Da Boys

Hello? Hello? Is anybody there?

What a bad blogger I have turned out to be this Summer-EEK.

But I have LOTS to share in the upcoming weeks-I have been scrapping like crazy these past few days and have been so blessed to receive an another FABBY kit in the meantime from Kimberly at Hip 2B Square, so I am hoping to be around ALOT more for at least the next month with some scrappiness to share with you. I am hoping I am not jinxing it by typing those words, however.

The first LO I have to share with you is from the May kit from Hip 2B and uses some misting (using Mister Huey's Color Mister in Bonny Blue & the Studio Calico veneer stars (see below) that were included in this month's kit as masks). I was also told recently, by my good pal, Tracey that she misses the stitching on my LOs.

Well, I can safely say that I have stitched my LOs so much recently that my fingers are raw in several places BUT I REALLY like the effect of it against the below masking.

You can see all kit details HERE.

You can also see that I have purchased a cloud punch (Fiskars) and am really gettiing my $$ worth.

I think I have added clouds to most of my projects this month. :)

I really love using shapes that I find in different ways and you can see the SC Veneer Star makes a disguised appearance yet again on the below card.

I traced the outside of the star for my card base, traced it again for the full star and then traced the inside of it for my smaller red star on the inside. 

That's all I have for today, if you are still dropping by my little spot on the 'net,

I SINCERELY and humbly THANK YOU.

Happy Saturday!

Hello, There!

OMGosh! I can't believe it has been almost ONEWHOLE MONTH since I have been here.
I have been scrapping some (I have been diligantly working on a couple of gift albums for family and friends).
One is a 12x12 wedding album for my Dad and his new wife and the other is for a good friend's little boy (she doesn't scrap but LOVES to take pictures). Of course, nothing is photographed or uploaded and this week, my camera chooses to give up on things completely and stopped working :( IO can hardly say that I blame it, though. My Canon has been given quite the workout over the last few weeks.

The last two months have been CRAZY BUSY but thankfully, it's winding down a bit now. I don't normally post alot of pics on my blog (that aren't scrap related) but I feel I need to share a bit of what I have been up to. Hopefully, you haven't given up on visiting my blog just yet. ;)

From start to finish- I have spent the last 6 weeks preparing for my Dad's wedding, my Hubby's Graduation from WMI, my little sister's prom (isn't she sweet??),our 20th class reunion, Family Fun Days, a yard sale, annual picnics, school ending (my Baby is going into first grade-YAY!!!), and our annual family vacation. Plus throw in a couple of birthdays and holidays for good measure. It seems there has been something pending every week/weekend and this is my first Saturday 'off' in quite awhile. I haven't seen many of my friends or scrapped a thing in about 2 weeks but I can't wait to get back at 'er!

I am expecting some wonderful new supplies from Kimberly at Hip 2B Square any day now

Happy June!!

This is a project that I did for the May issue of Scrapstreet.

The article was on scrapping an influence in your life and I showcased my Hubby.

Thanks for peeking in!

Happy Wednesday!

Special Lunch Day

Hey Friends!

I hope the sun has found you in your part of the world. We have had several glorious days in my town and it has done WONDERS for my spirit! Although, long afternoons spent at the playground does leave less time for blogging. :( I promise to keep updating when I can.

I have a March Hip LO that I forgot to share last month with you.

This LO is about our Friday afternoon lunch ritual at McDonald's for the last 2.5 years. Lots of new Pink Paislee & Studio Calico in the March kit for Hip 2B Square.

Again, these are camera phone pictures which aren't the 'best' quality but I do love having my cel camera on hand when I am in a pinch. I'd rather scrap with a less than perfect photo than have none at all.

Thanks for popping in!

Happy Tuesday!

After School Play Date

Happy Thursday!

I have a new layout to share with you today using the April Hip 2B Square kit!

This is a LO of my Little Muy and one of his classmates (sorry-I did not get this little cutie's parent's permission to publish him-thanks for understanding!). They were having an especially fun time building 'sandcastles' for me to take pics of.

Thanks for popping by!

Have a Happy Thursday!

My Mind's Eye Sketch Challenge: C & J

I did this sketch with the best of intentions of and then life got in the way :(

I am still thrilled with the end result and wanted to share this LO anyway.

The challenge was to use any My Mind's Eye product and do the LO based on the sketch.

The topic was a free-style, anything goes approach, so I scrapped 2 of my favorite boys ;)

I took the pic over the Easter holiday and just love how my little guy is looking at his cousin.

He really looks up to him.

Supplies: Cardstock-kraft, Papers-My Mind's Eye, Trim-Pink Paislee & from stash.
