Lack of everything....

Man, I still haven't had time to scrap! :-( I keep saying, today is the day I'll sit down and scrap and it just doesn't happen! :-(

I wanted to post a picture of the RAK I'm giving away for my challenge over at Creative Cookbooking. My challenge was to alter something for your kitchen. Make sure and check it out!

I don't even have any pictures of the kiddos to share! *gasp* I know! We have a big event coming up in our little town and I hope it comes with lots of photo opportunities.

Popcorn & Dancing

Here is another layout that is both for a challenge at Creative Cookbooking and Citrus Tree Studio. Creative Cookbooking challenged us to use the colors black, white and gold. Nicole Stark created a fantastic sketch for her challenge at Citrus Tree.

I didn't get many pictures on Mother's Day. Here is one of Maddy and her Uncle Coco dancing!

And one of the little miss in a skirt and a hair clip. Gotta point those out to all of you who know me well. Oh and notice the pink strip in the skirt! *wink*

I've been busy working on DT projects, so make sure and check back soon as I can't share them just yet. I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! We are laying sod! Exciting huh?

Poop Cookies and Pictures

This layout is for a challenge over at Creative Cookbooking AND at Citrus Tree Studio. Creative Coookbooking GDT Tara challenged to scrap about something your mom cooked for you as a child and that you now cook for your children. Citrus Tree Studio's DT Tammy challenged us to sew. Well, what else other than Poop cookies? Funny thing is, both Chris and my mom have made these FOREVER. They are really chocolate no bake cookies, but take a look at them and you see where their name came from! ;-)

I came across this fun cooking paper from Moxxie at our lss. I've also had a sketch from Stacey I've been wanting to use for a while.
This was Peytons first time helping me make cookies. He wanted to wear a hat (coffee filter) while he helped me cook. Isn't he cute?

We had a garage sale this past weekend. I caught Peyton playing in the baby stuff.....

Yep, enough said there.....

That afternoon we went out to Kah-Nee-Tah for a Chamber event. I made the mistake of not trying on my dress (*ahem* from my Junior Prom) BEFORE we went down there. Come to find out the seem in the rear of the dress was opening up. Chris to the rescue......

This past Sunday we were up at my parents house visiting for a while. My Grandpa happened to be there also. He was taken with Maddy and Maddy with him. At one point she grabbed a hold of his finger and took off for a walk. lol...

Creative Cookbooking Challenge

I joined Creative Cookbooking a few weeks ago. On National Scrapbooking Day they had a weekend crop. They had an Iron Chef challenge with a secret ingredient. The winner was going to be June's GD! The challenge, to scraplift a layout done by one of the DT and the secret ingredient was chipboard.

I chose to scraplift Suzanne's Kahlua Dump Cake layout.
Here is my take on the layout:

My good friend Tammy gave me some fun new scrapbooking goodies for my birthday and I couldn't wait to use them.

I did lots of stitching and used my new border punches. I also layered a couple chipboard frames to create a flower. The bracket is also a frame cut in half.

So there you have it! And I'm excited to say that I won the Iron Chef title! Wahoo! Make sure and come check us out! It is a friendly community!

The little miss is proving to be quite independent. Well that and opinionated. lol...I had tried before but she doesn't like you showing her how to do it. I finally gave in and stripped her down and let her have at it. You can tell, she did pretty good, but I think its because she wasn't getting much on her spoon.

I normally don't feed her baby food. But I was tring to get prunes into her. lol...Any guess why? haha...She's gonna kill me some day for saying that!

Oh, and I drew a name for my give-away here. The winner is miss Paisley Petals, aka Karen! Whoot Whoot! If you could e-mail me your addy Karen, I'll get the goodies off to you soon!

NSD Card and Layout

I was able to do a couple layouts and a card for the National Scrapbook Day challenges over the weekend. There was a challenge at Citrus Tree Studio to use a banner. I created this card:

The patterned papers are Imaginisce. The cute little fox is an Imaginisce stamp and I used Tombow markers to color it in. I left it blank cause sometimes its nice just to have a card with no sentiment.

I joined Creative Cookbooking . Karen posted a fantastic 2-page sketch. I couldn't come up with enough photos to make a 2-pager so I squeezed the sketch down to a one page layout. Here Maddy is taking her first bite of a hamburger. It still cracks me up how she loves to eat hamburgers.
Most of the patterned papers are My Minds Eye. I'm not overly happy with the layout, but can't figure out what I don't like about it, so just left it the way it is. :-)

A few photos of the crazy munchkins...
