Camping Trip

Hello and happy Friday.  Today I am sharing the final LO for our daughter's freshmen year in high school.  One of the school's requirements for graduation is that they attend a week long camping trip.  I tell you we struggled with this requirement since she does not care for extended outdoor activity but she made it and made us proud because we didn't get a call saying we needed to come get her!  The experience was good but I am not sure she'd it again.  I used mostly stickers to embellish the LO and I cut the little fox with the Create-a-Critter. cricut cartridge.  I am so happy to have finally finished documenting some of her school memories from last year!  Take care and thank you for your visit.

Dance LO

Hello and happy Sunday, this weather is wreaking havoc on my sinuses.  Today I am sharing another LO created for my daughter's high school album.  I really like how it came out and it brings me just a little closer to finish her 9th grade LOs.  The LO usues pictures taken as she was dropped off for the homecoming dance, she didn't want me to really go inside.  I cut the dressform and balloons with my Expression,  the letters came from Tuesday Moring and the flowers from Recollections.  I am sharing this LO for the Buttons, Bling and Brads challenge #326 over at Lasting Memories,   Everything used on the LO including the buttons and bling had been in my stash for a while.  Thanking you for your visit,  wishing you and yours a wonderful week.

Coal Ash

Just a few days away from Christmas, I trust that all is well and that you and your family are looking forward to a wonderfully blessed holiday.  Today I am sharing a LO that I put together for our daughter's high school album.  It uses pictures taken last year when the freshmen class did a community presentation on Coal Ash.  I have just a few more LOs and I will be done with her 9th grade year, she is growing up way too fast!  The LO came together quickly as I followed sketch #81 from Sketch N Scrap when I participated in the Rocking Holiday Crop earlier this month that they hosted on facebook.  I used my WeR Memory Keeper Sew Easy Stamper for the stiching,  the My World cricut cartridge and some American Crafts wood veneer arrows.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll come back again soon.

Memory Captured

Hello Wednesday, rain and nice temps in today's forecast.  Today I am back to share a LO that I put together for our daughter's album using this month's sketch#117 from Sketch~N~Scrap for inspiration.  The pattern paper used for the base of the LO came from the DCWV Grade School paper pad, most everything else used has been in my stash for a while with the exception of the camera and gem embellishments.  Our daughter is a Delta Gem, which is a girl's mentoring group for the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, these pictures were taken during a service project earlier this year where they picked up trash on the street adopted by the sorority.  Take care and have a wonderful Wednesday.

Picture Day

Hello and happy hump day,  almost Friday let the weekend begin.   Warmer temps for the next few days!  Not sure what happened with the date on yesterday's post so I decided to post today to try to get back on track,  So what's on tap for your weekend?  I have just one thing planned on Saturday but as usual the teenage daughter always has something to do.  My sister is coming up so I'll go to a football game with her or rather it may be more like we'll tailgate and hangout.  Today I am sharing another LO for our daughter's high school album using her school pictures from last year.  I used various papers and embellishments from my stash including a cut from the Teen Scene cricut cartridge.

Take care and have a wonderful Wednesday.

College Tour

It's Sunday and I feel like I need a nap!  I came in from church, had a snack, put a load of clothes in the washer and added some journaling to a LO.  Yes, a LO is what I am sharing today, it has been a long time, nothing fancy but another picture scrapped.  In April my daughter went to North Carolina with the Delata Gems to visit North Carolina A&T and UNC Greensboro so I scrapped their group picture. Everything used for this LO has been in my stash for a while to include the pattern paper from the Colorbok Old Glory paper pad, the 50 states and CTMH Artiste cricut cartridges, a sticker and some rhinestone stars.  I still need to add names and it will be done, the picture doesn't look too good and the gold writing on the map doesn't show up well.  Now I'm thinking I might need to redo this whole LO.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you will come back soon.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful week!

Tuesday Musings

Hello and happy Tuesday, warmer temps today!  Today is my MIL's birthday and I meant to share her card but I didn't take the picture, I'll have to get a picture once she opens it!  I went to a meeting last night and they just invaded my March and April calendar with way too much stuff.  Today I am sharing another project where my crafting supplies are being used by my daughter for one of her school projects.  I can't remember exactly what it is called but I do know that it was for her Oceanography class.  I cut the title using the Mickey font cricut cartridge, the Xyron sticker maker to adhere it; she used glue dots and my label maker, we had everything that she needed including the board at home; we did have to buy the candy.

Hello February

Hello Monday and welcome to February; let's make it a great day!  Yesterday was my son's birthday and Saturday is my daughter's birthday so we are in a celebratory mood.  We have other family members celebrating their birthday's this month too.  I'm doing a happy dance because I finally got a few LOs done, I didn't finish my challenge for January but I'm hoping to do better this month.  Today I am sharing my daughter's first day of school LO, clean and simple! I used a sheet of Recollections paper for the base with the remaining paper coming from the DCWV High School paper stack.  The back to school circle is a rub-on, the remaining embellishments are stickers from a school pack that I picked up from Hobby Lobby on clearance sometime ago.  

Take care and have a wonderful week!

Lady Falcons

It's Friday and I'm back to share the card that my daughter will find in her lunch box today.  I'll be switching to random mini notes starting next week.   I am sharing this card for the Favorite Team Colors challenge over at Hiding in my Craft Room.  The favorite team being my daughter's volleyball team. I got the falcon from the school's website, found some papers in my stash, punched the circles, hand wrote the sentiment, added some twine and a few sequins and the card was done!

 Lots going on today with 9/11 events.  I can't wait until 5:00, I'm not feeling well today; I just took some sinus medicine because my head is hurting really bad.

Homework

I meant to post this before I left for home this morning but I ran out of time.  I am thankful for traveling mercies, I made it back in good time despite some heavy traffic and rain.  The service was nice and it was good seeing family that I don't often see.  On Tuesday my daughter came home with an assignment to cover a composition book for her Ecology class.  So this is what she/we did using a sheet of paper from the DCWV Homeroom Stack and letters cut with SLICE!

Hit the Books

First day of school here, off to a good start and lots of emotions!  I am back today to share another card that I put together for this week's  back to school card blitz for our daughter.  The sketch inspiration for this card came from sketch #285 over at Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge,  All items used came from my stash, scraps of paper from other projects, stickers for the sentiment, wood veneer stars and the stack of books cut using the Autumn Celebrations cricut cartridge.

Take care and have a wonderful week.
