Happy DSD!

Hope everyone is enjoying Digital Scrapbook Day! I’ve been trying to hang around as much as possible and I’ve taken advantage of some great sales! This last week was kind of crazy for me with my birthday and working late because of parent/teacher conferences, but I am so glad that I was also able to get some scrapping in with the awesome new products that have hit the stores for this fun weekend! Check out some of the great stuff you can find and at great prices for DSD:

And now I’m just beat, so I think I’m going to enjoy some couch time and come back to see what fun is going on tomorrow! Have a great weekend!!

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!

Life gets in the way…

No excuse, just haven’t been by for a bit. I haven’t really been doing anything productive, just putting things off lol. I didn’t really do that many pages last week, so I spent some time organizing some files and setting up some tracking pages so that maybe I don’t have so many sticky notes cluttering up my desk! But I do have lots of great stuff to share this week, so here I am!

This is what’s new, in stores, and on sale this week!

Valorie Wibbens has her Add-Ons to Memory Pockets Monthly:

Even though I didn’t come by last week, I did update the gallery with my new pages. You can check them out there if you so desire 🙂 Hope you have a great rest of the weekend!!

TGIF

Love Friday evenings. They are my “do nothing” evenings…no chores, no cooking (well, I did pop a pizza in the oven), no homework…just staring blankly at the internet for a bit and sometimes cuddling on the couch with my dog and the little guy. And that was the idea behind one of my pages for this week using Let’s Stay Home by River~Rose:

Let's Stay Home by River~Rose

And It’s October, and that means thinking about all the great scary ghoulish things going on! A couple of years ago around this time we visited the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. It is such a cool place! I would love to go back and do one of their paranormal tours sometime! I couldn’t resist using the photos I took there with Danyale’s new kit – Haunted Halls! Her Halloween kits are always amazing!

Tomorrow I am off to a rally for public education and hoping it makes a difference. We need more support! Wish us luck! And have a great rest of your weekend! Peace, out…

 

Simply Sunday…

There is something so peaceful about Sundays…especially rainy ones. I so love the simple things on Sundays. I’m swinging by here today to share the layouts I did for Simple Scrapper this month. If you have not checked out the Premium Membership at Simple Scrapper then you really should. It is such a supportive community and full of inspiration and motivation to get you scrapping purposefully!

I loved the Story Starters and Templates this month and had a great time creating with them! For the first layout, I chose to describe myself using only word art. This was fun and I tried to describe myself the way I am most of the time! I used Think Happy Be Happy by Amy Wolff.

For the next one, I used a story starter all about my current camera and used a kit by Etc. by Danyale called Musings.

Happy Friday!!

So glad to see Friday get here!! It has been a busy and tiring week. Time to recharge the batteries and get some neglected things done. Hopefully there will be time to get outside and do some things before the weather starts turning colder. We had 6 trees cut down in our yard this week, so everything is in a bit of a mess.

I have a few pages to share this evening, and all these kits are live and on sale now!

First up, September Wolff Pack by Amy Wolff. I love everything about these pieces. I paired up the new releases with her kit Think Happy Be Happy.

Sunday comes so fast…

Man, do the weekends ever fly by! Chilly and rainy Sunday here. I am so not ready to let go of summer! I think I would enjoy fall a whole lot more if it didn’t mean that winter was right behind or if I didn’t have a ton of leaves to deal with in the mean time. But it’s coming whether I like it or not. I did get my first Pumpkin Spice Latte on Friday and that makes me very happy! Plus football has started!

Swinging by here this morning to show off some of the amazing designs that I had the pleasure of working with this week. You can still catch them on sale and they are all fabulous!!

First up… I am so excited to now be a part of Sahin Designs Creative Team. Here designs are so amazing!! This one is called Monochrome Fall and it’s available at The Digital Press and her Personal Store.

Ahhh Labor Day

Starting school earlier this year was not on my list of favorite things ever, but I have to say it is nice to have a little break after only a couple of weeks. Usually we have to wait until Thanksgiving for a day off. I’m trying to enjoy every minute of it and not rush through all I have to do like normal weekends. I meant to come by earlier today to share this week’s pages, but I worked on catching up on my Life in Pockets a bit this morning and then mowed grass this afternoon. Mom came by for a bit and then it was time to cook dinner.

Lots of beautiful new stuff this weekend and there’s still time to get it on sale! I have a few layouts using BYOC products at TLP…mixing and matching by Etc. by Danyale, Amy Wolff, and Valorie Wibbens. You can still catch these on sale if you hurry 🙂
