Dec Speed Scrap and Chat at GingerScraps

2011-12-07T09:00:00.004-07:00

Last night was my Speed Scrap and Chat at GingerScraps. There was a small crowd, but it was fun! You can see the rules for the SS along with the layouts made in the forums.

The layout I made uses my collab with Pretty in Green called Reel Men Fish. Here is the page- my son Kyler was freezing after getting out of the water, but he didn't want a towel because he was going to hop back in LOL:

New Release, Medieval The Kit and a blog announcement

2011-12-03T09:46:00.003-07:00

I have a new release in the store this weekend. It is full of doodled elements and bold colors- use it for more than just the royalty in your life. Colors match most school colors and are bright. I love how it turned out, and I even scrapped a page with it. The CT has come up with some cute pages too :) It is 25% off thru the end of this weekend too.

Also, an announcement: this blog will be migrating to a new spot in the next month so be sure to check back and get the new website address. I think you will like the change and it will help me to be a better blogger, LOL.

Have a good weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Halloween Everyone!

2011-10-31T19:27:00.007-06:00

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope it is fun for you :)

This year is the first time we haven't taken our boys trick or treating. Not that we don't want to, it is just that we are in a new town, and don't know too many people, and- well, I haven't had time to make costumes yet either. But we are taking the boys to a Halloween Party this coming Saturday. I promise I will have costumes made by then!

I really do like this holiday, even if I don't get totally involved. All the colors and creatures and candy are just alluring, LOL.

I did make a Halloween kit this year, even though it is not in my store yet. If you haven't had a chance to check out the Digi Scrap Addicts Enabler Magazine this month, you should, its in there :)

I can show you a preview of it here too along with the layouts my CT made with it. But you really should check out the Enabler, they have the cutest popcorn tub made with it in there:

You can buy the kit here in The Fix.

Here is a page by Lisa:

And one from Michelle:

And another one from Missi:

That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by, oh and please excuse the blog construction mess, I am still learning how to build a fancy background blog, LOL, and I can't decide on a header, so for now it is just boring font. Check back soon for a look at my new Putt Putt Collection at GS too.

I came, I scrapped, I didn't survive

2011-10-25T20:05:00.000-06:00

So another season of scrapping survivor has come and gone, and like last year, I didn't outlast or out crop for very long. I think week 3 is all the further I will ever make it, but it is super fun, and I did get three wonderful layouts from it.

The first week challenge was to make a current photo look old. I chose to do a recent photo of my DH.

I used from my store Perfect in Every Way http://store.gingerscraps.net/Perfect-in-Every-Way.html and Somethin' To Crow About http://store.gingerscraps.net/Someth...row-About.html
From Unforgettable Moments Rustic Charm http://store.gingerscraps.net/Rustic-Charm-Kit.html
I also used a button that is part of the GingerScraps Essentials Collection http://store.gingerscraps.net/GingerScraps-Essentials/

The second week was all about the recipes, so I attempted to make the skunk egg and scrapped about it, LOL.

Cooler Online from Wyld Web Designs: http://store.gingerscraps.net/So-Muc...b-Designs.html
Lizards from me: http://store.gingerscraps.net/Lizards.html
French Bistro also from me. Brain, plus sign and chemistry were made just for this layout.

The third week was a love letter challenge. Since it has been 5 years since I did a scrapbook project for DH, I decided I better hold to my promise to make something this year to show him how much I love him (I had promised myself I would make something every five years just for us)

I used my Ready for Warmer Weather Kit: http://store.gingerscraps.net/RFWW.html
Stitches are from Goblin Delights Reloaded (see post later)
A collab from Pretty in Green and Kathy Winters called The Power of Youth: http://store.gingerscraps.net/The-Po...ndle_PinG.html
And another kit from Pretty in Green called Puddle Jumpers (part of a buffet here at GS): http://store.gingerscraps.net/Puddle...-in-Green.html

Thanks for looking. I hope you followed along with Scrapping Survivor and want to join us again next year!

Skunk Eggs and other happenings

2011-09-11T19:03:00.005-06:00

We had a pretty eventful week this week. It started with Curt's Birthday and some great friends coming into town to see us. Monday was the holiday and we went to a heritage crafts open house. Unfortunately I fell down the stairs with my younger son and gave myself a HUGE bruise and I wasn't able to use my arm much for a couple days. Then we went striper fishing and got stuck on the lake for a bit while emergency crews battled a wildfire that was right by our truck and trailer. That scene was heartbreaking to watch and super scary for all those near it.

We also tried a local food called Skunk Eggs, and I have to say that I am IN LOVE. The area here is very lacking in the green chili department and I have really been missing smothered burritos and and cheese. The skunk egg doesn't have green chili, but it does have a kick with some jalapenos and tons of cheese (I even snuck back yesterday and ordered another one, hehe). We were way excited to find them and will probably make them a regular meal at our house.

I am hosting a challenge at GingerScraps this month called SugarSwap which is a scraplift challenge. I made a layout featuring the skunk egg as my take on the layout I picked to lift. You can join us in the challenge here: http://forums.gingerscraps.net/showthread.php?13581-September-Scraplift

And here is my page:

I hope you can join me in the challenge, and don't forget the ultimate scrapping challenge starts this coming week at GingerScraps- are you the next Sole Scrapping Survivor?
