Layouts From Sunday

These are just a few lo's I did on Sunday. Didn't realize I hadn't started an album for Henry, so I am getting caught up with that. Thanks for scrapping with me Maureen, Hanne and Maggie.

Sharing

I have to share this because I had a lot of fun making this and it was a deal too. I got this little suitcase at BigLots for $4. I bought 3 of them thinking I'll use them for something. Then Gayle at work said they are putting together a travel themed birthday present for another coworker and did I have any ideas. So this was my contribution to the gift. I made a passport too. Now they are going to fill it with gas cards and snacks, a map, sunglasses, gum and any other travel necessity they can think of. Hope she doesn't check out my blog, but I had to share it.

Creative Day

Okay, so today I didn't make any ATC's but I was creative. I went to church this morning and Pastor Tim was really on a roll about inviting those who don't attend so I'll put it out there right now. He says you have to ask 7 times before you will get a yes. So, will you come to church with me? will you come to church with me? will you come to church with me? will you come to church with me? will you come to church with me? will you come to church with me? will you come to church with me? That means you should say yes to the last one. If you are weirded out by church, you have to try mine, cuz it's so different. Here is the link if you are in the O.C. and you need to go to a hip, cool cutting edge church. You can wear your shorts and flip flops and drink your coffee there. Here is the link to the crossing hope you can make it.

Anyways, I went to breakfast with dear Merrilee and then scrapbooked at The Red Bee with Maureen, Hanne, and Maureen's friend {who I am drawing a on her name right now}. We had fun. The design team for the Red Bee was there and I was having scrapenvy because they were making all kinds of cool things for displays in the store. I guess I missed out on that one, but will be keeping my eye out if they have a call out for more designers. Like I need another thing to do. So it was a fun day. I have a few project I need to work on this week and will post them when I get them done, and some lo's I did today for Henry's scrapbook. TFL J

How To's

Here is one more that I like. It's called how to choose fresh cut flowers. I found a {how to} article in Vogue or Bazaar that was on {how to's} and this one I had to laugh at. It said: "How to complain: Always complain in a slow, low voice. If you start in a screech, you will have nothing to crescendo up to." FYI--if you need to know, well there you have it. TFL<>< J

ATC's

OKay---I've now been on an ATC {Artist Trading Card} kick. I found a website that you can trade your cards on. I have gotten in on one trade so I am busy making cards. This is my gallery there if you want to see my cards. This is just one to give you an idea.

Emma's team won their game again today. Go Patriots!

U R Loved

Okay, just had to post one more. I am loving my Photoshop Elements. I went to Two Peas to check out some scrapbooking and got inspired, I had to do a digital layout. Thanks for looking. Happy Friday. What are you doing exciting this weekend?

You 3 and 1 Homer

I scrapjacked another layout. This time by Kell Crowe. I wasn't sure which way to go with this one, so I just went for it. It's fun to get out of the old comfort zone and try something new on.

On the softball front I just have to toot my daughter's horn. She hit a homer last night. We are so proud of her. She is our MVD {Most Valuable Daughter} Nice One Em!
