A good trip with fond memories.

I'm back from my Thanksgiving trip to KY & have some fond, fond memories to scrap!! We had a wonderful time & the six cousins (all girls) had a great time too. I love trips like this.....time with my siblings, watching my girls interact with extended family, seeing my husband relax & enjoy himself, tons of laughs and memories to go with them. I'll probably be scrapping some of the pictures soon, as the memories are vivid & I want to get them down. Here's one I did tonight using the current sketch from Sketch This #35. The title comes from the fact there were 6 adults trying to get their picture taken by 2 seven-year olds. They had 3 cameras between the 2 of them & we kept telling them to take another, move here, move there, stand up, kneel down, show us the picture, take another................they were so glad to be done with the picture taking & my camera didn't manage to get 1 picture with all of us looking. BUT, it did capture the moment....us laughing at how ridulous the entire situation was & THAT's exactly what I want to remember.

I also did another Christmas card using a sketch from Sketch This Cards #33. I really need to get my card finished.

I hope you have a great Monday & thanks for stopping by!

CPS #40 & Thanksgiving

Enjoying the current CPS sketch this week & it's helping me get more Christmas cards finished. I've included my cards below.......the first 3 were based off their sketch. The Christmas cards are made using Making Memories Christmas papers from last year, but embellies from this year. I also used some PSX glitter glue on the last card with the flower. The mom card was made using my November kit from Story of My Own. I love the new October Afternoon papers & wish I had more.....lovin' both sides of them that I'm having a hard time deciding which papers to use & which to cut.

Pretty excited that we'll be leaving Wednesday morning for KY. This will be the first time in 17-years I've spent a holiday away from my mom & dad, but with my siblings (brother & sister). The house will be full of 6 girls, a 6-month boy & 6 adults.....packed to over-flowing, but loads of fun. I won't have computer access while I'm gone & will welcome the scrapping break to spend time with family. I hope everyone has a very blessed & safe Thanksgiving!!

Sketch This Card & new product!

Lookie at what I got in the mail yesterday!!! I was soooooooooooooooo excited I immediately made this card for the Sketch This Card current sketch. Sorry for the glare on the chipboard.....it's glossy.

I love it so much, I decided to make another one. This one was for 2 "technique" challenges at Card Studio Designs. I'm late in getting them done, but I had fun. Now, I just need to make a layout. I have more of it waiting for me to cut up!!

TFL!!!

Happy Happy Happy Day!!!

Yep, it's definitely a happy day for me:) I got "the" phone call from Scrapbooks Etc. this afternoon they wanted a layout I submitted for their "Make It Yours" call. I couldn't be happier. I've LOVED this magazine since their first issue & I'm never disappointed in this magazine.

Wow!!! That's all I have to say:) Have a great weekend everyone!!

I've been busy today:)

Yep, I guess I was wrong about not being productive today. I got 6 cards done & I'm getting ready to settle down for the night & do some more. I used sketches to help me & I was very surprised at how quickly I got them done. Anyhoo, here they are & they all go with the Thank You set I'm giving to Ashlyn's teacher for Christmas. That's why they're all made using the same supplies, which were supplied by Just Let Me Scrapbook. I'm hoping to get the other 9 done tonight. The first one was made using the current CPS #38 sketch.

One of my own designs. Not sure I'm liking it, but it's done.

The next 2 are Di Hickman sketches.

The current Sketch This Cards sketch

TFL!!!

Latest Card

Have you ever completed a project & it just wasn't what you envisioned. I mean, NOTHING like you envisioned? Here's my latest card creation & that's what happened with this one. I used a sketch from Card Studio Designs & incorporated the latest "sewing" challenge from Caardvarks. I'm gonna have to do a new one............*sigh*

My brain is also on overload. This morning I was reading Cathy Z's blog & she made such a cute mini album. It inspired me to dig out some of my Maya Road albums I've been collecting. In the process, I found a drawer FULL of Christmas embellies. I intentionally put them in this drawer so I would have all my Christmas embellies in one spot, but do you think I remembered that? Of course not...................so, with my Spidey senses tingling from my newfound treasures, I immediately cleaned my scrapspace so I could get to work on some projects. In the process, I stumbled across other projects I haven't finished & really should finish first. So, who wants to bet I don't get much accomplished today? Ya......................major-brain-overload!!!!!

We are thankful!!!!

Busy weekend........................

We had a very busy weekend, but it was fun. Our local Arts Festival was held downtown & the dance team Ashlyn is on, danced four times between Saturday & Sunday. Even Camryn's class did a dance, but I wouldn't call standing there with your fingers in your mouth dancing. Yep, sweet little Camryn wouldn't dance, but I wasn't surprised. I didn't think she was going to. Ashlyn did great & she had a blast spending an entire weekend with all her girlfriends on the dance team. She's thoroughly enjoying herself. Here's a picture of Ashlyn & her best friend Corrin, and a picture of Camryn with her "boyfriend," Alan, who is also Corrin's younger brother. Ain't they sweet!!

I did manage to get another Christmas card completed. Taking advantage of card sketches to help me get them done sooner then later. This card was completed using one of Sketch This Cards sketches. Using this paper by KI Memories made the sketch even easier.

TFL & have a Happy Monday!
