Hello Hello! Yes I have been busy coloring! I am having fun with my markers. I was getting my February One Month At a Time for February. In the meantime I found a couple more Michelle Perkett images that I “needed”. He He! So I combined the two and added some ribbon and lace for another challenge over at the Michelle Perkett challenge blog. It is so much fun to find new communities of crafters that enjoy some of the same things I do.

Here is a close up of the copic coloring and colors I used. I also colored the ribbon, lace, and straight pins, so they would match perfectly.

This weekend the Houghton Grandparents are in town and we are going to have a grand time. Possibly a zoo trip and lots of hugs and laughs. The weather looks like it might cooperate for some time outside over the next few days so we will take full advantage.

Hugs all!

One more week down. Lots of business here this week. I subbed a couple extra classes and worked some extra hours at the YMCA. Girls are itching to get out side and spent two afternoons this week testing the temperatures after school. Amazing when you live in an area with bitter cold winters how great mid-thirty temperatures feel. I got lots of writing done this week. For both my local Club Copic and the next tutorial for Get It Scrapped. We have cranked the tutorials up there to two a month, we’ll see how long I can keep on top of those :-). I am still loving all of it though! Here is a couple more pages from last weekends crop. I really did enjoy myself!

Yeah for scrappy weekends! So the plans almost fell apart when John got sick Friday, really sick and spent the entire day sleeping and emptying his stomach. BUT being the AMAZING husband he is and having the two very best girls in the world i still got to go to half of my all day crop. Saturday I took the girls to the pool, Sara diving and Lori swimming we stopped at McDonalds on the way home and then I loaded up and headed to scrapping at about 2. In about 7 and a half hours I finished 16b pages! Woo Hoo! And going back through them I really like them too! I even had a 17th page in the works when I packed up so i finished that one yesterday, here it is…

I cut the trees out of a patterned piece of paper which took just a second or two, needless to say my friends wondered why I started this one with about 20 minutes to go… no good answer there but it is done now! 🙂
This next one is just a favorite, love how it turned out.


We kept Sunday pretty low key with everyone napping after church and lunch out. And today we were all back to our regularly scheduled programs. John is feeling 100% and girls are getting excited for the upcoming month and warmer weather!

Next couple of posts I will share a sneek peek at a canvas project I have been working on and a couple more layouts.

Hugs all!

So this week has been a little hectic again with extra to-dos and meetings so I realized I was a little off posting here. I just completed this layout last week for a new tutorial over at Get It Scrapped. I think it turned out pretty cute!
This Saturday I am off to a crop so I will have lots of fun pages to share I am sure. Hopefully complete a few challenges as well.
Girls are early release today so I am off to get them!

Hugs to all.

I have to say I love how these layouts turned out! I found the monkey paper and had to have it then wasn’t sure what to o with it. Had the sketches from Sassy Lil Sketches and was not sure what to do with them but it all came together. Always fun to make messes with spray ink as well he he.
The next few weeks are a little crazy so I am not sure on completeing challenges but I always seen to squeeze in a few minutes here and there. Next weekend I am teaching in Lincoln, Nebraska woo hoo and I have my local Copic group this coming week. I am helping in Sara’s room this week and next so I am at a dead run these days but hanging on so far.
Girls are great they played on top of our 6 foot mountain the other day. Yes we got hit HARD with the snow. Praying for better weather next weekend for sure!

Happy Friday all!
Hugs
