CHALLENGE

It's my turn to do the weekly challenge over at Life Preservers Club today, so, here's my challenge - find something and alter it! I altered an altoids tin (yeah, I know it's been a while) and some mini gift tags. You'll find these on etsy soon.

HEY THERE

It's been a couple of weeks since we last spoke (surprise!). We've been busy with the usual Spring things; garage sales, consignment sales, birthday parties and dates. Yup, Ethan had his first date last week - he took his 'best friend' to see Monsters Vs Aliens. How sweet is that? It's kinda sad that after Pre-School, they won't be in the same elementary school :( We'll have to make a concerted effort to get some playdates going.

We had a mini crop this weekend over at Life Preservers Club to celebrate National Scrapbooking Day. The DT came up with some awesome challenges, so be sure to stop by and check them out! My challenge was to 'kill a kit', ie: use your teeniest scraps to finish off some used up papers. I used my LP April Project Kit (cosmo cricket) to make these tags and card. So, take my challenge this week and kill off some of those scraps you're collecting!

Have a great week, everybody! :D

APRIL & PHOTOS

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! I had a wonderful day yesterday. The weather was beautiful and we all went to church together (quite a feat if you know my husband) :). The service was wonderful. Afterwards we came home and had a great lunch with my sister and her family, an Easter egg hunt for the kids and then some much needed rest!

Here are some photos of the Easter egg hunt we went to at the church on Saturday and some random photos of our Easter Sunday AND some pages I've done with my April LP Kit so far.

IT'S OVER

The LP Spring Fling Crop is over....and I'm exhausted!! We had tons of fun and I ended up gettting a few pages done. I'm impressed with myself. :) I went digging thru my stash for each layout and I can't believe how much of my past kits I still have left! Some of them are even unopened. I have got to put a dent in these. I haven't purchased any supplies outside of my kits in months. I'm determined that I'm gonna have to use up what I have before I get anything new!



I'll share some of the pages I got done this weekend with you. If you haven't made it over yet, you should go check it out. There are so many challenges and fun make & takes - you can do them all year long!

There are a ton of challenges that I still have to do. I'll have inspiration for a long time yet! I want to say a big THANK YOU to the Fabulous LP Design Team for doing such a bang-up job on the crop and an especially BIG THANK YOU to all who participated!! Thanks for making it all worth while!

It's back to reality for me today. I've got to register my big boy for Kindergarten (*gasp!) and run a million little errands that I've just been letting slide.

Have a great week, everybody!!

BLOG HOP

The crop is in full swing over at LP and we're having so much fun! Of course, I'm doing more chatting than scrapping but I did manage to get the Early Bird Sketch Challenge (by guest designer Debra) done and the Floral Arrangement Make & Take (by DT member Danielle).

IT'S COMING!

The Life Preservers Club SPRING FLING CROP is almost here!! YAY!! I've been working hard this week getting some challenges together and trying to come up with a make & take. There have been LOTS of rejects that I was going to post here...then I realized I deleted the photos!! They sucked (pardon). Really really sucked. I haven't really done any creative thing since last month's kit so I'm outta practice. Just haven't been feeling very crafty...or scrapbooky for that matter. But, now that I have a few new pages under my belt with the new kit, I'm starting to think there is hope again!!

So, join us this weekend (Fri 27th in the pm - Sun 29th) for some FUN FUN FUN challenges, games, make & takes and even a super cool BLOG HOP :D You could even win some prizes......
