Something Old, Something New…

Another snow day today. I’m telling you, they are getting old quickly. It’s not like having days off when it’s nice out and you can do things. Being trapped in the house is no fun, at least not for me. And I have had no motivation to do much of anything. It’s been a pretty unproductive time, with the exception of the usual laundry, cooking, dishes, repeat.

I have been able to stay pretty much caught up with scrapping, even though I have a week of PL to do. I think I will do it in the morning since we will be home AGAIN. And ohhh it’s still $2 Tuesday at The Digichick and there are some great deals to be had!! I did this page for MEG Designs:

Everyday-Life — Save This Date by MEG Designs Easy Frames No. 1 by MEG Designs 7 Days Templates by MEG Designs

And the Penny Saver is still going on at The Digital Press. This page was done with a new release from River~Rose:

Note to Self Papers and Elements by River~Rose Good Day Templates by Sahin Designs

It’s also time for SOSN at The Lilypad!! I always look forward to Tuesday nights/Wednesdays for this reason!! Here are pages with new stuff from Etc. by Danyale, Amy Wolff, and Just Jaimee:

Imagination_zps2c6f0f8a — He’s A Mess by Etc. by Danyale

Heart600 — A Stacked Mess by Just Jaimee Stacked Frames by Just Jaimee Obsessed Collab by Just Jaimee and Studio Basic

Never — Pixie Dust Papers, Elements and Charm Alpha by Amy Wolff

That’s it from me tonight! Make sure to check out the great sales and I’ll be back soon!! Peace, out…

Happy Valentine’s Day

We don’t do much to celebrate around here. I usually pick up a little candy for the kids and that’s about it. I’ve never been a big fan. I guess it’s fun for some and can be a special day, but it seems kind of forced to me. I don’t like cut flowers from the florist and my husband knows that if he comes home with them, I will probably fuss about the waste of money hahaha. To me, it is more special to get a rose from the convenience store on a random Tuesday than a dozen on a day you are “supposed” to do it. But I digress. I didn’t come here today to dump on Valentine’s Day. If you love it, celebrate it…if you don’t, celebrate something else about today.

I’m really here to share all the fabulous new releases in the digi-world! I’m telling you, these designers blow me away every single week! I have some pages from earlier in the week that I didn’t get here to share

Simply Monday

And a snowy one here. I am totally ready for winter to be over and spring to make it’s appearance. But I guess it will happen in its own time. We had a one hour early release today because of some impending weather. It’s supposed to snow on and off for the next few days. Right now, they have us on a delay for tomorrow. I guess we’ll see what the overnight brings.

I thought I would take a minute to share the layouts that I did for Simple Scrapper this month. I love being a part of the team at Simple Scrapper. I really feel like it helps me to create some meaningful, purposeful layouts and inspires me to create pages that I may not have thought of otherwise. The Premium Membership offers exclusive content and a supportive, generous, and inspiring community. Some of the benefits include a private Facebook group, Spark Magazine, chats, podcasts, sketches, and story starters. Totally awesome! And here are my pages for this month

Saturday — Fireside Kit by Sahin Designs Sketch from Simple Scrapper Premium Membership

And if all that is not enough. It’s time for Photo Crush!! This is a free event from Simple Scrapper! It is a 7 day photo organization challenge to “help you escape from photo chaos and create a digital photo library you love.” I know I need all the help with this that I can get. And did I mention that it’s FREE?! It starts Feb. 16, so sign up today!!

Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy the rest of your Monday!! Peace, out…

MOC 2016

And I’m done. MOC 2016 at The Lilypad is in the books. I had a great time participating in all the challenges and gained some new tools and amazing inspiration. I am always so glad I decided to jump in and play along. It’s always great fun to go digging back in my stash to find the perfect kit for each of the challenges. Here are my pages (they are not in order)…for full credits, check out my gallery here: http://the-lilypad.com/forum/galleries/users/intensemagic.3890/

Short and Sweet

We did finally go back to work/school on Thursday. They eased us in with a couple of two hour delays! It was a nice little break, but I don’t much like not being able to go anywhere and spending most of my time off shoveling.

I’ve done quite a bit of scrapping during MOC at The Lilypad. The last challenge is tomorrow and if I get it done in the morning I will come back and share all the pages I did for that. I’m excited that I was able to finish again for the third year. It’s so much fun and some of my favorite pages come out of it.

Outside of that, there are some fantastic new releases in the stores this weekend. Here is what I have from my fabulous designers. Make sure to check them out when you get a chance.

Snow, snow, snow…and some scrapping

So, yeah, we’re snowed in. I guess you’d have to live under a rock not to know about Winter Storm Jonas on the east coast. Not sure if I’ve mentioned it, but I really hate snow. Sure, I love a day off as much as the next guy/girl, but when I can’t get out of my house, I am not a happy camper. It’s not that I really have anywhere in particular to go, I just like to be able to go if I need to. I haven’t measured how much we have, I don’t care, it’s too much. And we’ll have to spend at least one whole day off shoveling. What kind of fun is that??

Anyway, nothing I can do about that. We’re stuck. The snow days have at least helped me keep up with scrapping and with MOC at The Lilypad. I really love it. I don’t think I have shared any of those pages just yet, so I may wait until the end and just share them all in one post 🙂 But I did also get to play with some awesome new goodies this week and I have added them to my Scrap Pages gallery.

Planner Update

I am really having a wonderful time updating and decorating my planner.

I added little journal cards for each week to be able to have more space to write down memories since my planner seems to be working best for tracking CT work and blog planning.

Week 2-1.jpg

I also added a small pocket to each week for stashing photos for the week or little momentos.

January 16, 2016

Gahhhh!

Ok, so this was not supposed to be the title of this blog post, but that’s pretty much what I’m feeling right now. I thought I would come here and get caught up on everything really quick, but my computer or this site or something is not cooperating with me and everything is taking about 10x longer than it should!

I have this huge plan of being better about coming here and so far I have not done well with that at all, despite writing it in my planner haha. But now I am frustrated and out of patience so without much other wording, let me just get up to speed with sharing layouts from the amazing talented ladies that I work for!

Crazy busy

I thought we were going to get off easy this year with Halloween being on Saturday. Not so much. Instead, it turned in to a two day ordeal and 3x the make-up. C had to be ready for his Halloween party at school on Friday, and I played with some make-up on myself. Then, right after school, we re-did the make-up and went to work with A at the Rescue Squad’s haunted house. It was a lot of fun, but made for a really long day. We didn’t get home until about midnight. We did make-up again on Saturday for trick-or-treat. I have had my fill of candy :p

Today, we went to mom’s to celebrate my birthday a couple of days early. My sister, her husband, and one of her daughters and her husband came. But the best part was having all 3 of my kids, my daughter-in-law, and my granddaughter all together. We are so seldom any more it seems. Having grown children is different for sure. We are supposed to go out to dinner on Tuesday for my actual birthday. And Thursday is parent/teacher conferences, which means staying at work until 7. Going to be a long week!

Now to update some scrap pages from this weekend… there’s still time to catch them on sale if you hurry!
