my last NAS and my Scrap it with a Song page.

Here is my last layout for NAS, it has been a great term and Shawn is wonderful to work with. Here is the sketch

And my page

And this weeks song at Scrap it with a Song is "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder. I decided to use this picture of Jon and Bella when she was a few days old. I love this picture of them- not so much the layout though, will probably print out another picture and re-do it at some point. I remember this day very well. She was less than a week old and we were trying to get her birth announcement photos before she got her first set of casts. (she was born with bi-lateral clubfeet and we use the ponseti method of treatment, which included 9 weeks of hip to toe casts, and she got her first set of casts at 8 days old.) Anyway, here is my page

This week we are being sponsored by Crafty Ribbons!!!


They have offered up to the winner the most awesome of goodie packages....their entire Velvet Bling ribbon collection. There are 20 jewel colored 10mm woven velvet ribbons that are heavily glittered with a fabulous bling that won't fall off!!!

So if you want to play along please do so. Just remember to link you layout to the main blog by Sunday.

My Monday reveals

Hello all. I woke up really late today and have been dragging all day. But I am here to share my reveals with you today.

I will start with my second to last page for Nuts About Sketches. Last week will be my last page and it has been a great team to be part of. Here is the sketch

And here is my page

And this weeks song at Scrap it with a Song is "Summertime" by the Fresh Prince. Love this song.

This week we are being sponsored by Digital Delights.

You will have until Sunday, August 29th at noon (CDT) to link up your creation with the inlinkz app. I can't wait to see what you all do with this song. Stay tuned early in September for a VERY special treat!!! :)

Nuts about Sketches and another ACOT crop page

Well, my laptop is fixed so I can share two more pages with you.  Here is the sketch for NAS this week

 And here is my page

 I used Cosmo Cricket for this page. 

And here is my last page from this past weekends ACOT crop.  It was a salad challenge.  LOL, so you had to pick ingredients prior to the crop and then each ingredient corresponded to something that had to be used on the page.  I had to use cardstock and pp.  Bling, stamp, flower, a tag, chipboard and any number of pictures.

So there you have it.  Thanks for looking.

Monday Reveals

Happy Monday everyone.  Time to share my reveals.  I will start with Nuts About Sketches.  Here is the fabulous two pager from Shawn.

 And here is my page.

 Love how this one turned out.  I actually fit all those pictures on here.\\

And now for Scrap it With a Song.  This weeks song is one of my all time favorite songs.  (Even if it is a country music song.)  It is "This Kiss" by Faith Hill.    It has SO many great lyrics and so many possibilities.  I chose to do a simple interpretation of it by using a picture of Bella kissing Gracie shortly after she was born.

This week's sponsor is once again the fabulous YourScrapbookStash.com!!!! YAY!!! They have generously donated a $20 gift certificate to one lucky winner.   So if you want to play along, you have until Sunday August 9 at noon (CST).  Remember to use a direct link to your project, not to your blog.  Have fun.

Hanging out- Nuts About Sketches Reveal

Here is my other reveal this week. It is another park page from my visit to my parents house last month. And again it uses the Apple Jack line from Sassafrass Lass. That line is just too perfect for kids pages. So here is the sketch from Shawn

And here is my page,

As you can see, my yougest Gracie, has NO FEAR. She scares the wits outta of me. But honestly, not sure if this is PC to say, but I am in a mood, I have resigned myself that at some point she will have a broken something. LOL

Have a good week and you probably won't be seeing anything new from me until reveals on Monday as I am back to my DT work.

Monday Reveals

Good morning everyone. I hope you all had a great holiday weekend (well for those of you in the US anyway.) This is our first 4th in the new house and we were quite happy that we had a view of two fabulous firework displays from our front yard. To the right we could see the national firework display and to the left the Washington Country Club display. In years past at our old house their was a view of the Washington Monument and so our neighborhood had a big block party. But it was crowded and it was hard to really see things with all the people there. And we couldn't see it from our house. Now we are a bit closer, the view not quite as good- no Washington Monument- but we could see the display and there was no crowds. Not bad, IMO.

Anyway on to my reveals. In the spirit of the 4th, Scrap it with a Song, has chosen "America, the Beautiful" as its song. Even if you are not an American, the lyrics are full of powerful images and colors to choose from. I chose to go the patriotic route and use some pictures from last year's 4th. My mother in law always gets the girls coordinating outfits in red, white and blue. I am not big on dressing my children alike, but . . . whatcha going to do? So . . . here it is

This week's winner will get a goodie bag from Nikki Silvis. So, if you want to play do so. You have until Sunday July 11th at noon, CDT to play.

Oh and Scrap it with a Song, is having a DT call. If you are interested check out this link.


