Where oh Where

Can you believe this is the last day of January?  Where, oh where, does the time go?  

If you are like me, you can't wait to see what the design team has in store for February.  But, until then, I have another project using the Ready, Set, Go kit.

I can't believe that this was the sixth project, fifth 12x12 layout, I made with the kit.  It was so packed full of yummy goodies.  I did throw in a few flowers from my stash this time.

I just loved the wooden alphabet in this kit, and this time I used spray ink to color them.

Well, gotta run!

Happy Monday

Hi everyone!  I hope you had a great weekend.  I know I did.  While I didn't get as much done as i had hoped, we had beautiful weather and I spent some great time with family and friends.

I managed to sneak in a little scrappy shopping at Your Memories Here.  I couldn't resit the chance to order the new Tim Holtz Distress Markers, and a Prima Grab Bag.  I also found a bit of time to play with the February kit from The Sampler.  I know you are gonna love this kit!

Well, since I can't show you anything from the Sampler quite yet, I thought I would share some more Christmas layouts.  Try and get them all in before Valentine's Day!  hee hee

These photos were taken on Christmas.  Phil working in the kitchen, the table set for dinner and the Buche de Noel we made for desert.  If you look closely at the photo, you can see some fun fondant pieces I made with my new Cricut Cake.

  I used lots of older papers from my stash to complete this one, most from an old kit from Inspired to Scrap.

Well, it is just about time to hit the pool, so I guess I should run!  Be sure and stop by tomorrow for a project from The Sampler.

Hugs.

So Behind

I don't think I had realized how behind I was on sharing projects until I really stepped back and looked.  I guess I was so busy with school and Lili that I totally have been forgetting to share.

So, without further ado...

A little art!   One cold day when Lili was here I decided she might enjoy painting with a mixture of shaving cream and food coloring.  My children loved it when they were younger....Lili?  not so much.  She doesn't enjoy messy play much.  Oh well.  Aisnley did!  lol

I used my Sizzix framelitz stamp/die cuts to make the fun paper flowers and butterfly.  Mixed with a few scraps of Crate Paper Emma's Shoppe...so cute and so much fun.

Look at that face!  She was having the time of her life.  I guess 10 isn't too old for messy play.  She must take after her mom, hee hee.

 Speaking of messy play.  I love it!  Inks, paints, mod podge, modelling paste!  be still my heart.

I really am not much of one for resolutions, but this year I would love to get my pages into albums and get rid of some of the excess scrappy supplies I have.  I used this for yesterday's Ideas for Scrapbooker's post. 

Well, Back to work.  I still need some help deciding which Prima kit I should purchase from Your Memories Here, so if you get a chance to take a look here......

Hugs.

Your Memories Here and a Question

Hi everyone!  Today I wanted to share with you my latest project made with my Prima grab bag from Your Memories Here.  I still can't believe how many wonderful things I received in my box....and how many more I still have.

Here is my sweet niece, Lili.  For the last 3 weeks I have been watching her during the day while my sister searched for daycare after her recent move.  We have really enjoyed having her in our home.  It sure is different having a toddler again.  So much fun.  And so many great photo ops.

I love all the gorgeous goodies that my box had.  Papers, art tiles, butterflies, flowers, resins, trims, bling...oh my!

This box has given me so much to play with these past few months.  And yet, there is always more.  I am forever digging in to find more treasures.

That said....Winter CHA is upon us and Prima has released its sneaks of the lines.  And I can't decide which I must have.  So, I am asking you to help me.  Kristina is offering complete kits of each of the six new Prima lines in the store as a pre-order.  I think I have narrowed my choice down to these two...

What do you think?  Am I more an Almanac girl or a Nature Garden?  hmmmm, I so wish I could get both! hee hee  Be sure to check out both of these as well as the other four collections for  pre-order at Your Memories Here.

Well, gotta run!  Be sure and leave me a comment with which I should get?  Thanks

Hugs.

Happy Tuesday

Baby...it's Cold Outside

It is too...stinkin' freezing here today.  I am ready for more beautiful weather.  Yesterday we were playing in the sun,...today you couldn't force me out there.  We are even supposed to get rain that can be measured in inches over the next few days!  Crazy weather!

Well, speaking of cold, and winter..let's talk about Christmas.

Here are Brighton and Mackenzie, cuddled up together on Christmas evening.  The were sitting together in a large chair, opening the last few presents and enjoying all the family who had come for Christmas dinner.  So sweet, and so fun.  I am blessed that my children are so close.  They seem to actually like one another!  lol

I used more, older papers here (I am trying desperately to reduce the stash).  This time Basic Grey.  I threw in some coordinating chipboard

 and some Prima alphas.

And you know I had to add a few pop dots for extra dimension.

Well, back to work.  Headed out for Cirque du Soleil later this afternoon.

Hugs.
