If must be fall....

One would think I would be out taking pictures...but NO! I have been scrapping! I have been trying to get together with friends and have a weekly scrap fest - sometimes I am creative and other times...not so much - but hey, they are getting done! Check them out!


Kind of hard to see here - but this is 'The Storm' that started off 2007. Crazy winds snowed us ALL in - Bob had to shovel out the door just to get the snowblower so he could clear the driveway so we could actually drive!

supplies: all SU!






More of the storm - the winds were crazy - and Drake was playing outside - the main picture is of Drake being blown by the wind!



supples: all SU!






Drake's 11th Birthday! Check out the 'one one' that was done with the Cricut - yikes - I am hooked!


supplies: KMA printed papers; cardstock is SU!; journaling box is MME





Oops, just noticed I missed a couple layouts between these two - oh well - later...
This is an annual photo I take of the boys - it is great to have cousins this close in age?!?!

supplies: main background pp is BoBunny; smaller pp is Basic Grey; embellishments are Jenni Bowlin Bingo card, BG stamp, clip art ticket (got online years ago) & brads are Kaiser Craft.





There are a few pictures of Drake and Braxton hanging out in the backyard - one thing you will notice missing here is journaling - I will get to it...I promise!



supplies: pp are SU! and Basic Grey; die cut is Autumn Leaves.



These were a couple really fun pages to work on. This was the day I dreaded the most - "Mom, I want it cut - all of it - OFF" We made it fun and he humored me as it was buzzed off. That was about a years worth of growth...


supplies: pp is Kaiser Craft; die cut
letters are Jenni Bowlin; rub on is
BoBunny; stamp is Fancy Pants; Magic Mesh for accents & homemade journaloing card.








Easter at the Law's - missed a year, then back at it!

Basic Grey Mini Book

Hey, what can I say - I am inspired! Created yet another mini book last night/today! Got this idea from Elisha who found it on 2Peas (credit idea to user Magicalmagpie). Thank God Elisha figured out the binding. As usual though, I modified it and love the way it turned out!













supplies: All patterned paper is Basic Grey Urban Couture; Cardstock is Scapbook Sally Kraft; Fibres/Ribbons are Basic Grey, EK Success & SU!; misc punches and hardware are McGill, SU! & EK Success.

12 x 12 Mini Book?


Yep, you read that right! This is a neat new mini book made with three sheets of 12 x 12 paper! Thanks to Doreen for the idea! I whipped this up last night in about two hours start to finish. Then spent about half an hour this morning with the finishing touches. It is more or less done for now (just need to add pictures) - or done as I usually consider things done (get the drift)! Now jsut to clarify, the book itself is made with three sheets of paper/cardstock - I have added more papers and cardstocks for the inside of the pockets and embellishments of paper which of course you all know I LOVE!



and since I am now having nothing but trouble adding more of the photo's - I will end with these ones and if I can ever add more - I will. Until then, I am sure you can get a good idea of what I have created for now!

supplies: cover cardstock - Scrapbook Sally Kraft; cover patterned paper- 7G's; inside patterned papers are Daisy D & Creative Imagainations; paper embellishments are a variety from Jenni Bowlin, various internet sites; other embellishments are again a variety from SU & Prima.
