Yeah...I know...it's been forever

So, it's been forever since I posted to my blog...hmmm...looks like it corresponds with about the time school started! Since then I have been going to junior high & high school football games, etc. I absolutely LOVE watching my kids play sports! So speaking of LOVE & SPORTS...I LOVE to scrapbook...and seems like lately I am doing sports layouts! Since I am mostly a chronological scrapper, I am working on Summer baseball 2005 (um yeah, I'm that far behind! ha, ha) So here's a few layouts that I thought turned out pretty good:

I am loving the chipboard that came in the Creating Keepsakes KOTM "Mix It Up"-very fun to experiment with paint! This layout is a scraplift of Mrs. O @ Scrapjazz...she does great stuff!






Here's my ALL-STAR! We had so much fun during the state tournament that summer! & made some wonderful friends too!






And my other ALL-STAR!

This has to be one of my favorite recent layouts! Did this layout for a sketch challenge on Pink Sketches...everything just pops off the page & LOVE those red brackets!

Well, guess that is it for tonight...it's past my bedtime...again! All I can say about tomorrow is...TGIF!!!

Just a little sharing...

We had a super busy weekend to celebrate my DH's mom's 69th bday...it was a great shed party!



Can you tell how surprised she was! We got her pretty good this time! he, he, he

So on Sunday, I got my scrappin' stuff out again...did a lo for sketch #1 at Pink Sketches, but missed the deadline...darn it! But just have to share the lo 'cause I think it turned out great:

Well, it is past my bedtime...until next time! Take care!

Baylie...isn't she too cute?!?

Just have to share a layout I just finished of my great niece, Baylie:

What a doll! With 2 boys to scrap normally, I LOVE the chance to do something a bit more girlie!!!

Another kitten....

Several months ago a kitten "adopted" us and we took her into our home...we fell in love with her & really enjoy her even though we had no previous cat experience! Here is Shadow:

Of course, my youngest son, Joel, has decided that Shadow needs a buddy. I wasn't exactly on board with the idea of 2 cats, but our second kitten was dropped off today. She hasn't been named yet, but here she is:

Just call me the cat lady...

Found a monthly scrapbook kit club...

I have been searching for a monthly scrapbook kit club to subscribe to & I think I may have just found it! It is called Scrapbook Circle & their kits look amazing! I already set up an account:

San Diego 2008

Having fun with finding blogs...

I am fairly new to posting layouts, etc. to online galleries. My favorite scrapbooking website is Scrapjazz! Everyone is so great on that site...friendly, helpful, & supportive! I have been a long-time "viewer" of Scrapjazz galleries, but just recently signed up for my own account...& it has been a blast! I came across a challenge from Noel Mignon using a Becky Fleck PageMap...loved the sketch, so just had to try it! Here's my lo using the sketch:

This is probably the 1st sports related lo that I have done...& I have done a ton of them...that doesn't actually use "sports" embellies! I really like the result...& I am loving doing hand-stitching on my lo's!!! Fun!!!
