Quick Page Share

I've spent several nights this week scrapping with Telah. We hook up on Skype and chat the night away while we scrap. Here are 2 of the pages I got done.
For my title on this one I used a cool little technique I learned over at 52 sketches 52 weeks. I took some older mismatched chipboard letters, peeled the original top layer off (the letters were different colors), and stamped and glittered the raw chipboard.
Love this little tip and it's a good way to stretch your leftover alphas.

For this second one I used a sketch from over at Dixie Pieces. I punched circles out of the blue polka dot paper and backed them with the grid paper. I then used rubons and stamps to decorate inside the circles.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend!

A Couple of Pages

For the past few months I just haven't been in the mood for much scrapbooking. I've gotten my Scrapbook Sussie layouts done but that's about it. Well I finally have come out of that slump! I've gotten a couple of pages done over the last few days.

This one if for a contest over at Scrap-Friendzy. We were supposed to do a vintage/shabby layout.



And then this one is from a sketch over at Dixie Pieces. They are giving away a Guest DT spot for September to one lucky person who completes the July challenges. For every challenge you do you get your name in the drawing. Think you'd like to be a guest designer? Then head over and try out some of the challenges!
I've been doing some major clean out of my scrap space and will be having a scrappy giveaway on here soon, so stay tuned!

I also am still trying to blog every day this month (yes I know I missed yesterday), so if anybody out there reading has any questions or any suggestions for what you'd like to see leave me a comment!!

Good Monday Morning!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and a Happy Father's Day with family!
Today is my day to post over on the Sussie Blog and I've issued a challenge. If you scrapbook, be sure to head over to the blog and check it out. Here is my example layout but you'll have to head over there for the details!

Challenges and a Personal Note

Here's my sweet Valentine baby. That is a whole lot of red! My best friend from High School was here in town this past week and she has a new baby too. Her baby Elizabeth is about 7 weeks younger than Natalie. We went to visit them briefly on Friday and then spent a little more time with them Saturday. In the picture above, I'm holding Elizabeth and she's holding Natalie, just in case you were thinking Natalie shrunk and looked different. LOL It really hits home how much she's grown when I held a baby 2 months younger than her.

Originally I had Natalie dressed in this Valentine outfit on Saturday before we left the house. I took some pictures as soon as I got her dressed and it's a good thing because she decided to poop all over it before we got out the door. I'm not a big fan of Huggies.. they just don't hold it all in... maybe more info than you wanted to know, but if you happen to be expecting a baby, that's useful information! :) Pampers are my diaper of choice. Enough about poop.. here are two layouts I did tonight. The 3week old one is for a challenge over on 2peas and the Halloween one is for pencillines.
Lastly on a personal note.. my mom is having some health issues and is going to have to have surgery in a few days. She's suffered a couple of mini strokes and they've finally found the cause. She has a hole in her heart that needs to be repaired. Your thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated. The good news is that once they fix this, it should solve a lot of the problems she's been having.

I'm off to bed.. gotta quit staying up so late, but I just have so much scrappin I want to do!
