Stamping Fun for LCOM

So one of the bestest things that happened this year is I have become part of the Design Team for Sketches at Let's Capture Our Memories (LCOM)- I love every minute of it.  I also thought that doing some challenges for LCOM would be super fun.....again Loving every minute of it...so I decided to try a third thing.  I finally got my nerve up to not only start a blog a couple of months ago but also to post some of my work....not something I am use to.  Everyone needs to step outside their box....so this is one of my box steppin things.....lol.  Here is the card challenge for January 25, 2012. 

Catching Up ....

As some may know I have not posted a lot on my blog.  Resolution #1  Post more of my work...So I have decided to get some of the stuff I have worked on in January posted..

A Few Days Before Christmas....

and all through this house anyway, we are battling an all out "time-out"!!  Why does it seem necessary that with the words of Santa the crazy level of children also increases!!!  WOW- it makes me want to report her to the naughty list.....lol.

Anyway; besides that, Christmas shopping is finally complete and we are trying to get a few things wrapped now and then....it feels as though we will never get there.....

Does anyone ever finish all their scrappin presents before the day???  I seem to be trying to compete with father time....[sigh].  I have been working on a paper bag album (which I loved making).  I put 8 bags together (making 4 complete pages)- having never made one before, I was astonished with the bulk and number of pages you could get from just two bags! Holy Moly.

where does time go in a day????

Recently, I have tried to organize my scrappy room.....Only to find out that spending a few minutes here and there is never enough.  Now, Christmas is here, all the presents have landed in this room and now I am trying to organize both parts....not sure if it will happen but eventually Christmas will be over and that also means that the presents will be gone.....so I guess I will salute Father Christmas with a friendly hello and just put scrapping on a pause for a few more days....lol

cheers to all

Older Work that has been found......

Did you ever notice how often you have pictures "tucked away" but when you find them it's like a lost treasure!!!  I did this book for my cousin's little girl and I had an absolute great time doing it.  When I look at this particular photo I realize how quickly time flies...he's now in Kindergarten....OH MY!!

this LO explains itself....lol

This is the birthday girl's Great Grandmother- Aren't they beautiful!!!

this is the birthday girl's brother- it's a boy thing.....lol

He played until he realized he had an audience....lol

It really is the only thing we eat that we allow someone to blow on, over and over again......lol

I will keep updating as I go.  We are off on another doctor visit.

cheers to all

Cards, Cards, Cards.......

I think becasue of the Christmas season coming I have been in a card mood....not to mention LCOM has an awsome sketch blog that inspired me to finally get things rolling in bloggerville:0) 

Happy Birthday Card:

Non-Traditonal Christmas Card

Let it Snow Christmas Card

Snow much fun Christmas Card

I just realized that I am unsure if you are suspose to list materials used in each creation???  Hummmm, I guess I will have to blog hopping (yeah!!!)

Cheers to all

They call me....LADY CLEOPATRA

Really I feel I must explain....I thought I would never be the parent to gush....I have had second thoughts on that issue!!  This is my baby- she is the most beautiful and enlightening creature I have had the privledge to meet!  Motherhood had absolutely been a jolt to my "old world"; however, I would never trade it for the world.

New to the land of Bloggerville......

Well I have to mention the fact that I have attempted this a few times only to fail.....well, really not fail just not complete the steps....lol.

On that note I am glad to say that I am blogging.....hopefully now and forever as it is a super way to get all the tidbits of a day recorded and posted for the world to see.......hummmmmm

One thing I know for sure at this point in life......I am still willing to learn and adapt (for the most part) to most things.  That said; perhaps, that is why it has taken me 6 months to really get a blog going......pause for the cause.....

The other thing I am willing to accept.....this blog is really for me to ramble about a whole lot of nothing to some but a whole bunch of something to me:0)  On to the posting part now........

cheers to all
