~Tuesday is upon ME~

Boy this week is already full and looking like a non-stop mess!
I was tied to my sewing machine all day yesterday but did manage to make this for Tish in Just Scrappin' It's for the Surprise a friend contest!
Usually puffy paint and my shaky hands don't mix but I am happy with it anyways
I cannot Believe August is already right around the corner!
I need to organize a new BINGO game, and a new challenge and 3 yes THREE new contest for Just Scrappin'!
We have THREE sets of PINK cat STUDIO Stamps to give away!! woohoO!
Have a scrappy day!

~Got my Scrap ON this weekend!~

OK not really but I did scrap these pages! My favorite by far is the WHo Loves YOU! just love the way the Branches popped off the page and everything came together.
Rarely do I scrap a page LOVE but this was one,
Maybe it was the pictures maybe it was the FREAKIN AWESOME Sassafras Lass Papers??!!
At any rate I had a FULL and fun weekend!!
Hope y'all had the same and I am looking forward to August and this week!
Now off to make Christmas CD cards!

Well, as you can see I already scrapped a page for our Chattanooga Train trip! And how fun it was! I loved riding on the old steam train and the boys LOVED IT!
I was so tired when we got home! It was a LONG day! Almost 2 hours each way.

Today I am going to see MAMMA MIA

And Treasured Scrapbooking is in the middle of a crop so I am missing half of that....but scrapping second...LIFE FIRST!
Don't want to miss life because I am scrapping LOL

Will post more Layouts tomorrow, I did some real fun ones Friday Night! I love Scrapbooking!

~Fun Lingerie Cards~

I sure had alot of fun with these cards today! A little Bra and Panty matching Card set! How cute are they and a great way to use lace!
I included a template, You will need to click on it then save then print from your computer to get it the right size! They are super simple and super fun!
The bra card was actually a challenge to make a shaker card for Just Scrappin' so I made the pendant a shaker pendant with pink glitter, I had so much fun making these!
Now off to get my Train Trip packed and ready to go! Have a beautiful Saturday!

~Today She is.....~

Erin at Treasured Scrapbooking and Just Scrappin' gave us a Self Portrait Challenge.
It's so funny I have been struggling this week with self image so this is just what I needed to
put things into perspective and sort of write it all out.
I find Scrapbooking so therapeutic sometimes.
Almost like writing in a diary.
So I did my inner chat that goes on when I see a picture of myself with other people.
I met all those girls in Alabama this weekend and when the pictures came out all i could think of was how much bigger I was then the rest.
It's funny I have fought to not have that loathing in my head for 7 years now. Some days I wonder if it will ever go away.
OK enough Debbie Downer (:
Have a beautiful Thursday and Thanks for the Challenge Erin!

Well I didn't really scrap yesterday but I did chain myself to my sewing machine
and went to town! I got alot done too!
And it paid off, I sold 2 dresses immediately so that made me pretty happy!
Now, I did manage to get one crafty item made

And thought it would be fun to host a Surprise a friend, on Just Scrappin' So I made this for one of the board members and I will be making another one as well!
Plus we have a challenge/contest for everyone else to make a special surprise and send it to a friend on the board! Woot Woot~

At the end not only will we all have a new friend/goody but I will be drawing a name and sending one lucky girl these Paisley Stamps! Fun FUN!

~Good Tuesday Morning!~

Yes, when you have 3 boys and a husband and even a
BOY dog....you live with a bunch of Pyros! LOL
So I finally got around to scrapping some of our 4th of July pictures and all I could think of when I looked at them was....DAD+FIRE=FUN.
You know in Tennessee is legal to have loads of fireworks. I even had little remnants fall on my head in our neighborhood. It was crazy and FUN!
Believe it or not that star paper int he background came off a Christmas SLAB of paper!
So you never know where you will find Paper for any season!
Maybe I will actually use some of that 300 pound slab I made the mistake of buying! hahaha

OHHH and I got a sneak peak from CHA of the newest MUST have item for me!
I showed hubby and he said "Who is getting your other Sizzix?" Hahaha
He just knew I wanted it.
IN fact he asked me why I did not order it yet.
But I am trying to be good right now because I want to take the boys on that Chattanooga Train trip this weekend.
But when it comes out to the public I am sure I will be hunting it out!
Yea for fun Hello Kitty Scrappy Supplies! Made my week!

~Christmas in July?~

So many boards host Christmas in July Contests, well Just Scrappin' is hosting a Christmas in July Card Contest so I made these 4 gift card holders.
While I would LOVE to take the credit for these patterns....alas , I cannot. So here is the link for the patterns to the stockings~ Fun stuff ladies and the perfect length and size for a gift card or money card. I think they would make great cards as well!

~Fun Girly Day!~

What a FUN girly Day! First off Ziggy came over to my house at 9:00am! And we drove to Alabama and man it was so hot there. Let me tell you it was hotter than a witches ***.
We met up with Aymee and Carol at Michaels and did a little shopping. That Micheal's was fair to middling. Not much going on,But I did find some goodies for Cherrie and some Fun RAK'sfor Just Scrappin'.
So off to Target we went, I found some fun things for my boys then we met Kelly and Ann over there.
Then we found ourselves at OCharley's and we had a Picture fest! LOL Plus we shared Layouts and chatted about life, online friends, and good times.
I think Aymee and I wanted to run back to her house and spend two days chatting LOL She was a real peach I think she and Carol are so adorable!
Kelly and Ann had to leave so we drove over to a Scrapbook shop that was closed and we sadly said goodbye. Aymee said she didn't want to go home, neither did I LOL BUt on a Sunday what is a girl to do?? LOL
It was fun and we are DEF. meeting in Chattanooga for the EXPO! And in April for the scrap getaway in Gatlinburg! woot woot!
