Finally scrapping again!

It feels so good to be able to work at my scrap desk again!  Between working on the house, vacation and just catching up on stuff, I haven't touched anything.  I miss shopping and flipping through my pictures...

Speaking of pictures....8 days in Disney managed to produce hundreds of new pictures.  Not that that is a bad thing....I just have to sort through them all and decide what to print and scrap.

Anyway....

Here is a page I did for the Got Talent challenge #1 at My Scraps and More.  We were given a BINGO card and sketch to work with.

And I had a little bit of fun working on #18 for Let's Get Sketchy:

I'm loving this dragonfly accent piece!  I used some markers on it a little bit.  

And because I loved these bright colors from this challenge at Color Me Scrappy:

I pulled out some fun pictures from our ferris wheel ride at Navy Pier and put this together:

Sooo...since laundry is done...I'm going to work on sneaking a new page or two today....shhh....

Boys Rule - Part 2

I'm sneaking in....

We did a lot of work outside and I was able to whip up another page while hubby was on break.

Here is my second attempt at the May 11th Sketch from the Boys Rule Blog.

I love my baseball!  And I am so excited that this little guy is now 5 years old and all signed up for T-ball.  He started yesterday and he absolutely loves it!  How time flies....

Speaking of time flying...hubby is calling me...back to work!

Sunday Scrapping

Good Morning!!  I finally managed to squeeze in an hour or two to work on some scrapping fun!

Here is my page for the Got Talent Pre Challenge at My Scraps and More:

Along with a sketch for inspiration, the added challenge was to make it messy with some misting or paint.  I splattered some misting spray all over the background paper.  

My second page is for the 2nd sketch of the month at Boys Rule:

I used a FABULOUS kit from Echo Park - This and That.  I can't get enough of this one.

Time to get some work done outside....have a great Sunday!!

Authentique - Carefree

Happy Sunday Morning!  What a gorgeous morning!  I'm waiting for everyone else to wake up so we can get our day started....lots to do to get the backyard ready for Summer.

In the meantime....have you seen the newest collection from Authentique??  It's called Carefree and the colors are GORGEOUS!!

Here is this month's sketch from Authentique:

And here is my page using this beautiful kit:

Are these colors great or what??
I sure am giving my new flower punch a workout this weekend!

Have a great day!!!

Scrapping time!

I'm finally finding my mojo again...enough so that I can really start catching up on things.
AND...Ive been starting to "collect" a huge stash again, so it's time to start chipping away at it.
I really need to start using up more stickers...my PSB is going to explode!

Here is a fun sketch from Let's Get Sketchy:

and because I have so many fun beach pictures, I used a few fun one to make this:

and from Colorful Creations Sketchathon, here are a few sketches:

Can you tell I am now a HUGE fan of Tabitha Triplett sketches??!!  Holy cow!  they are all so amazing!  I'm having so much fun!!  

Rejoining civilization...

Good morning!  I feel like I lost a few weeks of my life!  I had some major dental issues going on.  I was so miserable for so long.  It turned out I had an infection and now I have to have 2 teeth pulled.  I made my appointment with the oral surgeon for next week....now I'm just trying to focus on everything else BUT what's going to happen.  The anxiety is making me even more miserable....but at least the pain is gone...for now.

To keep my mind occupied, I've been trying to work on some stuff.  It's a slow process because somewhere in all this mess, I lost my mojo.  Hopefully, I can find it soon!

Here are a few things I worked on yesterday and early this morning...that's what happens when I can't sleep...

This was my first attempt at using Glubers and some RicRac ribbon:

This was the color palette from Color Me Scrappy:

and this is what I came up with:

I used up lots of bits and pieces from Jillibean to put together a page for this month's sketch challenge:

And here is my page:

I flipped a sketch from the Boys Rule blog to get these pictures to work:

I used some mulberry paper, DIY Thickers and fine glitter for the title, and some plastic confetti pieces. Then I just "dotted" Stickles all over the page.

And here is my take on sketch #151 for Twisted Sketches:

My little guy just went back to sleep.  He's dealing with allergies, so he's not feeling too good.  But while he relaxes, it gives me more quiet time.  

Have a great day!!!
