2nd layout with sweet sue

Oh how I love sweet sue! I honestly wasn't too sure about all the brown, green and teals but it has turned out that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this kit....let me say that again, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this kit! There is so much goodness in it I have a hard time deciding what to actually use! Ha! I sat down this afternoon after Savannah rode her bike, jackson played in his walker and laid him down and scrapped another photo.  Wow! I had goodies everywhere! I am really excited about this layout! I was determined to ONLY use items in the kit and that is my goal....to use all items in the kit before the next one comes out and before I use anything in my stash! I seriously have a hoarding of scrapbooking supplies issue! Anyway...hope you enjoy and if I can ever figure out how to get my pages on the noel website I will I promise! Let me know what you all think!

I inked the edges of the border with a choc chip ink and I used the green stickles that came in the kit to go over the swirls on the metal sentiment!

I outlined the words family of with a brown sharpie to make them stand out!

LOVE that bookmark and these prima flowers!

Now in all seriousness, I have accounting statements, gilgamesh, reformation since 1660 and some computer applications calling my name! Back to work for me!

SWEET SUE KIT

OMGOSH! I got my kit from noel mignon on Monday and I have waited to play with it because of my over abundant college course work.  I took some time out last night and played for just a few minutes.  My layout is very simple and clean I think....it was late but I HAD to do something with it! Hopefully I will get more time in the next day or so! Enjoy!

P.S. if any you family members need a christmas idea....gc to noelmignon.com or a kit every month for a year would be FABULOUS!!!!!

Finally! Some scrappin!

WOW! Cannot believe it has been almost 2 months since my last blog post! Crazy...well my life has been crazy! We have been moving and trying to get settled and I've had jewelry shows and rally.  Not much time at home to get really settled in.  With that said, I worked all day today on our house so I rewarded myself tonight by scrapbooking some.  Two things have come to my attention: 1).  I do not really enjoy scrapping late at night.  2).  It is a challenge for me to scrap boys!  I have been scrapping for about 4 years now and it's been ALL girl.....what a change! I'm still not completely happy with jackson's layout but it's cute! :D

Catching up and moving

Wow didn't realize it's been almost a month since I posted a blog! Until my mom sent me a text this morning reminding me! Hahaha....sorry folks.  It's been crazy busy around here.  The kiddos and I packed up and spent last week with my grandparents.  We had so much fun...life is just simplier and quieter there....don't know why that is.  They just are hard working people and there's no time for junk....like tv, internet, shopping unless you actually NEED something.  It was great.  I did take my computer and answered a few emails but mostly I just enjoyed spending time with them as my grandpa is 80 and my grandma is 76 I think.  I should do that more often and they enjoyed the kiddos for sure. 

Last night we finished up savannah's tball.  She had her last game, no umpire and everyone batted every time.  The rules seemed to change every single game, glad we won't be part of that club next year.  She did really good though.  Afterwards we attended her team party where pizza was given to the kiddos, a cupcake and trophies!  Then we went back to the field for closing ceremonies where each childs name was announced and they were handed medals.  She was so excited over her awards! Lots of scrapping moments captured for sure!

We are also in the process of trying to move! Ugh! I HATE moving!  I tried doing some packing yesterday and that is more on my list today for sure.  The hubs is off today and tomorrow and he is up there and said he is going to try to finish up the painting today and hopefully they'll get the floors in...they had to rip out the carpet and replace with hardwood floors.  Anyway....enjoying some alone time....listening to cmt, one kid napping and the other is outside with grandpa! :)

Busy Times

Hey all! I don't have any pictures to share today.  It's been a crazy couple of days for sure! I have an album order I have got to get busy on! I have my own scrapping projects I want to work on, two small kiddos to take care of who seem to think they need to be fed on a regular basis! And my normal wifely duties. I intend to find some crafting time for sure today though! i hear lil man crying now...so I just wanted to share really quickly I have become a blog follower of samantha over at scrapmast paradise.  She is wonderful with her creating abilities! I LOVE her projects...she is a stampin up demonstrator...I'll add that link later!  Anyway she is having a design team call at scrapmaster paradise so check it out! :) I am way EXCITED to get to know her better and the others who are joining the forum! Have a great day and I gotta get my lil man before he thinks I ran away...which by the way is tempting! (hahah..just kidding.)

Mother's Day Bliss

Wow what a whirlwind few days! It has been crazy busy around here! I can finally post my mothers day projects since all the moms have their gifts! :)

Now for my mother's day gift!

Week in the Life 2010: Final Project

After finally getting my pictures yesterday I got to finish up my pages, pictures and embellishments today.  I did not do the same layout/book as the FABULOUS ali edwards but I took the idea and made it my own this time around.  Mainly b/c I have not had a lot of time to scrap lately so this was a great catapult to get me on board!  It got me thinking creatively and got me to use one of my monthly kits that I hadn't even opened yet! Ha! All I have to do now is put it in an album which I am fresh out of so that's next on my list hopefully tomorrow! Here are the pictures and I hope you all enjoy a glimpse into my life!

This is my first page which is not a particular day...just my family and about the project itself.
