My NEW favorite LO, and a NEW look!

I just had to share this LO that I made for the Road map to Scrap challenge at Scrap Matter! I LOVE how it turned out. This is a pic of my dad with the people (& dog) that he loves the most. Thanks to all 4 of you who voted in my poll! That makes me feel special! How do you like the new look?

Under Construction...

I know this blog looks REDICULOUS!!! I am working on it, with no success I might add. Anyway, hopefully it will be pretty soon!

((OPINION)) POLL

I NEED a NEW Look!

So, I am not digging the look of my blog anymore! So here is the question. Should I start going seasonal, or find another great kit I love and just re-do it? Keep in mind I already have 2 blogs that I keep seasonal. Vote on my poll!

A good Hybrid Project

I posted these on my family blog and thought I would post them here too! So, if you frequent both of them, please forgive the repeat!

So last week we had a little party for our primary class. I wanted to give them something and have them do a craft. I solved both problems with this great hybrid project. I made one for each of them. I did the girls with a little embellishment, but didn't want to go overboard on the boys. Here is some examples:


If you want to make one yourself, this is what I did. I got some wood from the wood connection and designed an image in PS and had them printed at costco. ( I put 6 on a page 12X18 for $3) Then we cut them out and had the kids modge-podge them on and then mosgepodged over the picture. After they dried I stapled a ribbon to the top and tied a bow over the staple so you couldn't see it. Viola! Way cute sign for anybody!

Neglected

Well, I tried to work form home this week, which definitely has its benefits. Carter is not used to be neglected. He is usually the center of attention at all times. While I was working he found a spool of ribbon (actually 2) that I had bought at the dollar store for some presents. He entertained himself for hours with that ribbon and we eventually cut it off him and his trucks! So I made a LO using a new kit from KandyKane Creations called Funk-e. Check it out here.

Saturday Special Challenge

I tried a new technique I learned at Scrap Matters for the Saturday Special Challenge. Check it out here. This is the LO I submitted for the challenge. I love how the photo turned out, bot so hot on the LO, but it works. I am just loving learning all this new stuff from the girls at ScrapMatters! I am going to work on some hybrid cards this week. I have a card exchange on Thursday and I want to WOW them with a hybrid card. Wish me luck!

I love Templates

So I participated in the Tuesday Template Challenge at where else...Scrap Matters!! This is the LO I came up with. The best part is that is took me longer to post it to all the gallery's/forums then it took for me to finish the layout. What do you think?

What have I been doing?

Well, I am still trying to do the Card Challenge at Scrap Matters. This is what I have done most recently:

This is my Week 4 Card. The idea is to print it out and then print out the squares and the tree again and really make it pop! I used tis the season by Rebecca Lynn for this card.

I Made this card for the Week 5 challenge. ( I used it in my primary lesson today. I had each kis pick someone that served them and write them a note. They were a BIG hit!)

Here it is printed out. When I make them again I will layer it! I used the kit Stella, by SuzieBell Designs: found at Scrap MAtters!!!

Then from this card I made this invitation for our class party. easy huh! I used School Rules from Kay Miller

I Can't Pass Up a Sale!

Here is a great one! Check it out!

Happy Digital Scrapbook Day!

I hope you all have your Halloween pics from yesterday ready to scrap today. I wish I could scrap all day, but alas, things to do people to see! I will get one LO done today though if it kills me! I challenge you to do the same!

Here is my most recent LO for Kandy Kane Creations. Click here to go to her store and check out her goodies... she has some exciting new kits in the works!!

Another Challenge

OK, so Scrapmatters is having a card challenge. You get a template for a card every week and then you make a hybrid card with it. At the end of the challenge we will have a great set of cards to keep or giveaway. Here is my first card. I used Kay Millers Cute as a Bug kit and made the glass jar myself!! (yeah me!) I also changed one of her elements to get it to say Heard you caught a bug. this would be a great get well card for anyone who is sick. Again, I would love to give this away, but copyright! Sad :( Hope it gives you some ides! enjoy!

Priorities

If you are still looking at this blog let me say, I love you! I am still here and digi-scrapping like crazy, just not for myself. I have also found myself adjusting my priorities and designing took a back burner for a while. It was my son's birthday and our anniversary. I am hoping to get back to designing soon as well as just getting some of my scrapbook pages done. I made this recipe card for a wedding I am going to this week. I am making a cookie basket with a rolling pin, cookie sheet, cookie cutter and this recipe card. I thought I would also throw in some cream of tarter since that is not a common ingredient to have. I wish I could give this away to you for your collection, but it would infringe on the TOU of the kit. I love this kit by SuzieBelle* Designs, it is called Stella. i recently did the QP exchange with this kit. I have used it several times since then. I would recommend that you jot down this recipe, this is from my Grandma. I have never been able to make them as good as her, but they are still super yummy. Enjoy!
