Round Robin and SIS

Have you heard of Scrap and Stamp Saturday. Its a really cool challenge blog that as you guess forces you to use your stamps. I love to buy and collect stamps but I rarely use them. I cant get the bold, bright results that everyone else does. I dont get it. Ahh! So I've been playing along with them with the hopes of learning to actually use some of them. This week the challenge was to use this sketch, design by Pamela Young and of course, at least one stamp.







Over at scrapbook challenges we played a game of Round Robin. The original layout was by the fabulous Jill Deiling, you can see it here. Here is my take and the winning team's layouts.










I think we are going to go with the little Devil costume after all for Blake. Thanks for every ones input. I'm off to catch up on some Blogs and galleries. Nite Nite.

Help me pick

So I thought I had Blake's Halloween costume figured out, but I'm not so sure. They are so many really cute ones these year for his age. Next year he will be able to choose for himself, so I want to make sure he looks really cute this year. What do you think?

Happy Labor Day

I hope everyone was able to squeeze in a little bit of scrapping time. Today was a good day. I had the option to work today or not, and you have to love that. I decided to work for the hours as we have goals and determined to get there. Work was awesome, I finished everything I would normally do and still left a little early. yay.

Sketch Monday, is here over at Scrapbook Challenges. I really loved this week's sketch. Here it is and my layout. I ended up changes the layout a little mainly bc I didnt have 3 photos. I love love love this page and I plan to use it again for another layout too. yay.

Costumes and wigs

I think I have our Halloween costume's picked out for this year. I want Blake and I to match so I'm thinking devils. How cute is this one for Blake. Last year he wasn't to thrilled with the head gear, so I thought this was a good choice. Plus its attached so he can remove it when he likes.


I'm going to be this devil. Josh likes it, and I like it because its not one of those super sexy itty bitty super tiny ones. I need to wear this all day and be able to go trick or treating with Blake and probably carry him some too.



Ok so which of these wigs do you think would look best with this one?









I'm trying to talk Josh into being Hellivs. lol We'll see.

Driving Mr. Blake

Hello! How is everyone. I know I haven't updated in over a week, sorry for that, but nothing has really happened except the boring work, home, sleep, start over the next day kind of life.
So on to the Scrappy. I have really been using the early bird collection from Cosmo. This line is fantastic and it can be used for some many subjects.






This page is a scraplift of my scrappy faves Jillian. She is so inspiring and darn right brilliant. I love her style and her keen eye to combine color and patterns and it work perfectly. You can find Jills page here.




Halloween is coming up soon, and I can't deciede what line I want to get this year. I love Basic Grey Eerie and Spook Alley from Making Memories. BG has the traditional orange, purple, black paired with sky powder blue which looks fabulous. Making memories again keep the black and orange but replaced the pruple with a dark pink. Beautiful. I think I will try to take B costume shopping before I buy. I hope to let him chose his own costume this year. So much fun!


Well I'm off to watch some TV, and maybe do a little more scrapping tonight.
