I have been playing over at Scrapbook Deals 4 U doing their Biggest Scrap Loser Challenge! this was week 3! I had a hard time with it! If I dont know what I want to scrap sometimes I OVER STRESS things.. So I just sat down with this photo that I took last summer at the beach... Oh I want to go back... anyway!! :) I was happy with how it turned out.. and I am gonna frame it I think for my scrappy space!! :)

















That is all I have for today!! I hope to scrap more next week! Well I will have another challenge.. so of course I will! Have a GREAT weekend! Thanks for stopping by!!!

Happy SNOWY! Sunday...

GRRRR yes I said SNOW! I am NOT happy! SIGH!! not really that it matters I am spending the day inside SCRAPPEN anyway! BUT still come on!!! Enough already!! hee hee! I am playing along on a cybercrop over at Fiskateers Today!!

I have got a few things done... first up is this.. Alter something!! I picked this





















and I altered it to This-















Next I made this LO, I need to work on side 2, but I havent printed the photos yet! it was to use HOME as a theme...





















For my next challenge you had to alter/create something to give as a gift! I made up this mini album for Amanda to put her photos in of Her and Marie (her American Girl dolly!) It was an EGGO box before this! I was able to get 2 mini albums from it!!





















that is all I have so far.. Off to TRY to do the next challenge.. using NO glue/adhesive! YIKES! Wish me luck!! :) Thanks for stopping by! Anyone want some SNOW?!!!!!!

Ok enough of that ~ here is the LO.. Amanda wanted a new do ~ so we braided her hair last night at bedtime then took it out this AM.. she was so excited, and it looked so cute!!! NOW she wants new Dos.. OFTEN! LOL! :)

I still have my Thank You card to share, BUT since they arent yet recieved.. BAD ME! I need to wait.. they are going out today .. probably tomorrow since it is so late.. SORRY DEAR SWEET FAMILY!! I am BEHIND!!! :) sigh.. anyway.. Hopefully next week I will have even more to share!!!

Oh you should see my scrappy space.. Amanda told me she was so proud of me.. well I had a nice dent in it.. never mind some was still in the hall.. but today I did the ONE ONE layout.. and it is a WRECK! You would think I scrapped 20 layouts! LOL!!!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a GREAT weekend! I think we are gonna go see Mall Cop with the kiddos!! It looks funny!!! They laugh just talking about it! HEE HEE!!
Happy Friday!

Happy Sunday!! :)

So you know what I did today.. NOTHING.. Ok we cleaned and I did some laundry.. I had big hopes of creating and I didnt! WHY I dont know! Steve sat on the couch and watched football ALL DAY.... I did go outside and take Amanda to the park.. and we played in the yard... so it wasnt a total uneventful day! Course now I want to go create something.. and it is almost time for the movie we are gonna watch! So I guess maybe TOMORROW will be creating day!!

I do have some goodies to share!! You all know I have a SAD SAD ADDICTION to Youtube well if you didnt you will realize it now, and over the next few shares.. I have got so many FUN ideas from THIS gal!! She has all her videos on her blog...but I found them at Youtube... so here are a couple things I made up this week! :)
This was made for my friend Amy's little Ms. Rachel! (Oh I altered a notebook for her too, and Amanda I will have to take a photo! :) ) You can find the video HERE
















I used my NEW bigshot to emboss the paper.. I LOVE that little machine! I got some fun new dies I cant wait to use too!!!

OK one more goodie I made AGAIN from Youtube this is for Amanda... shhhh gonna surprise her in her lunch next week! I think Justin will just want the candy..so that is what he will get.. maybe a little heart on top.. he is in 6th grade now I cant do those lovey dovey things in class for him.. SIGH! ok back to where I was going with this!!!














You can find the video for directions HERE I have a really hard time getting the smaller meaurements done for scoring like the 11/16ths etc.. so I did the 2 1/4 inch one then just wrapped the box and marked where I needed to score.. a bit easier for me!!

I have one more share! This was for a card sketch challenge at SD4U Here is my take on the challenge!


















That is about all I have got today!! Tomorrow is MLK day so there will be no school! I HOPE the sun is shining.. then we are going to go have a picnic.... :) The 1st offically of the year! :)
I guess Steve is going to get ice cream... hmmm I better treadmill! LOL!!
have a GREAT night! Thanks for stopping by!!!

A big BIG thanks to my mom for coming down friday to watch the kiddos so I could fly to Vegas for the night! and meet Steve who was there since Wednesday for CES! I have NEVER left the kids and just on a whim thought I would see if she was available! She was... and what a FUN 25 hours it was!!! Thought I would share some photos with ya!! :)

Now if your wondering.. YES the kids were upset with me! BUT do you want to see what made it alright....















yep sleeping in the tent! It was Amandas idea.. and she was so excited.. she still wasnt offically happy I was going, BUT she did think it would be fun to CAMP in the tent.. so after we got it up Thursday night.. she asked to camp that night.. I said NOPE! Gotta wait for tomorrow! I wanted them to have something to look forward to! other then a stiff back or 2, mom and Justin! they had a GREAT time... so great Amanda told Tutu , that Steve and I could leave again sometime! HA HA!!! Ok I may not wait 12 years for the next get away!!

THANKS MOM!!

So I had BIG plans to SCRAP today.. well Steve is home not feeling so swell.. which means I gotta look like I am BUSY and clean right! LOL! I do have a vision for some cards I am gonna work on!! I need to get off the computer and do that! :) and clean and fold clothes.. I will be scrappen this week! I got a new CK book and I want to try an idea from it.. :)
