Saturday Night’s Alright…

I kind of love Saturday nights. Not that I ever do anything really exciting, but I feel like it’s a good time to catch up with the world. And now I’m going to catch up on uploading some layouts 🙂 All of these kits are still on sale, so make sure and check them out if you get a chance.

First up is Etc by Danyale’s Chapter No. 2 – Slightly Worn. It is fantastic paired with the Lifetime Stories Collection

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.

I also used it for this week’s Life in Pockets Spread along with her Stitched Pockets

Next, Traci Reed has an awesome new kit called Rugged, and it is beyond great for those guys in my life!

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 🙂

Ahhh Sunday

Sundays are bittersweet. They are so nice and relaxing, no pressure to do anything except make sure everything is ready for the upcoming week. But there is the bitter part – upcoming week. It’s all good, routines are nice sometimes.

Stopping by here quickly to share my pages for this week. My guest spot at TLP is coming to an end. It’s been super fun and I hope I get the chance to work with all of them again. And also, if you haven’t see the news, Amy Martin is retiring and her store will be closing tomorrow. This makes me very sad. She was one of the reasons I started shopping at TLP and I will miss her templates a lot! She does have a fantastic sale going on, so get there before they are gone – Amy Martin Shop.

On to the pages:

First up is Enjoy the Ride by ForeverJoy Designs. Absolutely gorgeous kit!!

Next up is Sergeant Sillypants by Tracy Reed and Amanda Yi. These two make an awesome pair.

Layout overload…

I’m a bit behind on posting again. My only excuse this time is trying to get back in to the swing of being back at work. What a crazy week! And I don’t feel any more prepared for my students than when it started. We have relatively little time actually working in our classroom. Most of the time is spent in meeting after meeting. But, as I always say, the kids will come…ready or not!

Anyway, I thought I would take the time to come by and share my pages in case anyone is interested in checking out these amazing kits while you can still get them on sale!!

TGIF!

Well, normally I would be happy to see Fridays come, but this one not so much. It is technically my last day of summer vacation. Looking on the bright side, let the countdown begin again! Part of me does crave the routine of the school year, but the evenings do become so rushed and there never seems to be enough down-time. But like it or not…here it comes again!

Fridays are pretty awesome in the digi-world. Lots of gorgeous new releases! I have a few new pages to share.

First up is Lifetime Stories Kit and Document Set by Etc. by Danyale at The Lilypad. I did this page for the Journaling Challenge.

I am totally enjoying being a Guest Polly for this month, especially since I get to work with amazing designers like Sissy Sparrows. It’s been a bit since I got to play with one of their kits and they are so fabulous. This one is The Marble Jar.

Over at Pixels and Company Celeste Smith has curated this adorable kit called Foodie. that is a great compliment to the August Collection as well as a great stand-alone kit.

Curated: Foodie by Pixels and Company and Blueprint No. 14 by Gennifer Bursett

And last but certainly not least, and brand new tonight, is Little Miss Sunshine by Traci Reed. Adorable!

Looking forward to a relaxing last weekend before the rush begins. Enjoy yours!!

What’s old is new again…

I am having a really great time working on some pieces for M’s room that I’m turning in to my space. Last night, I painted a chair and worked on a couple of new wine bottles. Not as in drank the wine, but painted empty ones. I’m not sure on the color just yet. It looked like what I wanted in the store, but now I’m not sure. I’ll have to see how it comes together.

And along the same lines…it’s SOSN (Something Old Something New) at The Lilypad today! I have a few layouts that I’m working on getting uploaded to galleries this morning.

First up is Chasing the Sun by Amy Wolff, using Laid Out template by Amy Martin

I’m out for now…Have to take DH to the dentist and maybe take C shopping for some school clothes while we wait. Have a great rest of the day!! Peace, out…

Winding down…

Summer is winding down and I am slowly coming to terms with that fact. I’ve had to work several days this last couple of weeks, so I think that’s kind of easing me back in to things. I finished up my transformation of M’s room in to a new office for me and I will share photos of that in a new post. There are a few things I didn’t get to this summer, but no point in stressing about it. It is what it is. We’ve had a good time and been able to do some really fun things. I have one week left and I hope to pack as much fun in to it as possible!

The best thing about it being August for me is the fact that I am a Guest Polly at The Lilypad this month and getting to work with some absolutely amazing designers and scrappers! I think I have scrapped more this week that I have all summer. Look out…here come all the layouts…

River~Rose has a new guest spot at Ginger Scraps and I love this adorable new kit. I used it to scrap M’s kindergarten photo from 15 years ago. One of these days, I’ll be caught up on their childhood lol.

Whew! Thanks for hanging with me. I’m off to see what I can get in to today and hopefully get some more scrapping done. Have a great Sunday!!

It’s going quickly…

Summer vacation, that is. It’s been a short one this year. “They” decided that the school calendar needed adjusting, with school starting and ending earlier. But in order to make that happen, we have to deal with a couple of unusually short summers. I have a couple of weeks left, but, most of this coming week, I will be spending at work on some extra duty building a new curriculum for the coming year. That will leave me with one week to fill with all the things I haven’t been able to do yet. I have accomplished quite a few things, but there is still so much to do. Never enough time. C and I took off last weekend and went to Carowinds with A, his wife, and daughter. We had a blast, but were worn out. I love that we’ve been able to get away some this summer, but it seems like it takes days to get ready before we go and days to recover when we get back. I’ve spent some time working in M’s old room some more this week. We tore up the carpet in there and are almost done painting the sub floor. I just need to get my big area rug and move all of my stuff in there. It will be nice to have my own private space. I’m going to try to post some pictures of the process when I am finished.

It’s an exciting month in my scrappy time. I’m guesting this month at The Lilypad! Also, one of my favorite people, Etc. by Danyale, is also guest designing there this month. I’m super excited. I need to get my gallery here all caught up and get back on track with my Life in Pockets. These are some of the layouts I have created since the last time I was here:
