| 5 L U C K Y things |

This layout was done for the CP Creative Weekly last week. The theme was "Chartreuse". Green is my favorite color so I definitely had fun with this.

{spooking things around here..........}

 
I love Halloween and I guess I'll be posting about it until the 31st.  I love that Aniyah loves seeing it when she comes in. It's pretty cool to me. I still have a few more things around the house I want to snap photos of but it's been raining here so I haven't had a chance to get any pics.

In keeping with my Halloween love right now, I did this layout using Crate Paper's Random collection {supplies: Crate Paper, "Random" graphic, accent cuts Teresa Collins, "Haunted Hallows": poison} I cut the butterflies with the Slice and did some stamping and misting.

slow progress

I'm making such slow progress with my jbs july kit. I'm trying to get out of my scrap slump.  I used my studio calico stamp to stamp some of the alphas at the top in jbs spice tin ink and I used jenni's ruler edge stamp in white ink for the top border. I love the kraft, cream and blue combination.

JBS projects and photos

I finally got a few projects done with the JBS April Kit and I still have May's Kit to do and several past kits and project kits waiting for my attention.  I hope to get back to scrapping on a regular since my parents are moving to Illinois this week. Aniyah is in transition with them for some of the summer and I already miss her and it's only been a day.  I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. I'm off to watch the first playoff game and finish baking my sweet potatoe pie.

This card needs a bit of journaling but I didn't have a card in mind for anyone so it is blank for now.

 

 

JBS Jan Kit and Making Memories Je t'adore and photos

I finally got some scrapping done! Yay! I'm so behind on a few kits from 2010 but I didn't want to make 2011 that way so I got caught up on my JBS Jan kit. I need to work on my SC Jan kit next so hopefully I can still get some scrapping done today. I love the black and cream in this kit. Jenni is always fab when it comes to the combination of colors in her kits. I can't wait to get my Feb kit, the colors in it are awesome!









I totally love MM Je t'adore collection. The colors are so fab and since I love the month of Feb, it was just too perfect. I bought a few more things from the collection that I need scrap with and I hope to dive into the rest of the collection soon.





Aniyah is growing up way too fast. She will be 7 this month and it's so hard to believe.

some studio calico

 

Finally finished these layouts for December. I'm working backwards and trying to play catch-up. So nice having my internet up and working today and since the kids are out another day, I'll hopefully be able to continue posting. I am addicted to all my MS punches that I bought before moving and just now able to break them out. I love this kit and the colors. I hate I missed getting any add-ons.

 

projects and photos

I've been a busy scrapper around here lately. I got into a groove and I ran with it which hasn't happened for me in a long time. I finally got my JB projects done. I think that I may have decided to finally let go of my SC subscription. I've been getting them for the past 6 months now and I'm thinking that I will cancel and just pick up the kits each month if I want one. The main reason why I've been able to scrap lately unfortunately is because Aniyah's been home from school sick since Monday. She ran a 103 temp and when I took her to the doc, she didn't have strep so they just sent us home with Tylenol as the prescribed medicine. Well, she still ran the temp so she went back to the doc today only to find out that she has pneumonia. S far I haven't been sick but it's given me time to scrap and do some Halloween decorations around the house. The first layout is not finished. I just got stuck! LOL! I need to add photos and journaling.

                
 

I need to add some journaling to this layout. Will post an update.

I have to admit right now that I was in total love when I got the project kit this month. It will have to be my most favorite project so far.  I did channel my inner Jenni Bowlin and Keisha Campbell on this. Total love.  I definitely wish I would have gotten some of the Pink Paislee Twilght halloween collection last year. I absolutely love it! More pics are at my 2peas gallery.

few projects & pics of Aniyah

These layouts were done using the JB August kit. I got a little behind in doing these but I created a few layouts with them.

The first layout is of my beautiful mother and I used my new Tattered Angels pumpkin mist over the maya road chipboards.

This layout is really about my hubby but I love this photo of me that my niece took.

This layout was done using the Studio Calico September kit. I used the Fresh Cut ad-on for this layout. This is one of my recent fav pics of Aniyah.
