Still Scrappin

Ok, so its been a few days since I uploaded any new layouts. Well I did do a few that I haven't posted because truthfully it does take up a lot of time to post these layouts. I know I should just save them and do them all at once but I like to post them as I finish them. For these two layouts, (My Son and his wife and My oldest daughter and her husband), I used the kit Oh La La by Ashalee Wall. I don't have too many current pictures of my older children. That's because my Son hates for me to take his picture and my older daughter lives 3 hours away.

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling...

Yep, that's me, just rolling along, making new layouts. For these two layouts I used this oooh so pretty kit 'Tis the Season by Sweet-Made. We had a little snow here but it wasn't too bad as it was very fine. It was so easy to shovel as it was like picking up powder. The only thing is that its cold out. Well cold for me, its about 18 degree's outside. Cold enough to make my hands hurt when I went out to shovel. Well I am off to post these layouts. Talk to you soon.

Wowza, Wowza, Wowza

Am I on a roll or what. I can't believe it, I have four more layouts to show. The first two layouts (the ones on the bottom) are some pictures of my Son when he was just a little boy. I wasn't sure how they would come out as the pictures are old. He is 36 now and the camera wasn't a very good one. But after scanning them I played with them a little in photoshop to lighten them up a bit. The kit I used for those two layouts was Kids At Play by Ellen Massey of Stone Accents Studio This was a fun kit to work with and just great for little boy pictures. For the two top layouts I used some old family photos, In the top layout, the pictures were taken at my oldest daughters wedding. For these two layouts I used the kit Midnight Garden by Monika Designs also from SAS. Well thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your visit.

Back on track!!

No No, not another blog train. I just meant that I am back on track in scrapbooking. I didn't make not one layout in the month of December. I just felt so bad not fulfilling my duties as a CT member. I am so grateful that everyone was so understanding. So now I am trying to do some catch up. Not that I have to, but it only seems right. So for your viewing pleasure, I have 4 new layouts to show. For the two Christmas layouts, starring my beautiful granddaughter's I used the kit Happy Ho Ho by Mamrotka of Stone Accents Studio. For my other two layouts, starring my two beautiful daughters I used the kit For Little Girls - Sugar & Spice by mITSYBELLE also of Stone Accents Studio. So yes, I am back and hopefully can stay on track. I still am busy with my daughter's college applications. Well not exactly the applications but the requirements for her art portfolio. Every college wants something different and they are not specific on their instructions online. So I have been calling the colleges and trying to get to the right people who know the answers and let me tell you this is no easy task. I can't tell you the countless hours I have already spent on the phone. I just can't wait for all this to be over. Oh but the good news is., is that we have already received three letters of acceptance. One being her number one pick. So even though we were accepted into her number one, she just wants to be certain that it is the best choice. Well enough chit chat for now, I am off to upload these layouts. Thanks for looking.

Isn't life grand?

Oh yes, as I sit here in front of my brand new HP all in one touch screen computer doing what I truely enjoy, I say Isn't life just wonderful. Sometimes I just enjoy seeing my screensaver come up and displaying my layouts, lol. I still have alot of transfering from my old computer but a little at a time. Maybe this will help me organize everything I have. I do have 2 new layouts to show. The kit I used for these layouts is Snow Princess by Cathy Cher of Stone Accents Studio. It was really a pretty kit to work with. The pictures I used were from Christmas Eve at my youngest daughters boyfriends house. I thought it was so nice that his parents invited us. They had so much delicious food and appetizers, its just making me hungry thinking about it. They not only invited me and my youngest daughter but also my older daughter and her husband. We all had a wonderful time.

Happy New Year!!!

I can't believe we are in 2009 already. Boy time really does fly. Well it does for me, in fact time is flying by too quickly for my likes. I had a very nice Christmas, my oldest daughter came down and I had my family all together, even if it was only for a few days. My youngest daughters boyfriends parents invited me for Christmas eve and New Years eve. I just think that it was so nice of them. They are really nice people. I know I haven't been here for quite awhile but things just have been too hectic. College applications, visiting colleges, babysitting, Christmas shopping, wrapping, visiting with family and New Years, just to name a few. Hopefully things will quiet down a little, just the way I like it. I still have a little more to do with college preparations, like meetings with the college advisor but then it will be a sit and wait game. I just can't wait till all this is over and done with. I have been neglecting my scrapbooking but hopefully I can get back on track now. I have 2 new layouts to show, I used the November 2008 "Winter Wonderland" Mega Kit made by the very talented designers of Stone Accents Studio.

Toot Toot, All Aboard

Ok, let me start off by telling all of you that I am not a designer, I am just a simple scrapper. I have never made a kit in my life. I have made quick pages before, but that is the extent of my experience. My sweet sister (patchas) told me about this blog train that DigitalArts-Cafe was hosting. She told me that they were looking for participants and you didn't have to be a designer to join. She said I could just make quick pages from a kit that they would supply. She said come on, lets do it, it will be fun. So I decided to join and make some quick pages. Then after I joined she told me that she was going to try to make a kit. So I decided to play around in Photoshop a little and see if maybe I could also make some papers. Anyway to make a long story short, I ended up making this kit, which I named mish mosh, because thats what it is, a little bit of this and a little bit of that. If you decide to download, maybe you could use one of my papers or a flower as it should match the other kits available in this blog train. I had fun doing this and I learned by the many mistakes that I made. My Sister was always there for me though, just on the other side of my computer to help me with any questions I had. You really have to check out her blog (link above) to see her kit. I haven't seen it yet as she wants it to be a surprise. But I know it will be beautiful as she is just so talented. I know I probably did something wrong, either in uploading or something. So if you find any problems, please let me know and I will fix it .
