There is the September Memory Works kit. I love their kits. They really have a great variety of products that are all color coordinated.

On another note, I have been so busy. It seems that everything happens at once. I'll try to post more often, once things slow down. This is just a quick post...we got back from camping so I am exhausted. The kids need to be bathed and put in bed. I may be hosting a crop at my house in the very near future...so stay posted. I need to get some layouts done. There are tons of new products on my website. The new Fall/Winter stuff is arriving. There is a lot of cute Halloween and Christmas stuff. Well I hope all is well with you. Good Night!

A little under the weather

So, I hope you all have been well. Here is a layout I did last week. I thought I would share it since I haven't done much lately. Like I said last week, I am so unmotivated. This weekend, I guess I had an excuse. I didn't feel very well. I'm feeling a little better today so we'll see.I have been so busy with soccer practice, church meetings, school events, and everything else. I haven't had a chance to slow down and catch my breath. Hopefully now that school is underway things will slow down. Erik is going to coach Wolfie's soccer team. He's getting excited for it. Is it bad if you go to soccer practice to watch the coach? Sorry, but my hubby looks so cute. Well, sorry I haven't been very useful lately. I thought I would share a few links you can go to and check them out. The first is PageMaps. They have tons of cool sketches. They come out monthly and you can download and save them on your computer. The second is Pencil Line Sketches. The link is here.Pencil Lines has tons of cool sketches as well. Just incase you all needed a little inspiration. Enjoy your week and if I have time I'll try to post.

A Sneak Peak and the winner is...

That is a sneak peak of the September Memory Works Express monthly kit. I can't say enough about the kits.

Another announcement: The winner of the Basic Grey Rub-ons is Cammy. I will get those to you as soon as possible.

On other notes. I wanted to announce that I also won a contest with one of my layouts. I am excited about that.

My boys are sick. Maddox was sick Saturday and Sunday. This afternoon we got home and JoJo has a fever too. It's looking like I'll have to stay home tomorrow. I really hate missing work. I hate going back and trying to figure out what the sub did or didn't do.

I'm really having a hard time getting motivated to do layouts. I'm having a block. I'm only six months behind and if I don't get going, it'll get worse. Once school settles down and into a rhythm, I'll post a layout contest. I'll also start holding after school crops. Let me know if there is anything you want to see. Good night.

Saturday!

Well, I hope you all are enjoying your Saturday. I am. I thought I would get all of my layouts done today. Alas, naptime is too short, and I spent most of it learning how to add text and texture to photos in Photoshop Elements with Jessica Sprague. That program is complicated, but worth getting to know. So, above, you will find the one picture I got done today. The picture was taken this summer in the backyard. I think it looks very cool.

Anywho...I was thinking about you all. What do you want to know? What techniques are you interested in? What questions do you have? Stamping, mini-albums, chipboard, etc. Leave a comment below and I am happy to help. If you leave a comment you will be entered to win some rubons from Basic Grey. If you don't live in the area, I will gladly mail them to you. You have until Saturday, August 15 at 11:59 p.m. I will announce the winner on Monday and get your prize to you.

See you next time...enjoy your weekend.

Happy August

Well on another note. I have been so busy with school. We got started on Monday. I was completely unprepared, since I had been out of town for 5 days. I am exhausted beyond belief. While I was gone, Erik found some little wild bunnies that were abandoned. So he took them in. The kids had a lot of fun with them. It is something they will remember. I took pictures so eventually one day it will end up in a layout. This morning one of the bunnies was dead and when Erik got to work to let them go, another one had died. It was sad. We didn't tell the kids about the second bunny. (There were 3 in all). He built the third one a little nest and let it go. He said it stayed inside the hole for about 5 minutes and then hopped away. My dad is going to feed it so hopefully it will survive. When we see rabbits at my dad's house we'll just tell the kids that it's their bunnies (2). They only know the first one died.

Well, I'd love to stay and chat, but I have to get some work done. I really hope I can get some scrapbooking done this weekend. I think I'm having withdrawals. Have a good evening.
