Me and my s"CRAP"

2011-07-11T12:09:00.002-05:00

I'm just testing to see if I can actually text a blog entry in!! Here's hoping this works!! Fingers crossed.

A Day @ the ZOO!!!

2010-03-18T18:00:00.002-05:00

As I am sure most know, spring break is happening right now for our part of Texas anyway. All my nieces and nephew, (the younger group) were out, and we all went to the zoo! We had a blast. Here is a LO I made just a few minutes ago!! Enjoy!

Safari Page Kit by the Paper Studio

Journal Stamp by Creative Cafe

Well by next month, I will prolly be wishing he didn’t learn to crawl!!!

2010-03-09T16:05:00.001-06:00

So he kinda sorta crawled the other day, and he spends lots of time working at it, so I’m predicting I’ll be chasing him round my house by middle of next month!!

Enjoy!!

Ryan

2010-02-24T19:09:00.000-06:00

Ryan got a toothy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think I am excited, you should see Grace, she has been trying to get that poor boy to grow a tooth for about 5 months now. LMBO But he finally did it. He got his first tooth on my birthday!!

WAY TO GO RYAN!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!!

2010-02-18T18:30:00.001-06:00

Jayci is on her second chicken leg!!!!! Remember this is the girl who only eats junk food!! and she ate the cheese out of like 6 or 8 cheese and cracker thingy’s!! What a PIGGIE!!!

and to top it off she is walking ‘round saying the chicken “It’s the bomb baby!!”

Louisiana!!!!!!!

2010-02-18T17:23:00.001-06:00

Well here we are in Louisiana. We are having a blast! Thought I would shoot some pics to show what we have been doing!!

My Grandson!!

2010-02-12T09:11:00.002-06:00

Ok so y’all have “met” my granddaughter Jayci, well let me introduce you to my grandson Ryan. Poor thing, this is the first page I have scrapped about him, but then again it is the first page I have scrapped since he was born also, at least it was aobut him!! :)

Now it is a real page (not digi) so the pic isn’t great, coz I always hated stitching my 2 scans to get the whole 12x12 page, but I will work on my pic taking skills. :)

I have a longer one I'm gonna upload later, but the kite flying was interupted by the plane flying overhead!! Wait till you see Jayci's reaction! Doe-bull as she would say!! Meaning of course adorable!

Which reminds me, Scott and I got a dog the other day! Her name is Abby, well Grace was having Jayci spell Abby and it went like this: Grace in CAPS Jayci's in small

OK so I wanted to do some pumpkin patch pics, but jayci didn't get to come down for it yet so I am using some punkin'patch pics from last year!! And since they are of my nieces and nephew I decided to use MaryAnne's simple Stacks Templates so that their Parents and Grandparents can have the pages printed as 4x6 at Wal-mart and use in a brag book! They just have to hollar for the finished page, but y'all get the quick page if you want it. All ready for you to pop in a few pics, add a title, date and journalling then cut it in half and you can also print at Wal-mart. Here are my pages:

The template I used is by Maryanne Curth of Curth's Digital Designs

This is the Kit I used by Rachael H @ DigitalArts-Cafe

The freebie link is here, enjoy!!

2008-11-07T11:56:00.003-06:00

OK so I did a photo swap @ DigitalArts-Cafe, and scrapped a LO for Silvia, aka. Phillsboo, of her cat!! I got to use Rachael H's kit Bad Kitty! It was so much fun using that kit, and since I am not a pet person I wouldn't have been able to use it otherwise! So thanks Silvia for use of your kitty cat!! I sooo hope you enjoy your LO!

OK folks so this month, I am busy with a design contest, so the amount of LO's I normally post will prolly go down. I will post some but mostly on weekends.
I entered a contest to become a designer for a store, DigitalArts-Cafe. Most of you that read the credits know that is where I get most of my Kits that I make my Lo's with, so to be able to sell kits there would be tooo totally awesome. So the point to this whole post you ask??? Well that would be for you to join DigitalArts-Cafe forum, and vote!!! For me or whomever's kit you like actually, but hopefully that will by mine.
Now I feel I must warn you, this weeks kit was suposed to be Heritage, which I totally loathe, but at least it is out of the way now. So you will see way better kits from me in the future!! Just don't ever ask me for heritage!!
Now in order to vote you must register here, post at least 5 posts, in order to view, download and vote for the contest, try here to post don't forget 5 posts, then you will see the secret forum where you can see them and vote.
Now while you are there, you can join in the birthday celebrations here and get lots of great stuff and have loads of fun!!!!

Something New!

2008-07-15T19:35:00.008-05:00

OK so I am working on something new. . . What you ask? Well since you asked I will tell you! I found a lady who has these templates, who said I could use them, and I talked to my CT Designer who said I could use her kits, So the ending product for friends will be QP's to make your own 4x6 photos to have printed at where ever you have your pics printed. But for family they will be able to get pics of Jayci printed if they want, or if they send me a few pics of their own I will be able to put those pics in the templates so they can have their pics printed. Clear as mud? ? ?

Well here is the first one, what do ya think?

Now in case you are wondering how this will be pictures printed at your local wally world look at the two pictures below, that is what this one cropped into and I will have printed, each 4 x 6 inches.

Now won't these look cute in those 4 x 6 photo albums that are so inexpensive, and so easy to find . . .

So here is Zachary at the area track meet in Benbolt. Later with one of Grace. Y'all will prolly be seeing these papers lots, I have an overflowing folder of backetball and volleyball pics!!

