A New Tradition and a few Scrappy Shares!

Good morning! It's Tuesday! And counting today, I have 4 days of work left until I get off for 2 solid weeks!!! Whoot! Whoot! I need it! Anyhoo, I wanted to share a NEW tradition I have started at my house. This year we are celebrating the 12 days of Christmas! Every morning from now to Christmas, my kiddos will wake up to a little prize on the kitchen table. Here is day 1...

And here's the list of the goodies and sentiments for the 12 days of Christmas if you would like to give it a try!

1. $1.00--Here's a $1 for snack to keep your belly full like Santas!
2. Toothbrush--To keep your smile shiny and bright!
3. Candy--To sweetin' you up for Christmas!
4. Lip gloss or Chapstick--To keep your lips moist when we are out and about!
5. Socks--To keep your tootsies warm on cold days!
6. Christmas Coloring Book--Christmas is always colorful!
7. Christmas Ornament--To remember Christmas 2011!
8. McDonald's Gift Certificate--For the family to have a dinner date...Christmas is about spending time together!
9. Hot Chocolate--For those cold December nights!
10. Picture Frame--To remember our Christmas memories!
11. Heart shape candy--To remember that we love you and you will always be in our heart!
12. Peppermint Candy Cane--Turn it upside down and now you should see a "J." This should remind you of the true meaning of Christmas and how much Jesus loves you!

Well, there you are! They are in no particular order...ENJOY!

Like always, there is a sketch contest going on at the My Mind's Eye blog at the moment. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the sketch! Take a look...

November ScrapRoom!!!

I know it has been awhile since I have posted anything scrappy. It certainly hasn't been because I have not been scrapping some, but wowee these kiddos of mine are keeping me busy!! At the moment we have our town play that we are practicing for, cheerleading, basketball concession duty, Student Council planning, preparing for Christmas...the list is endless!!! I'm sure you have the same list, with a few exceptions, going on at your house.

Same Product, 4 Designers at Bo Bunny

This morning on the Bo Bunny blog the feature, "Same Product, 4 Designers," was posted, and I was one of the lucky ladies to work on this challenge! Ok, let me begin by saying that this assignment was a doozie!! The assignment was to create a layout using the following products...

Etc. any papers

Etc. Just Be You cardstock sticker

Sweet Tooth buttons

Garden Girl 12” Chipboard

Welcome Home Combo Sticker

Forever Fall Brads

Father Christmas Jewels

Blitzen, any papers

Seems easy, right? Well, not for this chick! I am a matchy-matchy scrapper. Mixing lines is just not my forte...especially paper!!! Oh the mind boggling turmoil I went through! Now mixing embellishments, I can do it if I have to, but mixing paper is tough! Here is a look at my layout...

Snow Much Fun

Bo Bunny Supply List: Patterned Paper: Blitzen Dot, Snow Globe, Stripe, Blitzen, Et Cetera Symphony, Stickers: Blitzen Combo Stickers, Welcome Home Combo Stickers, Noteworthy: Blitzen, Buttons: Sweet Tooth, and Jewels: Father Christmas.

And to my surprise, I am happy with the way the layout turned out!! But good gracious it took me FOR-EVER!! Guess I should try this a bit more often so I am not so boring!!

Happy hump day and thanks for visiting!!

NEW Imaginisce Sketch Challenge!!

Hi there!! It is Tuesday, and I sure hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday weekend! I managed to get the house clean, the laundry done, bills paid, and a bit of scrapping done...I'm feeling productive so far this week! But hey, it's only day 2...it can change in an instant, right?

Anyhoo, there is a new challenge posted at the Imaginisce blog today! A sketch challenge to be exact! Here is a look at September's Sketch...

And my take on it...

No Need 2 B Bashful

I used Imaginisce's Geek is Chic line! I just loved how the sketch allowed for you to use a ton of patterns...especially since I have trouble choosing my favorite pattern in this collection! ;)

The rules for this challenge are easy!! All you need to do is create a layout or card using the sketch provided by our talented Melinda Spinks, making sure to use at least 75% of Imaginisce products. Upload your layout into the link at the bottom of the original post before September 25th, and you will be in the running to win 2 full collections of your choice!

Wowee, right? You can find ALL of the deets HERE. Good luck and thanks for stopping by!!!

Geek is Chic!!!

You-hoo...Mojo Where are You?

Yep, it's been missing...yours? When things get crazy busy around here, the first thing to go is my creativity. I hate it, but it's true. School started about 2 weeks ago, and we are finally getting it together. For me, the more I get organized, the better I sleep at night! I've got ALL of my calendars up to date...the family calendar, the meal plan, and the cleaning calendar. Uh-ha I'm set! One place I visit regularly for encouragement is Clean Mama. Do you have her in your sidebar? Well you should! She's just a mama trying to keep it together...just like me! And if you are "list" kinda girl like me, she has some of the best printables to stay organized!

Anyhoo, wanna see what I have been up to since my mojo showed back up this weekend?

First up, Sketch #80 is up at Inspired Blueprints! Here's a look at this week's sketch...

Sketch #80

And here is my take on it...

So Sweet

Yummo! Gotta love some My Mind's Eye!! This is MME's Stella & Rose Mabel...shew. LOVE IT! I actually shrank the sketch a bit, to make it work with my one, lonely photo. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out!

And if that is not enough MME for ya, I decided to play along with the Sketch Challenge this month at the MME Blog. Here is a look at this month's sketch...
And again, my take on it using some more MME...

Happy Day

What a cutie that turkey is, right? LOL!! I used a mixture of MME's Hip-Hooray and Fine & Dandy Tickled Pink...they work perfectly together! Well, wish me luck because I'm gonna need it! The competition over there is thick!!!!

Chat soon!!
