PHEW! what a a weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!

i scrapped and cropped 'til i couldn't crop no more!

it was fun too! there was a crop at Serendipity and Scrapperie and Friday night boredom fighters at Scrapadilly and i was determined to finish stuff for all of them! oh Bonnie has some awesome scalloped albums in the store too!

And we played cards {Texas Hold 'em} at our friend's friday night, had birthday cake and played wiffle ball on Saturday night at another friend's house AND went to the inlaws and then went swimming sunday. no wonder i was tired last night! but we did have ice cream for dinner that night so yum!!!!

Let me tell you. I am in love with my kit from Simply Obsessed {2nd lo}and the new Websters papers {3rd lo}! check them out!!!

Who wants a sneaky peaky? Oh, boy...too much time with the kids this week. Henry has been running a fever so I have been home and up with him at night. Man, that poor, sore, crusty nose makes me feel so badly!

And owen is a hoot. He always wants to go to the park. We really need a swing set or something.

Here is a peak of something I worked on for Serendipity Scrapbooks.

I also made this little box for brian for our 5 year anniversary. I got diamond earings and he got this! LOL. I call it the Lucky In love box! LOOOOVE this felt fusion from Queen & Co! Got some of the fish! I made it for HSS's GDT challenge to scrap something about a man, for a man, ykwim ;) !!!

Well, it has been a long few weeks but FUN! the beach was awesome and the wine festival this weekend ROCKED!i had a blast but now it is time to get back to reality. OH! and we found an awesome place for sushi when we were looking at houses. YUMMY! it was so good. we put our house on the market so say a prayer for us or send some positive house selling vibes our way!

Here are a few things I have been working on. This one was for a challenge over at Simply Obsessed to have a 3D obect on your page. I used mostly Scarlet Lime goodies.





This one is for the HSS upload day. Celebrating St. Patty's Day with some green beer! how perfect is that felt fusion from Queen & Co.!?




This last one is my final entry for the Gauntlet at Scrapperie. Didn't make it all the way but it was a blast! I always love a good contest! I used my kit from Simply Obsessed that i am, well, obsessed with! LOL!

Well...let's see what is going on these days. Besides the NOT weather {it is way to early in june for this} ... and not being able be outside gives me some time to spend inside scrapping :) though i have been majorily tired lately.

Here is a card I made for the Guest Designer Challenge over at Happy Scrapping Scrapbooking last month.





AND check out what lovelies i got in the mail this week!!!!!! i used it to make a mini album for a contest {can't post yet!} but those papers are sooooo bright and fun! this is the kit that i won from simply obsessed from their crop AND i get two more! {insert happy dance here}
