Sneak preview of the Mexico book...

I am frantically trying to get our vacation book of Mexico done before my Groupon expires.  In 10 more days this thing will be off to the publisher!
Here is a sneak peek of what it's got!....

Sahlin Studio monthly challenge - Around the World

When I saw that the Sept monthly challenge over at my fav designers blog (Sahlin Studio) was for her Around the World kit, I was pretty excited because not only do I actually own that kit, but I am also in the process of scrapping pages from our Mexico trip right now!!  Bonus!  Hopefully I'll win this month because I just love every new kit she comes out with, and I want to go shopping.  :)

Mother's Day

After a long hiatus of not scrapbooking anything, I finally took a few minutes to create a couple of pages - on Mother's Day!  A pretty quick turn around.  It felt good to make some pages again.  ahhhhhh

Doggie dreams

Almost every day I hear about dogs.  Sydney *really* wants one :)

Kit: Bad to the Bone, Dream Big Designs

Snow day

Memories of a level 3 snow emergency day!  It's such a great day when you hear you get a free day off from work.  Yahoo!!

Challenges

well, it's another month, another chance to win a challenge at The Lily Pad!
Here are my entries this month.  Crossing my fingers!!

Some wintery pictures...

I've been trying to win a couple of prizes on The Lily Pad forum, and also just scrapped this page with a Sahlin Studio template I bought.

Sadly I did not win any prizes yet, but I'm going to keep on trying!! :)

Snowball making

Had some fun playing out in the snow today....

b-day card

Ok, check this out. This is my first hybrid project. I got it from a Jessica Sprague card making class. Sydney and I made this pop-up card for her friend's birthday. It turned out really good, I was impressed!

Pumpkins!

Sadly, I forgot my camera when we went to the pumpkin patch this year. But I did get some fun shots of us carving the pumpkins. Zack was almost in tears because he didn't want to touch the insides of the pumpkin. But finally he did and he thought it was pretty funny. Alan baked up the pumpkin seeds and they were delicious!!

More Boo kit

We had fun camping this weekend. Took a nice picture of the kids. I think I might use it for xmas cards this year!

Boo kit

I saw this kit and just fell in love with it - well, I fell in love with all of the pages made by the CT. So I had to copy since I don't have these skills myself to come up with these great pages. Let's just say I'm practicing!
Kit: boo!, by three paper peonies

So grateful challenge

Trying again to win a gift certificate for Sahlin Studio!

Grandparents day

I got this nice picture from Zack's kindergarten teacher. Grandma and Grandpa got to go see Zack's school and have muffins with him. It was a fun day for Zack.

I'm still trying to win some $ from Krista at Sahlin Studios. :) Here is my "entry" for the challenge. Parts from Explore. Learn. Grow. add-on kit and rest from "Back to School" by WMSquared Designs.

Tadpoles

What, I'm supposed to be working in Quicken again... but I'm scrapbooking. hmmm, what a surprise!

Block Party

I am trying to figure out if I like the new screen size of my laptop... it's a 14 inch screen. I can't decide if it's too small or not! So I made this page to try it out (and didn't go blind yet, that's a good thing!)

Cancun pages

This week I have been motivated to begin working on my Cancun book - mostly because we just booked a trip to Florida... So I have to get started on this book before our next big adventure starts! Here are some random pages that I have completed.

scraplifted, kit is “Around The World” by Brittish Designs & Sahlin Studios and “Taste of Mexico” by Brittish Designs & Sahlin Studios


ahh, the beautiful beach of Cancun...

This is going to be my first try at a two page spread in my book. Hope it turns out well!
