Wowza Wednesday

Is it really Wednesday already? Where did the last 7 days go? We've been busy as always. Cleaning and preparing for a visit from Nona--yay! Helping Little Miss study and get her homework done. She just got her third quarter report card and seriously, the kid is kicking kindergarten butt. Dealing with appointments--I had an MRI done on my shoulder today to determine the source of some chronic pain I've had for over a year. Add to that play dates, the gym, more spring cleaning and Phew! I can barely keep my eyes open! And I've been creating madly lately to get a bunch of deadlines done--seems like that short month of February really messed with my calendar! So, I dont have lots to share yet, but I'll leave you with this one, which was my final post at the Just Imagine blog.
I cut all the circles with my Kreaxions circle cutter--I still LOVE that thing! 
The Jillibean Soup goodies are a mish mash of a bunch of different lines. I love those little monsters and the yellow background soup staples is one I need LOTS of so I will never run out.
And of course, lots of sewing ;) But I have yet to sew an item of clothing--go figure!
And one item of good news--I had a layout picked up for the August issue of Scrapbook Trends! And neither kid is featured in said layout! Little Miss is still a little disgruntled about the fact that none of her solo layouts have been published lol. I'll just have to keep trying :)
And on that note...have a great night!

Catching Up--BIG time.

I honestly do not know where the time goes. Of course there is a lot of driving kids back and forth to school, helping with homework, studying for tests, cooking dinners, trying to get little people to get a good night of sleep.

Then there is watching movies, bouncing in the bouncer, cleaning, more cleaning.

Still, if it is already the MIDDLE of January, we are in for one lightning fast year. And this little stinker called me Mom all day. Not Momma or Mommy, but "Hey Mom..."
Sigh. Oh well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. He is going to be 4 next month after all. Oh, for anyone curious about these painted frames or the polaroids with text I used in my Christmas post, I downloaded both for free from the fabulous Coffeeshop Blog. The BW action I ran on these photos is from the same site.
Ok....in the downtime, I have gotten lots done. Some I can't share yet (some new projects with new Elle's Studio goodies!!!!!!). So here is what I can share:
This one with American Crafts Love Collection:
That big red flower is an American Crafts Details and I entered this into their weekly challenge and I was one of the winners on the American Crafts blog.
This month the Upsy Daisy Design Team focused on their Avalanche line. It is a very winter line filled with snowflakes and winter sports phrases. Here in the Southwest, we don't get a lot of either. So I got creative ;) This first one is actually pictures from over the summer. When it gets unbearably hot, when it is 115 for weeks on end, when it is well over 100 even in the dark of the night, sometimes we stop off at the local skating rink. It just feels so good to be cold for a little while:
The great thing about this line is the B sides are incredibly versatile. The colors are patterns have a cool masculine feel so I thought it was perfect for a layout about my guys:
And this one was made with a bunch of Kreaxions punches and a big butterfly die;
The punches I used are on the Just Imagine Crafts blog today.
I did this one as a scraplift of layout by Carrie Ferrier for a challenge on For the Luv of Art.
And I did this one for a challenge at 3 Scrappy Boys to scrap your One Little Word:
And I couldnt have been more thrilled when Heidi at October Afternoon noticed it at 2peas and posted it on the OA facebook page!
And on that note it is time to call it a day. Have a great night and wonderful rest of your weekend!

Bye 2010!

I guess now that it is January 5th I really can say goodbye to 2010! I really wanted a year in review post up before the 5th, but with my little guy not sleeping well (read--ME not sleeping at all) and other forces at work (read--ME sleeping in the cold playroom on a hard futon because I saw a mouse) it just wasn't in the cards. Thankfully my boy is feeling better and our house guest has been, ummm, "uninvited." So...without further ado...

Actually I have one further ado...unfortunately I can't post a few of my favorite layouts from this past year but that is because.... this is the first year I have several out for publication!!! I couldn't be more thrilled about it. In fact, I just had another one of my favorite layouts requested by ScrapStreet for publication in March. So we'll have to make do with these runner ups ;)
Not sure that I even had a chance to share this one yet? In any case, the tags and stamp are from Elle's Studio. Did I mention how excited I am to be designing for them??!! Probably, I did lol. I got my first DT package and all the new products are launched. If you are like me...you will want them all!

