New Ts!!

I love T-shirts! These were on a super duper sale!

School of Life albums?

School portraits from this past school year. I completed this at a crop in Ogallala a week ago. Maybe I have already been completing School of Life albums without even knowing it?!

Picture Summer Day 10

I want to remember this......

Have I told you that I HATE glitter!

This layout just reaffirmed for me that glitter in not on my faves list. In fact, I hate it. I love teaching preschoolers but why is it that at least once a week their art project requires the use of glitter? It's like a science experiment gone bad when the bottle explodes all over the project and them and me and the room....the stuff never goes away. I want to call in sick on the days I look at the lesson plan and see that glitter is on it! I think preschool classrooms should come with bright yellow warning signs "CAUTION Glitter in Use!"

So why, I ask myself would I purchase embellishments and letter stickers that are primarily made up of glitter....a) they can add the right touch of elegance to a special layout and b) well, there is no b......so I guess that's why I buy them occasionally and RARELY use them. I do, however like how this turned out (despite the fact that the glitter will be all over the inside of the page protector and one day very soon, be falling to the bottom of it! ugh!)

Little Rabbit Foo-Foo

Little Rabbit Foo-Foo I don't wanna see you scrappin' any pages til you put these away!

"R" Scrapbook Store

Ooooo...I'd love to spend a day, or two, maybe a week scrappin' in this store! Great selections on so many things...so many things I do not need but picked up a few things I couldn't resist knowing I would actually use them. They have so much and yet not the few things I was really looking for.

This store is in Sioux Falls, SD!

Dollar Spot at Target!

I found these goodies in the Dollar Spot at Target! I was inspired to use the pink ones with the girls "Pink Out" pages from football season and thought the aqua themed ones made me think of the Green Stack from DCWV....loads of potential.

This page is 6x8 and will go into a mini chipboard album featuring the kids in their costumes! I hope to hunt down pictures of my sisters and I in our costumes and make another one about me!

Picture Summer Day 3

Picture Summer Day 2

Today the prompt was to capture something that makes a splash. I was bummed thinking I certainly wouldn't get an pool pictures today with no kids in sight (went scrappin'). So I thought I'd have to be creative with something...stage a water balloon blowing up session or a water gun fight or perhaps, my lone glass of iced tea.

Fortunately, the forecast was for rain and I was able to capture some rain scenes. Now I need to chose which one to upload to BPS????

Picture Summer Day 1

Picture Summer is a photo class offered at Big Picture Scrapbooking. Today we were to photograph something that means summer to you. I really wanted to take a picture of my feet in my flip flops because I really love that about summer....but I need a pedicure ...BAD! So I stepped outside and captured these flowers by the house. I really like how the lone red one was in the middle of the white cluster!!

Create something colorful each day!

Oh, these little things make me so happy! Fun colors! You Tube has been a fun resource this summer for researching how to create things!

The Need to Create!

This was project I have been planning for a long time and finally on Monday purchased the right material to complete it! Flannel on one side and fleece on the other. A little bit of sewing was needed to make the tied edges work. I LOVE the colors....so pretty!

Baker's Dozen Layout

Here I took envelope # 7 and add the embellishments from the egg carton spot #4 and this is what I got. Still working on Disney.....

Baker's Dozen Class

I am trying to get myself organized to start a class a Big Picture Scrapbooking. So far I have all the supplies gathered. The message board gals say that is the hardest part! Here is my decorated egg carton and the goodies inside. I will post completed assignments here soon!
