scrapbooking a few layouts this past week...
this morning i made this one which i'll reveal...

....i guess right now...

i used an old cocoa daisy kit 'urban loft.'
lots of layering of scraps leftover  from another layout and card i did a long time ago.
ya gotta use da scrapz peepz!
glimmer misted silver the chipboard word & tucked behind one of the papers, added a couple of stickers on top & tied a ribbon.
did a 1-2-3 of placing my accents.
can you tell?
also signifies my 3 girls.
get it?

i love photobooth pix.
had to do 1 of the girlz especially  before maiya leaves for WA this saturday.
everytime we do 1 i have to make sure my 2 girls get a copy and of course i get one too.
then i do my traditional scrapping of it with a title "love ##.##.###" with the date it was taken.
i haven't done a page for one in so long.
this one is definitely down as one of my favez.

aaaaahhhhh....

as i type this we are baking chocolate almond cookies.
the girls and the hubz are playing one their tablets or phone.
my 21 month old is creating chaos with all the tupperware.
before that we played a couple of games including words for friends.
it's been fun and so nice to spend time together.
i love them so much.

what are you doing at this very moment?

hope you're having fun.

love XO.XO.XO

part 2 of the ScrapTiffany Weekly Challenge reveal is now up.  this week's challenge was to base a layout, project, or card on a sketch created by one of our very own ScrapTiffany Design Team members, Rebecca.

i finally got to scrapping a couple of photobooth pix my family & i took at the antelope valley mall.  this is one of our family traditions and as soon as we take them, i create a page for it.  this time tho' it took me a little longer to do it since i just couldn't figure out what papers and embellies to use.  then my july kit from AMM came in recently and hit me to use it.

i cut up these photobooth lovelies, just to make it a little different and entitled it with "love 7.10.10."  and here's my take with the deetz:

(supplies:  My Mind's Eye, October Afternoon, Echo Park, Basic Grey, Maya Road, Pretty Little Studio, Jesse James & Co, EK Success, Stickles by Ranger)

so go on over to ScrapTiffany by clicking here:  STDT Weekly Challenge:  Sketch and see what me and the lovely ladiez have done to creatively entertain you...heehee.

9 more dayz til baby boo comes home...and counting.

have a great and crazy friday!

PHOTOBOOTH - LOVE 4.2.10

well i think this will be a new tradition...taking photos in a photobooth, scrap it, entitle it as..."LOVE (followed by the date taken)"....

here's our first ever....i scrapped these 2 different ways.

this one i did as a going away gift for my stepdaughter, ashley, the day before she left home for idaho (sorry the photo is blurred, it was too dark outside to take it, so settled for the inside of the house, the lighting is not all that great for photos):

here's the 2nd lo using the same photo strip, i used mostly Basic Grey papers (love them!).  i also used a sketch from one of the online classes taught by Kelly Purkey, one of my scrappy idols.  here's my take:

love the deetz on this one.

yup, this will be a beautiful tradition.

nitey nite!
