Turtle Power!

I did this page for one of Jana's amazing sketch challenges at Scrapperie last month, and it just never got posted here. Last year Scott went down to Arizona for the end of the summer without us, and Grandma got him this Ninja Turtles swim set that he still loves and uses. These pictures were perfect for this Cosmo Cricket paper I've been holding onto for a while. Super quick and easy page. Love that! Enjoy!

Turtle Power:

Supplies: Patterned Paper- Cosmo Cricket; Alphas- Basic Grey; Paint- Making Memories; Ink- Colorbox; Twine- Studio Calico.

Creatively Yours #58- Birthday Superstar!

 Wow, I can't believe how busy the beginning of the year gets! Our homeschool school year is in full swing now. We're in our 2nd week already! Lots and lots of prepping that's been taking my time away from scrapping. I think it'll be about middle of next week when we all hit our stride and life gets back to a normal pace. For now, here's a new Creatively Yours layout for you!

We had another one of Noella's fabulous sketches to work on this week and I chose to use these pics of Scott from his birthday this year. He begged me for this Bakugan tin from Target for like 2 months so he was super surprised when he got it! Love the look on his face, and I love that he's old enough to 'get it' and give me the face without me having to explain what the gift is. Sierra had a similar reaction last year to a new pair of black tights (go figure).

Birthday Superstar

Supplies: Cardstock- Bazzill; Patterned Paper- My Mind's Eye; Die Cuts- My Mind's Eye; Alphas- American Crafts; Ric Rac- American Crafts;

Also- I wanna send a shout out to my good friend Kim. It's her birthday today. She makes the most awesome baby slings! I have this one!

There is a challenge going on right now at ScrapRoom to use the oldest kit you have. I found this one from August 07 that I still had every piece of!

Creatively Yours Guest Designer!

I just wanted to stop in quickly and let everyone know we have a fabulous guest designer over at CY this month.This news comes straight off the blog-

"It is with great pleasure that I bring to you the news that ANGIE REDHEAD, editor and creator of Scrapscene, is our fabulous Guest Designer here at CY this month."

YAY! I love ScrapScene! So excited to have her on with us!

Also posted this week was a special assignment tag sketch which we'd love to have you play along with!

I will be back soon with some new layouts. I have a whole stack sitting on my scanner waiting to be scanned. Swim lessons and soccer practices are eating so much of my time right now! So happy that there's not much more of that!
