•Scrappy, scrappy!

Happy Monday morning everybody!

Earlier this week, I submitted for the Unity Scrapbook Design Team! I am still waiting to see if I made it or not, but thought I'd share one of the layouts I did for my submission!First off, I'm going to explain the title, "Where Are Whoo?" The DP I used is Sassafrass Lass and it has an owl theme, so that is where the "whoo" instead of "you" came from. I showed my mom the LO and she asked me about that and so did Kolby when I showed him, so I figured I'd start off by explaining that! :D As for the rest of the LO. The arrow and the journaling card (in the pocket) you see is from Unity's Our Life, Our Stories scrapbooking kit and the tree is from the November Kit of the Month! I colored it with Copics and stamped it on Papertrey Ink's Stamper's Select White CS. I stamped the arrow using Riding Hood Red ink and stamped it on Buttercup CS. I stamped the journaling card in Chocolate Chip ink and it is also stamped on Buttercup CS. I also stamped the Worn Grid Background you see behind the photo onto Buttercup CS and stamped it in Chocolate Chip. I used Chocolate Chip CS for the pocket and Ocean CS for the title! The ribbon you see on the White Daisy Eyelet is from Wal-Mart!

The other LO I used for submission can be seen HERE.

So my next LO is one I did over the weekend. I've been feeling pretty scrappy lately if you can't tell! :D
For this page, I used Sassafrass Lass' Serendipity Paper Packet! I also used this week's sketch from Triple the Sketch! (with a few minor adjustments of my own :D) The base of the page is Kraft CS, I used Unity's Giggle Grove set for the trees at the bottom of the page and the journaling box is from Unity's Sept. Kit of the Month! The journaling reads: "you love going and seeing your Uncle Jarret and Uncle Kyler. You are always so happy and playful when you are with them and they love you so much!" The ric-rac you see is CTMH and you can't tell in the picture, but I stitched on the upper right and lower left hand corners of the page and the pictures!

So that is all I have for now. I have a busy week, as I'm sure most of you do, so I'm not sure how much more I will be posting! But I will be sure and post pictures from Christmas if I don't post before then!

• Please do!


....Wake me when it's Christmas, that is! I am so ready for Christmas, but soooo tired! So, please, just wake me when it gets here! :D

As you can tell, I finally made it down to my stamp room! And I FINALLY got to ink up a stamp set from My Favorite Things! Isn't it so cute?! The stamp set is called Merry Christmas and I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I used DP from SU!'s Frosty Day packet! I used Ripe Avocado, Chocolate Chip, and Tangerine Tango Cs. The image is stamped on PTI Stamper's Select White! I ran the base through the Textile Texture Embossing Folder and mounted the images with Dimensional Adhesives!

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! Have a great rest of the weekend! Monday I will be gone for a doctor's appointment! I will post ultrasound pics of the little peanut when I get back!

• I know! Where have I been?


Not stamping! That is for sure! And it's driving me cu-razy!

So, obviously I have absolutely nothing to share with you guys, but I just wanted you to know I am still kickin'! :D

If, like me, you are totally in the Christmas baking spirit, go check out my girl, Bakerella! She has some Christmas-y things going on her blog! I think I'm going to give her little ideas a shot!

Have a great rest of your Friday and a great weekend! I think I'm going to get to do some stamping tomorrow, so definitely be watching out for it! ~toodles!~

• I can't keep a secret......


HEY THERE!

So, many of you have probably been wondering where the heck I've been? I've been kinda busy with Thanksgiving and catching up on a huge swap. Plus, I'VE BEEN FIGHTING MORNING SICKNESS! Yes, you read right.....last week I found out I am prego. I wasn't going to say anything until I went to the doctor and got my first ultrasound, but I am lame at keeping secrets. So I think I'm around 5 weeks, but my morning sickness just started and it is lasting through the afternoon, not to mention I am exhausted....I thought that part didn't start until waaaay later on? I have to tell you the truth, though. I'm not real excited, yet. I don't know why? It's not that I don't want another kid, but I didn't think it would happen so quickly...... so, obviously it was a huge surprise! Maybe after I go to my first appt. I will be more excited........

Well I do have some stuff to post, but somehow my camera got left on over the weekend, so I have no charged battery, yet.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Mine was ok. I probably gained around 2o pounds, but the food was well worth it! ;)
