Project Runway Challenge anyone?

The current challenge at
Noel's is inspired by my love of Project Runway! I cannot get enough of this show. EVERY show is so inspiring i could really do a whole mini dedicated to each challenge they issue weekly (hey that is a thought) i just myight have to do this..anywhoo...

head over and check it out this is my take:


(using the sold out paper doll kit from Noel

My layout really is based on a the fact that i sew (obviously) and my paper doll was my "model" just like the designers have to present their designs down the runway.
My journaling is on the back of my layout just like most of the layouts i do. Sometimes i put the journaling on the front and sometimes i put it on the back.

So head over and check it out. If you participate let me know so i can see what you did.

Proud mama Moment

Mason is like Melana he loves to draw, color, paint anything artsy however he doesn't do it as often as her. Melana will fill up a sketch pad in 2 days with drawings of all sorts of things. Mason not so much. Well for her birthday from my aunt she received some paints and watercolor stuff along with some of her own brushes and so on....last night these 2 were going to town with there art. i walked over to the table and i said Mason what are you drawing buddy he said oh this is my version of Starry Night. First I was looking at him like he was silly because of the fact that 1) he knew about Starry Night 2) how does he know about Van Gogh. It's not like i can afford any of those paintings...lol and 3) his version is amazing for being 8.


Mason's Version

Van Gogh's Painting.

So he tells me a bit about Van Gogh and asked me who was my favorite and i said as a matter of fact i really dig Van Gogh's work and named a few others that is eye candy for me.

Happy Hump Day!

Busy Little Bee with Noel's kits

Who the hell wants 23652569 rewards cards hanging from your key ring? NOT ME...so i decided this was way cuter and it hangs from my purse strap instead on the inside.


Noel sponsored a new sketch site called Sketch Inspiration and we were lucky enought to get to work with the current sketch. Orinignally i wanted to have some flurishes so in the (sold out) seaside cottage kit we got some bling...i cut it apart and noticed it would make a cute butterfly so i went that route instead and used the left over bling on the bottom left corner of my photo...

and if you can't tell here lately i am TOTALLY DIGGING spraying up my pages...EEEKKKK!!! fun fun

and for your eye pleasure...a few more sneaks from the Sonoma County Kit

Lean on Me challenge

The new challenge up at here.

I had a blast with this one...here is my layout for it
using the sold out Seaside Cottage kit from her store.

If you don't subscriber to the layout blog or the challenge blog you are missing out on some serious inspiration. Go..hurry...now sign up ;)

This layout was also made with the Seaside Cottage kit. I did this for Deb over at Say It With Letters. This is a pic of her twins...aren't they the cutest. It was a breath of fresh air to scrap someone else's kids and photos and i thought this kit was perfect for it.
Thanks Deb for letting me scrap them :)



I'll be back with more later this week. If i am quite it is because I am planning and preparing (mentally and physically) for 8 little screaming girls to come stay over friday night for Melana's 6th Birthday... GASP!! yes she is 6 already.... {shaking head}

Wish me Luck
