Football Free Sunday = Scrapbooking

Everyone knows that I am a DIEHARD REDSKINS FAN!!!! 

& since our season ended in the 1st round of the playoffs, I have no need to watch any of the other NFL teams. So today I'm crafting & (praying for RG III's recovery).

So, since I'm getting back into the Design Team submission mode...(I can't show you everything I've created so far today). Here is one featuring pictures I created in a Iphone PicStich App. 

This is a collage of photos when my daughter was 8.

 I decided not to use the pattern paper from the Echo Park For the Record 2. I used the 1st sheet of the package that displays all the papers that are inside the paper package.

Boys Rule....(or so they think)...LOL

Today I came upon a new Scrapbook Blog that is called About a Boy challenge blog. So for those of you who love to scrapbook your fathers, husbands, boyfriends, sons...etc...This the place for you. Right now they are giving away some yummy Blog CANDY!!! I soo hope I you WIN!


Also they have a About a Boy Design Team Call...don't delay....it ends on January 20th.

Happy NEW Year! & a RAK!!!

Whew...now that the Christmas Holiday is over..I can get back to "CREATE -ing" layouts again. The month of December was spent making gifts for teachers/friends & family. Below are few of the gifts I created using just paper from my scrap bin.

Hoping all of you had a wonderful Christmas & are just AS excited as I am for this  NEW year ahead.
Each year I choose a word that I live by throughout the entire year. This year my word is CREATE.

Definition:
-make something: to bring something into existence
-give rise to something: to result in something or make something happen
-produce inventions or art: to use imagination to invent things or produce works of art

So, I'd love to know if you chose a word for the new year...please share by leaving a comment & I'm going to create a "RAK" which will be given to a random blogger.

Leave your comment by 12pm EST Sunday January 6th!

October...Croppin' for a Cure

Hi all...it's me!!

I have been MIA caring for my son during his leg injury that he suffered in July. We are still thankful for all the prayers and kind words from everyone. He is still healing & we are still in recovery mode. I've been trying to scrapbook when I get a moment...but I definitely miss from creating every day...

Thanks to my BFF...I crafted for an entire day!

I was invited recently by Queen Kat  to attend a  "Crop out Cancer" event. For those that know me, I rarely scrapbook away from home & do not like to drive far. But I'm so glad that I went. It was an amazing crop with wonderful door prizes. So, as this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, please do what you can to support this cause...even if it is just to do periodic breast exams & of course wear PINK!

 An amazing door prize that I did not win...but I did win 3 items in the silent auctions :)

Just me & my BFF who said she did not like this picture.

Layout I completed at the crop of my daughter on her 1st day of 3rd grade.

September Blogger Posts

Not sure if any of you are having similar problems...But I scheduled 7 post this month & none of them posted...
