Happy Days!

Gotta love Girl's Night Out!

I lost count as to how many margaritas we enjoyed this night. Mary was reapplying her lipstick and gave me a smacker on the cheek and it was all giggles and goofiness from then on.

Here is sketch #6 from Artful Delight. I love this banner from My Mind's Eye chipboard. The fun drink paper is from Cloud 9. The tag is chipboard that was inked up. I printed out the text on the computer and outlined it with markers. The fun drink sticker is from Jolee's. :)

Off to the farm !! Have a great Saturday!!!

Let's Read

You should know by now that everything is a photo op for me. A few months ago, Target stores celebrated Reading Week by having Story Time for the kids while the parents shopped. Of course, I showed up with a fully charged camera. Wait till you see the rest of the pictures...lol.

This was what I came up with for sketch #10 for Artful Delight's 14 days of sketches.

All of the stickers are from the new line at Michael's. I wish they came out with a paper line for Dr. Suess! That would be pretty cool!

I really hope I can knock off a few more layouts today. The weather is looking really good and I want to get out....for more pictures of course!

Simply Wonderful

Here is a page I did for Scrapbook Daisies blog challenge #3.

I started out with a Bo Bunny scalloped circle. I've been dying to use it and never had just the right pictures to go with it. I think this proud peacock worked pretty well.

I tore the edges of a few pieces of mulberry paper for the layers and the photo mats. The fun titles are from Bo Bunny also. I wanted to add some feathers to the page too, but had to settle on mulberry. I just never seem to have the right color feathers when I need them. Do you see a shopping trip in my near future??

Creative Scrappers #155

I'm trying to catch up on some fun sketches from Creative Scrappers this month. I love what they have come up with month and I am hoping to get more pictures scrapped. I want to place another order but the hubster has been giving me funny looks. Because he sees the box I have that is filled with pictures and he doesn't understand the need for more. :)

Here is what I came up with for Sketch #155. I used up lots of scraps, lots of Stickles and lots of K&Company flowers. I love the metal butterflies too. This was a find at Michael's in the clearance section. As you can see from previous posts, I love the clearance section. :)

Feeling Tropical

I finally managed to get away from the "cold" pictures. Even though these were taken when it was cold out, I still get a good tropical feeling.

I used this week's sketch challenge from Stuck On U Sketches. I love all the circles. It also helped that I had them already cut from a previous project. This kit has been used to death and I still have more left. I think it's from Colorbok...there are no labels left.

The flowers were taken from a lei we had gotten from one of our vacations. And the bling on the flowers were all from Michael's dollar spot. The title was a piece from a K&Company set that I matted on green cardstock. All of the swirl bling was put together using various bling from the stash.

Now I need to stick with "warm" pictures! I feel better already!!

Snow Sculptures

Well, so much for me working with summer pictures to escape this yucky weather. This sketch from Scrapbook Daisies was calling me today. And the only pictures I had on hand that would work were snow pictures. Oh well....it was fun!

These papers are all old stash from Heidi Grace. The title is made from foam letters that I found on clearance a while ago. I added a little bit of blue Stickles to them to try to dress them up.

The big snowflakes are wooden accent pieces from Michael's. I love the glitter on these things, and since they were on clearance, I bought quite a few. The smaller embellishments are also from Michael's.

I'm glad to finally scrap these pictures, but I really need to get away from "cold" stuff....time for more coffee!

Fall Smiles

What happened to Spring??? It is so cold, windy and rainy outside. What a miserable weekend. The only benefit was that I was able to get lots of scrapping done.

Here is my Sunday start. This sketch is from Studio Calico. Love the multi-photos and the placement. Because of this awful weather, I pulled out the Fall pictures. ( I swear it could snow today!)

The color inspiration is this week's challenge from Off The Wall Craftiness. That middle swatch was really hard to match. Luckily, I had a kit from SEI - Granny's Kitchen. The color was perfect, I just had to work in the green. I used some leaves pulled off of some stems I had in the stash. I also added some jute here and there.

I really want to work on happy pages. I need to get out of this bad weather slump. I'm off to order some Spring pictures and to find some beach stuff to work on. Maybe that will help with the blahs....
