A couple layouts and a furniture make-over

Pardon the bad coloring in this picture.  My phone takes the clearest pictures but struggles with lighting.  A few weekends ago Birds of a Feather had a Back to School Crop.  I was able to complete a few challenges.  One challenge was title 'old school'.  These photos were 2 years old and the papers are easily that old or even older (I'm thinking around 5 or 6 years old).  I just loved that Basic Grey Christmas line though, so pretty!  I used a sketch, and will be back soon to give credit to the person who drew the sketch.  

 Next up is my take on the challenge to use your school colors.  It is pretty sad that after a few tail-gating experiences I have but a couple photos.  I think it is because it was my first time experiencing that and I was soaking it all in.  I had fun with this layout.  Again, super simple, but that is my style lately!

Maddy has collected quite a few princess dress up dresses.  They had been in a treasure box, but we ran out of room.  So I taped a box together, cut one side off and then two holes and put a wrapping paper tub through the holes to create her a place to hang her dresses.  

 Then a friend of mine was moving and getting rid of an entertainment center.  I thought to myself, that would be a great piece of furniture to get.  I could get rid of the storage piece Maddy had in her room that just wasn't working and alter this entertainment center to put in its place.  Here is the entertainment center:

And I turned it into this:  

I didn't take the time to pick up her room and make it all organized and pretty.  Sorry....  I put a little bar at the top of the larger section and she is now able to hang all of her dresses up there and keep all the other dress up things (shoes, wants, tiara's, etc) in the trunk (in the bottom right cubby).

Thank you Janelle!  I love it and so does Maddy!

GO BEAVERS!!!

Tomorrow is the Oregon College Football Civil War! Chris's work had a little competition in 'team spirit'. They decorated up their branch and all dressed in their team of choice gear. Of course, we had to have Maddy and and Peyton help with their cuteness. So I put Maddy in her cheerleader outfit and Peyton in his t-shirt and took them down their for pictures. The girls did a fantastic job...everything looked so good!

I was bummed Chris had is eyes shut. It was quite difficult to get the kids facing the right direction let alone smiling.

Can you tell who we are cheering for?

GO BEAVS!

I head out to set up for my Christmas Bazaar tonight! Wish me luck! I'm so so so nervous! This is my first one so I have no clue what to expect!

Altered Frames

Hello! I thought I'd share a couple more projects for my bazaar.

This is a 8x10 frame using really old MME paper.
I had made a bunch of these flowers a while back. Looking at them on the frame, I think I need to make more, I kinda like them!

Then a baby boy frame.
I used scraps from when Peyton was born! *gasp* I know, but I still like them and figured if I do someone else might. Right?
I'm digging the layering of embellies I'm seeing out their in the blog world and having fun doing it myself!

I LOVE Maddy's expression in this one! She just cracks me up! Chris and Miss Maddy were watching a OSU Football game.
Yes, on occasion I do do her hair. But she messes it up within minutes, so I rarely worry about it anymore. I can have her in cute pigtails ready to go to town and run to the bathroom and come out to her hair down. :-/

Thanks for stopping by!

Peyton at 3

This is a layout I did for a Shelly's challenge at Citrus Tree Studio. It was a color challenge, blue, gold/yellow and white. She added a twist though, to use 11 of the same embellie. I had these photos for some time now and have struggled scrapping them. This was the perfect challenge to get them scrapped.

I used up some random pieces of paper I had too. I don't do that often enough and quite enjoyed it.

My dad came down to visit a while back and it just so happened that him and the kids had OSU Beavers outfits on (must have been the bowl game day). This is one of my favorite pictures at the moment.

We put in an offer on a house in the next town over (about 30 min. away). We are anxiously awaiting the appraisal that should be happening this week. Chris and I made a lot of headway on the garage. We did a lot of pushing junk from one side to the other. But it is at least somewhat better, at least I think it is! Soon I will start the packing process as I have a feeling it will take me long this time now that Little Miss is into everything!
