Quick one!

Morning all!


Well, I worked late last night and I'm off to work again this morning, but that's really of my own doing. I was scheduled to work tomorrow, but George was asked to come in for a few hours, so one of the girls at work was nice enough to switch with me! We're going to have a busy weekend, but George is off Monday and then Tuesday is the holiday for Remembrance Day.

I'm posting a layout I did a couple of weeks ago for the "So You Think You Can Scrap" contest at YMBD. Sorry to say that Catherine actually had to cancel it because there appeared to be some unfortunate gathering of votes when that was not the way the contest was laid out. Sorry it had to end, but I understand. Anyway, this was my last entry and the idea was that we had to use some shape other than a circle or square as the background of our layout, so as you can see, I used a star! This was totally out of my comfort zone, but it was fun!

Supplies: Cardstock is Bazzill. Star paper is Creative Imaginations. Patterned paper is Sassafrass. Misc ribbon and brads. Lettering is Doodlebug. Tickets and felt man are from September Scrapperie Battle of the Sexes kit.

Guess that's about it since I need to get moving here! I'm hoping to be able to do something creative in the next few days as well! Have a fabulous Scrapdango kit I'm playing with right now!

Have a great day!!
Cheers,

Contest Layout

OK, well as some of you have already seen from my previous post about voting in the "So You Think You Can Scrap" Contest at YMBD, I made it through to Round #3 with the layout above. The challenge was to scrap a layout in the colours of our favourite flavour of ice cream as the main colours and mine is Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, so there you have it. I'm hoping to make it through to the next round too! I'll post that layout once the voting is done!

And just a reminder that at Scrapperie, for the rest of October, if you order the new Apple Orchard kit (or the October Hocus Pocus kit, featuring papers from My Little Yellow Bicycle and Making Memories), Sandi will donate 30% of all proceeds to the American Cancer Society, via Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. It's just a little something she wants to do to help give back and hopefully one day, to help find a cure.

Just a reminder about the crop this weekend at WeScrap too! Come and join us for some wickedly good fun!

Cheers,

Catch-up and a new layout...

Supplies: Scalloped paper is Bazzill. Patterned paper is Daisy D's and MME. Journaling sticker is Daisy D's. Other stickers are 7Gypsies. Lettering is Pink Paislee. Misc ribbon. Pen is an American Crafts Slick Writer.

I got out one of my old Scrapperie kits (October 2007's Indian Summer) this afternoon and played a little. This picture was sitting on top of the stack and I thought I knew what this layout was going to be about, but it took on a life of it's own! I got inspired by some of the stickers/labels in the kit and it went in another direction, but one I was enjoying! I had actually planned on this being a layout for a stash challenge at YMBD, but I added the Pink Paislee (new) lettering right at the end! Oh well! Just have to do another stash layout!

It was a crazy busy weekend this past weekend! I worked Thursday night, Friday night until midnight and then all day Saturday and Sunday! The store had their annual weekend crop this weekend, so it was fun, but busy!

George had yesterday off, so it was a chance for us to see a bit of each other. We did have to take the car in for brakes though and I was on preschool duty in the afternoon. I had planned on going to bed early, but got my second wind and ended up watching The Bachelor! Yes, I got sucked in again! Who do you think he'll pick??

For those of you that have been keeping my grandma in your thoughts, thank you! She was finally moved to a rehabilitation center and will be getting speech therapy as well as physical rehabilitation there. It's still just a day at a time and we're hoping that she make some real improvements!

Well, I'm off to Tracy's here shortly so I can run our taxes through her program and just get them done. I've never done them this late before!! Oh well, they'll get done!

Have a great evening!
Cheers,
