Layout contest

My local scrapbook store had a layout contest using the new MME Penny Lane line. I submitted my layout and they are up for voting on their blog: http://heartlandpaper.typepad.com/heartland_paper/2009/02/my-minds-eye-layout-contest.html

Mine is called Beach Time. Of course, vote for the one you think should win...but if happens to be mine, thank you, thank you!!!! :) (The email link to vote isn't working...but here it is- heartlandblog@gmail.com They reposted it in a later post.) It was a fun page to create!!! Here's my layout-

Readers

I really hope my kids continue to love reading as they grow older. Here they are just a few minutes ago. They love to look at books and to have me read to them. (No, they can't read on their own yet! LOL but Joshua has been learning quite a few "sight" words.) We have books everywhere! They end up in every room!

A new layout

I went to a crop last night and got a few pages finished. All but one are for the Sketchapalooza class starting in a couple of weeks!! (I can't share those until after the class is over.) Here's the info if you are interested in taking it. The sketch classes at Feeling Scrappy are always a lot of fun and I get a TON finished. http://feelingscrappyclasses.blogspot.com/search/label/Classes

Here's the one page I finished that wasn't for the class. I used one of Becky Fleck's sketches on Page Maps. Love her sketches!!! We were challenged to use this particular sketch on Scrap 4 Life.

I hope you are having a great weekend!!!

Year of Cheer

We recently finished up our Year of Cheer class on Feeling Scrappy. We had a blast hanging out and sharing our creations. Here are a few peeks at some of my cards and the box I made.

Blog award

Two of my good friends, Char and Jayne bestowed a friendship blog award upon me! You are so sweet! Thanks!

Here is the description of the award:
“These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.”
As for my eight friends, I will pass this on to:
1. Emily
2. Stacy
3. Michelle
4. Gwen
5. Jessica
6. Joanie
7. Ginger
8. Joanne

Share the love! And a new layout...

Passing this along. I got this from Rachel! Sounds fun! What do you think?

This is how it works..... The first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive a hand made gift from me during this year. When and what will be a surprise. BUT, in order for you to receive the gift you need to leave a comment on my blog and you have to post this on your blog. (That means that sometime during this year you will send a gift to 3 people as well.) Get it? So, the first 3 people to comment on this post will be the lucky ones!

And here's another layout I made for the Scrap4life crop. I made several more but this was my fave of the bunch. I used the February Hello Beautiful Kit from Paper Popsicles.

Have a wonderful day!!!!!

A couple of layouts, card, etc.

First I just want to say that you all have been sooo sweet to leave me comments lately!!! I LOVE comments-they totally make my day!!!! You are awesome!!! Thank you thank you!!!
And now down to business-

So THIS is what a craft cupboard is for!!!

I also made a few cards for Jen's challenge over at Scrap4life. Here's my fave of the bunch. I used the sketch from the 2sketches4you blog.

Here are a couple more layouts for the Scrap4life crop this week. I actually made more than this but I don't LOVE all of them. LOL So here's just a couple of them. :)

Hope you are having a great week!!!!!!
