2 Beauty's

I figured I better go ahead and get most (or at least try to get most) of my Disney pics scrapped that were left before we went back. I would hate to be 2 trips behind :)
I ran across this one when i was searching and it cracked me up because we were on day 3 there and this particular day were we eating lunch at Cinderella's Castle. She still could not get over that she was able to meet all the princesses.

Do you have any older photos from past vacations that still need to be scrapped?

Happy Sunday!

A bit of Color Inspiration

I love looking at the 100 Layer Cake Blog for color inspiration among many other things. If you haven't bookmarked this blog I would highly recommend it.


(click to enlarge)




If you noticed I wanted a layer effect to the scallop border at the top of my pic so what i did was take my ole trusty sharpie and draw the lines inside the edge a bit and then draw the scallop on the outside of the border and it gives that illusion there are to of them that i layered when in fact it is only one...love that. see if you don't have two of soemthing then you just do it the "thrifty" way ;)



Happy Sunday!!

Here is a page I did using the Sold Out Sonoma County Kit.

and one I did using the Playdate Kit (Sold Out)

This was Mason's 1st day of Kindergarten...now he is goin in the 3rd grade...eeekkk... I'm trying to catch up :)

Last but not least if ya'll are still hanging with me... I saw a tutorial a long time ago on a purse made from a book and for whatever reason i remembered it. I cut out the pages of a Sue Grafton Book that I had double copies of and made this little purse for Melana...she thinks she is hot stuff now :)



After I took these pics I realized a few things needed fixing so I did that and also I know what not to do next time i make one. Which i am in the process of now because her little bff in the neighborhood wants one. We'll see if that one turns out a wee bit better in the inside...

I wish i had some football to watch :( instead i am drinking beer and eating lots of crawfish while soaking up some sun.

Happy Sunday!!

for my Paw Paw

We had a fun message board challenge going a few weeks back so I thought I would share my sketch with you if you are not a member of our rockin community.


For those that don't know I am a HUGE Saints Fan and I am very lucky I live in Saints Nation so for me this was bittersweet. This layout was very very emotional for me to scrap. Quite a few tears were shed during this scrap session ;) Many Many saints memories with my paw paw. I have a lot more i want to say so i will turn this into a 2 pager but the second page is going to be nothing but journaling.




i changed it to an 8.5x11 and turned it a bit...


(another one)

i'll have to get pics of her sister. My mom and dad bought the sister and she is all white except for a patch of black on her hind and one streak of black that looks like eyeliner extended from her eye. they named her Breesy (after Drew Brees; quarterback for the Saints).


That's all I got for now.
