Scrapalicious!

It is simple.

I am having a good time this week creating.

The layouts below are the layouts I created at Faith Scrappers yesterday.

Might I add, such inspiring ladies and we had a great devotional time.

Fourth Grade

On Cloud Nine

Summer's End

Last night we had a grand time at the WKU Lady Toppers Volleyball game.  

They Won!

It is really is exciting and the game moved so quickly.

It is a great way to break up the week and have a good time.

Thinking about family and friends on the Gulf Coast.

Prayers for safety and minimal damage.

Faith Scrapping

Today I am at my church for a morning of scrapbooking and sharing the Word of God.

It is a time for a great devotional reading and then we take the scripture of the day and make a layout/book/tag/ or whatever one would like to make.

I plan on making a small book for the 5 week session.  I am also making a 6" x 12" page that will be a larger book.  This will be an ongoing class and we will meet initially for 5 weeks then take a short break and begin again.  I think it is going to be a great time of creativity and sharing positive love.

I am leading the class and the first day our scripture verse is:

Take the ... sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

                                   -------------------Ephesians 6:17

Faith Scrappers meet at Broadway UMC on Melrose in the welcome center off from the Sanctuary.

We will meet from 9AM-1PM each Tuesday.

Anyone may come and join for any amount of time or just pop in.

Have a day with many blessings!

12 Hour Scrapping...

Well, not the entire 12 hours.  But I was up for 27.08 hours, though.

We talked, snacked, listened to music, shared photos, and would every once in awhile say, "how many pages do you have done?"  We were blessed in that the youth of our church were having a lock in.  So, we got to listen to laughter, giggles, rushes of clapping, and and occasional, "DRIVE BY!"  By that meaning, running through our area.  I had a great time.  I was one of the ones that did not go take a nap in the sanctuary and then have to be shaken to say, "time to go home."  

I managed 8 layouts.

Four 12" x 12" and four 6" x 12".

Of course, there must have been at least 5 or six Cricut machines.

I brought my Silhouette Cameo.

Big time was had by all.

Summer Read

That is all for this Sunday.

INSTA-madness!!

Thought I would post a few of my favorite Instagram photos.

Heck, it is so addicting.

You know, taking photos with your iPhone.

Quality is not as great, oh but what fun!

One of my "GO TO" C.D.'s in my car-LOVE

BB KING'S-Nashville

 I just love the photo above.  

Not perfect, understated, and well...reminds me of the times when socializing was that...

music, cocktail, good conversation, and laughter.

My Chynna Girl

 There is something special about rescuing a furry friend whom now is, family.

Brianna's first day of school, 2012!  Fourth Grade.

Perdido Key-Johnson Beach- AM Sunrise July 2012

Sunrise in the opposite direction of Johnson Beach, Perdido Key, Florida- July 2012

 The above photos were taken about 4 minutes apart from one another.

Just in opposite direction.

My Love

Storm off shore-AM Johnson Beach, Perdido Key, Florida

I hope have not made you go to sleep.  But tonight I plan on scrapping lots of layouts and have fun with some great women.  I hope I can last 6PM-6AM.  I have never participated in a crop that went from PM to AM in this manner.  Scrapping 12 hours is not hard.  Just not sure my body will stay awake.

Wish me luck.

I have LOADS of Scrappy Packing.

Enjoy one of the last weekends of Summer...

Fall is nipping in the air don't - cha - know?!

Happily in ONEDERLAND!

Yes, I am finally there!  

I have met my personal goal.

Now, to keep it up.

I would like to lose at minimum about 25 more pounds.

I have a feeling that these will be the hardest to lose.

I am now in ONE-derland.

For those not familiar with the term...

it simply means, "I am below 200 pounds!"

I hope to NEVER SEE a "2 or 3" as my first number on a scale, ever!

Happily in ONE-derland!

This week I am busy preparing for an overnight crop.

I hope I can stay up.  

It begins Friday night at 6:00 PM and ends 6:00 AM on Saturday morning.

Heck, I am usually in bed by 10:00 PM most nights.

It is going to be a great weekend.

MY NEW NUMBER IS...

197

Scrappin' Happy!

Not lots to say really.

I am just loving the day to myself.

Alone.

In my studio.

Playing with paper and storytelling...

Captured

Healthier

 The above layout was good for me to document.

I just need to get back on track, again.

Love

 The above layout was fun to create.

It warms my heart to witness, "young love."

Snap Happy

 The above layout of course is a new favorite.

I love that I am part of the memories now.

I have always been part of them...I was just never in the photos as much as I am now.

Hmmm....wonder why?  LOL

This is Life

How can one NOT love the above photo!

Chynna is my little companion.

She sleeps in the most funny positions.

She belongs in our scrapbooks because she is family!

Creative Roll...

Hanging out in my studio again today. 

 I thought I would post a few layouts that I completed yesterday

 using the Studio Calico August Kit, "Summer of 69."

 

Baseball Simply Rocks

 Both of these layouts came together pretty quickly.

Humid at HotRods

I also had time to throw together a card and and I decorated a Kraft Bag for my son.

We celebrated his 24th Birthday last evening.

 

Happy Birthday Kraft Bag and Card

 It looks to be a dreary day outside and that is perfect weather for playing with paper.

Yep, HUMP DAY and crafting.  

Nothing Better.

Scrappy Fun...

Back in my studio.  

I have many projects going on right now, but I seem to be wanting to play with paper.

Here is a tidbit of what I have been up to recently.

 The above layout was created using Studio Calico's August 2012 Kit called "Summer of '69."

Completely love the colors.  I also added a few scraps that were on my desk as well.

Faith Scrappers Book Cover

 The above is a book that I have started for a new group of that will begin on August 28th.  

It is a devotional group of scrappers that will get together once a week for 4 hours.  

Here is one of the projects I am working on for this group.

I will share more about it at a later date.

Such a Poser

 

The above is another layout that is a 6" x 6" in size and I used scraps on my desk along with contents from the Studio Calico August 2012 Kit, "Summer of '69."

Well, back to my studio!  

I really should complete my paintings.

Have a terrific Tuesday...

Oh yeah, today is my son Zachary's 24th Birthday.

Happy Birthday Zachary!

We plan on celebrating tonight.

Birthday Celebration...& a New Number!

I have been so busy with soaking in every bit of Summer with Brianna that I have not had time to post.  Today is her first day of school and I will share those photos another time.

Here is few of my favorite photos from my Birthday Celebration this past weekend.

ENJOY
