You're Rad Me & You

Yeah, you are.

This post is actually about a couple of layouts I have completed over the last couple weeks.

The first one is of Trent from many years ago. I was cleaning up my desk and didn't want to throw out the scraps of paper so I turned it into a layout instead.

I added some newer product to the older product and came up with this:

There is some older BasicGrey, newer Cosmo Cricket, older MME and really old Heidi Swapp. I used Gelatos on the background. I scribbled with a few colors, placed a circle/dotted template over the scribbles and then used a water brush to blend it in. Circles from the template still formed even though I was brushing over the template.

Some of it was a little too bright so I used my old standby, gesso, to dull it back down.

This is pretty much all new stuff. New Crate Paper. Some misting in the background with Heidi Swapp templates and Chalkboard mist.

I filled up a tiny envelope with sequins, sealed it and then added loose sequins around the page.

Tammy at Blue Moon Scrapbooking gave me a push to get something done right away with this new stuff. I like it when I get assignments!

Hidden journaling is on a tag that pulls out from behind the doily.

That's all I have for right now. I'm having a difficult time functioning as I'm dealing with some emotional issues and a small health scare.

Some days it takes everything I have to just keep moving and making it through the day. My depression and anxiety dragons take over and it sometimes takes me a few days to squash them.

So, in other words, I really don't have anything fun or witty to talk about. I don't even have a new picture of my hot pink bra on my desk. You can look at my previous entry for that.

Take care and thanks for visiting and for your comments. :)

Pages from last month

I'm updating here with the pages I made last month and maybe in May...

Thanks for looking. :)

Nephew of the Year...October Afternoon, BasicGrey and a really old bread tag from who knows where. A Cherry on Top picked this up for Featured Layout. I was so excited!

Pride...Authentique and a tag I saved from Trent's hat we bought him just for this Boy Scout camping trip. I've mentioned before how I have problems throwing things out, here is just another example. Oh, and the chipboard stars are Technique Tuesday.

Misty Morning Ride...this is Glitz and Prima.

Lucky Me....another fine example of how I just can't throw shit away (or in this case, return). The red background is a Netflix return envelope. They printed them up special for Mother's Day and I knew I had to use it. By the way, I wonder where that movie I rented is hiding? Oops. There is a bunch of other old stuff on here like Studio Calico, Daisy D's (love, love, love), K&Co, 7gypsies, Foofala (can you believe it?) and I think Scenic Route.

Top Notch Friend...Cosmo Cricket, BasicGrey and really old Sassafras.

First Day...more BasicGrey (cuz you know I hoard that stuff), really old felt Fancy Pants (I hoard that, too) and a left over chipboard Technique Tuesday star that I didn't use on the Pride page above. This layout doesn't have ink smears, gesso or paint. It felt weird when I decided it was done.

I was going to add links to purchase the products I used, but I realized that everything I used (with the exception of the Cosmo) is over three weeks old (and in some cases over three years old) which means it is already old and out of style in "Scrapbook World".

Again, thanks again for looking and I'd love it if you left a comment. Anything. It would be even more awesome if you followed me. Or gave me a job. I'd take that, too.

Hambly

Oh, well. I applied for the Hambly Design Team. Didn't make it, but I'll keep chugging along here. They asked for an unseen project. Here is what I sent them:

Hambly, owl stamp is Technique Tuesday, alpha chipboard is Cosmo Cricket, a tiny touch of Lily Bee and the wings are old Fancy Pants. The heart is a negative space from a Cricut cut. Spray paint for the blue splatters.

Thanks for looking and thanks for your sweet comments.

an apple a day

Good morning everyone! It was my turn this week to host the challenge at Bitten By the Bug 2. I chose the apple core from the Preserves cart.

All the patterned papers are Cosmo Cricut.

Thanks for looking and thanks for your nice comments.

Racing Stripes

Trent is a toe walker. We thought he would eventually outgrow it but he never did. He started physical therapy in May 2009. It helped a lot and we thought we could continue his exercises at home. Well, that didn't work. He recently went back to physical therapy and is working again to get off those toes. In the picture, he's wearing tape on his calves to help him walk normally. The physical therapist called the tape his "racing stripes".

This is new Lily Bee papers. I'm a new fan of theirs. I just love the small patterns. There are Crate chipboard pieces on there as well. Oh, and I see a little Jillibean Soup peaking out from behind the journaling card (which is MME).

This is Ashley from a long, long time ago. Probably about 10 years ago. The problem is that after I scanned the layout, I spilled red wine all over it. *sigh* Now I have to do it again.

This is new Cosmo Cricket Salt Air

This is new BasicGrey Life of the Party. There are a few Fancy Pants rubons as well. I think the pictures are from LegoLand.

Thanks for looking. I'm feeling better these days. Thank you so much for all the well wishes and cards. They really worked!

Aloha

Peggy Loves Vintage is sponsoring Bitten By The Bug 2 this week. She has the cutest images! I love working with her stuff.

I used the leaves from last week's challenge. I was so inspired by the projects last week that I had to use them.

The patterned paper is Cosmo.

I HATE this outfit

I thought this outfit was cute when I bought it. I still think it's cute.

Katrina hated it. She refused to wear it to school or for any other time. She had such a temper tantrum over it, too. I asked her if I could at least take a picture of it before we gave it to Goodwill. This is what I got.

Free Sunday

No work today. Whew! It's nice to have a day off on a weekend.

We watched a couple movies today and now Erik is making hamburgers on the grill. Actually, he's making Juicy Lucys. I think it was a Man vs. Food episode where restaurants were putting cheese inside the burgers.

School started last Thursday. My youngest is now in Kindergarten. :(

Here are some layouts:

October Afternoon Ducks in a Row Katrina's teacher gave us this note the day before school started. I cried just reading it.

New Stuff and Favorites

If you're looking for the Blog Hop, it's in the post below.

Here's a layout I forgot to post from the stamp challenge I was hosting at Peek.

The challenge was to use stamps to make a border. I used Technique Tuesday Borderline Notions for the borders.

This is using the new Flair Fresh & Fabulous:

I cut the crown on my Cricut. The clear buttons have the Flair line underneath them with glitter on top. Old school. ;)

Now, here are my latest and favorite Cosmo layouts. ;)

That's it! Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to leave a comment in the post below for your chance to win a great set of stamps from Technique Tuesday.

Cinco de Mayo

It's hot today. I've had the fan on all day and it's not really helping. The kids are at Cub Scouts and I'm trying to catch up. Here are some layouts:

I did this as a challenge on NSD. It's in honor of Kiersten (who passed away last year from evil cancer). She loved the Beatles and the challenge was to make a layout with something Beatles inspired. The title is from a line in Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
