This is for last weeks CCG challenge and Scrapjacked challenge where we were inspired by LisaFisa.


i took a tip from my pal Rhi rhi and used up some paint chips i had been hoarding...aaahhhh yes the joys of hoarding stuff that you can get for free....

This is my card for the current SYC challenge. It's all about father's day this week.


and this challenge is for Noel's challenge called Summer Lovin'. How perfect?


Now i am off to work on more challenges and my Rock on ATC swap i am doing at SIS.
i need to make 29 of them by July 14th (i think) lord pray for me that i get them out in time so these girls don't put my head on the chopping block. You know I am late with everything when it comes to the dreaded post office. i would rather take an old fashion ass whoopin then to stand at that damn post office!! GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Peace out kids!

EEEEEEEKKKKK!!!!!

It's Summer Time girls

here in the deep south. Speaking of summer time...Don't know if you know about this challenge from Noel called Summer lovin' but it is a great one to get those summer pics scrapped. If you are like me it will be last summer's pics but whatever right? as long as they are scrapped. i will definitly be participating in this challenge AND the new kit she has called Cotton candy is to die for. Can you beleive how fat that kit is? 20 pieces of patterned paper ALONE... WHOA!! that is all i can say. That booger is fat and packed!

Where in the hell has this year gone? Seriously! Last month was January wasn't it?
It just hit me like a ton-o-bricks in 13 days i will be 31 and i am looking forward to it...mentally i am 21 though...hehehehe not sure if i will ever grow up and put the big girl panties on but i will try. I still cannot beleive it's june already though...YIKES!!!

I am so far behind on challenges since i decided to repaint and move my scrap room. I did manage to squeeze this bad boy out thanks to inspiration from Rhian and Faygie on SIS. this was a photoswap i signed up for on Treasured Scrapbooking with Erin one of the DT members. So she sent me this photo of her darling little munchkin who got caught playing in her paint. I thought this page was perfect for the arsty little one she is apparently raising so i went that route with it. I love how it turned out now i want to make one for myself.



I took the dive and signed up for the ROCK OUT ATC swap on SIS which i am excited about. This will be my very first ATC swap and of course i am most excited about getting the cd back with everyones songs on it that they jam out to in their car. Love everything each person and chosen. Gonna be a good jamming cd. So if you see a crazy person playing air guitar or using her cup as a microphone going down the street...pay no mind...it's only me...
My chosen song is: Nothin but a good time by none other than POISON!! yeah that's right...i know you couldn't have guessed that {eyeroll}. So i have an idea of what i am going to do i just hope it is not to time consuming otherwise i will have to go to plan B...which plan A will be way cooler....

that's really about all for me...i am just trying to stay cool cause it is hot as hell down here already and we aren't even into a good summer yet....BLECH!!

What my name means

I saw this on Karen's blog who got it from someone else's blog and well...you know how that goes...
So here is what my name means...now i have to say i agree with most everything...some things like the introvert or i am deeply philosophical... i don't agree with..but the rest is pretty right on...

What Greta Means

You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.
