My favorite Guy

Here is a little taste of spring for you ladies up north! I have been taking Tyler's picture each year when our Cherry tree blooms, this year he wanted to climb up in the tree, what the heck, it works for me. He is such a big boy now, only 3 years old but my baby boy is growing up way to fast. When I have him on Tuesday and Thursday I don't get much done around the house and in the scraproom but he fills my heart and soul, Grand babies are the best!!

Get R Done

A little more of my to do pile got cleaned out yesterday, seems to be more projects than I thought waiting around, so I will be hitting it early today. Our yard is taking up so much time and the weekend storms added to the already growing pile of limbs and branches to be cleaned out so I can't stay in my room of sin all day, darn!

I assembled the 2 kits posted yesterday but don't have photo's for the Cricut layout yet, it turned out cute but the colors made my head swim, bright colors do that to me. I used a few photo's of Tyler from this past Christmas on the second layout. I now remember why these were set aside, they are a PAIN to do, so many little pieces and do dad's, not sure now why I even bought them, I am much more of a simple scrapper, not to crazy about such busy layouts, however they are done and will be moved to the scrapbooks soon.

I hope you are feeling motivated to finish your own unfinished projects, this week has been a good experience for me and again I am learning more about my own scrapbooking style. One thing for sure I have learned is just because you see it doesn't mean you need to buy it!!

Unfinished projects Queen is still at it

Finished a few more projects yesterday, sure feels good to work on some of the neglected piles I have been shoving aside. The clock is for a friend. I had in mind to give it to her for Christmas but many of us decided to not exchange gifts last year due to the squeeze on all of our pockets so I put this aside, it is now ready to go for maybe her Birthday this year, it is going to be great in her scraproom.

I also finished up a level 2 kit from Veranda, I LOVE this paper but wasn't sure what photo's I wanted to use so I had put it aside, flipped through my photo albums yesterday and found pictures of our family visiting my Dad at his cabin on the lake16 years ago, so I am counting this as 2 unfinished projects ( one for using the paper pack the second for using oldie's photo's)

And last I finished up this layout of our oldest Daughters first slumber party, photo's are 27 years old (ya another oldie is in the books) I had shoved this aside because I didn't like the paper once I got started. However a layout done is just that, DONE!!

Hope you are getting a handle on a few of your unfinished projects, we need to clean out for the new summer cattie due out in May!!

Unfinished Projects NO MORE!!

Sunday is our family day, the kids come over in the afternoon to hang out and have supper, I don't get much done on Sunday's other than lots of cooking, but this Sunday was rainy, stormy, tornado's, the works so the kids didn't come over until supper time and left early. Had a super easy Sunday dinner that left me time to work on my first unfinished project!!

The Harley Davidson scrap book is done!! All 20 pages finished and tucked in their page protectors ready to deliver to Bob's buddy tonight. Before you think I am some super hero of scrapers to have pulled this off I will give you my super hero's tips;

Used motorcycle themed papers ( no thinking and matching involved)

Very few embellishments, (guys could care less)

Didn't matte every photo, (GASP that's big for me!!)

Scraplifted each layout (Had already done Bobs)

Used the heck out of the Cricut for titles (plain and simple no bells and whistles)

Even got a compliment from my hubby, "WOW he is gonna love this, it is really cool"

So on to more unfinished projects today, maybe I can knock out a few more but I don't think I can find anything that will be as easy as this one has been.

Queen Of Unfinished Projects

Sound like someone you know...... I feel like I get so much done in a day, week, month, year but I too have plenty of unfinished projects to get busy on. So this week is unfinished projects week and I really dread it. I know of a few things I need to knock out but I am so afraid once I start digging I will find more than I bargained for. I know I will find some things that I don't really like anymore or maybe never did so that's why I set it aside but no more excuses, I will get them done!!!!

My first unfinished project is a Harley Davidson scrapbook I started for a friend last fall, He is one of the buddies my Husband went with to Milwaukee, WI 2 years ago for the 105th anniversary of Harley Davidson. It shouldn't be to hard to finish, I have all the photo's printed, most of the supplies on hand, already have the scrapbook purchased, now I need to just glue my rump to the chair and get busy!!!! But what I really want to do is scrapbook Bob's Daytona bike week trip and update his album before the summer of riding starts. Enough rambling, that's it, gonna make it happen right now, no more stalling, no more excuses, wish me luck!!! Find one of your own unfinished projects and lets get busy together, misery loves company! Ha

Feel like I should post a picture of some sort so today's photo's are of our youngest Daughter Kelli and her Husband Nathan with our future Granddaughter at 5 month's pregnant and a little sneak peek at the babies nursery, it is such a sweet and peaceful room, can't wait to meet baby girl Hines.

Ella's Scrapbook is DONE

I have had so much fun working on Ella's scrapbook but it is time to move on!! Can't wait to give this to her Mommy and Daddy, hope to see them in the next week or so. I finished off the last page of the scrapbook with the "Love Birds" Stamp set. Sorta got carried away embellishing this page but what the heck it is the last page it needed to be a little something special.

We are off bight and early this morning for Tyler's soccer game, should be fun watching a bunch of 3 year olds playing. Then home again to do more yard work, I love having a big yard until it comes to cleaning it up in the spring, we had so much snow this year we have branches down all over the place and to top that off we are having to replace a large section of fencing, UGH, lots of work and money.

Hope you can find the time today to get a little ScrapStampin done, now that Ella's book is finished I am gonna have to dig around and decide what's next, I hope to stick with more of my oldies but goodies and complete more pages for our girls but frankly I am a little over the whole girlie thing. Scrap On!!

ScrapStampin

Ella's scrapbook is almost finished, YAAAA. I used my new stamp set "Love Birds" on the first layout, I plan to do her last page with the same stamp, just haven't decided what I want to finish the book with yet. Here is an additional page that will be in her book, no stamping on this page but it turned out cute, the expecting mommy is from the cricut "New Arrival" cartridge.

I am using my leftovers from other WOTG kit's as much as I can, I need to keep cleaning out!! That's where the metal tags at the bottom of the right page came from. I stamped Ella's name on each of the metal tags in black staz-on ink had to stamp each letter twice for it to show up, that's not something you can do with wood stamps, love acrylic!!

Also did a little cleaning out yesterday, packed up all my old buttons and switched over to CTMH buttons exclusively, after doing a week of button challenges I realized I had only used CTMH's, they coordinate with so much more than the odds and ends I already had. Tyler's pre school teachers will have a blast working with the kids using up my old buttons, can't wait to hang his masterpiece on the fridge.

Only 2 more day's of ScrapStampin to go, I hope you are being inspired to use your stamps on layouts, you bought them now use them!!!
