Just a Quickie....

Just wanted to stop by today to drop off a few layouts that I finished but never blogged about. I have so loved digging back into my scrap supplies and preserving memories that will last forever.

This first one is of my niece, Madisyn. Such an awesome moment catching her so unaware. Here I gessoed some dots with a stamp and used a new stamp from Prima for added texture. The papers are all Simple Stories. Just goes to show you can grunge up and distress almost any paper line. I love the measuring tape ribbon from Maya Arts and all flowers are Prima.

This next one is one of my absolute faves!!!!! It is of my beautiful mother! I used my Jan. kit from Swirlydoos plus some added embellishments that I already had in my stash. I completely love the finished result.

This last one is of my gorgeous youngest son. I used a line I found made by Jillibean Soup that was geared towards men. Added some stamped dots and texture in the background along with some sprays made by Lindy's Stamp Gang...love that stuff. No flowers were added but I am still happy with how it turned out and so was Caleb:)

That's all for now. I hope you have a wonderful Sunday. I am currently in West Monroe, Louisiana spending our spring break with all of my family. Are you a Duck Dynasty fan???? If so, I am proud to say that they are from my hometown. You may think they are some crazy rednecks but they are some rich crazy rednecks so they must be doing something right. Did you know that Phil has a Master's Degree from Louisiana Tech and Willie also has a 4 year degree in business so that he could take over the business. Just a little tid bit of information if you are a fan....or not.

Ok, now I'm leaving....going to see Oz with my momma and my sister and my daughter....Girls Night. Hugs and lots of love to all of you!!!!!!

Sketchabilities #64 and More....

Sorry this is late....I have been lost in my kindle. Over the last several days I have read the entire "Hunger Games" series. Oh, it is just so spectacular and riveting and full of twists and turns. It is the best series I have read since the "Twilight" books!

Ok, on to scrappier things!!!! Sketchabilities is back with a fabulous reveal!!!! Here is my take on this awesome sketch....

 Now, I hope you take the opportunity to go here to check out the rest of the design teams creations.

Here are a few layouts I also wanted to share. I have been working at my table quite a bit...working with older lines and kits that I have been holding on to. Since I am no longer working with a kit club I find myself with plenty of time on my hands to just scrap. Surprisingly, it has been really nice to just scrap with no deadlines. 

 This is made with Jillibean Soup's "Sweet and Sour" line. My title is in honor of my son's favorite book. Landon has already called dibs on the book "Love you Forever". He says he wants to read it to his children one day. Awwwwww, makes my heart go pitter pat!!!!

This layout is made with Bo Bunny's "Crush" line. Caleb thought it was a little too "Girly" for him but I explained to him that he is boy enough to handle a little pink. LOL!!!! He's such a hoot!!!!! Thus the owl!!!!!

This last layout is made with Bella Blvd's "Making the Team" line. I just loved this picture of Abigail during her Fun Run for the schools in our area. This occasion has inspired her to sign up for Cross Country next year. I can't believe my baby girl is going into the 7th grade!!!! Sigh!!!!! Life goes by so fast!!!!!! Thank God for pictures!!!!! Hope all of you are having a beautiful day!!!! Hugs to all of you!

New Stuff...

Greetings from Louisiana!!!!! I made it into town yesterday evening and am recooping from the long drive. It rained just about the whole time so I still have remnants of a headache still lingering. Believe it or not, I brought absolutely nothing in regards to scrapping. I figured there was so much to do and so little time to do it. Aside from the fabulous Thanksgiving dinner we will be having, my mom and I will be going into Tigerland on Friday to see the LSU/Arkansas game. Then on Saturday, we are going to tour a plantation home!!!! This will be one of the first trips that will be just me and my mom.....I am sooooo excited!!!!!

Now for the new stuff....I recently ordered one of the new lines from Echo Park and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I had these new pictures I took of my hubby and they were perfect for these papers. Here's what I did.....

 

See what I mean....Perfect combo!!!! Next I finally pulled out my Jillibean Soup kit from The ScrapRoom and played with it. I just love this new line from JS and I think I am going to have to order more....am I tempting you to shop yet????? LOL!!!!! Here is my layout.....

That's all from me today!!!! I wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!! If you are interested, I am having a Black Friday party over at my Scentsy website. (I have a quick link at the top of my blog) Remember, Scentsy can make perfect Christmas gifts and you can shop from your seat and not on your feet!!!!! Just go to my website and click on "Black Friday Party" to begin your order. Have a fabulous day!!!!!
