Merry Christmas with Mickey

Everyone is at a meeting so I'm sneaking in some blog updates...

Here is my take on the sketch from Sketch N Scrap #190:

I had to move my photos around to make them fit...lol. 

Here is the original sketch:

Did you notice the hidden Mickeys??

My Own Batmobile

Hello again!

Knocking out a few more pages before the festivities begin!

Here is my take on the Superhero challenge from Scrap the Boys:

I finally pulled out the stack of pics from my little guy's 5th birthday party ...he's 12 now...lol.

Without challenges like this, I probably would not work on pics like this until he is college!

I added some Batman stickers, chipboard alphas, fibers and a button.  

The background was solid gray and I swiped a paint dauber across so it wasn't so...solid...lol.

I guess I should start waking everyone up now.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Father's Speech

Happy Sunday morning!
It's a beautiful sunny day and I'm looking forward to getting pages done and being able to take pictures of them all with natural sunlight.  They really make the pages pop.

Here is this morning's page:

Lots of random ribbons and some pearls.

The tags I found in the party section at Joann's.  They just happen to be the perfect colors.

I chose to use the left side of the "Choose your side" challenge from Scrap Our Stash:

Off to enjoy this sunny morning!

To Us..

Okay, so I'm not getting any laundry done...but I'm getting pages done!  so it's still a productive day!

Here is a multi photo page:

I used Misting Spray on the background.  This beautiful ribbon I found at Michael's.  I used a circle stencil and some black ink under the ribbon.  I slipped some flowers underneath the photos and added some black glitter swirl chipboard.

Here is the sketch I used from Sketches in Thyme #398:

Family means love

Good morning!   It's a cold day here today and it will be another long one doing laundry and other chores....all while slipping in a page here and there.

Here is what started off my day:

Sticking to getting the wedding pictures done, I chose an outdoor picture.

The challenge this month from Lemon Craft was to use a "purple" theme.  

I had these gorgeous papers from Ciao Bella to work with.  

I fussy cut some of the flowers and used pop dots to bring out some dimension.

The color purple was a subtle add with the purple flowers.

The sketch that got me started was this fun one from My Creative Sketchbook.

Hoping to get lots done today!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

With this ring...

Last one for tonight.  This will be #8 for the day.  Which is awesome considering I was still able to get lots of house cleaning done too!

I used this sketch from Sketches in Thyme #396:

I chose to use some bling as the circle instead of my usual go-to which would have been a doily.

I love this glitter swirl ribbon I just recently bought from Joanns!  So pretty!

Off to get some sleep.  I will have a couple of hours tomorrow to work on more before the fam gets back from camp.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Party Cruise

So I'm going thru my blog and I see this challenge from Scrap the Girls - The Hangover.

I'm not a big drinker but I feel like when I do get the opportunity, I kinda make up for lost time...lol.

The word "hangover" just reminded me of the last one I had.  We went on a party cruise with my husbands co-workers.  After dinner, there was a LOT of dancing and a LOT of wine.  I had a FANTASTIC time that night!!  The next day and a half...not so much...

What a great night with a great group of friends!

This doesn't not happen often enough!

This is perfect for the "friends" challenge from Challenge Yourself:

That's me in the green dress.

I'm so glad there are no pictures of me the next morning!
