•Scrappy, scrappy!

Happy Monday morning everybody!

Earlier this week, I submitted for the Unity Scrapbook Design Team! I am still waiting to see if I made it or not, but thought I'd share one of the layouts I did for my submission!First off, I'm going to explain the title, "Where Are Whoo?" The DP I used is Sassafrass Lass and it has an owl theme, so that is where the "whoo" instead of "you" came from. I showed my mom the LO and she asked me about that and so did Kolby when I showed him, so I figured I'd start off by explaining that! :D As for the rest of the LO. The arrow and the journaling card (in the pocket) you see is from Unity's Our Life, Our Stories scrapbooking kit and the tree is from the November Kit of the Month! I colored it with Copics and stamped it on Papertrey Ink's Stamper's Select White CS. I stamped the arrow using Riding Hood Red ink and stamped it on Buttercup CS. I stamped the journaling card in Chocolate Chip ink and it is also stamped on Buttercup CS. I also stamped the Worn Grid Background you see behind the photo onto Buttercup CS and stamped it in Chocolate Chip. I used Chocolate Chip CS for the pocket and Ocean CS for the title! The ribbon you see on the White Daisy Eyelet is from Wal-Mart!

The other LO I used for submission can be seen HERE.

So my next LO is one I did over the weekend. I've been feeling pretty scrappy lately if you can't tell! :D
For this page, I used Sassafrass Lass' Serendipity Paper Packet! I also used this week's sketch from Triple the Sketch! (with a few minor adjustments of my own :D) The base of the page is Kraft CS, I used Unity's Giggle Grove set for the trees at the bottom of the page and the journaling box is from Unity's Sept. Kit of the Month! The journaling reads: "you love going and seeing your Uncle Jarret and Uncle Kyler. You are always so happy and playful when you are with them and they love you so much!" The ric-rac you see is CTMH and you can't tell in the picture, but I stitched on the upper right and lower left hand corners of the page and the pictures!

So that is all I have for now. I have a busy week, as I'm sure most of you do, so I'm not sure how much more I will be posting! But I will be sure and post pictures from Christmas if I don't post before then!

Blog Header!

Do you like my new blog header? De made it for me! Isn't she awesome?! Thank you so much De!

Well I've been a little busy lately. This end-of-the-year-business-crap is kinda getting to me. There is sooo much to do!

I've also been working on some layouts for the Unity Stamp Co. Scrapbook Design Team! I am sooo excited, but soooo extremely nervous! So our submissions have to be in by tomorrow and we are hoping to find out by the 23rd, so we'll see.....keep your fingers crossed for me........

Well that is about it for now! Hope you like the new header! THANKS DE!

• Please do!

....Wake me when it's Christmas, that is! I am so ready for Christmas, but soooo tired! So, please, just wake me when it gets here! :D

As you can tell, I finally made it down to my stamp room! And I FINALLY got to ink up a stamp set from My Favorite Things! Isn't it so cute?! The stamp set is called Merry Christmas and I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I used DP from SU!'s Frosty Day packet! I used Ripe Avocado, Chocolate Chip, and Tangerine Tango Cs. The image is stamped on PTI Stamper's Select White! I ran the base through the Textile Texture Embossing Folder and mounted the images with Dimensional Adhesives!

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! Have a great rest of the weekend! Monday I will be gone for a doctor's appointment! I will post ultrasound pics of the little peanut when I get back!

• I know! Where have I been?

Not stamping! That is for sure! And it's driving me cu-razy!

So, obviously I have absolutely nothing to share with you guys, but I just wanted you to know I am still kickin'! :D

If, like me, you are totally in the Christmas baking spirit, go check out my girl, Bakerella! She has some Christmas-y things going on her blog! I think I'm going to give her little ideas a shot!

Have a great rest of your Friday and a great weekend! I think I'm going to get to do some stamping tomorrow, so definitely be watching out for it! ~toodles!~

• I can't keep a secret......

HEY THERE!

So, many of you have probably been wondering where the heck I've been? I've been kinda busy with Thanksgiving and catching up on a huge swap. Plus, I'VE BEEN FIGHTING MORNING SICKNESS! Yes, you read right.....last week I found out I am prego. I wasn't going to say anything until I went to the doctor and got my first ultrasound, but I am lame at keeping secrets. So I think I'm around 5 weeks, but my morning sickness just started and it is lasting through the afternoon, not to mention I am exhausted....I thought that part didn't start until waaaay later on? I have to tell you the truth, though. I'm not real excited, yet. I don't know why? It's not that I don't want another kid, but I didn't think it would happen so quickly...... so, obviously it was a huge surprise! Maybe after I go to my first appt. I will be more excited........

