B-day Party!

Last Saturday my family celebrated mine and my daughter Emmalee's birthday. It was a fun afternoon with fun, sun, presents and food! We had a blast!! Below are some pics from the party.

Wonderful Time

I hope that everyone had a great holiday! My family and I had a blast this Fourth of July. We swam for the majority of the day, ate and then went to a local field to watch the fireworks. I just thought I would share some pictures with all of you from the event. TFL!

Happy 4th and some CT Layouts

Hey all and Happy 4th of July!! I have been pretty busy lately working on several projects and sadly my blog has suffered. I am going to try to make it a mission of mine to update at least every other day if not daily. Let's just say it's on my to do list :)

Here are a couple of layouts that I have done for one of my CT, Janosch Designs.

I hope that everyone has a safe and happy holiday and remeber take tons of pictures to share and scrap!

Happy Saturday

My family and I started the day out early. We had my nephews birthday party at 10:30 this morning. It was a blast! We had it at my sisters house. With the pool, and the slide my mom brought, it was a fun filled day. My kids crashed out early tonight...too much fun, and not to mention the sun and the heat. My little nephew was so funny he kept saying Happy all day, because it was his Happy Birthday! I took a ton of pics that I will share below but first an announcement.

New Ct Call & Some Pics

Well things are going great with my niece and nephew. My kids have been a great help with them also. They follow them around everywhere wanting to be read to, or just wanting to play.

My oldest dd Emmalee has swimmers ear. We have been doing a little bit of swimming the past 3 days and she also just came back from Mexico with her Nana and Papa. She has just recently became comfortable with jumping and doing summersaults under the water. I know it contributed to this. It was so painful last night that I had to take her home from my son's baseball game because it brought her to tears. I felt so bad for her because I have a history of ear infections myself. She is doing a bit better but I am afraid we might have to go to the doctor if I can't find a remedy.

Here are a couple of pictures that I have taken of Emmalee. I just can't believe how fast kids grow, lol.

Busy Week & New Layouts

First off, I hope that everyone's week and weekend were great. Mine was a bit busy this week, but nothing I couldn't handle, LOL. I was able to accomplish quite a bit so that is a plus. And I was able to take more pics of my kids at their baseball games.

I am going to be a bit more busy this coming week. I am going to be sitting my twin niece and nephew, and I am so looking forward to it!! It will probably only be 3 days a week for about 3 weeks. They are so cute and sweet. My kids have been driving me crazy wanting to go to their house since I found out. They want to play with their cousins.

Here are some of my layouts that I have been working on .

Summer Skies Kit

Ordinary Hero Kit

Shady Spring Kit

Update, CT Layout & My Very First Freebie!!

Sorry I have been MIA...it has been very busy in my house. Both of my boys have had baseball games and practices, housework, CT duties, and I have been busy making some new freebies.


I finished a CT Layour for Candy Cook with her Cherry Pie Kit. It inspired me to get going on a project from a couple of months ago, which I will explain below.

Here is my layout:

My Gallery at ScrapDigiStyle.com

Ok, so anyway, a while back I purchased this cute little tin that I found in the sewing department of Wal Mart. I purchased it with the intent of using it for a recipe box, that I would decorate and fill full of yummy recipes. Yeah well it has been sitting up on a shelf for a little while, LOL!! I am sure they carry these state wide . Here is what mine looks like:

Well with the tin in mind, I started making some 5 1/2 X 4 1/2 Recipe Cards to fit. It has a recipe card, three tabbed dividers and a label. I decided to offer it as a freebie as long as you guys give me some feedback. Constructive criticism is appreciated also, LOL. But be nice this is my first freebie/design. :)

Download has Expired

All I ask is that you leave me some love!! If you use these in a layout or a project leave me a comment with your gallery link so that I can view it. TFL!!

Hello

I am slowly but surely trying to get into making my own supplies and possibly having some freebies of my own on my blog. I guess I just need to jump in and get my booty going. I have already purchase certain things but for some reason they just sit there, LOL. I guess it would be easier if I had someone to ask questions to if I got stuck. Well if anyone wants to volunteer just let me know...hehe!

Well, my kids have been trying to keep themselves busy this summer. From playing video games, listening to MP3 players, coloring, swimming and playing with friends, they have been pretty occupied. These are just a couple of recent pic of my three youngest. My oldest Dalton has been very busy with his baseball. He has a game tomorrow night and I will be taking my camera. I have taken it before but something always comes up and I never get any shots.

TFL and have a great evening!

Busy Weekend

Well it is officially Sunday and I have been very busy with a new scrap site. Scrap Digi Style had their Grand Opening. They had a huge mega kit that they were giving away. There was 5 different pieces of the kit, and to get each one you had to complete a couple of tasks. It was pretty fun and it gave me a chance to get a little bit of scrapping done. One of the tasks was to create a Card, a 4X6 Brag Book Page and a 12X12 Layout, using the kits you receive from the first two tasks.

Here are mine:

They also have a great challenge forum. You get freebies for completing each challenge. The only key is that you have to purchase and use their stuff. It's not that bad considering you get something free, so check it out you might find something that you like. I participated in the Wow Them With Word Art Challenge.

Here is my layout:

Another great challenge is at Designer Digitals. They have a forum with great word art, and the best part is it is free!! You don't even have to participate in the challenge. I think there is like 3 pages in the archive of nothing but Word Art. I picked some up and I plan on participating in the most recent challenge.

Here is a peek at this weeks word art and the link to participate (in the pic):

Well that is about it for now. I am off to scrap a bit more...husband is playing X-Box 360, LOL. Catch ya tomorrow!

Digi Lift Challenge and A Couple of My Layouts

I hope everyone is having a great Friday!! Just wanted to let everyone know about a challenge at The Digi Shoppe. It is called the Digi Lift Challenge. Mareen (sternrakete) hosts this challenge, and she has chosen Nicky (fulloflife) a very talented lady to lift from. This is a weekly challenge and you don't have to do just one. So come join us and get your scrappin' juices flowing!


Here is her layout that I chose to lift:

Easter Fun

And here is mine:

My husband has been pulling some extra shifts at the prison so I have been getting in a little bit of scrapping while my kids are asleep. I can't sleep when he isn't here so what better way to spend it right?? Here are a few of my latest layouts. TFL!!