Well while going thru some old CD's I found some of the pics from the zoo when we all went, I just can't find the one of the lorry attacking Grace yet! But I am still looking, so maybe soon I will find it! but I will need to find background paper pretty bright or pretty dull either way!! LOL Well enjoy this one and I will get more done soon. I need new pics of Jayci, using the same ones over and over is getting boring!!

2008-06-13T00:21:00.006-05:00

Just wanted to get this LO up!!! Grace sent me these pics and I knew I had to scrap them!! But they were way too busy and had too much color in them. So my solution for this was to turn the picture black and white except for Jayci! to keep the focus on her!! It ended up taking me quite a while but the finished project was well worth the effort.

"It's all about love" from DigitalArts-Cafe

2008-06-07T18:13:00.013-05:00

Here is what I have done part of today!! Can you tell I love this kit!! I got it as a freebie at DigitalArts-cafe

Isn't that smile just the most B-U-tiful smile you have even seen. Jayci is such a ham when it comes to taking pictures. She just smiles and poses, and if you don't take the pic quick enuf she runs to you and you don't get the pic!!

Font: Bumblebee BV

I fixed this per Laura's excellent advise! Journaling reads:
There is this man that comes around town selling fruit and vegetables. Well he always stops by here, and I buy from him. He so fell in love with jayci that he gave her that pear. Actually he gave her 5 of them. But she didn't want to hold it, she wanted her pappy to hold it for her and for him to feed her. It was rather comical, you can see her keeping her hands out of the way and reaching to get a bite coz Pappy is not paying attention!!

Well I have been very busy this month!! I have finished 5 of the 6 challenges from DigitalArts-Cafe

I choose this picture of my granddaughter who was staying the week with us at the time. She was always getting into all my shoes and putting them on, and strewing them from one end of the house to the other! Then when you get out the camera and tell her to say cheese she turns to look at you and smiles soooo cute!! Can anyone say proud Yaya, yes I am Yaya not granny or grandma.

This picture is of my wonderful husband baby-sitting our 8 day old granddaughter. do we all see who is awake and who is asleep. So instead of any baby-sitting going on there is pappy-sitting going on. Yes She call him Pappy and me Yaya. Well we always were strange, and this just proves it. The kit I used on this LO was a posting bonus from one of last months challenges!! If y'all haven't checked out DigitalArts-Cafe
you really should!! It is an awesome place to hang!!

Here is the Journaling Challenge LO:

This is Jayci and her great-great-granddad, my granddad! She is 3 months old and he just turned 89 the month before this was taken. He couldn't get over how wonderful she was! He talked to her and played with her, we had a lot of fun. That was also the day that she met her great-great aunts Barbara and Debbie and her mom's cousin Justin, whom she spit up all over, he really didn't want to hold her again after that!! LOL

This LO inspired by Laura Anderson's June Journaling Layout "4 Generations" also @ DigitalArts-Cafe

Here is the Quote Challenge LO:

These pictures ended up being perfect for this challenge. The quotes were about fathers, and I don't have many pictures of my daddy, so I decided to change it up a little bit and use pappy instead. You should see Jayci's face light up when she sees her Pappy. It is almost like night and day difference. And this girl can light up a room trust me.

This is the Color Challenge LO:

Isn't she precious.... kinda like a piranha with all those teeth... The journalling reads something about her sweet smile not fooling anyone because what she was really trying to do is maneuver enough to bite my feet. And I am assuming (yes I know, but look at them) you can see all those teeth. Trust me too, she does know how to use them.

This of course is my beautiful granddaughter Jayci Nichole. She was helping my dear hubby, her "pappy" do the dishes one night while she was staying the week with us. She helped put the dishes in the sink, then proceeded to get the bubbles out and put them on her leg.
She was washing her legs more than she was washing the dishes.
In the end I think she was wetter than anything else in the kitchen.
So if anyone needs help making a mess in the kitchen while pretending to do the dishes Jayci is the person to call!!

A Kit I am working on!!

2008-05-29T13:18:00.003-05:00

Well I am working on a kit to give away hopefully next month!! And that seems to be sneaking up on me quicker than I thought. So I have 2 days till next month, and I haven't finished the kit or signed up for a place to share it!! So I need to get my bum in gear.
Here is a small sample of what I am working on and have actually gotten done so far...
This is the papers so far!! Maybe I can upload part of them for the first week or something like that!! And then do the rest of them and get the elements done and put them in a download for later in the month.

Jayci on Hawk

2008-05-29T11:43:00.006-05:00

This is the main person I scrap about. My granddaughter Jayci. And her mom... lol

This is Jayci and Grace on Hawk the horse. She liked riding him some what, but was fighting allergies at the time so wasn't really into it. this was a Mother's Day/Birthday party for my son Zachary, who turned 21, 3 days prior.
I got this great digi kit @ DigitalArts-Cafe just for signing up! And I made this with it and turned it into a Quick Page and sent it in for a challenge and will be getting in return all of the QuickPages made.... How cool is that. So head on over to DigitalArts-Cafe and join up get your kit and make a quick page!!

This is Dylan and Poppa. My poppa was mowing the yard and Dylan wanted to help.... So off they went. It was way too cute to not take a few pictures.

the background was made in a texture tutorial chat several years ago with Kristie at SBB, using a texture from a now defunk website. The font used is CK Plain Jane. there are really no other elements to speak of, just the texture....
