Dog Gone Wild!

More pics of Zoey and Matt playing after a dip in the pool  I'm not sure which is more entertaining, watching Zoe run from Matt, or Matt chase her... cause we all know there is no way he is going to catch that little speed demon!

A bit of a different layout for me.  I didn't use hardly any paper, just two sheets.  The rest is either washi tape strips or embellies.  That is all washi strips under the pictures.  That tells me if I actually do run out of paper, which is my greatest fear, (it used to be drowning) buuuut, if I do run out of paper, I can use washi tape in it's place!

And that's another page done for the our new home album!

It is almost December 1st, and I'm still not sure how that has happened.  I've bought a total of 3 gifts.  2 for David and 1 for Jessica.  I need to get busy!  It's hard to get into it though, cause we've got 70 and 80 degree temps!  On Nov 29th!!  I am still wearing flip flops!

Scrappy Do!

One great thing about being in a house with 6 or more scrapbookers.... they've all got cameras, and you are able to get pictures of yourself, that without them would never be. 

I'm not sure who I need to thank for the pictures below.  We all shared our pics online once we returned home.  I'm wondering if perhaps it's not Suze I should thank, the pictures are less than flattering and that is so something she would do and then giggle about!

It is what it is though, and normally, after we go out for dinner on Thurs night, I never leave the house again and my hair stays up on top of my head from the moment I get up until I go to bed again.

Can I just say, I love love love my scrappy time with my scrappy peeps!

Lots of layers here.  Mr. Huey misting, lace doily, wood veneer.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have yourself a wonderful day!

Where'd November go??

SERIOUSLY???  Where did November go?  Actually, now that I think about it, where did October go?  I swear it was just the end of summer 2 days ago, and now we are what, 30 days from Christmas?  That's crazy!  I always heard as a youngster that time flies when you get older..... I thought all those people were nuts, come to find out, they might have known what they were talking about!

It's time to play catch up.  I've gotten numerous layouts completed over the last month, just been letting them stack up.  I need to get them posted so I can get them in albums.

The pictures in this layout are from when we first arrived at the airport in Vegas, ummmm, back in 2008!  I am making progress! ha

I tried a little something different with this layout.  I've been seeing lots of strips while surfing blogs, not sure anyone persons blog inspired this, but more like several.  Thought I'd give it a go, and think I might just like it enough to do it again.

The picture here is from our first meet up of the Memory Maker Forum peeps in Texas.  Of course we had to visit a LSS there, thank you Kathi!

Used a Studio Calico mask and Mr. Huey mist here.  Some wood veneers, washi tape and sequins. Lots of layers!

This is the cover of my December Daily 2012 Album.  Don't you just love that paper!
Having fun getting this ready.

Thanks for stopping in.  Hope you all had a Wonderful Thanksgiving and are getting in the holiday spirit! 

Scare Wha?

Aren't they just sooooo cute!!!   Three grown women go to a pumpkin patch in Texas, and this is what happens!  We had a fun time, got to eat some really good BBQ, and possibly cause a few people a little concern while we were playing in the corn maze.  I think one

man possibly thought we were on some kind of high... which we were.... it's called

imaginary friends come together high!

I have to admit, it was my first time at a pumpkin patch, and I can promise it will never be forgotten!

I just used bits and pieces laying around my table to make this layout.  It came together rather quickly, and I smiled the whole time!

Attack of...

and just so you don't think I'm going through a period where I'm not liking anything I create right now, that's not true.  I've really made several layouts I like, some I like a lot.  I think it was in July, I got on a roll, and I know I completed over 20 layouts, which for me, in one month, that is pretty super amazing! 

 Some I liked, some I didn't, but my mission was to get them done.  Which is a good thing, because in August it started drying up to the point that I completed nothing from about the middle of August through all of Sept.  Matter of fact, we were so busy working on the 8th street house for my MIL that weeks went by and I didn't even touch a scrappy item.  Sad isn't it.  

  While my mojo was on over drive I was taking advantage of creating and spending less time posting. Plus, I was being super lazy taking pictures of the finished product.  With all that being said.... here is a layout that I do like.  I'd had it in my head for some time, on paper it's not quite how I envisioned it, I ended up going in a different direction, but I still like it.  I like the tone on tone, using the negative part from the cut (got my cricut machine out), little pops of color, I just like it.  It was really simple, and just flowed together so quickly, you gotta love that! Did some inking and some stamping, used some of my beloved wood veener embellies from Studio Calico. 

Plus, I'm pretty fond of my subject matter, even if he might possibly threaten me when he discovers these pictures.  That's the beauty of the kids being grown and gone, they can't say oh don't use that picture, don't put those in the album or post online... cause by the time they see it, it is done!

The blue sure does stand out doesn't it, and a year ago you wouldn't find in blue in my pages.  Isn't if funny how what we like or are drawn to changes.

Have a peaceful happy day!
