Christmas layout

Update: TTS has all their patterned paper 70% off through the weekend...get it while you can!!

I have made this layout before. I asked my kids who wanted it in their scrapbook and they all wanted it...so I decided just to remake the layout so they could all have one. This one was made with Cosmo Cricket Oh Joy collection.

The sale ends on Monday!! (This is a local store for all of you who live near me).

Do you ever remake a layout to put in another book? I seem to do it alot. LOL.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

Winter Fun

I just uploaded a 2 page layout for TTS. I purchased everything but the date stamp from TTS. Sorry the pictures arent better, its overcast and Im having a hard time getting a good picture. The lettering is glittery and I put stickles on the snowflakes to make them glittery. This is from the other day when I took the kids sledding. I also used a sketch by Becky Fleck.

This is the first page

This is the second page.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Gift idea

It was upload day for TTS again. I made these little pockets to hold hot chocolate packets. These were really simple, just bazzill cardstock and some Bo Bunny paper (available at Treasures to Scrap). The thread I tied around it is crochet thread. Sorry its not the best pic...its snowing outside and I cant seem to get very good light. Hope youre all having a great day!

SEI layout

Heres a quick layout I made using the SEI smarty line. This was Tyler's 3rd grade field trip...it was lots of fun!

Countdown To Christmas

This is what I uploaded over at Treasures to Scrap today. I used Bazzill cardstock, Fancy Pants and Bo Bunny Paper...all purchased from TTS. There are links to all the products in my gallery post at TTS. I made my blocks out of cardstock, however, the tutorial I saw to make these used 3" wooden blocks. (Tutorial was by Giselle over at HSS-You have to be a registered member to view).

This was just to show how it was sitting in my entertainment center.

This view was to see some of the other numbers on the blocks.

Hope youre having a wonderful day!

Treasures to Scrap upload...SEI

SEI was the sponsor for Treasures to Scrap this month. I was lucky enough to get their halloween papers...Eerie Alley. They are so much fun to use. They have lots of embossed papers in their new collections. I also got an email today saying that these papers are on sale. Everything I used can be found here at SEI.

I found the pattern for these shoes on Ellen Hutsons blog. Fun huh?

Treasures to Scrap is going through a server change so its harder to get into the site while it switches. If you would like to get into the forums go here http://digistore.treasurestoscrap.com/MAINWEBSITEROOT/forums/index.php and to get into the gallery go here http://digistore.treasurestoscrap.com/MAINWEBSITEROOT/Gallery/showgallery.php?cat=522 This is a temporary fix until the site gets all transferred to the new server.

Thanks for stopping by!

My LSS is also an online store, it sells Scrapbook supplies at a 35% discount everyday! Check it out http://www.treasurestoscrap.com/.

Layouts

These first two layouts were made for the first assignment in the Simply Obsessed game for Sept. This was the assignment:

Your first class is English -- and what English class is complete without some good journaling? So get out your journaling book and write about one of the following prompts:

Here are the prompts (and school years can go from preschool to college, yours or your kids, just have fun!):

- Best memory of the school years

- Worst memory of the school years

- Things no one ever knew about me in school...

- First love

- Part time jobs

- If I could go back to high school...

- As a teen, I dreamed of...

- Biggest regret of those years

- Proudest moment

- Free writing (as long as it pertains to the school experience)

I used Scenic Route Appleton on these. Scenic Route alpha stickers. Making Memories tiny alpha sticker, and notebook paper. (Most of which is available at TTS. And TTS has everything 35% off everyday!) I also used a sketch from Becky Fleck's blog.

Ive decided that I need to use up some of my stash. While looking through my stash, I found the items used to make this layout, in a sack with the receipt from 2005!!! Its doodlebug paper and alphas, bazzill cardstock, and doodlebug brads.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday to Me

Today is my birthday. When you get older it seems like any other day. I subbed today and the boys have a Court of Honor for scouting tonight. Dh took me out for lunch which was nice. Yesterday I got my prize from the Cosmo Cricket contest at Treasures to Scrap. This is what I got! It was like Christmas! I was so excited! I think Ill purchase the blackboard alphas and shapes that match the kits. I cant wait to play with my new stuff!

Well, thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday Tyler!

Today is my youngest sons birthday. He turned 9. Hard to believe my baby is that old.

Tyler also earned his wolf in cub scouts today. This is him with his leader and cub master (the theme of pack meeting was magic)

We had a friend take our picture with Tyler, and unfortunately this is the only pic he took and I have my eyes closed. Oh well.

On another note, I won the Cosmo Cricket contest at Treasures to Scrap!!! WOO HOO!!! Im am very excited!
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Discount Paper Store

This is my LSS and they just happen to also be an online store. I just thought I would pass along the great deals they have everyday!

They also do kits (which are 35% off too). Starting in April, I am going to be making up some kits into layouts/projects to help show them off. They are uploaded on the 15th of every month. Be sure to check them out.

Snow Day!

Today is a snow day for us. They cancelled church today because of the snow. I cant remember the last time church or school was cancelled for snow. My kids are hoping for a snow day tomorrow.

This first picture is my front yard. Yes, my van is on my grass. We cant park on the street and have no where else to park LOL. My dh had already shoveled the driveway twice, but it was snowing so much that its still white.

This second picture is at my SILs house about 50 miles south of me. She is about 5'6" (to give you an idea of how much snow there really is).

On another note, I won a blog prize today from TTS! Woo Hoo! Im excited. All I had to do was leave a comment.

Tuesday is upload day for HSS again. I will share my upload as soon as I upload there. Be sure to check out all the DT uploads...they make some awesome, inspiring things.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
