Got My Scrap On...

Yesterday was a rainy and windy day here. So, what is a girl to do but scrap! I used the 3 Scrappy Boys April Add On Kit. I managed to scrap 3 layouts before 10 AM and then spent time with my family for the day. I will show 2 layouts that I created and one layout is for the newsletter. So, if you do not receive the 3 Scrappy Boys Newsletter, head on over and get signed up.
The April Kits are on sale now!

Well, I am heading to work this morning. Still feels weird to say it let alone blog about working.
I am sure I will get into routine, soon!
Have a Great Week

Time will be Springing Forward!

Can you believe it is that time already? This coming weekend the time will Spring forward one hour. I love Spring and I love the early mornings. The birds are already chirping at 4:45 AM and I am thinking their clocks have already changed. The flocks that land in the golf course field behind our home are really busy finding mates and nesting in trees. It is a hurry of busy business to get Spring, sprung!

This month over at 3 Scrappy Boys I was blessed to receive the March Main Kit!

Here is what is in this fabulous kit!

6 sheets double sided Jillibean Soup Old World Cabbage Stew paper
4 sheets Bazzill cardstock
2 sheets American Crafts cardstock
1 sheet of Jillibean Soup stickers
1 pack My Mind's Eye Lush chipboard alphabet
1 pack Prima Say it in Pearls
1 Maya Road chipboard days of the week keychain
1 yard Prima ribbon
1 kraft Jillibean Soup shipping tag
4 American Crafts felt flowers
7 Jenni Bowlin buttons

Here are a few of my creations with this kit as well.

Remember, there is still time to submit your entries for the next term of Designers at 3 Scrappy Boys.
This is an exciting time and I hope I see you on the boards or better yet, on the new team!

Inspired...

My inspiration for this layout came from Stephanie Howell's Sketch. I am really a "sketch" challenged individual. It is hard for me to stick to a sketch. I guess it makes me feel confined and I rarely scrap with sketches in mind. But I really liked this sketch and took the challenge.
The weather is delightful. Spring is definitely springing up.
I am thinking it is getting that time to decorate for Easter.
Gosh, it is only a few weeks away.

Summer Eyes!

I can taste Summer coming. It is a beautiful Monday here. The sun is bright and the temperature inviting. Our bulb plants are emerging from our flower beds and I am anxious to see what blooms. This is our first Spring here in Bowling Green and I just know with all the Bradford Pear trees and Dogwoods, it will be beautiful.

This is why I scrapped a few older photos of my daughter from Summer two times ago. I was inspired by the March Main Kit at 3 Scrappy Boys! I am still scrapping with the kit to be revealed soon, but I could not wait and give you a taste of the fabulous product within this kit.

Remember, there is a Design Team Call at 3 Scrappy Boys.
So, be sure to come check out the forums and join in on all of the fun.

Design Team Call at 3 Scrappy Boys!

If you have never been to 3 Scrappy Boys,
then now is a good time to head over and register at the boards and get to know everyone!
There is a Design Team Call and you may go here, for all the details! It is truly a great team to be associated with and the kits are fabulous.

There are other activities as well to participate in that will allow you to dig into your scrappy stash and use the product you have on hand that will allow you to purchase the new goodies in the store arriving daily!

Here is a stash challenge issued just this morning. STASH CHALLENGE!

Here is my "take" on the challenge.

Can you believe it? It is March already and I am ready for Spring!

Scrappy Fun!

This month over at 3 Scrappy Boys, Heather rolled out some beautiful kits for January. I was the lucky DT member to get to work with the January Main Kit Add On.
I believe it has sold out.
But oh the goodies this kit had in it was very versatile to work
with and I simply loved the papers.
So, here are a few things I have made with this kit.

A Martian Christmas

Gift Card Holder- Card

Be sure to sign up for the newsletter each month. There are lots of ideas, sketches, and information about product you can purchase in the 3 Scrappy Boys Store.
Heather is currently in California purchasing all kinds of new goodies to be had in the near future in the 3 Scrappy Boys Store. I am excited to see what she has in store for future kits as well.
Join us on the message boards to chat about scrapbooking and more!
I hope to see you there.

Another scrappy moment...

I have had this picture for several months. It was displayed on the side of the "fridge". I knew I wanted to scrap it but the colors in my shirt were not going well with anything in my pretty patterned paper collection. So, I opted for this design with these accents.

It is Wednesday and school is back in session! Wahooooooooooooo!!

This is all I have today. Happy Creating!

Snowy Day Scrapping...

Yes, I believe I have cabin fever.
This is the 4th day that school has not been in session for our county.
Good thing I have my scrappy goodies!
I thought I would share.
One of my favorite new kits is this month's January WHODUNIT kit by Studio Calico.
I love it.





Fly Fly Fly was inspired by a "Tiny Banner Challenge" over at Studio Calico. Although my banner is not tiny... I still enjoyed the inspiration.

I am still in my creative room and no telling what I will create next.
I am feeling the need to paint.
But we will see...

Sneak Peek at the first Monday in 2010!

It is a balmy 14 degrees F here. I just do not want to know what the windchill is at all! We are to get snow Wednesday evening on into Thursday.
Maybe it will stick and I can get some great Winter photos.

Art Freckles will be releasing their January kits for sale tomorrow and here is a sneak peek of what to look forward to!
The kit is creatively named, Party at My House!

2010 Agenda...

Every year I make my own agenda. Well, at least since purchasing my Bind-It-All. I have made 3 so far and this year is no different. In the past my agenda's have been very simple with just patterned paper on the cover and back. But since I am housebound and still recovering from my recent surgery I have stepped it up a bit with Studio Calico's Home Front Collection. The papers were perfect for the "home" theme and I loved adding the special touches with the little "extras" that go with this collection. If you have not found Studio Calico's debut Scrapbooking Collection the Home Front, you can purchase it here at 3 Scrappy Boys. They are having a fabulous sale and I believe Home Front by Studio Calico is included in the sale as well.

Just thought I would share. I really think the walls are closing in!
