Fall Fun - The Sampler

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you another layout I made with the Warm kit from the Sampler kit club.  I have really loved the kit this month.  And it was perfect for this photo I took of the children at a little farm down the street this last weekend.  Trying to get some "Senior" photos of Brighton...sigh...they grow so fast.  And you know I couldn't resist snapping a few of the girls as well.

 (sorry about the funky lighting in the photo...don't know what is going on these days.  I bought I light box, but haven't had much success with it.  I need to keep trying tho as with the winter rains coming.....)

Well, lots of gorgeous motifs to fussy cut in this kit and the colors are just gorgeous.  I  love the mix of patterns this month and I know you will as well.  With the help of the October 26th Sketch from Stuck on You Sketches, I was able to complete this layout in no time at all!

There is still lots of time to play along with us at the monthly sketch and card challenges.  You don't need to purchase a kit to play and you have a chance of winning some great prizes!  Be sure and check it out.

Hugs.

Fun Day

Hi everyone!  I hope you are having a great day today.  Me....I have been cleaning.  After our freak rainstorm the other day, I needed to get out in the yard, uncover the furniture and clean up the mess left behind.  I doubt I will be scrapping photos of that in this cute little mini album I made with my leftover October Afternoon supplies and Scraptastic kit.

 Lately I have had so many extras left over from my kits that I just haven't known what to do with.  So, I decided to start creating some little mini books with my Bind-it-All.  Just for fun.  I love that I can use all different sizes of papers in my books by just varying where the o wires go.

Well, Back to work.

Hugs.

Tried & True

Hi everyone!  I hope you are having a great day.  Me....not so bad.  Having a bit of a problem with Photoshop...but nothing new there.  lol  DH is home today as he hopes to get the chance to do some work on his climbing wall and outdoor kitchen.  Of course, that isn't happening as he is sitting playing on his computer.  lol

Today I wanted to share with you a project I made using more of the Genuine Collection from Authentique and lots of gorgeous blooms from Prima.  (yep...all these pretty much came from the boxes we were allowed to dig in while at the NSD crop.

I took Ainsley and her friend to an Earth Day celebration at our Whole Foods Market.  They had an amazing petting zoo....goats, rabbits, chickens, lambs, alpacas...yep...alpacas.  Of course, I didn't get a good shot...but I promise there were two of them.....

I am really loving the blue and yellow combination in this line from Authentique.  Works so well for many subjects.

Well, I have bunches of things to get done and while dh is busy sitting on his computer, I can't have him thinking this is all I do all day.  hee hee

Busy, Busy

But not in the way you probably think.  lol

Today, I woke with horrible allergies.  So, I decided to take it easy.  Mackenzie went to morning swim practice.  Ainsley and Brighton went to afternoon.  Other than a bit of housework and a friend over for Ainsley it was a very uneventful day.  Which, gave me lots of time to play.  What a nice change.

My good friend, Heather, challenged me at the beginning of the month to scrapbook 30 photos.  Which, with my current affinity for single photo layouts looked to be quite a challenge.  But, with all the time I had today, it was one I was up to.

The first one is from this weeks Sassy Lil Sketches blog.  Which, was a great layout for lots of photos (6!!!)

and here is my take....

The next, from The Color Room

And then....

From Color Palette 148 over at Color Combos Galore and a flip, rotate, reassemble of Got Sketch #100.

Finally, based on a sketch and color scheme over at Pagemaps....

How much would I love to win all those gorgeous laser cute chippies.  sigh.....

Well, so that makes 29...technically, not done yet.  But I do have another layout here, waiting to be uploaded to the Your Memories Here blog for my last reveal as a GDT member.  I have loved working with their products and look forward to summer CHA and the need to stock up again!  lol  Seriously, if you haven't been buy, you should definitely check them out.

Well, off to finish dinner.  Meatless Monday here so we are having cheese enchiladas with a big salad and a plum/berry crumble for dessert.  yummmmmm

Chat with ya soon.

Hugs.
