Color Contest

The page I did for the color contest for Crystal Jeffrey Rieger.




White: My main background
Yellow: My pocket that houses hidden journaling
Red: The pinkish paper with the polka dot thingys. Isn't pink a hue of red? I hope so.
Two Blues: Blue #1 The flowered paper
Blue #2 The felt butterfly from a dollar store! I absolutely love them! Think I may have to go get some more!

It was a great challenge! Thanks Crystal!

Sorry my editing is bad and you can see my carpet in the background.

2 more done!

So, you all know that I've been working on 100 lo's before I go on another shopping spree. Well, I don't know what's going to come first...100 lo's or the baby! Probably the baby, and I did tell hubby that I'd like to go shopping after the baby's born for baby supplies. And, I also told him that for my birthday (which is in October--never too early to say anything right?) That I wanted some type of die-cutting machine. Weather it be the Cricut, or the Cuddlebug (which I'm back to loving that) or the Making Memories Slice. Hmm...can I have all three?....

Anyway, Here are some more lo's I've done for my 100 page lo goal.







So I came across this blog the other day luv2scrappp.blogspot.com and came across that the lady did a 6x12 lo for a challenge. So, being inspired by her...Thank You Jackie G...I decided to try my hand on something different and did my own 6x12 lo. It was fun, and unique. It was also challenging, but not at the same time. Don't know if that makes sense!

Anyway, both lo's were of my cousin Mikayla's 3rd birthday in August of 2007.

And if you've been wondering where I've been...went to MD over the last weekend, been trying to get caught up with things around here, doing some baby laundry, and now trying to work on a newsletter for our church. Pray all goes well with that!

Hope you enjoy the lo's!

Busy Day!

Busy busy day!

My dad is on the way up with an A/C...YAY! Gotta love dads! They're awesome! Maybe my prego feet won't swell so much in the apartment now.

Doctor's appt. @ 3, hopefully some grocery shopping, and then off to Bible study!

I'd share some pictures of my feet, but alas, I think I broke my computer! Hubby will have to fix it when he gets home...or sometime today! So I'm currently making use of his computer.

How is it possible to me so thankful and yet sometimes so frustrated with having an IT guy for a husband?

Anybody need a good IT person?

Have a good one!

Goals

What have I done?

I must admit, I've never one to be selfish or so I thought, until just the other day when I spent more money on some scrapbooking stuff. It wasn't a lot mind. Just enough to make me feel like crap with a baby on the way and finances already tight as they are.

So, since I stalk the CK message board on a regular basis, I came across some people who did a 100 page dash to use your stash. Now, since I wasn't part of this originally, I'm not sure exactly what goes on, but my general assumption is that you aren't allowed to purchase any scrapbooking supplies until you have 100 pages done.

So, since I've been rather selfish in that area, after talking with my husband, he agreed with my new goal, that I gave myself. The only thing allowed for purchase is adhesive, well, because unfortunately I don't keep that on hand. Though I should. Anyway, I have two layouts done so far! Whoo hoo!

Here is the first:

This is from our honeymoon. These are my husband yes...I thought it quite humorous to make him "queen" for the day! I also did this one for a contest on http://useyourstash.blogspot.com/
But I decided on using the one I did for my sisters Bday instead.

The question is now: Will I make it through 100 layouts, or will I cave before then? or even worse...will I run out of paper????

Again,
What have I done?

Hot, Hotter, Hottest...

My mother warned me.

Did I listen?

Don't think so.

Not on purpose though.

I can't help we got pregnant when we did!

So, this is what I did on Saturday!





OOOPPS!!!!

For a challenge

I stumbled across this site/link while scoping the Creating Keepsakes Message Boards.

http://useyourstash.blogspot.com

and I did the challenge. Here is my take on using letter stickers!


This was from my sister Tasha's BDay in November of 2006. The letter stickers that I used spell the word CAKE. I'm not sure what brand anymore, but I know that I bought them at walmart, probably a good 5-6 years ago when I first started scrapbooking!
Journaling says :
"November 2006-Tasha's 21st Bday. Mom, dad, Tracey, Mindi, Wes, Emily, Mikayla, and I all went down to Kutztown to surprise Tasha. Unfortunately she caught on to the fake cake even before trying to cut it."

Yes, a fake cake, made out of foam and decorated to look like a real cake! No one said anything, but she just knew!


I apologize for the somewhat crookedness of the photo. I do not have a scanner to scan pages that big. I do have a regular scanner, but I'm not sure how I would stitch the two pieces together. If anyone knows how, shoot me an email!
