Fabulous Friday!

YIPEE!

We are leaving this weekend for my best friend's house in Philly for the Fourth Annual Rib Off! The contestants are firing up their grills and getting their best recipes ready and I have been working my butt off on the elliptical to indulge all day Saturday! (after a trip to the gym , of course ;) It was a rough week at work for me, had a bit of a breakdown, LOL but sometimes you just need to get it out of your system and that was me. I will be glad for a break.

I got my copies of ST October and wanted to share a layout I had in there, I never shared this one online before. It has one of my FAVE lines ever....Salem from SR :(

I used a Jenna Desai mask from The Lily Pad on the black and white photo.

wow! march already?

I don't know where the time has gone...things have been cRaZy...but i love it when life is like that for me...i just get all jazzed up on the craziness. the stress i don't like so much but you learn to deal with it in a good way. i think a lot of working mom's feel that way too but enjoy what i do and that makes it worth it. i believe in these kids. when we stop believing in them, then we are in trouble, not them.

speaking of kids....who wants to see the cutest 1 year old? well, he was only 2 days old in the first one and 3 mos old in the second... ;)

I love these KPertiet Coded digi stamps. I use them on my photos alllllll the time!

some hidden journaling .... i remember writing this journaling at owen's tball game when the one mom next to me was on her phone yelling at her husband b/c he missed the game. hmmm?

on this one i used fabric and batting. i stuffed the fabric and then stitched the photos on top of the "pillow" ....and sock monkeys...need i say more??????


I also used some glimmer mist on these tickets...

besides the digi stuff, i got these goodies at serendipity scrapbooks and hss.

Another busy weekend with mother's day and i am playing some great stuff from HSS with the core-dinations products! love that stuff!

There is a great contest going on over at Serendipity Scrapbooks that involves Heidi Swapp!

oh and guess what??!?!?!? I participated in the NSD crop over at Simply Obsessed and i won a 3 month SUB! holy crap! how cool is that! so a big thank you to the guys over there!!!!!!!!

And i am participated in the Guantlet over at Scrapperie and it is a lot of fun! So here is my first entry for that! Using lots of Prima Goodies and Scenic Route chipboard people! The second round is this week! Wish me luck! Stop over to the gallery if you get a chance, I just love all the inspiration there.





Oh and here is a layout that I did with the family joking around at Thanksgiving!
