HELLO FRIENDS!!

 

 

 

Its been quite awhile since I have posted anything here . I got into the new pocket letter craze and haven't scrapbooked a page this year . But my goal is to get back into scrapbooking and start my project life for this year. I am also hoping to do some challenges .

Here are a couple of the pocket letters I have done lately .

These are not the greatest photos I took them with my tablet and it didn't do that great .

They are really fun and I am using lots of scraps and scrapbook stuff I have had for years .

You add little goodies in the back of the pockets like tea bags, handmade embellishments, images of stamps just about anything you want to give to your pocket letter pal and a letter or an about me pocket with questions for you pal to answer. You can do one time swaps , theme swaps anything really . I belong to the facebook group Pocket letter pals and there is a pocket letter network I belong to . Janette Lane  was the inventor of the pocket letters and the pocket pal network and facebook page .

 

 

 



We are Home :)

We are finally home we made the move from Indiana back to Virginia. we arrived home Thursday at 2:00pm and my daughter had an interview for a job on Friday and got the job. I had already been hired at the same company but I haven't been able to get a hold of anybody yet. I would share a few layouts and some pics from before the move but for some reason I can't upload anything right now. I will try later . Have a great day !

Good Morning

I did a layout for a challenge at Scrap Friends 

Sketch Challenge # 12 - Apr 2013

 

Here is the sketch 

 

 

And here is my take on it 

 

 

  The quote is from Teresa Collins washi tape from doodlebug the gray stickers and twine are from Jillibean. The arrows at the bottom of the picture is from Dear Lizzy, heart stickers from Amy Tangerine and the arrow stamp is from Amy Tangerine. The arrow border is a roller stamps from Glitz Girl.The scraps of paper are from October Afternoon.

Thanks for looking and have a great rest of the weekend ! 

 

Love you to the stars and Back

Today I am sharing a layout with you that I did of my great nieces. 

 

                    

I used Dear Lizzy papers and Heidi Swap and Stamping up Stamps, the buttons and clipboard were from my stash. Thanks for looking 

 

Good Morning ;)

Just sharing some layouts I  did last weekend I have tried this twice but our internet has some issues and would not upload so I am going to try once again . 
These are layouts I did last weekend for challenges on Scrapbook.com and one for Intaslove for Paper Issues.
Thinks for looking. 

 This layout I did for Paper Issues Instalove Challenge . I used all scraps from October Afternoon and Echo Park. This is my son Corey sleeping when he was three years old. This was my first night home from the hospital after having my daughter(Kayla) and we had a water bed so I slept on the couch with Kayla in a crib beside me and Corey had to sleep on the love seat to be with us.

 

This page I did for a Scrapbook. COM challenge to recycle something on your layout. I got a new badge at work and the tag is the backing from my badge. I also use a bottle cap and used buuble wrap to create the yellow background.This is my son and my brother at my son's High School Graduation Party. I used mostly scraps and stickers from Basic Grey Fact. Stamps from Heidi Swap.

 

This was for a challenge on Scrapbook.Com to use three shades of lavendar. I never scrap purple or lavendar so this was a challenge for me. Everything I used was from my stash and very old. The dress shaker box was from a swap many years ago. This is my daughter and her date at her High School Junior Prom.

This was for a challenge on Scrapbook.com Use a song or poem as your title and use some or all of the lyrics. This is my daughter in her High School Graduation cap and gown. Most papers are from Echo Park.

Playing :)

Here's another page I wanted to share . The twins are so adorable and they are growing so fast .
