this lil girl

the ScrapTiffany challenge is now up....
this time the challenge was to do a layout using our fave manufacturer.
my all time favez are Sassafras & Hambly.
on this LO i used all out Hambly.
used a couple of photos of our lil girlie girl.
the transparencies, rub-ons, and patterned papers were perfect for them.
she was only a few minutes old in the 1st one and 6 dayz old in the 2nd.
isn't she a cutie???

i also used some punches, paint, glitter, and a daisyd rub-on w/c i found in my stash.
anchored the hearts with some foam adhesive.
i love hambly.
just wished amm kit club would put more of it in their kits and even more sassfras.
hmmm...i just gotta do an LO with all Sass in it.
someday.

oopsies....almost forgot to share some detailz lovez:

materials:  Hambly, Ranger, Craftsmart, Marvy Uchida, Fiskars, Ek Success, Aleene's, daisyd

anyway, go on over to the ScrapTiffany blog for our other DT members fave manu'z.

hello summer and some last minute thangz

weeeeeehhhh it's the 1st day of summer!  yey-yah!  and it's almost time to go on our road trip.  i am not sure but this may be my last post for awhile...well maybe...maybe without photos.  we'll see how things go this week.

gonna try to make this post quick and dirty (well not really).  heehee...

first off, my reveal and take on the Inspired Blueprints sketch #50:

and for lucky luckiez:

(supplies:  American Crafts, Hambly, Webster's, Fiskars, EK Success, Martha Stewart, A Million Memories kit)

i have already done my 1st reveal for Scrap Tiffany which will be out on July 5th.  i'll give you a sneaky peeky at a later date.  i'm trying to get ahead of the game since we are gonna be on the move the next 2 1/2 weeks or less.

here's the full reveal for my hub'z father's day card i made for him:

and the rest of the deetz:

you can find a couple of more the little details by clicking here.  i just love Pink Paislee pp's!

we celebrated father's day a day early at Red Robin:

yes...i know i'm crazy...lol!

here are a few thangz we did this past weekend...some of which we will do again in the future, i.e., when we return back someday...

...a going away party getaway for my hubz (thrown by his now former colleagues):

unfortunately, i don't have any photos from the party.  i had to take off for a bit to drop off maiya with her dad for the weekend.  but i did return to the party about 30 minutes laters.  darn!

...our last lunch stop at one of our fave places to eat, New Sushi Teriyaki, get a load of my fam (w/o maiya since she was with her dad):

 ...our last sibling brunch for awhile...at Shari's...

 

i'm gonna miss these thangz and timez. (most of all i'm gonna miss my family and friends!) i'll just make sure when we do come visit, we do these for sure.

hmmm, i'm not very good at quick posts, am i?!?!?  aaaaaah well!!!

we'll be on our road trip this coming saturday.  the movers are coming today hopefully to start packing our stuff, then hotel it, then we have to take care of a few things before saturday.  i'm taking some scrappiness with me too! i'm gonna try to get some kind of scrappy arts in while staying at the hotels.  hmmm?  we'll see.

well gonna end this post now...hopefully i'll be able to blog a bit the next couple of weeks even if it's short and w/o photos.  until then...happy times!

going back to da old skewl....

hmmmm... when i went thru my LO's organizing them... found a few that i never ever posted...did these last year...

"HOPE" for my bro...the journaling notes "Air Force" but he ended up joining the Nat'l Guard Army (you sucka!)....

"All for Love"...made this while my hubz was deployed last year...

"dear jo," a tribute to my bestest friend, my sis...

and now for some old skewl photos...guess who these are if you dare...

can you find me?  you may be in there somewhere too?

gotta scrap these someday... 

MY LITTLE STAR

wow this weekend is almost ending.  we went to southcenter mall in tukwila yesterday and i finally got some clothes!  i haven't shopped like that for myself in soooo long!  my hubz and daughter picked out a few outfits and i ended up buying them.  they've got such great sense of style, ya know!

i was hoping to hear who made the Inspired Blueprints Design Team...but they have not yet made an announcement...so anxious....  well i did promise i would post the LO i submitted for the DT...here's my take on their sketch challenge:

journaling is from a Madonna song, Little Star:  Never forget who you are, Little Star....Never forget how to dream, Butterfly...Never forget where you come from...from LOVE.

i had posted the deetz on an earlier post, but here it is again:

this LO will be on my fave list.  

it would be so great to make the DT. but if not, i'll try next time.  but oooohhh sooooo hope so.

i've got quite a few other LO's to post...but i may post them later on today or sometime this week.  i had used a bunch of sketches created by the reknowned Kelly Purkey.  i took 2 online classes she was teaching and they were both great. 

did another LO earlier this a.m.  my hubby especially loved it b/c it was about one of his toys.  that'll get posted laterz as well.  

for now my Little Star will do.

have a great sunday and i'm off to do laundry and clean house.  so grateful to be a home girl today. for real.
