DT try-outs

I made a page today about trying out for Design Teams.

It sucks cause you will try out for TONS of teams before someone will pick you. It seems the sites and forums always go for the same style scrapper which are those who pile of the flowers and pretty papers. If you look all their teams members pages really look alike. I hate that cause to be honest there are more of us "regular" scrappers than there are those fancy scrappers.

Their work is beautiful to look at but lets get real and put some ladies on those design teams that we ALL can look up to and get ideas from !!!!

NEVER give up ladies, just keep trying even if its for a team with no goodies in return. Just get your foot in the door :)

Title Challenge

I do alot of challenges at Sassy Scrappers and for this one we had to use the title: "It doesent get any better than this". everyone goes for short titles so this one was to help you think outside the box and go for a big title :)


I just had fun and went wild on this page and stuck everything that caught my eye on it....lol

These are my grandsons :)

Lets capture our memories

I found another fun site a few days ago. They are new and just starting out so now is the time to get in and get to know everyone from the start ! The ladies are all very friendly and love to chat. Remember the site is new so the crops and challenge will be going soon :)
Come check it out.

Boys & their Toys

The Scrapbook Blog I just told you about called "Scrap the Boys" has a monthly challenge and this month is called "Boys and their Toys". You need to have a photo with the boys (young or old) and their toys. You also need to use Red, Black and one other color on your page.
Here is the layout I did for the challenge.

Scrap the Boys Blog

I found a fun blog thats for you scrappers who scrap BOYS.
You know when you go to the LSS and such there is always more girl things than boy thing. I guess cause the owners are ladies and we like to buy girly things. This blog is great cause they havent forgot about the BOYS in our lives !! All their challenges are for boy pages...in fact....NO GIRL ALLOWED...lol The only girls who should even been in the photos are their mothers. So if you are ever in need of some great boy ideas pop on over to
http://www.scraptheboys.blogspot.com/

We went to Disney World over 3 years ago and Im STILL working on pages...lol Im making 3 albums. One for hubby and I and one for each of the boys. When it comes to Disney the girl pages are easier for me I guess cause there are more things to use on girly page. Heres a page for my book.

Clean and Simple

Your going to be seeing some clean and simple pages from me over the next couple weeks. I printed all the photos of my grandsons from their visit here with hubby and I. Im making them a little book for their house so they can look back on the times spent with Grammy and Papa.
Im putting these photos in their books here too but making simple and clean pages for their house cause I want them to be able to carry them around and look at them.
Here the first page so far.



Youngest grandson Noah :)

Dakotas Art Work

My son Dakota has some Amazing art work, hes very good and has a eye for detail !! I have made pages about his work in the past and heres a new page showing some of his newest work.

Yes your at the right place.....I just have a new look !!I really love those robots but was ready for something new and different so I made up some cupcake things. Im still working and have other things to complete but its a start :)Hope my blog dont make you hungry now....lol

Funky stuff

A couple days ago I found some funky stuff at Walmart in the
ribbon by the year area.....its kinda like lace but not.
It had looks on it and they must have elastic in them cause
they spring when you pull them. It lays very flat on pages too.
Here is a page I made using this fun stuff....its the PINK stuff.

NOTE: It does come unraveled when you cut it so I coated my ends
with "Glossy Accents" you could use anything that drys CLEAR.

The boys

I just love this photo of the boys ! They spent the day jumping
on the trampoline and they took a minute of out their busy day
to pose for me....lol

Spencer, Noah and Bradon

Big Thanks

I just wanted to say a Big Thank You to all the ladies who
have sent me personal emails about my blog !
It seems that most of you really enjoy my blog cause my
SCRAP blog is just that SCRAPPING. Some of you said
you read alot of blogs that are everything under the sun
and sometimes takes alot of reading to get to the scrap part.
I do blog about my family also ladies but I have another blog
for that. That blog is for my family and close friends only so
the whole world dont know about my personal life....lol
Its really nice to know that someone loves your blog and that
its being read :)
So know that I read each and every one of your emails and loved
them all and they put a smile on my face to know that someone
is enjoying my blog.
Thanks again for making my week.
Your Scrap Sister
Amy

6 Note cards I whipped up

New Photo Printer

Oh Im loving this !!!!!!!
Ok I have wanted a printer for home cause I scrap at
night, most of the time from about midnight to 4 am
so when I run out of photos I cant pop into Walmart
and get some. While my Parents were here seeing our
middle child graduate we went scrapbook shopping and
I got to stop in Office Depo to peek at printers.
I fould one for much cheaper than we thought we would
have to pay. I got the HP Photosmart D7460 and LOVE IT !!!
You couldnt get me to give this up....NO WAY.....lol

The best part is Im really saving money. Before I would
pop my memory stick into the photo center of Walmart
to get all my photo but only ended up scrapping about half
of those. The others were photos I didnt like or wouldnt use.
some I just never got around to scrapping....wasting money.
With this printer I just print what I need for that page as Im
working on it and its wonderful. No more boxes of photos
just sitting there !!
And I scrap 8x8 so now I can just print wallets and can get
more of each theme on the page too :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE this printer.......Thanks Honey for buying
this wonderful goodie :)

Me again...lol

I know Im getting slower and slower about posting on the
blog but Im so busy making pages over as Sassy Scrapper
for the charms and at Serendipity Scrapbooks for our fun
Team Challenge they keep me busy :)


Here a couple pages for this week.

