MLAS Speed Scrap LO

I made a LO for the MLAS Speed Scrap last night using Bubblescrap Design's Classic Bouquet Kit. Purr-fectly Handsome features my friend's cat, DJ. Saturday, I made another LO (DJ on Pink) with DJ as my subject using the same kit!

Yipee...I am on the CT team for Bubblescrap Designs. I will be Mye's CT manager...I am soooo excited. Mye is a new designer and I can't wait to help her business grow! Here is a link to her shop at My Life and Scrap --> Bubblescrap Designs

I finally completed my challenges at MLAS...RJ Hiding (using Forever I Am Changed by Mama Mia Designs) is for the Mystery LO Challenge and Thankful For... (using Mama Mia Designs) is for the Gourmet Challenge.

I also completed a LO for last night's Speed Scrap at Scrapable...I didn't make the actual SS but, I completed the LO! Mugging for the Camera features Darryl and Jaseon and was created using Autumn's Allure by Kathy Winters.

I am in a scrapping mood and hope to do lots of LOs this weekend. I will be making LOs with 2 of Mye's new kits and the awesome December Grab Bag by Mama Mia Designs! Thank goodness I took lots and lots of photos on Thanksgiving!

It's Black Friday!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at my nephew and his partner's house. Darryl was an awesome cook (his ham was sooooo delish!) and Jaseon was a great host. Hubby's family (minus a niece and nephew (they were with their Dad) and 2 of their friends attended the fun event. We had lots of fun taking pictures, playing chess (2 cousins), and chatting! Then, my sis-in-law, niece, and myself were invited to a friend's house to share their Thanksgiving supper...whew, we were too full from lunch to eat very much but, Corey's turkey was soooo moist and Donna's spinach casserole was fabulous! We all came home with a plate for tomorrow, too!

I got my niece to take a few pictures of John and I for the MLAS Lyrics Challenge...I think that the LO turned out awesome! I always have a smile :) on my face when John and I look eye-to-eye!

My only sure plans for Black Friday are to go to Albertson's for the 77 cents frozen veggies! I may go to Target to get a $3 toaster but, I doubt if I will be going early!

Hmmmmm...

Hummmm...November is flying by...one month until CHRISTmas! Yesterday was the anniversary of my Mom's death...23 years ago. I still miss her so much! I decided to honor her with my LO for the MLAS Desktop Challenge. It will be my December desktop...her birthday was December 23. (When she married my Dad, she told him that there would always be 2 gifts for her in December!!! LOL!!!)

I have a few more challlenges to complete at MLAS...I need a new picture of John and I for the Lyric Challenge and I need to complete the Mystery Lift. I have new kits for my Nov. Designers...so, I should complete the challenges soon!

I have a surprise...I am on a new CT Team...will announce it on here when the designer annouces it! I am excited because I really like her work! :)

Blog It!

The 2nd half of Scrapable's Blog It! Challenge is for me to describe my history of how I became a digital scrapper.

Well, I really don't remember what made me start...I guess that I was just cruising around the Internet and found several sites and layouts. I do know that John gave me a digital camera that Christmas and on Feb. 14, 2004, I made my first layout. Mirror Image featured a photo that he took of himself looking up at the mirror (through the fan) in our (then) living room. I posted my layout at Scrapbook Bytes...Mirror Image. I think that the layout inspired my creativity to continue this fantastic art form.

I had a blast until May of 05, then, we moved and the Internet was no longer available. I was lost without my creative outlet until 12/07...and, I have been constantly creating layouts since then! I even continued making layouts when we didn't have the Internet for about 5 months by using the free Internet sources in Lafayette. (I was a regular at Chick-fil-a!)

I love digital scrapping and hope to one day get into the area of designing...stay tuned for more on this!!!

Who Am I? LO

I just completed this LO of Molly...I scraplifted the Who Am I? layout of carrie1977. Molly is such a special girl...we love her sooooo much (even when she is digging in the kitchen cabinets, attacking the wooden zebra in the window at 3 am, and the other mischievious antics of a cat)!
