Hello Friday

We made it, another Friday and the weekend has started or rather for me it will start around 5:30 when I leave work for the day.  I am sure I will be struggling to stay awake since I woke up at 2 AM and didn't go back to sleep until almost 5 AM and when I woke up and it was light outside I went into overdrive.  When I couldn't sleep I went downstairs to work on my last LOs for this month's challenge.

Today I am sharing another pocket style LO, I have several that I am hoping to finish soon.  I need to figure out a better way to take the pictures as the glare is horrible.   I originally scrapped the picture of the wives that attended the dinner in my Simply Beautiful post so this one include additional pictures.  The fraternity brothers with the white coats have been members for 50 years or more.

Take care and have wonderful weekend.

Sweet Sunday Sketch

It's Thursday and today I am sharing a card that I put together using inspiration from this week's sketch #279 over at Sweet Sunday Sketch.  I used some of the leftover paper from yesterday's LO along with a flower cut with my SLICE, buttons, a stamped sentiment and the card was done and it will be going postal soon!

I am winding down with my LO challenges for this month and I signed up for a crop next Saturday.  I will need to get some stuff together to work on at the crop so I don't waste too much time socializing! I need to get catch on my scripture journaling so I may just decide to work on it so I don't have to take a whole card load of stuff!

Take care and have a wonderful day!

Wednesday Wanderings - Ouch

Welcome to another edition of Wednesday Wanderings which is just a misc. rambling about something but not too much of anything!  This week is going by rather fast, I pick baby girl back up from volleyball camp tomorrow; overall I think it has been a good experience.  When she woke up yesterday she complained of  head and back aches.  I told her to just "tough it out" she would be fine although I immediately want to get in my car and drive there to try to take care of her!  I did ask DH if he thought she needed a foam pad on their mattress.

Let me say that today's LO is not one that is teen approved but because I usually share most of my daughter's LOs I decided to go ahead and share this one too. I'm not sure if I shared here on my blog but I did share on FB while I waited during the procedure.  This was one of those times when I sent dad in the room to be with her.  These pictures were taken last month during and after her "gum contouring" procedure. It was a quite painful experience, I still need to add the journaling; anyway she survived!

The rambling has gone on way too long, used items from my stash that included paper that I picked up on clearance at Tuesday Morning not too long ago, old stickers from the Paper Stack, cut the band-aid using the Indie Art cricut cartridge, Spellbinder die for the circle and Colorbok letters for the title.

Take care and have a Wonderful Wednesday.

Got Hair

Hello and happy Monday, the weekends go by way too fast!  I had to spend most of my time getting my daughter ready for her volleyball camp.  The LO today uses pictures taken of  her hair after a recent visit to see her stylist, she had to get something different because she was going to a water park and volleyball camp this week.  I used papers from a K&Co.  Specialty Pack, Thickers, stickers, buttons, washi tape and Prima flowers with brad centers.  Another LO done, still haven't figured out how I am going to document this week's volleyball camp!

Wishing you and yours a great week.

Sweet Sunday Sketch

Hello and happy Friday, I am back today to share a card that I put together using sketch #278 over at Sweet Sunday Sketch.  This is just my second time using one of their sketches but I like the clean and simple concept of the sketches and you just add any flair or fanfare  along with your interpretation of the sketch and your card is done.  The pattern paper came from the Pink Paislee Bella Rouge 6x6 paper pad, the butterfly is from Recollections and the sentiment stamp is from Stampin' Up.  I cut the little pennant with my cricut but looking at the picture maybe I should have used another color.

Take care and have a wonderful weekend.

Biker Chicks

It's Thursday and I am so looking forward to the weekend!  I am back today to share another LO that was "teen approved" when my daughter saw it she said "I like it" which is a big deal coming from her!   Although my style is clean and simple because when I scrap I always want the pictures to be the focus I still struggle and put lots of time and thought into my LOs.  I had a hard time choosing the paper and the fact that I didn't have a trike style motorcycle I had to go with what I had, this is another result of being unorganized.  I used the Father's Day cricut cartridge for the motorcycle and Songbird (great letters for welding) for the titling.  I cut the tag with my SLICE, still need to add the details and a few other embellishments and it was done!

Take care and have a wonderful day!

Simply Beautiful

It's  going to be really hot again today so it means I will spend as less time as possible outside! Today I am sharing a LO that I created using a picture  taken of the wives that attended a dinner with their husbands at a fraternity dinner last month, I may scrap some of the other pictures later.  My original vision for this LO took quite a few twists and turns before I considered it done.  I used my cricut for the title, my cameo for the the dress form,  and a spellbinder die for the label that I used for the journaling.  The red gemstone flourish is from the Paper Stack.  I am still hoping to make my monthly goal, I need to work on my photography skills the LO is not straight (that's what happens when you rush to take the picture as you're headed out the door for work)!

Take care and make it a great day.
