Thanks Dad!

My dear father-in-law Greg is kind enough to scan in my scrap pages for me, so he just finished with the last batch... it was so cute when he asked if he was all caught up or if I had since made more pages...sorry Dad there will always be more!! (And yes I am going to get some done with you in them - I'm thinking we need to recruit Dawn for some family pictures... Jeff and I haven't done them since you last took them)

Here's a sample of a few...

Been Scrapping a little

So I have gotten a few pages done over the last couple weeks. I used some of my loot from my prize.


Lucky Me with my sis and Holdan

This one cracks me up, just because Burt and Chimmy are brothers from different mothers and not really friends, this is a rare occasion that Jeff caught on camera of them snuggling about a week after we adopted Chimmy, it really hasn't happened since then... maybe I need to change the title to Part time friends....hmmm

I am going to be working on a special project for Camp Staley in honor of Grandpa Staley, who recently left the good earth to join our Father in heaven. Love you grandpa!

The Loot!

My box of goodies AKA my fabulous prize arrived on Thursday, before the holiday weekend, so I haven't had the chance to do anything with it yet, but I had a great weekend with my family and my little Holdie Bear so I have lots of pics to get printed and I'm sure I will be able to put it to good use.

Tada!! Paper, an album, rub-ons, stickers, bling, journaling pads and spots, a tearing ruler and a few others I'm forgetting to mention. Super fun!

Creative Rut

Well I haven't posted anything in a while because I just haven't had time to do much lately, but hoping a visit and lots of pictures of my sweet nephew will get me going next week. I have some cards to make, more knitting to do, scrapbooking and some shopping I'm sure.

Stay tuned for some fun stuff!

P.S. Just got word that my "fabulous" prize is being shipped out today so I will have some pics of all my winnings as soon as it gets here!

Sweet - I won!

So...sometimes I enter a contest, just on the off chance I might win and today I got a message saying that I did indeed win! I was so excited I forgot to ask what I won, but it is a "fabulous prize" according to the Creating Keepsakes website and hopefully it will be arriving on my doorstep soon.

Here's what I did to win...they had a little contest to put one of your layouts on one of their magazine covers. Here's what I posted...

A layout I did of miss Lillian - She's so cute!


I also got my new scissors, tape refill, and new cutting mat that I ordered today...double scrap happiness and tomorrow I get spend some time with my mom helping her work on some of her books. It's going to be a great weekend!

Armed and Crafty

So I have all this fabric and I have been trying find an easy and fun way to use some of it up. I found a tutorial online at the American Crafts Dear Lizzy site to make rolled flowers so I grabbed my glue gun and got to work.


Here's the link the video with the easy how to: http://americancrafts.typepad.com/studio/2010/04/dear-lizzy-fabric-flower-video.html
