Ok it has been a while since I've uploaded photos to this blog, but I have been doing some scrapping and I've decided to add them all now. So let's take a trip through the past months and see what I've been up to!!!
I did this challenge for Sue's Snap Shot in Time for the LYL challenge... 
I completed this LO for Cindy's March Bling and Sparkle Challenge (Bling is obvious, and stickles added to the flower border on the right although hard to se).
Kimberly also challenged me to do a LO of white on white and this is end result and I love it.
I love how this one turned out.
I Glimmer misted (Candy Apple) the chipboard swirls and letters, man I just love this stuff, they letters were not quite dry when I had to take the photo, and I noticed they weren't quite straight.
This is my layout using the Feb kit for the challenge.
The photo does not do this LO justice, it looks so much better IRL, but the lighting is off here and the weather doesn't permit photo taking outside.
I love teal and red, and this was so up my alley. I also combined this with a challenge to use 5 different products that I was sent.
5 Products
Red Foil Hearts (top corner)
Circle & Oval Glass Chips
Chipboard Buttefly
Red Gingam Ribbon (used as Antenna)
Fancy Pants Overlay - I cut out a glittered circle and used it in the center of the butterfly.
I love this month's stamp and it worked so perfectly on the teal pp, I distressed the edges to give it a worn letter look, and I have some of my dh's poems that he has written me a few over the years tucked in behind the c/s.
I also used Cotton Candy stickles on the pink pp to trace around the blossoms and glimmer misted the butterfly with frost and jazz blue.
This LO was fun to do, I started one night when my gfs were over and I was trying to decide on a title and one of my gf came up with the wrestlemania... then the rest just fit. I had to girly it up though and although I am not a fan of birds, the ones in this paper are very cute.
I really love this layout and the colors I used for it. I am undecided if I want to put a title on it or not, my dh asked if it was done, and said it looked like it was missing something. I was going for the simple look.
This is of Rylee on her 4th birthday, she had a PINK paper doll party and had so much fun.
This LO was created for a challenge where we were given the following items:
Maya Road Sheer
Ribbon
flower Paper
Grungeboard arrow
chipboard flower
I converted the arrow and the flower into a candle for the cupcake., painted, the glues down the pink seed beads, and then glossy accented the cupcake top. It looks so cool IRL.
This LO was for the Scrap Tag Challenge, thanks Jennifer for the inspiration!!!
I love this LO of my two girls setting out the milk, cookies and a can of coke, they saw the Coca Cola commercial, and Grandpa thought Santa might like it 
...
I used this Deco Art Snow Tex stuff and some pink glitter on the Grungeboard swirl... I LOVE IT!!!!
This photo doesn't give you the dimension, but you can get an idea.
What a fun challenge this was...
Something Old: Button Just below the Photo
Something New: - My Mind's Eye Christmas Paper
Something Borrowed: Glimmer Mist Pine and Auburn to color the cream Prima Flowers
Something Blue: SU! Blue Felt Flurry
My two lovely daughter's last year on Christmas Morning just after Mass. I loved these jackets the minute I saw them, and couldn't resist. When I saw this photo, I was reminded of Christmas Carollers, so when I found the My Mind's Eye Paper with the We Wish You a Merry Christmas on it, I knew exactly what I was going to do... create a song book. I Love how this turned out and of course all the BLING!!!
Close Up of the Glimmer Misted Flowers (I need to get some of this stuff!!!)
I loved this challenge, I got my SS gift done and love how it turned out. The Christmas Planner is made from a standard sized file folder. I love this new BG line and love how these two items turned out, I hope my SS loves them just as much. (Look at this, I even get to taunt my SS with this post).
Here is my LO for the 2nd round of the Scrap lift Tag Challenge. What a great challenge it was and I happen to love the way this LO turned out. I don't like birds, but these were cool, I painted them, then flocked them. The SCRIBLZ title was a bit tricky, I had to cut part way through the backing so it would keep the spacing and curve the way I wanted.
I found I am a wee bit tree challenged and spent most of my time trying to get this right, so I decided to skip the trees top and use flowers and buttons.
This LO was a lot of fun to do, although this was a challenge for me. I started with the Zune ad, but as I was working and looking at the ads, I found my LO was transforming into it's own design which was being influenced by the Vespa Ad. I loved how the center of the ad was the focus and that the words and swirls were pulled out from the photo. This is where my LO was created and I love the end rseult.
I've popped up the photo and most of the embellishments are attached to the layout by means of the photo as the brown corrugated card stock, does in fact pull out and the journaling is on the back side of it.

Boys Will Be Boys…
I don't think I fully understood this saying until you were born. I grew up with 3 brothers and they were rough, tuff boys always getting into things, but I had my own life and was so busy doing my own things that I didn't pay that much attention to how different we really were. So other then the physical difference between boys and girls, I didn't really understand how different you were going to be until this summer when you started to become more independent and less of a baby. Wow, I sure had an awakening, especially when the girls were gone for most of the summer and you had all my attention. I loved playing with you, but my ankles and knees have never been as bruised as they were after spending an afternoon of play time with you. There was no cute baby and Mom cuddle time, you were on the go and didn't want to stop and pause, there was too much world out there to explore and explore it you did.
Your sister being such a tom boy as she is, still didn't prepare me for what life was going to be like. You love to throw things, any thing and every thing you can get you hands on and if you have it in your right hand, we have a fighting chance, but left handed we are in trouble, you have a deadly throw and I've been the target on more then one occasion. Your sister who also loves playing with blocks and cars, loves to play tractors with you, and it is wonderful to watch the two of you play, but I have to chuckle as I once thought she was aggressive with her toys and boy was I ever wrong. I love watching you play with your toys; there is such a determination in you to unengineer it all. Your Dad and I were so proud of you when we had turned one of your toys off (those blasted things make so much noise), and having watched your Dad, as soon as you got the tractor back and realized we turned off the motor, you flipped it over and tried to turn the switch back on.
I am reminded just how much of a boy you really are when I saw this photo wearing the outfit your Uncle bought you. The leather jacket, the denim jeans with the chain, you are such a little boy and I am very blessed to have you in my life. So although I am still a new Mom in the kingdom of Boys, I am looking forward to all the times we will have so I can learn what the infamous saying Boys Will Be Boys is all about.
