Firday and Saturday

What a difference a day makes, the temp on Thursday was 67 degree's, Friday the snow began, by Saturday morning we had 6 inches with temps in the 20's!! So we have been snowed in since Friday night and lovin it!! Bob did venture out this morning to check the main roads, we needed to let the kids know if Sunday dinner was on, so looks like I will be cooking an early dinner so everyone can make it back home before sundown and the roads refreeze.

I used CTMH's new level 1 kit on the first layout "Veranda" Love, love, love this paper, can't wait to use it on more layouts. The second layout is using "perfect day" another one of my very favorites. Will post a bit more later today and one more layout to finish the MONTH of layouts!!

Thursday

The weather was beautiful in NC today, Tyler and I spent most of the day outside so I had to squeeze in a layout during nap time; again I worked with a level 1 kit " Magic Moments", the photo's are of our oldest daughter Heather at 4 years old, Heather will be 33 this year so as you can see I really am digging in my past stash of photo's.
For reasons unknown to me this layout posted in the correct orientation, go figure, I take pictures of the layouts and post them the same each time, blogging for me is a bit of a crap shoot!

Are you ready for more?

Still working on layouts, decided to take a lunch break and up date my blog. I have continued to work with level 1 kits this morning because as I said earlier, they are fast, simple and economical. I used CTMH new Top Stitched level 1 kit for this layout of our youngest daughter and her best friend in high school.

Early Morning Pages

Woke up with a wicked headache this morning took some meds and decided to try and lose myself in the room of sin. Still have the headache but I am distracting myself with scrapbooking!! This layout is done using the new kaboodle level 1 kit.

I have been working with lots of level 1 kits this month for many reasons, they are fast, simple, easy, and affordable!! I imagine many of you are in the same financial boat as I am this time of the year, we somehow survived the holiday season, have a few bill stacked in the desk to finish paying off our Christmas gift giving and are experiencing larger than normal heating bills.

I am attempting to provide you with inspiration to get some scrapbooking done while we are all hunkered down for the winter and affordable ways to accomplish layouts without breaking the bank. You can view CTMH level 1 kits on my website, keep in mind the price for these kits are $9.95, I always end up getting 6 layout from the kits with enough leftover to make a few cards, you can't beat that for value!!

Tuesday with Tyler

My oh my, scrapbooking with a 3 year old is not easy!! Tyler loves to play with me in the scraproom but I have a heck of a time keeping him our of the ink pads, would mind if I didn't have new wall to wall carpet. Only got one layout done today but I am happy I could even get this much done!!!! I used our new Caboodle level 1 kit, you can check it out on my CTMH website.

Mojo Monday

Monday was a day full of dusting, vacuuming, mopping and lots of odds and ends, but I was able to get in the scraproom for a few hours. I am still digging around in my photo albums of our girls, having lots of fun looking back.

One thing I have noticed is how very faded they have all become, I normally match the pictures to the paper but in the case of these pictures they seem to have a yellow/orange tint to them. I could use all my fancy dancy photo editing software and Dr. them up but it is important to me to use the originals no matter what state they are in. With that being said when you see many of these layouts you will notice they don't really coordinate that well due to the condition of the pictures, I am OK with that!

Engagment party

This is the last for this week, total so far in January is 76 layouts done, not bad for the month!! Today is a bit of house cleaning in the studio and organizing for next week as well as lots of journaling so I can get all the layouts in albums
