Sonoma County Sneaks Part 1

Through out the next few days i will be uploading some sneaks from Noel's newest kit called Sonoma County.
This one will definitly go fast so I am giving ya'll the heads up in advance. I have received lots of emails stating that you can never get one because they go so fast. My suggestion is email noel and sign up for her newsletter. Her email is noel{at}noelmignon{dot}com and PRE-ORDER.









This kit goes up for pre-order on MARCH 15th and will ship on the 21st..

WOW..what a ride

This past friday i had melana's 6th birthday party...she wanted a sleepover.......well girls lemme tell ya.... IT WAS TOUGH to say the least... let's just say the next sleepover with multiple girls melana has is when she is hosting one for HER kids...

THE END!

Oh Brother..what have i got myself into

I think this whole party thing is going to be a wild ride...
Calling in reinforcements:

be back with a full report... Maybe...LOL

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

Happy Hump Day

Nothing much going on around here other than i have been scrapping my ass off and it feels sooooooooo good. It's all DT stuff that I will be sharing a little at a time in the next few weeks. Using Noel's FABULOUS kits

Here is one i have done using the sold out Seaside Cottage Kit:

I challenged myself to use only paper for this layout...didn't turn out to bad...

This one is using the sold out Paper Doll Kit from January

My friends lil cutie patootie...this child has so much personality.
I used a penicl lines sketch for this one to get the mojo flowing and ever since i scrapped this one a few weeks ago i have been on fiyah! Sometimes you just need that push.

Saturday i am looking forward to my sister and i hanging at my mom's for some Movies and popcorn in our pj's. Other than that life is quite boring.

The current challenge over here is well underway and it's a fun one.

here is my layout using the sold out paper doll kit for it



Another layout i did was Mason and Melana's First day of school. I know i am running behind...cripes! anyway i used the sold out core Cirriculam kit for this one




If you are wanting in on the pre sale of the new Seaside Cottage kit from noel she only has a few left for pre-order. They will ship out the end of this week. Get yours here
