives..no matter how silly I look. LOL

Sunday was the first day in a very long time I had NO plans. I didn't HAVE to go anywhere....it was a fabulous experience. So I stayed home and I scrapped. I blew the dust off my desk and I went to work. Here's what I did:

I did the All-Stars layout for a challenge on ScrapJazz. It was a recipe challenge. Use a stamp, letter stickers and only cardstock. No pattern paper.

I hope that you all have been well! I'll be back soon..because someone sent me mojo. :)

I played this weekend!

I played with paper this weekend. I received my first Scarlet Lime kit and it was filled with yummy-ness. I couldn't wait to scrap with it. I played with it Saturday while waiting for hubs to come home from work. I have a lot of paper and embellishment left to work with because I bought 2 different kits.



I did these two LOs from a prize kit I won a long time ago. These bright papers fit with the girls at the moment. This LO I did for Sketchy Thursday. I just adore their sketches.


Tonight Lexi had her dance recital. She was gorgeous on the stage. I couldn't wait to get home and get these pictures edited and up. Yep..she was a bride. They danced to Going to the Chapel. I had to get a pic of her and her daddy together. I can just see the same picture in 20 or 30 years when she actually gets married.

*I can't wait to scrap these.*

Have a great day!!

Whew....this weekend is over

What a crazy weekend we had around here. We were busy busy busy.

Friday: shopping for a friend's children' birthday party
Saturday: work, soccer, birthday party, baking
Sunday: bake sale, soccer picnic

After this crazy weekend, I managed to find time and *energy* to scrap tonight.

I've been wanting to do this one about Lexi for a while. I listed all her favorites. I'm sure some of it will be different next week, but as of right now her favorites are correct. I used this weeks sketch from Scrapbook Challenges.

I did this one for Sketchy Thursday. I really liked how it turned out. I played with my glimmer mist to make the circles. I *think* I need to get some more colors. :)

I hope you all have a fabulous day!

a little scrappiness

I love working or being back in the work force, but it's a lot harder to find time to scrap. So since I'm working 29 hours or so a week, I've decided to treat my self to a new scrapbook kit! I joined the Scarlet Lime kit club! I can't wait until I get it in the mail around the 10th. :D


Here's a couple LO I've done recently.

I did the top one for this week's Sketchy Thursday. I used pictures from this winter and some eyelets I bought forever ago. The girls were like, "what's all that banging Mommy?"

I did this one for sketch 200 on Scrapbook Challenges. I used pictures from the first time Lexi met Mrs. West. She really going to miss her during the summer.
I hope you are having a great scrappy weekend!!

Sketchy Thursday!

I'm loving the sketches over at Sketchy Thursday! It's helping me scrap some of my many photos that are laying around.

For this week's sketch I bust out Lexi's 6th birthday party pictures. I just felt inspired by them. Plus Lexi loves when I make layouts about her.


On a side note, a Big Lots near where I live had the Cuttlebug folders. I got a few tonight and I cut those circles, on the above layout, with a new die. Gigi and Lexi had a blast breaking in all the new folders and dies. I was very entertained watching them cut paper and rolling them through the cuttlebug.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my stuff! See ya soon!

Blog Candy!!

Check out this blog....she's having a huge give away!

Go...Wish...Her a Happy Birthday!!

Wow it's been a long time!

Sorry I've been such a bad blogger. We've been super busy, plus I had ZERO mojo.

I'm now a working mom...whoo hoo! I'm glad to be back at work. Both girls are in school, so the timing was perfect. Right now I'm working part time, but that's like 30 hrs a week! I definitely couldn't say no! The girls are settling well,to me working again.

I'm also an official soccer mom, both girls are playing this spring. They are loving every second of it! I love that they love it! Lexi is a scoring machine. I think she's scored in almost every game. Gigi is the smallest on her team, but she plays as hard as she can. I just wish the weather was better. They have played in rain and sleet for a couple weekends!

Pretty soon I'll be posting pics of Lexi's dance recital costume. I'm going to do a photo shoot real soon! She's going to be so adorable on the stage!

On to some recent scrappiness, I finally found some mojo this evening! I'm really excited that I made two Layouts tonight.

This one I made with the Scrapbook Challenges sketch 198. It's of my nephew's birthday party last year.


This one is for Sketchy Thursday. I finally started cutting into my Sassafrass Lass papers. I just love their colors.


Thank you for visiting! Hopefully I'll be back soon!
