My great-niece is a spit-fire! But absolutely ADORABLE! And, since I have 3 boys, I don't get to use much pink. So, I used as much as I possibly could on this layout! The twist this week at Twisted Sketches is CHIPBOARD. I used several different chipboard letters to do my title and a Basic Grey chipboard piece that says "in my heart". Jump over to Twisted Sketches to see the sketch and play along!

A little Q&A

Every now and then I like to do a page where I ask my boys questions about themselves. Basic questions like what's your favorite book? or what's your favorite food? It's fun to look back and see the different answers from year to year! I used the sketch from Twisted Sketches for this Q&A from my 19 year old. Ask someone you love a couple questions, you might be surprised by the answers!

Missing Mojo

Does your Mojo ever disappear? Mine sure has lately! Usually I can make 8-10 scrapbook pages a week. Wanna know how many I've created over the last 2 weeks? 3. Pretty sad! I don't know if it's the weather, or the fact that for some reason I can't sleep at nite or just what the problem is, but I just can't seem to find my "niche" again! I had to do use this sketch from Twisted Sketches 3 times before I finally got one I was willing to share with you! And to tell the truth, it's still not my best work! Wow, am I in a funk! I think I'll pick up a chocolate cake and possibly a bottle of wine on my way home from work, that oughta' fix anything right?!?!! I hope you have better luck using the awesome sketch from Twisted Sketches! Here's to finding your Mojo!

I used mostly things in my scrap box for this. The "circle" is a 4 inch strip that I pleated and smooshed flat. My "ENVELOPE" is in the bottom left corner under the GCD chipboard sticker. And I made my own bird on a limb mask for a little added interest!  Happy Scrapping!

Rain Rain Go AWAY!

Im not usually a complainer, but come on! Here in Virginia it's been raining for 2 weeks! Enough already! Fall is my favorite season, and we can't even go outside and enjoy it!So, you will have to excuse the terrible picture, it's hard to get a good picture of a scrapbook page with no natural light!!  Alright, enough ranting.... How about a sketch and a layout? It's my turn at TWISTED SKETCHES again this week! The twist is PUNCH. Usually there's a lot of punching going on around my house with 3 boys! But instead of brotherly love I did a layout of my middle son testing for his first degree black belt in Hap Ki Do. I took a few liberties with this sketch, but I think you can still see it in there!

Off to a Good Start!

School started here the week before Labor Day. We've settled in pretty well, now it's time to start scrapping the pictures! Idid this layout for Twisted Sketches. The twist this week is START. So, go get STARTED!

aahhhh the LONG days of summer

It's time for Twisted Sketches again! I don't know about you, but I have a ton of pictures to scrap from this summer! We went to Michigan and Wisconsin to visit family and celebrate my mom's 80th birthday! So, you will be seeing many of those pictures! Today, is a picture of me, my Mother-in-Law and Sister-in-Law floating away the afternoon on the lake! Check out the Twisted Sketches blog to see the sketch I used for this and everyone else's layouts! I used some old (really old) Doodle Bug stuff on this one, I love using up my stash!

Clearly

I'm still here! Still on on the Twisted Sketches design team! I'm so happy to continue with Twisted Sketches! Be sure to hop on over to the blog to see the rest of the team and what they have done with the new sketch and the twist!

This is a picture of my adorable niece and her boyfriend. They are in that sappy, snuggly, lovey-dovey stage of their relationship. I got a tooth ache being around them! LOL! They are very sweet and cute together and CLEARLY in love!
