Hello Again!

Yes I am still here the break in the action was me hitting the deadline wall on my Copic Coloring 3 class.  I am happy to report that all writing and photos are turned in and that videos are being filmed and edited this weekend.  In the midst of the quiet we celebrated John’s birthday.  We woke up to signs all over the house colored by the girls and a lovely paper crown for the birthday boy.

We opened a few gifts had a good lunch with my wonderful friend Brenda, dropped Lori at a Girl Scout sleepover at the zoo and bought a new computer (long story).  All in all a pretty nice day spent all together.

The weekend before that I managed to squeeze in a Saturday crop.  The last time I got to just do layouts was back in October so I gotta tell you it was pure heaven. I did not accomplish anything fancy but after finishing two sample project ideas I managed to complete 17 pages.  Here are a couple of them.  Nothing fancy but yeah for scrapping!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lastly if you made it all the way to the bottom I am hoping you will let me know what you think of this!  This is some playing for my next class at Creative Passion.  SO EXCITED!!!  I really do want to know what you think! Please 🙂

Hugs!

I decided to play with the set “Line Frames
I created a card using the circle frame.  I made a card base of cardstock, added one layer of patterned paper.  I then colored the circle frame with Copics, I cut out the center and used patterned paper to fill it then added it to one corner of the card.  I trimmed the edges and then adhered the scraps to other edges of the card.
Next I used the same set and created a layout.  this set lends itself to scrapping so i could not resist.  Again I colored the frames with Copics and filled their centers, this time with photos.
I hope you’re feeling inspired! Before you hop over to Charlene Cundy  blog, remember to leave a comment for your chance to win!

Hi all! Well I have emerge from my cave! My class is done, art work complete, classes written and photographs taken. All submitted. Horribly behind my normal timely-ness I locked myself in my office the past couple days and got it done. So sorry Debbie!

Now I am realizing a whole month has gone by and although I have taken about 300 photographs every single one of them has been staring down at a table with art work on it. My “One Month At a Time” layout will be looking pretty unusual for the month of September. And yet we have been busy! Lots of fun little things, Sara ran in a mile run for school both in PE but also in a little cross country fun day (she did great by the way a mile in about 11.5 minutes not to bad for my girly girl!) we went to Living History Farms for a gorgeous day outside. Swimming, diving, girl scouts started up, new boots for the girls and today feathers in their hair. Oh yeah we are the trendy ones at our house. Except we bought the kit and did them ourselves instead of paying the salon. Very fun. All in all good times.

Here are a couple more layouts from last weekend. The first is another from last Thanksgiving what a great trip! We are looking forward to Arizona again this year!


Here is a layout from our Chicago trip last year I just realized what a horrible job i did shooting the layout but you get the feel. Girls way up high on the sky deck! I actually posted the original shots around this time last year.


Hugs to all!
