So Tell Me Your Story….
1 Comment   book of me, scrapbooking
Today I checked in at So Tell Me Your Story: All About Me Challenge Blog and this months challenge is to do a LO based on some thing(s) that came true for you in 2008. Thinking back, this has been kind of a gloomy year for us but one thing for me personally really shined through. Since moving here 5 years ago I have never really been able to find a friend. Its been kind of lonely and hard in...

While we've only just reviled this to our family I feel the need to vent and bring it out into the open. I usually just post my scrap LO's here and I know I don't get alot of visitors BUT it'll make me feel a bit better.We are being foreclosed and probably will have to be out of the house by the New Year.Sigh.We are doing Christmas here so it can stay as normal as possible for the kids but after...

Its true love…

This LO is based on the love affair my son has with his Tonka Truck. We got it at an antique fair. We were on our way back to the car and passing the last stand when my hubby spotted it. My daughter had a toy already (bought by her Grammy) and we hadn't anything for him. But lo' and behold! :) It wsn't sure about it for a while after we got home but after a couple days its been true love ever...

This LO was inspired by a wonderful blog called Sketch This! I had been eye balling this weeks sketch since last week and I just got my pics in the mail today and BAM it just kinda fell in place.

Happy November!

I've been SOOOOOO busy (kids being sick, hubby being stubborn work getting busier and busier, hanging out with friends when I can etc etc etc) but I've managed to keep plugging away. I'm trying to try new things with my LO's. I 99% of the time start out with a plain cardstock BG but I tried pp with my latest BOM page. It made me nervous in the beinging (literally, I almost tore it back apart)BUT...

New Book of Me LO
0 Comments   art, book of me, girl, scrapbooking
This LO was especially hard because I don't consider myself in anyway beautiful in the traditional sense and being nice to myself is hard. I think the LO turned out really well and the journaling, while taking forever to get going was therapeutic. I think I rambled more than a bit though. I'm going to have to get back into doing this more often.The green pp is basic grey sultry collection the...

Something a little different
2 Comments   art, girl, layout, scrapbooking
Well, kinda. I'm not a big user of yellow in my LO's but I saw this really GREAT LO on 2peas that made me want to give it another shot. I love the way it turned out and its kinda inspiring me to use it in more of my LO's. BTW, dd looks totally upset in most of the pics but within 2 minutes she was right in there with the rest of us LOL!!! TFL!!!

Halloween Card
2 Comments   card, card making, scrapbooking
Before joining a Scrapping group on cafemom I hadn't really expanded into making cards. Needless to say I'm finding it tough. I'm not really sure if they are up to snuff. Everyones looks SO nice and, I know I am my own worst critic, but I'm not sure if mine are as good. Not to mention the fact that my HL and M's doesn't really have anything for Halloween paper :P . I ended up just using...

Book of Me Title Page
4 Comments   art, book of me, me, scrapbooking
I started working on my Book of Me. The biggest hurdle has been getting over having my picture taken. 2 kids, being married, time and all the things that has come with it has made it not so very wonderful for me. Its getting better. I'm getting some decent pics. I like the idea that my kids will have this someday to look at and know their momma a little better. But here is my title page. TFL!!!
