I’ve been holding onto this layout for a while now. I made it using a sketch that Amanda over at Scrapbook Studio 101 gave the DT to play with. If you’ll notice, I chose to not use a photo on this layout (I know, I know. I should have used one, but, I didn’t have one so there!).
Hope you are having a good weekend.

More details coming when things are in place!
Drawing by Stephanie Ackerman. You should check her out.
We’ve made a little change to the rules so that it is easier for those of you with limited scrappy time to join in! We usually ask that you use all 3 parts of the challenge in your layout to enter, but we decided that some of you simply don’t have time for that! So from now on you can use as many (or as few) as you’d like. We’d love it if you use all 3, but you don’t have to! So here’s the challenge!
Now, here is my layout. I scrapped another old photo (seriously, here lately I keep reaching for the vintage photos!) but this time, its of me and my twin Michael. In this photo we were 1.5 days old. hehehe – we were cute, huh?! I LOVED using Nikki Silvis paper on this layout…the scallop was PERFECT, and the strip added just the right amount of pattern. Nikki was the Design Team’s sponsor this month and honestly, her products rock!
Ok, its late and I still have laundry to fold. And dishes to wash. And I need to take a shower. Thanks for stopping by!

Yep, we’re still here! LOL We are all better from the flu, except for a hacking cough that REFUSES to go away. It could be worse!
Creative Pandemonium has posted a new challenge. You should go play along! The challenge is to use 1 different colors of cardstock, 2 tags, and one photo. I scrapped a photo of John being John! He has this way of folding his arms behind his head…and I love it! I can always spot him in a crowd or on the sideline of a football game because of the way he folds his arms. Cute!
I am getting ready for our HUGE March of Dimes Fundraising Event. It’s called Signature Chef…its a black tie affair where we get to eat gourmet food and bid on auction items. So exceited! Tomarrow is the VIP Party and then Sat is the actual event. We go every year to support the March of Dimes, but this year is extra special because I got to design the event. I am praying that it looks wonderful! I will post pics of Alex and I all dressed up this weekend….

I know, I know. My blog has been kinda slow here lately. After two weeks of the entire family being sick, I am now able to scrap for the first time! Last night, I locked myself in my scraproom and worked on the Whimsical Scraps and Bugs challenge. Here is my page. The photo is from last Halloween, of Ben and John, with their cousin, Patricia. The challenge was to use: 1. purple, black and orange, 2. a stamped image, and 3. 2 stars cut from your cricut machine. Check on all three!
Thanks for stopping by!

This week, I am hosting one of the challenges at Scrapbook Challenges! For my challenge, I want you to create a layout using something vintage (an old photograph, vintage embellishments…). Really, as all as what you use 'just feels’ vintage – even if it isn’t really – you can use it! Here is my layout. I scrapped some old vintage photos of my mom before she got married.
We’re still sick here…Ben still has a fever of 103 (and that’s with Tylenol/Motrin every four hours), and John is starting to get better. Alex and I just have congestion in our chests and coughs…More DR appt this afternoon.
xxoo,
