Basic Grey = Love

I just love the sketch Basic Grey gave us to use for one of their challenges.  It's such a versatile sketch and will be used again.  :D

Thanks for checking it out!

Happy Scrappy Day!!!

Hello Scrappers...it's a beautiful day of glitter and glue.  I think I've inhaled a lot of both.  :)

Here's one of the layouts I've done today. :)

It's for the Basic Grey shape challenge.  We had fun glittering the stars!! :D 

I'll be back with more.  

Beth:) 

I know it's been a LONG time!

I can't believe I haven't posted anything since 2010.  Well being a mom of 2 growing, busy girls, things get pushed to the back burner.  For instance I've hardly scrapped in the past few months.  But you know I keep getting new scrappy stuff.  It's an addiction I know.  LOL Well..let me show my girls..they have grown a lot.  *pout*

Here's Ms. Lexi, she 8 and full of life.  

                                               Here's Gigi, she's in her preteen glory.

Here's the most recent LO I've made.  I made it for blog hop by Design by Diana.  It's a great sketch..I hope everyone stop and wishes her a happy 3rd blogiversary.

Well I hope I'll be back before 2014.  :D
Love ya!!

Crafty Projects!

Well some people on facebook are trying to stress me out. They have put up their Christmas decorations and even started their Christmas Shopping. A couple people have even started counting down. Now because of all this madness. I've found myself doing Christmas projects with the girls. The problem is that I normally don't start anything until after Thanksgiving. I have my turkey then I start to think about Christmas.

The projects I've done are pretty fun and family friendly. We either do them together or the girls pick out the designs.


One of the easiest things we've done is make refrigerator magnets. I went to M's and bought little round magnets. We then glued them to different embellishments. The girls had a blast and we ran out of magnets in a matter of minutes. My favorites are the ones we glued to Sassafrass felties. These magnets will make great little Xmas presents for family members (except that apple is staying on my fridge).


Also we've been doing some chemical glass etching. I'm so in love with this technique. It's so easy and fun. There are tons of tutorials online.



Lastly here's a little project I made for Lexi. She's getting this for Xmas. :) I just hope she likes it.
I hope you all can get crafty soon. Also, have a fabulous Thanksgiving! :)

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!