Our Grandson Bradon Bowling.............son Spencer cathing turtles.

Still working on Disney World................spencer cathing baby fish.

Finally

I finally got a few minutes to scrap this week.

I got many pages started but they dont look right

just yet so I will keep working and get them done asap.

Here are a couple I did get done both pages are about

the new puppy we just got named Abby.

Abby

Today we got a new family member and the guys named

her ABBY....she so pretty with all her spots. She has both

red healer and blue healer in her. She very sweet and LOVES

Spencer she gets closer and closer till hes right on top of him

and in his lap.....lol

Spencer had to go right to Walmart to shop for her, we came

home with 4 toys, rawhide bones, bog treats, water and food bowls

leash, coller, brush and flea/tick medicine.....lol Boy Abby is not cheap....lol

But shes too cute !! :)

Disney

Im working on a couple Disney pages this week.

Heres a Peter Pan page I just got done and also a page

about Dakota using a sketch.

Sassy Crop

We had a weekend crop at Sassy Scrappers and I got

2 things done on Sat.....lol

Heres my quick Get Well Card and a 6x12 page.

Im working on a couple things today that I hope I get done

in the mix of everything going on this weekend.

Robbery

These last couple week have been crazy. I have had scrappers block, son is getting ready to graduate and last night while we were awake, lights on and right in our kitchen someone robbed us !!!!
Our garage goes right into our kitchen. Our garage door was open cause we just got home from Walmart and I was cooking dinner. the garage light was on and boy is it bright in there cause we have the regular light, light above the laundry and another BIG set of lights above hubbys work bench. Also the spot light shinning on our cars was on !! The kitchen door was also open !!!!!!!!!! Someone walked right into the garage with me in the kitchen & I didnt even see or hear a thing !!!!!!!!!!!!!
They took brand new lawn mower brought like 4 months ago for 400.00, chain saw, new air compressor, weed eaters, welder, thats all we have noticed gone so far. They didnt get the 4 wheeler cause it had a flat. Our cars were parked in front of the garage so they HAD to lift the lawn mower up OVER THE CARS to get it out !!!! I took out trash and was closing the door when I noticed the lawn mower gone....we started looking to find tons of PRICEY things gone !!
We called the police but we know we wont see those things again. I feel SO BAD for hubby cause most families have 2 income and barely get by.....we only have ONE income and dont have crap to our names......he does for the family and dont get much !!! And they cleaned him out and those were all Birthday and Christmas gifts.
Talk about bad luck this month, Now Im scared cause they could have walked right into the house !!! They were very brave to rob us with the lights on and us awake !

Graduation

Next Friday our middle child will have his High School
Graduation......YEA! Now we have one more child to get
through school but it will be a long road cause he hasent
even started school yet.....LOL
Our middle child will graduate high school and 3 months
later our youngest will start kindergarden.......lol

We so very proud of him and hes so excited he cant stand it...lol
I will post pictures as soon as we got new ones.

Just wanted to let you know why I havent been posting but
things are pretty busy around here right now.

Can you make a page in 15 minutes ??

Ok I was reading a blog and it said we take too much time

thinking about a page and waiting for something to jump

out at us. It said to pick a photo and then give yourself 15

minutes to work on the page and see what you can get done.

so I did just that.....lol

I will say it was a REAL CHALLENGE for me.....lol

Here are 3 pages I did but I will say that they are alittle plain
to me and will be adding a few things to the pages.

Everyone should try the 15 minute challenge :)

Couple Recipe tags

I whipped up a couple 4x6 recipe tags last night.

2 were for a swap in the advanced group and the

other 2 were for a challenge at Sassy Scrappers.

Senior Pages

Only 2 1/2 more weeks and our middle child will graduate

from High School, we cant believe how the time just flew by.

Were so proud of him and just thankful with how the kids are

today that hes a really great kid and worked so hard in school

to graduate !!

Heres a few more pages I did with some of his senior photos.

I better get busy.....lol

I know its been alittle while since I posted and I got
tons of pages to share too. I will try and get the pages
posted asap.
I have had scrappers block for about a week. But Im
going to try and get a few things done tonight.

Also were down to the last 3 weeks before graduation !!
Im so happy our middle child is done with school but
the sad things is now were starting all over as our youngest
child will now be starting school.....lol

The last couple days I have been taking my son out

to take some Senior photos. We got some really nice
ones and some that had to be deleted of course....lol
When we got home we sent a few to Walmart to be
printed over the internet. When I picked them up they
were not going to let me have them cause they thought
I was using copyrighted photos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I then had to tell them I tool those photos but they really
didnt believe me for a long time....lol
I was alittle mad cause I wanted my photos but after I
finally got them I was laughing cause they thought I was
that good.....lol
