New Background for the computer!

I finally got around to making a new desktop/background for our computer! I used the GingerScraps "What's for dinner" Challenge as my inspiration! It worked great! Maybe that'll be my motivation to making these more often!!

Merry Christmas (& Happy New Year)....a bit belated...

So I'm sure no one really reads this anyways - but figured I'd post quit and wish everyone a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful time with family and friends and are now safe, happy & healthy back home again!

I know I enjoyed our time away (2 full weeks away from home is a LONG time!), but its nice to be back and have a bit of a routine again (as much of a routine as you can with 2 kids). Now if only my house was picked up and back in order so I can just spend LOTS of time scrapping....Someday!

Anyways - here's our Christmas Card from this year - hope you enjoy!

SS Valentine's LO

Adriana hosted a great SS at Ginger Scraps tonight - and I was able to play along - for the first time in a long time. Now that I'm working on bouncing back after my setback...not sure if I feel like talking about it that much - LOL - but it felt good to be creative again! :)

Anyways - here's my LO - the image is linked to my GS gallery where you will find credits! :) Thanks for looking!






And of course I just couldnt leave it with just 1 picture - so I played more and came up with this:



This will probly be the one that I order - just because I have a really hard time just scrapping one photo at a time - Trev's book would be HUGE if I did it that way - its already big! LOL

Ellie Lash ROCKS!

So I recently discovered this designer - Ellie Lash - only to find out she is retiring as a designer (so sad....) and was doing a sale - so I actually purchased (I know for like the 2nd time EVER!) some of her things before they were gone! She then included an ADORABLE fall kit as an added bonus to purchasing in her retirement sale! It was hard NOT to buy anything!!

Anyways - here is a LO that I created using parts of her Pumpkin Patch and Delicious Kits (the tractor was from Mommy Me Time Scrapper_AutumnFest (recolored from red) and I used sketch template 6 from LorieM (flipped and moved a bit).

I just thought this LO turned out soooo cute! I loved the corn stalks (even tho the pics were taken in May - I know the corn is NO WHERE near that height (if coming up at all) but oh well!) The kits also came with some adorable pumpkins and a wheelbarrow and wagon that I'm just dying to use! So don't be surprised if you see a lot more LO's using these kits!! (once I get back into the "fall season" of scrapping pictures!! LOL)

Anyways - enjoy - and click on the LO to go comment on it - PLEASE!!!

Whoo Hoo! Ginger Scraps is BACK!

I was just checking and Ginger Scraps is officially back (well ok, I admit, it was back a few days ago - but I missed it with all the wedding stuff going on!!)

Go check it out and leave lots of comments on my layouts! Hee hee!!

It's Potty Time - Statements by Jodi's new kit

Hey Everyone!! I know it's been a few weeks since I've posted anything - I've been busy making some BB pages for grandparents day - and didn't want the grandparents to see them before they got them for a gift :D

Anyways - some exciting news!! Statements by Jodi has come out with a gorgeous new kit called "Potty Time!" It was a blast to work with - and not to mention adorable! Here is the kit in its entirety (linked to the Ginger Scraps store!)

This kit is perfect for scrapping your child's potty training adventure. It's also great for those big kid underwear photos!

This kit includes 18 papers, 70 elements, 73 stickers, A FULL alpha, and a printable 8x11 sticker chart that you can print out and use during your child's potty training! 4 different candy rewards, 2 rolls of toilet paper, a 5x7 sticker chart for your LO's, 2 potty chairs, 1 staple, 4 boys and 4 girls (blond, brunette, red head and black hair), 4 frames, 2 journal blocks, 2 step stools, 1 toilet, 1 sink, 5 flowers, 10 buttons, 6 pair of girl underwear and 5 pair of boy underwear, and 5 book plates.





And like I said - it was a blast to scrap with - I will definitely be using this kit more than once!! Here is the LO I created! Enjoy - this is a photo of Bug after she was trained - and insisted on doing it HERSELF! I thought I'd give her the benefit of the doubt - but I guess I should have watched her a bit more closely! But I had to laugh when I walked around the corner and saw her - of course I had to run and grab the camera before we cleaned up the mess!! Thankfully it was clean TP!

Statements by Jodi "Elementary"

I had a chance to scrap with Statment by Jodi's kit "Elementary" last night after our "Scotland Steak Send-off" meal! (My MIL, her Mom & Sisters were going to Scotland - so we had steaks on the grill (organic from Futility farms - thanks to me winning that photo-contest!), corn on the cob (fresh from my Aunt's garden), potatos & warm apple crisp (from my Dad's apple trees)! It was DELICIOUS if I do say so myself! ;)

Anyways - its an awesome kit - and I had a blast scrapping with it - I hope to do a few more pages here in the next couple days once Trevor officially starts school!!

Here's my Layout - the image is linked to my gallery - where you can go and leave me some LOVE :D Enjoy!!
