So, I was in a pretty good routine posting here, and then…hello baseball season! Oh, and the end of the year madness. I’m struggling to catch a breath these days, but here in a few weeks I will get to take a really big deep breath for the whole summer!
I’m just going to skip to the chase and post all the layouts I’ve done recently and hopefully get back on track this weekend! Some were done as CT layouts, and others as part of all the festivities for iNSD, which I didn’t get to really get in to as much as I would have liked.

I love Saturdays, especially the evening after all the chores are done, the house is clean, and I am looking forward to just surfing around and admiring all the beautiful layouts in the galleries.
I thought I’d stop and take a few minutes to come by and share my layouts for this past week. Click on the photos to take you to the shops!!
Just Jaimee’s new templates for this week are awesome!! And inspired by one of my favorite scrappers – MissLoveScraps. I also used the April Storyteller Collection for this one.

Tomorrow, I intend on getting caught back up on my Life in Pockets and get some updated planner pictures. I am wayyy behind on that! Hope you all have a great rest of the weekend!! Peace, out…
This is what I need more of these days…simplicity! The last month or so has been a big crazy, sad, stressful blur. Simplicity is so underrated.
I’ve really needed it in my scrpabooking life, too. Â 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

Wednesday also means it is SOSN at The Lilypad! So many great deals to be had. I didn’t get an opportunity to play with much, but I did get a new page done with Danyale’s Morning Coffee Kit and Word Art. It also uses Valorie Wibbens amazing new templates – A Bit Worn Topography No. 2Â
Hope the rest of the week brings more simplicity!! Peace, out…
This has really been a rough couple of weeks for my family. I mentioned in my post last week that we just attended the funeral for one of my uncles, and then on Monday we got the news that another of my uncles had passed away. We’ll be attending his funeral tomorrow. They both led long full lives, but it is still so hard to let go and say good-bye. I have no doubt that those two and my dad are filling Heaven with some serious laughter!! Oh my, the stories those boys could tell. All of us could sit and listen to them for hours! I need to take some time at some point to tell some of their stories.
I guess that goes back again to why I take time to scrapbook. To tell the stories, even if it is only with pictures sometimes. I’m not the best journaler, but I am trying! I am thankful to find a little down time tonight to come by and share new layouts with my designers amazing new products for this week!
At The Lilypad, Etc. by Danyale has a new chapter in her Lifetime Stories series. I used the original in this layout as well and everything works so beautifully together.

Also at The Lilypad, Just Jaimee has a gorgeous new collab that coordinates with the April Storyteller. Her collab partner this time is the amazing Creashens!

All kinds of sales! Bring them on! I very seldom buy anything that is not on sale and I am proud to say that I have even trained my daughter to head straight for the clearance racks no matter where we go!!
The same holds true for digiscrapping! I love the sales!! And there are some great ones going on right now!!

And I am spending it sick! Of course, the first weekend I have free in months and I feel like crap. I hadn’t really planned on doing anything anyway, but not feeling like doing anything is different somehow. Basketball ended last Monday, and C’s team won 1st place in the tournament! Now we have about a month off until baseball starts up and we are on the road again!
Swinging by today because of the awesomeness that is going on this weekend. First of all, it’s BYOC at The Lilypad! Omgosh, I am so in love with everything!! Here are some pages I did, and I will have more to come soon!

Yes, there’s still one more day in February this year, but basically it’s the end, right? I’m done with it and ready for the month that brings Spring and Daylight Savings Time! Bring on March!! We had fabulous 65 degree weather today and it’s supposed to be nice for the next couple of days before turning cold again. But at least I know the cold days are numbered now.
Thought I would swing by and share a few pages for this week and tell you about something fun coming up for this Leap Day!
First up, the pages:

And The Lilypad is planning lots of fun and games for Leap Day. There will be an awesome sale going on, with select products at $2.29, games in the forum, and a fun chat tomorrow night. Here are a couple of things you will find on sale tomorrow:

I’m afraid I am going to miss most of it. My son’s basketball team plays for the championship tomorrow night. It’s a double elimination tournament and we haven’t lost yet. So, what that means is that we play at 7…if we win, we are champions and it’s over, if we lose, we play again at 9pm! Really hoping we win that first game or it will be a long night! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday evening!! Peace, out…
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

I’m getting ready to work on my planner a bit before chores and then hopefully be back with updates to it and my Life in Pockets this weekend. Hope you have a fantastic Saturday!! Peace, out…
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.
