Extra Sneaks

Just a few extra peeks at two more of the layouts I did with this months Larger than a Breadbox Apron Strings kit, this time with the Crate Paper half of the kit  (title letters not included):

We have our last soccer game this week (still have a tournament in June) so hopefully our days/nights will become a little easier very soon.  One more week of school, the girls can’t wait!

Color Me Ashamed...

I’ve been neglecting my blog and my scrapping lately!  Life always gets so busy this time of the year at the end of school and during soccer season.  Add to that violin lessons, band and school activities and I think all the driving back and forth just wears me out.  I’m in no mood to do anything!

I’ve finally scanned in a few more layouts I did over my 3 day crop.  And I’ve been working with the Apron Strings May kit!  I love the Fancy Pants Childish line, it works so well for my girls even though they are growing up fast!

This was from an old Apron Strings kit.  I had scanned in one page when my scanner bulb decided to be a problem so I finally got the second one scanned in!  I still have the stack to do - in my spare time!

And here’s one from the May Apron Strings kit…

It’s pretty simple but that’s pretty me :)….  we went with my SIL and the girls cousins.  Had a nice pleasant day at the zoo.  I traced the letters from the old Chip Chatter chipboard letters I had from Pressed Petals.  Remember them?  I still have quite a few of those letters floating around.  Love the size!

Will try to get better at blogging now that school is wrapping up.  Hard to believe another year is almost over.  Next year my oldest will be in MIDDLE SCHOOL.  I can’t hardly believe that!  Hope you are enjoying the weather and if you’re still following my, I promise to try and do better!!

Scrapping!!

I went to a 3 day crop when spring break started and I scrapped like crazy!  I finished 12 double pages layouts (24 pages!!) minus a couple of titles and I had to reprint one 4 by 6 photo to a 5 by 7….  So many layouts to scan in I’m going crazy!  I’ve managed to scan a few in though :)

From the April Apron Strings Smaller than a Breadbox kit ….  I’m just showing one so far.  I really had fun working with the kit!  BOth pages were individually loosely based on Sketch 3 in the Got Sketch 107 Class

I found it so easy to just grab a kit and scrap!  These layouts were from previous Apron Strings kits… and sketches from the Sketchbook Generations books.

I’ve been waiting a long time to use this October Afternoon paper!

Am busy scanning in all those layouts.  Hope to be adding them in over the next couple of weeks.  Hope you are getting some of this awesome spring weather as well!

Another Week Gone!

Spring break is around the corner.  One more week exactly.  Part of me can’t wait for a week of not getting up early and heading to school.  Part of me wonders what I’m going to do with the girls for a week - they are constantly bickering!

Just a couple more from my Apron Strings March Bigger than a Breadbox kit…  

and just adding some more cardstock and expanding Sketch #2 to a double-page from the Got Sketch 107 class…

We have our first soccer game tomorrow.  The weather should be beautiful and I’m sure I’ll take a ton of photos!

A Long Week!

Boy has this been a long, exciting week!  My oldest went to Young Ameritowne this week (what a great concept!)…  but we (parents) had lots to do - interviews for the jobs, training for the kids for the shops they were working in, plus the actual day at YA…  it was a great success and I think everyone had a great time!  On top of all that we had our regular stuff - soccer practice, violin practice, and the talent show rehearsal and talent show!  All my girls were beat today heading off to school.  And so am I!

I have a fun weekend ahead though - I finally am able to go scrapping again with friends!  Hope to get lots done (yeah, right!)….

A couple of layouts from the March Bigger than a Breadbox Apron Strings kit to share though…

 

The first is loosely based on a sketch I saw in one of my Scrapbook Generations books….  The letters I used were not included in the kit but I’ve had them in my stash FOREVER so I was glad they worked!  I covered the chipboard stars using the ribbon included in the kit.  It wasn’t the easiest process but I do like how they turned out!

And this layout was based on the included Becky Fleck sketch!  Was such a simple layout but it worked perfectly for these pictures!

The weather is beautiful today, has been most of this week!  It looks to be an awesome weekend so I hope you get to enjoy it!
