It's Monday......

We had a great time camping this weekend and the kids loved it.  My little boy has a nasty cold so he didn't want to do too much.  Anyways, i wanted to do some scrapbooking but jut had no time.  Im hoping this week i can find the time to do some at night.  My husband is away again but i need to get some party decorating done and bake my daughters cake.  Hard to believe she is already four, where did the time go!

Here is yet another double layout from the counterfiet challenge.  This was made using my its raining sunshine kit.  The colors in this kit i loved so using pictures of bright, vibrant flowers was the way to go.  I just love the crochet flowers.

 

He came home early...

Ok so i was excited to be able to scrapbook at night while my husband was away but he came home two days early.  So no scrapbooking.  Oh well,  that just means we are going camping earlier!  So lucky for me i got to finish a couple of layouts using my counterfiet kits.  I am addicted to having the kits available.  its just mind boggling sometimes to come up with and idea for a layout or even what photos to use.  So i have had lots of fun trying to put together different layouts but i want to make some cards as well.
So for my layouts i used my beachy bliss kit.  Like the title i choose to do some water scenes.  I used the may road envelopes to tuck away journaling.  I took the strings off and attaach my own to match the page.  I added lots of embellishments and wood grain paper to create logs.  I added bling to the word phrases  and created a sunshine with bling.  Had to really think of how i was going to do these pages.
Hope you enjoy!

 

Mini Challenge #3 FRAMED

I was excited when i saw this challenge.  So using my main kit called crafty creatures i came up with a layout  of camping.  I used the pages from the kit and cut out the camp sweet camp just to have the curved part.  I then matted the photo on wood grain paper and choose to frame it with the "flowers" from another paper.   i cut out each flower and circle and created a frame around the picture.  I then added a cute bear holding the same flower to the layout to finish it off.
So tell me what you think!

Layout with photo.

Wow!  I guess when the husband goes away on business, and the kids are finally sleeping, i finally have time to get things done.  I honestly thought it would be a while before my husband would be traveling for work as he just got home three weeks ago from being in Germany for six weeks.  My daughter says to me "mommy is daddy going to come home tonight or will he be gone long time again?"  I said "sweetie this time it will only be for a couple of days."  Poor girl i have no idea of what the kids are thinking when daddy goes away now.  But lucky for us he calls every night before they go to bed.

So that being said i had time tonight to put pictures in my layout, create layouts and get all the pictures taken.  Oh and even bake peanut butter cookies for the kids to enjoy tomorrow!  (What a mom)  This is the photo for the layout using my majestic meadow counterfiet kit.

Counterfiet Kit Layout and Cards

I have finally had a little time to do a couple layouts and cards using my kits. I have not included photos yet but i plan to i just have to get them printed. So here they are with the pictures.

These cards and the layout above were all made using my majestic meadow counterfiet add on kit.  I used many different embellishments but i loved using the paper from the DCWV glamor girl scrap pad.  The colors are so girlie.  ENJOY!

 I loved using the glittered butterfly paper because of its vibrant colors.  I was able to match embellishments to the colors of the paper. I used the stella and rose pebbles collection by my minds eye to create the middle of the flower.  They are my new favorite pebbles!

HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY

I hope everyone is enjoying their wonderful st patricks day!  I have been busy with trying to cook up some green stuff.  Ok Ok i didn't come up with too much but here are a few of the things i did manage to cook.
For breakfast the kids had green shammrock shapped french toast.  Lunch was spinach pizza.  Dinner is going to be corn beef and  cabbage but did manage to make a green cake.  I also made some cheese biiscuits and they are yummy.
