Hey chicas!  Join me over at Scrap4Life today!  I'm hosting Scrap4Life's World Cardmaking Day Crop!!!   Jodie (the S4L owner) has some great prize giveaways!!!  

S4L October Kit!

The S4L October Kit is now available for purchase here!  It is gorgeous!!  The papers from October Afternoon are amazing!!!!  Check out the kit!!

Here are a couple of layouts I created with the kit!  You can see what the other S4L girls did here!

Bad Mama!

Soooooo....I'm running late for Daniel's baseball game this past Saturday (like always) and decide, as I'm taking them out of the car, to just put the babies in the stroller, get everyone inside the park and then I'll put on the seat belts once we get there.  Well, minutes after we park ourselves by the bleachers, Jazlyn reaches over to grab something she sees on the ground and well, rolls out of her stroller head first onto the sidewalk!  And this was the result......

I feel terrible!!  And now, I have to face her dad when I go pick him up at the airport tomorrow!  Wish me luck!  hehe!

Yesterday, I was unable to share a couple of other things I did over the weekend.  Here are a couple of projects I did using the S4L September Kit (still available):

"You Can Do It" Card

"I {heart} a Good Book" Bookmark

I also did a few "Thank You" Cards during S4L Cyber Crop!  Check them out!

Oh, I  had almost forgot about this one.  I made this card for my goddaughter who will turn 9 in a couple of weeks.  (Eek!  I hope she's not reading!)  This was based on a sketch by Kazan from 2 Sketches 4 You.  She was hosting the crop at Scrap4Life.

I got my October kit hand-delivered to me this morning by Jodie so I've been playing with that this evening!!  The papers in this kit are gorgeous!!!!  Just a few more days and she will reveal it!!  Woohoo!!!  

Have a BLESSED week!!

S4L September Kit

Well, I finally got to play with my September Kit from Scrap4Life!  Thanks to the online crop that was going on this weekend!!!  I didn't get lots done but hey something is better than nothing!  hehe!

If you haven't seen the kit yet...here it is!  There are only like 3 kits left in the store!!  

And here is what I did with the kit!!  This kit was soooooo much fun!!!  I love the fun colors!   Here's Miss B on her first day of kindergarden!  

And these pics were taken on her last day of Pre-K.  hehe!  She adored her teachers.  I also used a sketch for Pink Sketches for this layout.  

There's my big boy off to middle school!!  Time sure does fly!  I used a sketch for this one, too.  This time it was from So Sketchy.  Fun sketch!

I also got some cards done this weekend!  I'll have to post those tomorrow!  Have a great week full of God's blessings!!

15 Years!

Today, Carlos and I will have been married 15 years!!  Wow!  Time sure does fly!  It feels like yesterday!  I made this card for him using this week's sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You .

Unfortunately, I was unable to give him the card.  His grandmother passed early this morning and so he had to leave to Puerto Rico.  I feel so bad for him.  He adored his grandmother!  Please keep his family in your prayers as they go through this time of sadness.  

A "Scrappy" day for me!

Yesterday, I had a fun "scrappy" day!!  The kids destroyed the house in the meantime but it was all good!!  lol!  I really needed to do some scrappin'!  The in-laws had kept me busy all of last week and then going away for the weekend meant no scrappin' for me.  But I made up for it yesterday!  hehe!  

The first layout was done for two different challenges.  The first challenge was by Scrap4Life and it was to create a layout without a title.  eek!  I always use titles on my layouts.  But it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be (thanks to the S4L girls).  The second challenge I did this for was over at Simply Obsessed.  It was a sketch challenge using the following sketch...such a fun sketch to work with!

The photo was taken while I was visiting Puerto Rico this past summer.  

Supplies Used:  Bazzill Cardstock, Pink Paislee PP & Die-cuts, Doodlebug Paper Frills, Top Line Creations Quote (very old), Colorbox Ink (chestnut roan) and Chocolate Zig Writer

Earlier this month, it was Grandparent's Day.  I always forget that holiday.  Oops!  Well, one of the challenges over at Scrap4Life was to create a layout about grandparents.  These are mine!  And I used another sketch!  This time it was from Pink Sketches.  Have you seen their sketches?!  Wow!  They are awesome.  This particular sketch was from a few weeks ago but you know me, I'm always running late!  LOL!

Supplies Used:  Some very old, old product from Top Line Creations...which no longer exists.

And the last but not least is this layout I did of my oldest son, Daniel.  Another one that I did for two challenges.  hehe!  There's nothing wrong with multi-tasking!  First, I did this for one of the School of Scrap Assignments over at Simply Obsessed.  We were to create a layout using a song from the year we were born (1973).  eek!  I chose "I Believe in You" by Johnnie Taylor.  And other challenge was over at Scrap4Life.  It was the September "Use that Stash" challenge.  This time we had to use up some of those rub-ons.  So I blew off the dust on these Making Memories rub-ons and worked away!  hehe!   I have so many of these!!  Oh,  and I used a sketch for this, also.  Surpise!  hehe!  This time it was from CIS Stylish Sketches.  Another awesome sketch blog!  Isn't this a gorgeous sketch?!  You've got to check out this blog!

Products Used:  TLC Cardstock, Kaiser Craft PP (Cabbage Patch), Autumn Leaves clear buttons, Making Memories rub-ons, Basic Grey letter stickers, 3 Bugs in a Rug Tag, White Uni-bal Pen, Black Zig Writer.  

Oh, and I almost forgot...I did this card using some scrap!  Woohoo!!  I love when I use up my scraps!  

  

And just a friendly reminder...the Scrap4Life Cyber Crop begins tomorrow at midnight!!  Hope to see you there!!!
