Some more scrappy shares

I am a little behind only because it was Easter weekend and I had a houseful of family, and not because I have already given up on the blog thing. :) I am really making an effort this time!! I want to get out there and enjoy this fun hobby.

Here are a few more scrapbook pages I have gotten photographed. Thanks for looking!!This was the August My Scrapbook Nook Kit. LOVED this kit it was really fun. Packed full of My Minds Eye goodies.
Also August Kit from My Scrapbook Nook.
This was a July kit from Little Red Scrapbook I think. I really need to write them down if I am going to be blogging them hu?!!?
This was a Noel Mignon kit I believe. I love her kits they are OVERFLOWING with great product and she has such a great eye for coordinating different manufactures.
Just a page with fun stuff from my stash. Trying to use up the beautiful embellishments I have been hoarding for years. Like these darling quilled giraffes from Jolies boutique.

So its now or never . . .

I really really love to scrapbook!! I have enjoyed more and more time in my little creative space now that the kids are able to entertain themselves and while they are at school. So I figure its now or never to make it more of a priority. SO that said I am wanting to try out for a few Design Teams. I am going to start blogging on a regular basis and start joining more scrapbook online networks and participate in more challenges and such. So here are a few of my recent works. I am really making an effort to use up some old product and enjoy my stockpile!! So here are a few layouts and I will post a few more next week too. Thanks for looking :)

This is a August 2011 My Scrapbook Nook kit I think

This is a December My Scrapbook Nook kit. The plastic clear snowflakes are from the dollar tree store christmas ornaments.

These last two layouts are just using up some old product and enjoying some old photos getting them into a album.

A little Mini

I am really trying to keep up with the blog thing this year!! It might be every week or two but Im going to give it a go :)

So this is a little mini I made with a Noel Mignon kit. It was a limited edition kit ("Good Day" I think??) Loved the idea of a proof of life book so I made one with lots of bright and loud papers and embelies. Just like me

last few picts of the mini

Noel Mignon Challenge

Ok . . . so I am trying to keep up on some scrappy stuff here and maybe make this a new years resolution to blog!!

My FAVORITE scrapbook kit is always the Noel Mignon kits!! I try to budget a little because they are a little pricy, but so worth it!!!! They do some fun stuff on the message board on the website and I am trying to get more involved.

The current challenge ends today!! Its to scrapbook a gift. While mine is a little more of a metiphoric gift than an actuall gift. I still need to add the journaling to mine. I think I am going to type it on vellum and add it to the left next to the little epoxy houses. I tried to hand write it and didnt like how it looked and there wasnt quite enough room. I used one of Noel Mignon's previous kits to make most of this page. It was the Dear Diary kit!!

The story is: I really loved my life. I had a great childhood. We moved a lot. A LOT!! While I wouldnt change my upbringing, it did make me want something diffrent for my own kids. When I met my husband, I loved the way he grew up. On a farm in the same house his entire life. He went to a very small school with a class of about 20. I realized that this would be a great way to raise my kids. While it didnt seem like it was going to happen when we first got married and started a family. I met BJ while he was in the Air Force. He was military for 8 years. So when we moved to his home state of Nebraska and found our dream home it was unbelievable. The gift is that my husband has provided a gift of life for our kids. A life that is constant and familiar.

I really would love to win this challenge!!! The winner gets TWO of the amazing Noel Mignon kits!!! For more info go here: http://noelmignonchallenge.blogspot.com/2010/12/gift-challenge.html

December Daily

OK so its been over a year since I have used this blog . . . no worries I only had one follower anyway :) And I think it was my crafty friend Karla!! So she will be happy to see this post I think. I REALLY REALLY wanted to do Ali's December Daily challenge when I stumbled upon it a few weeks ago. Ive been sitting here at this very spot going over the list of blogs linked to the challenge and got so inspired. Im ready to post my picts to mine and needed a blog to do it. SO here we are. Photos are bad . . . not even croped or fixed in photoshop so you will just have to deal with them raw.

I got HUNDREDS of BINGO cards at a junk jaunt a while back and decided these would make a great base to my book. Seems like lots of BINGO in the picts but I think most will be covered when I add all the picts and journaling and just the little bit left will be toned down and charming. The book is pretty bulky . . . stupid modgepodge (whatever its called) has warped the pages a bit. OH WELL its still kinda on the small side and its a little more fun and interactive with all the junk in there. Got 21 days done and I guess I will finish the rest sometime this month!! I am determined to finish this.

Thanks for looking!!