Now on to Nuts About Sketches. Here is this weeks sketch

Such a wonderful two pager. I took a lot of photos of this awesome park near my parents house while we were visiting a few weeks ago. It is the same park that I grew up playing in, except there are a ton of new playthings to play on. I mean it is SO nice. So nice, that my girls are still asking to go to "granddads park." Unfortunately granddads park is a 6 hour car trip, so we won't be going any time soon. So here it is,

Have a good week everyone. I am going to try to play a bit and get some new pages posted this week. It is my birthday week, so I will get some me-time in. (I will be 35 on Friday, eek!)

Monday reveals

Hello everyone. I truly want to thank the handful of you who actually do read my blog. LOL. I know lately I haven't given you much to look at, but I am stilll here. The summer has just taken its toll on me and time is getting away from me. So, I haven't had a lot of time to really scrapbook, other than my design team duties. But come August- yes, I am already thinking of August- when the girls are in preschool camp I will actually get time to scrap. And I maybe going to a crop then too, which I think I will really need after this summer.


Anyway on to my pages. I will show you the Nuts About Sketches one first. Here is the sketch,

And here is my layout.

For this page I used pictures from a virtual friend of mine, Vanasa. I uploaded the pictures from her photobucket account and the resolution wasn't so good. (Next time she will just email me the pictures.) That is why there are not any really close up shots of Walker.


Now for Scrap it with a Song. The song this week is Jimmy Cliffs "I Can See Clearly Now". Many of you may remember my cousin who passed away at the beginning of May, well that song was her favorite song and they actually sang and danced to it at her funeral. So I decided to do a dedication page to her. I keep the colors and style natural and clean but with a bit of a funky feel to it. All of which defines her in my eyes.

It appears crocked. But I don't think it really is. I think it is just the way it is photographed and cropped it. At least I hope so. LOL

Our sponsor this week is the fabulous Michelle's Scrapbooking and More


Michelle's Scrapbooking & More is the home of The Pixie Cottage Stamps. If you want to play along you have until July 4th to link up your direct blog post to our main blog- http://scrapitwithasong.blogspot.com/2010/06/week-11-i-can-see-clearly-now.html

Have fun and a good holiday weekend.

my monday reveals

Hello everyone. I have become a lazy blogger. Well, that isn't really true. The only thing I blog about is scrapbooking and the last few weeks have been un-fulfilling, scrapbook wise. I have recently become the president of our preschool co-op. So last week was the last week of preschool and I had three weekday meetings (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday), then one Thursday night. Friday was spent doing other errands. The weekend was family time, and yesterday I drove 6 hours with a 4 year old, 3 year old and a two year old. (added a kid to my regular two- but he is my nephew not some random child.)Anyway, I have scrapped, a little. But only for design team work, not for fun. So . . . I think I am letting my creative batteries recharge a bit, and hopefully can get back to scrapping next week.

So in the meantime, I have two reveals for you.

First Nuts About Sketches, here is the sketch
And my page,
Now for Scrap it With a Song. This weeks song is, Sara Evans, "Could Not Ask For More." I decided to do another wedding page, and here it is
This week is being sponsored by Sew Many Cards and they are offering this weeks winner 5 digi stamps. You will have until Noon CDT June 20th to link up your creation to the main blog.

Have a great week everyone.

My Monday Reveals, a day late, again

Posting a day late again this week. Oh well. It seems that life often gets in the way of my plans, LOL.

First let me post this

**If you are looking for the JMS and the Blend Blog Hop please click here.**

Second, I have just two reveals for you this week. Both of my layouts this week were created using kits from the Scrap-Room.

The first I will do will be Nuts About Sketches. This week Shawn created a great single page layout for us.

I used some nice fall pictures of the girls playing in the leaves. This was the first nice day we had at our new house. The weather warmed up enough for me to rake leaves and for the girls to play outside.


Second is this week page for Scrap it with a Song. This week our song was "True Colors" by Cyndi Lauper.
If you want to play along with us, please do so. Just go to the main blog and leave a DIRECT LINK to your post for this challenge. You will be playing for a chance to win some digi stamps from Sew Many Layouts. Good luck and happy scrapping.

My Monday Reveals, a day late.

With so much going on I didn't post my reveal yesterday. So I will do so today.

Lets start with Scrap It With a Song. This week's song is Paparazzi by Lady Gaga. I will be honest, I have never heard this song, nor any song by Lady Gaga (that is how I know I am getting old, LOL.) But the lyrics spoke to me. There is a line in there that goes, "this picture of us" and well, I have a picture of me and DH taken when we had just started dating, that I never know how to feel about it. When I used to see it it made me angry, now, I kind of laugh. But still . . . so here it is
If you want to play along you have until May 9th to link your pages up on the main blog. Have fun.

Next I will do Nuts About Sketches. This week Shawn created a wonderful two pager for us for week 107.I took the sketch and kind of flipped it, so that the 4x6 were on top. And I used it to document the massive renovation project we did on our kitchen. Here is my layout


And lastly, my last project for My Scrapbooking Supplies, as my term is over. This time around we have a sketch to play with. There is both a card sketch and a layout sketch. As I am not a card maker. I did the layout sketch, here it is
And here is my layout.
