Making Memories with my Friends

Welcome friends!

Ready for another layout from yours truly??  I made a double page layout which I rarely do unless it's for a class or a challenge.  

The photos on this double page layout are from The ScrapRoom crop that I went to with my friends in February here in Henderson, Nevada.

I'm a little slow to scrap the photos but the crop itself was da bomb!!  lol  I can't wait until February 16, 2019 when they host their next crop!  They are getting ready to open it up for purchase if you are interested in going.  

I'm so happy you stopped by today!  Until next time...happy scrapping!!

Choose Joy

Happy Wednesday!

I made a layout using leftover scraps from one of my page kits from the Flavors of the Month kit from The Scraproom.

The photo is a fun selfie I took with 2 of my kids and my goddaughter's kid.  We were out eating dinner at a local Thai restaurant and decided selfies would be a fun way to pass the time and keep the little kids calm.  lol

While you are here I will ask you if you have participated in this months Scrappy Friends Challenge here on my blog??  You still have time to join in and be in the running to win a prize!!  Check it out HERE.

Until next time...happy scrapping!

Throw Back Thursday Challenge

Hello Friends!

I have a layout to share today.  I was inspired by the Throw-Back Thursday challenge over at The ScrapRoom.  It was last months challenge and I did it last month but just got around to photographing it.  I'm late as usual! (eye roll)

I used photos from the vacation that my husband and I took this summer to St. Croix.

That is the view from our condo and a selfie from when we first landed and were on the tarmac at the airport.

I'm glad you were able to stop by and check out my layout today.  Have you joined in on my September Scrappy Friends Challenge yet?!?  If not, go check it out HERE!

Until next time...happy scrapping!

Beauty in Bloom

Hello Friends!

I'm back yet again today.  Didn't mean to but accidentally put in the wrong date to publish...so....here you go.

I just love to scrap!  I love documenting memories and just being creative.  

Thanks for looking!  Until next time...happy scrapping!

Sweet Honey

Welcome to my blog!

I'm back again today with a double page layout I made for a class I'm taking at Scrapbook and Cards Today.  

I recently got a new Giant Schnauzer puppy so I have about a million photos of her on my camera to scrap.  Here are just a few of them! LOL  

I was inspired to add myself on the layout by the challenge this month at Challenge YOUrself.

Thanks for looking today.  Until next time...happy scrapping!

Maybe...Maybe Not

Hello people!

Welcome to my blog today.  I have a layout that I made that I want to share.  I made this layout using the September Jump Start Challenge over at The ScrapRoom.

The photos are funny because we had entered to win a shopping spree at our local scrapbook store. In the first photo we were excited to hear who won but then in the second photo we learned that we hadn't won.  We didn't expect to win but you never know...right?

You should go check out this challenge HERE.

Thanks for stopping and looking!

Until next time...happy scrapping!

September Scrap Our Stash - Blend-A-Sketch

Hi guys!  

Here's a layout I made for the September Blend-a-Sketch challenge at Scrap Our Stash.  

I took the circles from one layout and added them to the other layout.  And I put a button on the camera to add dimension.

I love the bright happy colors of this paper collection and I love the people in the photo!!  So that makes this layout just about perfect! (wink, wink)

Now you should go check out this challenge over at Scrap Our Stash!

  Also check out my newest Scrappy Friends Challenge before you leave! Thanks for stopping and looking today.

Until next time...happy scrapping!

Silly Girls

Hello there!

Here's my August take from the class I'm taking at Scrapbook and Cards Today.

I don't think the photo I took is doing it any justice.  I really like how it turned out and I LOVE this paper collection that I used!  It's just so pretty!

My youngest and I were being silly taking selfies.  I always think that these kind of photos can be some of the best to scrap since you are getting a little snapshot of life right now.

I really am enjoying taking this class along with my friend, Rochelle.  It's good to have someone that you are kind of accountable to so that you get that project made!  (smile)

Have you checked out my Scrappy Friends Challenge yet his month?  Look up in the upper right hand corner, then click on the box.  I would be thrilled if you joined in!!  There's a fun prize for a random lucky winner!!

Thanks for stopping by today.  Until next time...happy scrapping!

All American Family

Welcome Friends!

I've been taking a class at Scrapbook and Cards today and wanted to share my July take on the double page layout.

It's a bit odd to have photos from the 4th of July posting in September but if you follow me at all you know I'm a bit slow to post so.....(wink, wink)

I really like how it turned out!  And I thought the title was perfect as it shows me and 4 of my kids along with my good friend. (who everyone probably thinks is their mother since she's Asian and I'm not.  LOL)

My husband always stays home with our youngest who does not like to go to see or hear the fireworks.  And my friend, who I've know since I was 15, always goes with us.

Now go check out my newest Scrappy Friends Challenge!! (it's in the upper right hand corner) I would love for you to participate! You might win my prize!  Thanks for looking!  Until next time...happy scrapping!

 "September by Earth, Wind and Fire"

Do you remember the
21st night of September?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing
As we danced in the night
Remember how the stars stole the night away

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Ba duda, ba duda, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda

My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love
Remember how we knew love was here to stay

Now December found the love we shared in September
Only blue talk and love
Remember the true love we share today

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

There was a
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - golden dreams were shiny days

The bell was ringing, aha
Our souls were singing
Do you remember
Never a cloudy day

There was a
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

There was a
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - golden dreams were shiny days