Here is another one with tons of Elle's Studio goodies. I loved using lots of tags and the small pictures with rounded corners. I don't do monthly recap layouts a lot but this one was so fun, I am thinking I may need to soon.

I won some My Little Shoebox goodies from a Facebook contest with this one.


I won the Echo Park Life is Good collection on a Facebook contest with this one. (I was never a big fan of Facebook until I started getting free goodies lol).


I was thrilled to be "Soup Spotted" several times on the Jillibean Soup blog this year--this was one that was posted.


I got to Guest Design for Scribble Scrabble and this was my favorite project from that spot.


Although I have yet to make an appearance there, some of my layouts made it to CHA this year (designing for Moxxie).


I was beyond thrilled to make the Upsy Daisy Deisgn Team and this layout (based on DT coorindater Kim Sonkenson's sketch) is my fav so far.


I have gotten such a kick out of designing for Just Imagine Crafts (because I am addicted to punches) that I was thrilled when they asked us to stay on a few more months. This is my favorite layout with Kreaxions punches and that cool new big butterfly die.

No accolades here, but this serves as a reminder that this guy needs to be featured more often :)

and how about a few more that just plain make me happy?




And with that, I leave 2010 once and for all. But stop by tomorrow I may have some news ;) AND I am getting close to 200 posts--I feel a giveaway coming :)

Halloween Eve

We have been busy with pre Halloween celebrations. Little Miss had a field trip to a local farm/pumpkin patch on friday. Little Man had his preschool Halloween parade/trick or treat.

Today we went to our local patch. This was the first year we went on their hayride on the back of their tractor pull. It is so fun to be able to do stuff like that now that they are both a little older.

This past week at ScrapTiffany we were also celebrating Halloween. Here is my layout--a 2 page spread!! I know shocking--I never do those anymore, but I had all these pictures left over from last year's Halloween.
I used the Echo Park Halloween line (really just some stickers and strips of patterned paper on Bazzill Kraft cardstock). 
I also blogged a Halloween project over at the Just Imagine Blog. 

I used the 906 Triangles punch for this treat bag just like I did for my last Halloween layout. You can see more details and explanation on the Just Imagine Blog. Speaking of the 906 punch, my winner from the post below is Angi@Cokiepop---congrats Angi--your punch is on it's way to you!

That's it for now, but I will be back soon with some pumpkin patch photos. I hope to get some good trick or treating ones this year too. Hope you all have a safe and happy Halloween!

Just Imagine Blog Hop!

Hi all you hoppers!! Welcome to the first ever Just Imagine Crafts Blog Hop. If you just stopped by my blog randomly (thanks for doing so!!) please start the hop at the Just Imagine Crafts blog. If you are just coming from Stephanie's blog on your way through the hop, then...WELCOME! As you know each of the Just Imagine designers is showing off Fall or Halloween projects using the Kreaxions punches and Circle Cutter. And we are each doing a giveaway!! But before I get to the giveaway, let me show you my layout.
 

 For this layout I started out using the Kreaxions Circle cutter to cut all the circles from various patterned papers (all from Echo Park). Then I used Kreaxions 906 Triangle punch with the A Insert to create the border at the bottom of the polka dot paper. The cool thing about the Kreaxions 4 in 1 punches is that they each come with 3 sets of inserts that can change the look of the punch and include the ability to punch without the inserts giving you a total of FOUR different looks with ONE punch!
After punching the border, I used the corner punch Insert B to put corner punches on the journaling card.
Don't the punched out corners kind of look like bats on this layout!? You could also punch those corners into a photo matte and slip the photo into the punched out spaces. And last, but not least, I took all the guides off and used the punch as is to "bite" corners out of the witch shoe embellishment.
Are you convinced that these are versatile punches?? Since I obviously love all the different looks you can get from punch 906 I thought it would be fun to give one away here. So leave me a comment and you will be entered into a drawing to win one! Follow my blog for an additional entry :) [Prizes only shipped to US or Canada--sorry!!]
Now hop on over to Melissa's blog to see some more inspiration for using Kreaxions punches and be sure to leave comments on ALL the designers blogs as well as the Just Imagine Crafts blog for a chance at the GRAND PRIZE! You have until 6pm PST on Sunday to leave all your comments and the winners will be announced on the Just Imagine Crafts blog soon thereafter. Happy Weekend! 
:) rebecca
