~Happy 4th of JUly~

It should be a fun day here in Nashville. I think we will be staying home and lighting off fireworks.
I live with 4 BOYS! I mean could I have more pyros in the house??!! Hahaha

OK instead of showing my recent scrapping like I do every day I thought I would show this video I follow.
It is called Fat Girl Diary....and Amy, well she rocks!! She says what every plus sized girl is thinking but doesn't say....well I do say it but most don't feel comfortable saying stuff like this!
Check it out! Especially if you plus sized. You can also go check into her other videos on youtube!

~Card Makin~

We have our first Card Challenge in the new Card Section of Just Scrappin'
This is the card I entered for the sketch challenge. For some reason i cannot get the dimension to show up, but I actually like this card! Most times I am iffy on my cards but this one was fun!

I can't wait for later this month when we get out Card Kit from Kelly! And host the sponsored contest!

Its a beautiful day in Tennessee, not too hot and not too cold. So far I am really impressed with the comfortable weather here. Virginia last summer was almost 120 every day! Nice to be out of that heat! Have a beautiful day my friends and thanks for visiting my blog!

~Scrappin' Fool~

Just Scrappin's Crop came to an end yesterday and Treasured Scrapbooking's new month of challenges began. So I went crazy Scrapping yesterday!!!!!! It was a good crafting day! I set aside sewing and work, and even the house and just scrapped.

I did get up and make zucchini bread and muffins in the morning but besides that I just crafted most of the day and ended up getting 3 Layouts done!

Then This morning I had to choose winners for the crop! Oh man how hard was that??!! UGH...I hate not having a million dollars for prizes LOL

Its a good day in Tennessee and the sun is shining and I am smiling, now off to make the boys some breakfast. sometimes I wish I had a feeding trough with how these boys eat!

I am hoping to get some more homemade bread made and maybe some banana bread for the new neighbors too! Have a beautiful day y'all! *over and out*

~Just Add WATER~

So many things going on this month in Just Scrappin' including a sponsored KIT *clickme* contest! Yea I am so excited for that! Plus new challenges and other fun stuff going on.

Here is a Layout I did lastnight. In doing the other Love Note Layout I missed one challenge I was going to do...Oh well que sera sera! (:

This one is of the boys playing outside with the hose, they crack me up! Gage who is almost always naked, he was born a nudist I swear! And who knew a hose and some water could be so much fun!

~REAL Love Notes~

I have challenges to complete and other Layouts to do, but I was switching purses yesterday and came across these little LOVE notes. From my son Justice. Every time we go to a restaurant or have a wait at the DMV or anywhere, he asks for pen and paper and writes me little ""Love Notes".
My heart us always touched by these but coming across so many in my purse even Ice Cream Cone papers! I was in love all over again!
So I put away all challenges and just scrapped my heart to tell you the truth.

And it felt wonderful and I showed him the page and we smiled and he showed me how he did not remember some of them and we talked about his old drawings....

Now THAT my friend is Scrapbooking 100%~

~TeaBag Folding~

I am NOT a fan of teabag folding, I always feel like it is just not my style. So when I was presented with the challenge to make a card using teabag folding I nearly fell off my chair! LOL
Almost as bad as making me adhere to a sketch or traditional scrapbooking! I just have hard time doing it!
But I pulled my self off the floor and thought I would try it with some cool Cosmo Cricket Rustic paper and I am pretty happy with the way it turned out!! I might even *gasp* do it again sometime...not any time soon mind you but I might actually do it again! Hahaha

~Cosmo CRicket~

I have not been feeling well but I got a box of warehouse sale goodies yesterday from Cosmo Cricket and let me tell you I found some MOJO!
I had been wanting to do something with these PostCards Andrew got me on his trip to Nashville. So I finally scrapped them and these pictures from Texas in 2006!! I have wanted to scrap forever now!
The stars are all hand cut and I had fun with them!

Yea for new scrappy goodies and some inspiration! Now I should go in the garage and dig out pictures!

~Its the beginning of our 4 day CROP on Just Scrappin'~

Recognize some of these?? Cosmo Cricket Love Notes papers and Stamps too boot?! Well they are all prizes at our 4 days crop at Just Scrappin! The flourish stamps are gone and the Leave it to Weaver punch! But there are plenty of goodies left!
This is going to be fun!!


Oh and check out my latest find for MYSELF! LOL I got these Stamps for 5.00 at Hobby Lobby this week! I am so excited!

~Hoo's Bird-Day is it?~

OK OK , it was yesterday and my poor husband had to work until almost midnight!
The kids were devastated and Andrew was sooo tired. He ate some Taco Bell and went to bed.
Let me tell you birthdays as an adult suck! LOL
You get socks and shorts and go to bed after work. It's not like a worldwide celebration like when your a kid!!
But I did have fun making this card. It could have been alot better but it turned out OK!

~July is going to be Hoppin'~

I challenged myself~

To make a SIMPLE layout, no layering and a bunch of embellishments just a simple Layout.
I think it was fun and simple. I doodled a bit as well and used some Rub-ONS from Kelly's FABULOUS kit I received yesterday!
It was from the BOY Embellishment pack.
I had fun just doing a simple cute Layout It felt fun and funky. I did have to resist the urge to add MORE MORE MORE!!! BWHAHA!
Oh and let's not forget the Beautiful Butterfly which I used as a journaling tag! Aymee sent that to me. IN fact almost everything was given to me the paper was given to me by Cherrie!
Its a beautiful day......

~Croppin' Cherry is Gone~

I have never been to a crop! UNTIL NOW!
I went lastnight and it was a hoot!
It was super cool having real life people see my pages. I felt like a super star to be honest!
It was good to feel my work was adequate enough for people to see in real life!
I had fun and they are planning a monthly crop.
I really liked the girls. They were so much fun and very mellow like me.
I only made one page but I got these Glass round things as a RAK and they ROCK I wish I could put glass on every single page!!!!! OMG I about died over them!
~Good times, good friends, and good fun!~

~The Girls~

Sometimes it's good to get away with the girls only.
This is another page for my sister's album I am making. I am almost done too!
Not much to say today, not feeling really well! Off to a crop!...maybe?!

~Took a break from Scrapbooking!

To bake some Bread! I have not made bread in years not since I was younger. It was so nice and fulfilling to have it all turn out beautifully and do it all myself. It was a refreshing day to say the least.
I started at 6:45am and made French Toast for the kids, then I cleaned all the sheets in the house, then I cleaned the kitchen really well and made 6 dresses!
Then I baked Bread and make a huge BBQ chicken dinner with baked red potatoes!
Let me tell you i was exhausted at the end of the day but it was worth it all.

~Yummy...Yum....NOT~

I did this Layout yesterday, but I don't think anyone understands it LOL
They keep asking me what i was trying to feed my boys. BUT In fact the kids were showing me just how much they LIKED Cake and Ice Cream!! Justice is on the top and he had a GREEN tongue and Gage is on the bottom and he was so slimy I had to change the pictures to B&W to lessen the gag factor LOL
Yes, its all Basic Grey, the new cupcake line. I am addicted to Basic Grey yes I am!
Its a beautiful week here and just 80 as a high. I am lovin' this weather.
Back to work I go.....


OH and one more note, we have EXCITING news on Just Scrappin'

I wanted the card makers to have a place to play I mean not all of us do Layouts every day!