Well I do have some stuff to post, but somehow my camera got left on over the weekend, so I have no charged battery, yet.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Mine was ok. I probably gained around 2o pounds, but the food was well worth it! ;)

•Laughing my butt off....

I don't remember where I first saw this video, but you HAVE to watch it! It's 6 MINUTES long, so take a seat and enjoy a good laugh!
**Go the the bottom of my blog and turn the music off first!**

• HiP hOp HaNgOvEr FrIdAy!

TGIF! UGH! This week drug on for me! I'm so glad it's over!

Did anybody go see Twilight last night? I didn't. I don't even think it was playing at either of our two theaters! NO TELLING! I want to see it so badly. I am hoping that when it does get here, Kolby will go with me. When he asked what I was reading (when I couldn't keep my nose out of the books...I don't read all that much.....) and I explained to him what it was all about, he looked at me like I was losing it! :) TeeHee....so I might need to make a movie date with a girlfriend or something b/c I think it's going to be like pulling teeth to get him there! :)

Oh yeah.....my project. :) This week, I FINALLY did a scrapbook page! I am so proud of myself! I'm not too crazy about the way it turned out, but since it's only my 5th page ever doing, I will give myself SOME credit. AND I used stamps from my FAVORITE stamp company in the whole world! Can you guess which one?!

So here it is. Like I said, I'm not too crazy about it. I think I did too much distressing, or I used too much Pacific Point ink. I should've used black or something...... The title reads, "I'll love you...4ever....." then the journaling says (on the side of the picture) ".....I"ll like you for always...." (on the right side top) "........as long as I'm living....." (right side bottom) "......my baby you'll be...."

Stamps Used: Unity Sept. KOM, Worn Grid Background
Ink: SU! Pacific Point, Copics
Paper: CTMH White Daisy, SU! Rainbow Sherbert DP, Pacific Point CS, Green Galore CS, Blush Blossom CS
Accessories: Cricut and Cartridges, Fabri-Tac, Dimensional Adhesives

Has anyone ever read that book? It's called "Love You Forever." It's a little kid's book, but it was one of my favorites when I was little. If you don't know what I'm talking about....the book talks about....here's a little excerpt:

"The baby grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was two years old, and he ran all around the house. He pulled all the books off the shelves. He pulled all the food out of the refrigerator and he took his mother's watch and flushed it down the toilet. Sometimes his mother would say, "this kid is driving me CRAZY!"

But at night time, when that two-year-old was quiet, she opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor, looked up over the side of his bed; and if he was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. While she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be."

Cute, huh? It goes on talking about how he grew and grew and she would go in his room and do the same thing. Then when he is grown, he comes home and she is old and sick and he rocks her and says, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my MOMMY you'll be....." So that is where I got the idea from. My son is walking now and, as expected, getting into everything! So it really does explain a mother-son relationship. Especially since MOST BOYS are MAMA'S BOYS!

• BeLlA sKeTcH cHaLlEnGeS 54 & 55!

Happy Thursday everyone! And HIP-HOP to the Unity peeps! If you don't know what Unity or Hip-Hop is...go HERE

So today I have last week's Bella Sketch Challenge (#54) and this week's 55th sketch challenge!

The first one is #54. For this card I used Clover Meadow and Sunny Yellow CS. The image is Tinkerbella and is stamped on PTI Stamper's Select White and colored with Copics. The glitter on the wings is Martha Stewart.


My card for this week's sketch challenge is probably a favorite right now. I used Emmybella for the image and stamped her in Archival Black and colored her with Copics. She's stamped on PTI Stamper's Select White. The sentiment is from MFT's E-Girl set and is also stamped in Archival Black onto SSW. I used Pale Plum, Certainly Celery, and Pretty in Pink CS. The DP is Basic Grey Euphoria. The ribbon is from Pebbles Inc.


So that is all for right now. Stay tuned for some Hip Hop Unity Challenges!!!!

• This is what I get, for not posting all week! LONG POST!

So I did stamp this week, I was just too lazy to post it! So here goes!

Last week I did a week long of Unity on my blog. I made these cards also, but was going to post them on Friday....obviously that didn't happen! The first card is for Bella Sketch Challenge #54 and the other card is for Bella's Favorite Stamper Challenge #1. We had to CASE one of Vicki's (giffysk8) cards from her gallery!



So for this week: here is Bella Sketch Challenge #54 and some Papertrey Ink cards. I used Amber's sketch on the owl one. I just got these stamps in, so I was very excited to use them!





Which brings us to today.......this is my card for Hip Hop Hangover Friday! I did get to Hip Hop for just a few minutes last night and had total fun doing so! If you didn't get to Hip Hop yesterday, be sure and take a look at all the Unity DT goodies they have on their blogs! They did so amazing this week!
