Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope if you are going out with your lil ghosts and goblins you are safe! We have a play, fall party and then trunk or treating today and then we have to rush to get to church on time. I do NOT like the town celebrating on a Wednesday night. Sorry. It's true. DO. NOT. LIKE. Anyway we will have lots of fun really quick today!

Anyway wanted to share a layout I created following Julie's sketch HERE and here is my take:

What GREAT inspiration Julie! Thank you soooo much for your monthly sketches! I just LOVE them!!!! :D

And I used the October Kit from Scrapbook Addiction!!!! LOVE it! It's not the normal October kit and I LOVE that!!!!! :D

Have a safe day!!!!!

Happy Friday Night

Happy Friday! It's been a good day here! Busy, but good! Sorry for the delay in posts but the fall season at my house is H-E-C-T-I-C....I have some layouts I need to share and a few other projects-maybe I'll have time tomorrow or Sunday to get them uploaded. I will work on it I promise! Until then I was able to corral my family together for some family pictures.....they hate when I want family pictures but they did manage to all get dressed and smile for the most part!

I took them all....and the ones I'm in I set the camera, posed everyone and told my friend...."SHOOT!" LOL.....Hope you enjoy some fun new photos of my little family and I have already scrapped a few....hoping to post soon! Right now I'm trying to finish up with fall parties and bonfires and soccer :)

Happy World Card Making Day!

Bet you didn't know there was a holiday for making cards did you? Of course you did b/c you are all paper crafters! We celebrate everything!!!! :D Isn't it GREAT! I don't have any cards right now to share and we are about to head out to soccer games and grandparent visits but tonight maybe I can make some and then I will share them tomorrow! Make sure to check all the blogs I follow b/c LOTS of them are doing blog hops and giveaways! I will share some layouts I did for the Back to School Crop a few weeks ago over at Noel and have you all discovered Cassie!!!! Oh my word! LOVE LOVE LOVE her shop!!!! Go by and do some shopping today!!!!

This was for the Chemistry class to make our own background with mists.....:)

This is a file folder by Heidi Swapp and I am using it to house all the special papers from Savannah's first grade year! LOVE this idea! 

This was done before the crop and I was testing out that new punch! 

And this one I was just playing with a sketch and I love how it turned out too! 

Have a GREAT Saturday and go make some cards! 

WooHoo It's Friday!

Yay! We made it through this week and my week has been CRAZY! Come to think of it what week isn't crazy? LOL.....

Happy Wednesday

It's beginning to look a lot like fall! I'm soooooooooooo HAPPY about this! LOVE this time of year. I love cozy sweats, big sweaters, boots, fires, mulled cider smells....and YUMMY comfort food! What do you enjoy about this time of year? It's one of my absolute favorites!

I have been participating over at the Noel Mignon Back to School Crop! It's so much fun! YOU should come and join us! I know today is not Tuesdays with Noel kits but I really meant to get this up yesterday but between my Army Wives marathon I was having, taking care of mr little and teacher conferences it was kinda hard to blog! LOL......

So needless to say, no different than when I was actually IN school I'm procrastinating because the only layout I have finished is from the very first class they had over there! Which was Beginning Band with Leslie Ashe! I LOVE her! She is so amazingly talented and I LIVE to see what she creates! I scrapped almost exactly like she did......and I LOVED the outcome. I got messy, I layered and I just had super fun! I plan to start trying to change my mindset when digging into my creativity to produce more like this one:

Tuesdays with NoelMignon kit layouts

So technically it's Tuesday still....even though I typically try to do my blog posts in the morning times. But I'm hoping this week to get back to our

REGULARLY SCHEDULED BLOG CASTS!

It's been a crazy few months around here. First we're moving across the country, so I start packing....and then we're not so then I have to unpack and my house has been a complete mess ever since. My hubby and I FINALLY got our house back in order this past week, then we had a long weekend which I took most of that time to just relax with my family and be in the moment! In the meantime this past week I did manage to get some layouts done! One is top secret b/c I'm participating in Noel's layout tag for fall! So much fun! It's like playing telephone, remember that when you were little, only with scrapbooking layouts! It's FAB!

Anyway, here is a layout I CAN share:

I participated in the August sketch challenge by Julie Bonner found here! You should too!

I also used the beautiful August West Coast Kit which is all sold out...but....psssstttt....NOEL MADE A LIMITED EDITION that is VERY similar and she only has a few!!!!!! HURRY!!!!! 

Hope you guys have a wonderful Tuesday night, I'm hoping to get the littlest to bed ASAP and get some creating done! 

Insta-Friday

WOW! Summer is coming to an end! So sad. It's been a crazy and busy summer....N O T H I N G like I had planned. Visions of my summer included daily swimming and the occasional nap and snack in between. THAT'S IT. Not at all that way. It's the same thing I tried for last summer that didn't happen so I guess I will try again next summer. Eventually....eventually I will get there! Anyway-today I'm linking up with life rearranged for insta fridays! Here is a recap from our week

I took the littles for a picnic at the park and they loved it! 

I went shopping with one of my besties on Saturday! Had so much fun! LOVE her! 

We got FREE starbucks! It was well worth the drive to get! So yummy!

I found this HUGE box of poptarts that at first I thought was a GIANT pop tart....but its just a GIANT box of 48 pop tarts. What a bummer b/c it would be really cool to actually have a GIANT pop tart. 

We went to the part for some fun play time with friends.....

they refused to stop for a picture....don't they know me by now?

\

They did manage to talk Tabb into getting on the merry go round.....it was GREAT!

Child training bible! I'm slowly working on this......will be so good for all of us!

We went to open house.  Savannah LOVES her teacher and she keeps asking me how many days until school starts. I think she is ready! 

Jackson found a Buzz book in the reading nook. 

And Savannah made herself at home in her new classroom! 

What was your week like? Link up and tell us all about it......
