Hobby Day 5 Smash

Well this challenge was a no brainer, lol. Hobby was a pretty easy page to do, since I enjoy paper crafts for my hobby I covered the 4 that I enjoy with these 2 pages

As I've been going page by page in this particular smash book, I couldn't have asked for a better page for this theme. I enjoy Scrapbooking (traditonal and digital), Cardmaking and Smashing and they are all included in this layout. It was done in a smashbook (got that covered!), the top left portion of the page shows the very first digital scrapbook layout I did and now it's a hybrid scrap with adding some traditional scrapping included. The bottom left includes a card that I did in a class learning a new technique of resist embossing (which was so cool to learn).
The right side page, I enhanced the page with words of my guilty pleasures of my hobby of paper crafts, one I enjoy doing each day a little something with crafting. It was a really fun page to do. Looking forward to sharing with you all 2 pages I have been researching a bit to do the pages (a quirk to my personality to research before I do it)
Now I have another paper craft that I enjoy, Project Life and can't wait to share with you what I have been doing with that.
Thanks for stopping by today and seeing the view from my little corner of the world....

Favorite Place Day 4 Smash

Hi you all and Happy St. Patricks day to you! Were having our 2nd annual Easter Egg Hunt today, love spending time with the grand kids!
Today I thought I would bring another one of my loves: My scraproom. The favorite place day 4 smash challenge was so easy, my favorite room in the house is where I can go relax and create anything my mind can think of.

This page was created May 12, 2012 and the pictures were of the current state of the room. But the page tells it all, a place to get cheap thrills and lots of fun, where I can inspire, dream and create, this is my happy place and my favorite place. I used a variety of elements in the page stickers, chipboard letters, ribbon, washi tape and some journaling.
Do you have that favorite place you like to go, your own happy place. I hope you do and thanks for stopping by and actually seeing my little corner of the world, have a great day!

Hi all and welcome to my blog. I hope your enjoying the hop today. Dick Clark was an influence in my life and the show American Bandstand was a huge part of life. This was the go to spot on Saturdays at home or a friends house we made time to be in front of the TV for this show. This is where I learned to dance and kepted up with the latest dances, rate the record was a cool spot on the show after seeing it here and if I liked it then I was downtown to the local store getting the 45. Yep life without bandstand is unimagineable for me it rocked my world!

A SMASH*aholics Challenge

There is a challenge that I'm getting into with the facebook group SMASH*aholics
it's a 30 day challenge but you can do whichever day when you want and in no particuliar order. Also I'll be working on another challenge in a yahoo group that I belong with too and some of the layouts/pages that I do I should be able to mix together. It's gonna be a busy summer I think but I may get alot of scraping/smashing done in the process. Here is the first page I got done for the challenge so far. Day 2-Washi Tape:

 

 

Bathtime for the boys! They tolerate it. But once in awhile if they come across the wrong thing they will beat me going up the steps to get a bath! I thought this would be a good one for this challenge and I used it for another challenge on another FB group for a page about pets. 

Below is a pic of the challenge and my frame of mind is to complete the challenge but it may take all summer to do it, LOL

 Thanks for joining me today and I look forward to seeing what you may be smashing if you leave a comment and a blogspot I'll come take a look. Have a fantastic day and stay cool if you can.....
