A few more to share with you

Here are a few more I did this past weekend. 


First is from a pencilines sketch for a challenge at Scrapbook Challenges, (use the word happy with funny pictures of yourself)

Second is for my new challenge at Scrapbook Challenges- to use hidden journaling- and from a sketch at the Scrappiest.http://thescrappiest.blogspot.com/2011/03/sketch-112.html


And come back tomorrow for a blog hop with the Lucky Girls Craft team.  Inspiration will abound.

Two news ones to link up

I can't believe it has been nearly a week since I posted anything. But honestly last week was crazy for me.  I felt like I was going non-stop.  Then Friday I drove to PA to visit some scrappy friends and had a great time.  Seriously, best time I have had in a while. 

So here are two I did.  I will share the rest as the week goes on.

First up is Target Twins. (Bella had her friend over on Tuesday and the made me get them Bella's outfit so she could change and they could be twins. Sweet right?)   It is from a sketch at Pencilines, for a tic tac challenge at the Paper Variety  (layout, bird, scallops) and for a challenge at ACOT - to use a jingle (double the fun.)


Next is Grouchy Bear.  For a challenge at ACOT to use Cosmo Cricket.  I thought it was also for another one, but I guess I was wrong. 


Ok come back tomorrow and see some more of my creations.

two new ones for Scrapbook Challenges

I have two projects to share with you today.  The first is from my new challenge up at Scrapbook Challenges.  It is for our Spring Fling party.  It is to scrap something about Spring Showers.  I did one celebrating my oldest and her new umbrella.


Used Echo Park "Little Girl" on here.

For anyone who comes to SC and plays in my challenge you will be entered into win a very small RAK of Echo Park "For the Record" papers.  (basically three pieces of pp and a sheet of element stickers.)


Second layout to share is for sketch 246 at SC.  It is a photo of me and my parents and siblings on my wedding day,


And Pink Paislee on this one.

And there you go.

Two layouts to share and a prayer request

Good afternoon blog-o-sphere.  I am loving the time change, well now I do.  Took me a few days to adjust and I oversleep a couple of days.  But, now I am back.    And I have two pages to share, and a prayer request for those who are pray-a-ful people.

First is a layout for the Bo Bunny Layout Challenge Friday.

Used Bo Bunny on here of course.

My next page is from Creative Scrappers sketch 147.  These are friends of ours and the husband is having a procedure on Monday to remove a benign growth that is impeding his hearing and balance.    I am not get into it too much on such a public forum, but if you could send out prayers and positive thoughts for him and his family, it would be much appreciated.  And here it is,

Echo Park "For the Record" used here.

And there you are.  I will be back in a few days with some more to share.

XOXO- powerless day

The new challenge is up at XOXO Lipstick Chicks blog.    Remember the XOXO blog is a scraplift blog.  There are 15 chicks to scraplift from.  The sponsor this month is Candy Shoppe Designs.


And here is my page


I titled this "powerless day" because we spent 21 hours without power this winter.  It was fun and so not fun all at the same time.  Jonathan went in to work, so me and the girls had to spend the day bundled up and cuddling.  We sang songs, played games, and read books. 

So go check out challenge 17 and play along with us.
