Throwback Thursday and Some Scrap

I always have the best time looking back through old photos and trying to decide on my Throwback Thursday (#tbt). I try to rotate through all of my children and throw in a little of my childhood sometimes. This week I chose one of my favorites of A when he was about 4. This photo was taken on a road trip to Kings Island. Not sure exactly why he put the Happy Meal box on his head, he’s just goofy like that.

I didn’t scrap much at all this week. Most of the designers that I CT for took the week off. I think everyone was a little hungover and needed a break from iNSD. So, I just have a couple of layouts to share.

Tracy’s kits always make me happy and this one is no exception. Her papers are drool worthy, let me just tell you. New this week from Tracy Martin is Little Sew & Sew. I paired it up with an awesome new template from Andrea – Little Green Frog – called Rule of Thumb. These are awesome!!

And new this week are some more awesome templates by Cheryl – Fiddle-Dee-Dee Designs. These are called Fuss Free: My Scrapbook Art 2. I paired it up with a gorgeous kit by Etc by Danyale called Garden View. Goes right along with the flower love I have going on right now!

So excited that tomorrow is Friday and we are going to be under 20 days of school left! Wooo Hooo!! Hope you all have a wonderful end to your week!!

iNSD and Other Craziness

Wow, this was one crazy week. Both in the scrap world and in real life. You can tell it’s getting close to the end of the school year because everyone is getting on each others’ nerves every day. And I’m not just talking about the students, the teachers can be just as bad haha. We are down to just over a month left and I’m not sure there is anyone more excited than me. The past couple of summers and just been, well, crappy. I mean I appreciated the time off, but they weren’t the rejuvenating fun filled times that they should have been. I’m so hoping that this summer is full of fun and memories and sunshine (unlike the rainy one last year).

We also got to do a little celebrating this weekend. My oldest proposed to his girlfriend at Disney World last week, so we all got together for dinner on Friday with her family for a little celebration. She is a wonderful girl and her family seems lovely. I wish them a lifetime of happiness.

In the scrappy world, iNSD is in full swing. There are games, chats, challenges, gifts, sales, and fun everywhere! It’s hard to keep up. I’ll be honest, I tend to bury my head in the sand on some of these big event days because it’s all so overwhelming. The past few years, I haven’t been around much for this one, because it always seemed to fall on prom weekend. No proms this year…kids are grown up. Well, except the one, and I have a few years with him before I start all over and honestly, boys are much easier than girls ha. So, I did manage to scrap quite a bit. There were a few things I had to pass on because I just ran out of time. But I can tell you, these designers work their butts off for this day. I don’t know how they do it all. Here are  the pages I managed to get done during the craziness:

Throwback Thursday and Some Scrappin’

I always have a good time looking back through photos, finding something fun to post for Throwback Thursday. This week I chose a photo from 2006 – C’s favorite game of pulling M’s hair!

Scrappin’ Saturday!

Getting ready to do a little scrapping for the upcoming week, but thought I’d take a minute to share what I’ve done this last week. I am so honored to be creating for some of the most fabulous ladies! You can see all of them with links to their shops on my Creative Teams page. I haven’t done so well keeping the Scrap Pages page updated, but there is a link to one of my galleries there if you are at all interested in seeing more lol. I did, however, update my Project Life 2013 page with the finished result and created Project Life 2014.  But here’s what’s new this week!

Hope everyone has a wonderful blessed Easter!
