It's time again!!!

For a new challenge over at scrapFIT!!!! And this one will definitely get you in the mood for Halloween!!! (at least it did me!!!) This week's challenge is to use Black, Lime Green, Orange, and Purple on a layout...using solid cardstock in one of those 4 colors as your base! Easy peasy, right????

Here's what I came up with using some of the New BoBunny Whooligans and Boo Crew papers!



Please play along with us this round...once again, we've got The Little Black Dress Kit Club as our awesome sponsor!!! I'm sure they'll have something great for you up their sleeves...if you are chosen as our winner for this Workout!!! Can't wait to see what you guys come up with for this one!!!!

Almost too much going on!

I know I'm 5 days late...but there's a cool new challenge up at scrapFIT!!! Go check it out!!! When I get a spare minute, I hope to work on it myself!

ScrapU was a HUGE success over at Scrap-Friendzy!!! Thanks to all who joined us! I learned some AMAZING new techniques the past month...hopefully, I'll get to incorporate them in a project soon! If your looking for some cool things to try, the ScrapU forum should stay up for a while... And to give the DT a breather...we're doing a mini version of our Sketch-a-thon this month! New sketches are posted on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!!! Check in tomorrow to see an original by yours truly!

Along with lots of fun scrappy stuff...we spent this past weekend VERY close to the mountains...camping. In a tent. And it was below 50* each night! LOL! It was a LOT of work, but lots of fun too! We went with Harrison's scout troop and Harrison got to go fishing and he even caught his first ever fish! He was soooo excited!

I'm mourning the loss of my desktop computer...she had ALL MY stuff on her! My Photoshop, Sure Cuts a Lot, Design Studio, Inkscape, Picasa...and 2 months worth of pics that were NOT backed up!!!! WAAAAHHHHHHH! We're still waiting to hear if the computer guy can retrieve the pics for me... So, now we're back to a one computer family and it's really sucking! LOL! I can't take the laptop upstairs now because it has to be directly hooked into the internet...router won't work without another computer! (or if it will, I don't know how to hook that up!) I was able to download the software and drivers for my printer...thank goodness! I vow to backup everytime I dump my memory card from now on!

OH, and some bright, ingenious person at the boy's school decided it would be a great idea to have the kindergarten field trip AND the 2nd grade field trip on the SAME day! Mark took off to go with Harrison but I found out today he may not be able to go because they have to do a background check on him for him to be able to go!!!! WHAT?!?!?! It's a field trip! So, if they don't get the info back before Thursday, he can't go. I guess I'll go to Mooresville for half the day and Hickory the other half...they're only about an hour apart...{roll eyes}

That's all the excitement I can think of around here...hope everyone's having a great October!

Adding to the family...again!

And NO! I'm not pregnant...THANK GOD! LOL! We just became the owners of a 4.5 month old Cane Corso pup...but she's as big as Izzy! For those that don't know, Cane Corso's are Italian Mastiffs! She's black with just a touch of brindle in her coat. She's very laid back and calm...compared to Izzy who's like a "rat on acid" to quote my husband! LOL! I've got a few pics of her, but you can't really see her coloring well with me using the flash indoors. I'll take some more pics of her tomorrow outside and post them here.

Time for a new challenge!!!

At www.scrapFit.blogspot.com!!!

Today's challenge is to go GREEN!!! We want you to recycle something to use on your page...scrappy packaging is a great thing to reuse on a page, but you can recycle anything! We also want to SEE the color Green on your page! Here's my example!

I used the packaging from the Prima Stars and the ribbon I wrapped around the stems of the stars is a teal and green stripe!

We also have an AWESOME Guest Designer this week...Say Hello to Karen B!!! Check out her amazing page on the blog!

And we are excited that Paper Trunk is our sponsor...look at this great prize they are offering!!!



So join us this week and show us what you got!!!!

Stuff I've been working on!

Remember I told you that Scrap-Friendzy was having ScrapU this month??? Well, the first challenge by Ms. Amy was to make your own sheet music, tea stain it, and use a song title or lyrics on your page...well, here's what I came up with!

I used the song "In my Life" by the Beatles. I tea stained some watercolor paper before running it thru my printer and printing the blank sheet music. Then, I drew in the music notes! This was sooooo much fun! You can still play...this assignment isn't due until Sunday, September 5!

The 2nd challenge...posted by your's truly...was an After School Activity. My activity was Football and I challenged you to create texture on your page...taking the texture from the bumpiness of the football (and its lacing!) I showed how to create some cool texture (go check it out!) that is a little out of the box. I'm hoping we start a trend!!! :) Here's that page (one of my new FAV'S!!)


And, I got inspired by an awesome page I found on scrapbook.com. Using the scraps I pulled out for the previous page, I came up with this!


So there...some eye candy for your holiday weekend! Have a great one and stay safe!

It's SEPTEMBER!!!

I do believe that September is my FAVORITE month of the year!!! We start getting a few cooler days (the mornings here have been wonderful...the days, not so much!), Football starts, school's in full swing...I just LOVE it! Plus, I met my wonderful hubby in September and married him in September...it's just a good month!

And guess what starts today?!?!?!?!

Yep! That's right!! ScrapU over at Scrap-Friendzy!!! If you saw the pre-assignments, they were GREAT! The first assignment is up and Ms. Amy did an awesome job! Can't wait to give it a try! You should check it out too! BTW...I have an fun after school assignment for you tomorrow for extra credit...just sayin'!

Also, there's a new challenge up at ScrapFIT too! And those Team Jazzercise girls rocked it this month!!! Check that out too!

Hum...anything else I need to tell you guys today??? Can't think of anything, so I'll say bye for now! Have a good day!

It's a MINI Workout!!!

Yep! Just a little quick something to get you going this week over at http://www.scrapfit.blogspot.com/. This little challenge requires you to make a Birthday Card using scraps from WO #26 or WO #27. Here's mine:





The deadline to upload is September 5th. All of the FITgirls will vote on the entries and one lucky girl will get to be the Guest Designer for the 15th of the Month workout!!! Now if you haven't done WO #26 or #27, then you need to do that one and then do the mini! So go get busy!!! Can't wait to see what you create!!!
