recouping

We're back from our Tennessee trip.
What a blast!!!
The girls got to experience the thrill of snow.
Everything, except it falling from the sky.
These photos were taken as soon
as we pulled up to the cabin.
They both scrambled out,
& immediately started throwing
snowballs at each other!!
Notice, us Floridians are too cool to wear snow gear:)
That didn't last long..........
believe me!!



I started this layout before I left
& finished it this morning.
Though the sun is out
& I tried to use sunlight from the window,
my flash kept going off.
So the picture isn't that great.
Just using some Pink Paislee Cupid
for my lsss, Scrap Happy.



Ashlyn has some friends over today
and they're playing Band Hero.
I'm gonna try to scrap some "snow" pictures.
Scrapping snow layouts is something
I've not had the pleasure of doing yet!!

Pigeon Forge................

here we come!!
I am sooooooooooo excited.
My in-laws are headed
to Pigeon Forge this weekend.
Last night, they invited us!!
The girls are so excited,
as it's supposed to snow
& they've never seen or been in snow.
We live in FLORIDA,
I think the last time it snowed
here was sometime in the 90's?
Anyway, I picked up a few
pieces of the Pink Paislee Cupid line.
Just a quick card & layout
before I go downstairs to pack.
I actually added a little mist
to the outer edge of this paper.
I don't really like how it warps
the paper though:(
So, I'm off to pack.
I've got a few other projects
in the works,
but they won't be touched
until mid-week?
We'll be returning Wednesday.
Have a blessed weekend!

2S4Y - Laura's #44 sketch

I can't believe how much time
I've had to scrap lately.
Not only have I been scrapping,
but I'm back on track
with my weekly exercise.
What a great feeling:)
So today I took the current
2 Sketches 4 U - Laura's #44 sketch
Super simple card,
but I like the end result.
The butterfly & sentiment
are more of the MME Break Free line.


The next is a super simple layout
using some of the Basic Grey Origins.
Though it doesn't "showcase" the papers well,
it's the black grid paper
& the strip going across
the bottom of the picture.


I do believe I'm gonna try to scrap some more.
I already know I'm getting scrappy time on Friday!!
Pretty excited about that!!
Me & hubby are also trying to decide
if we want to take on
"Shaun Ts 60-Day Insanity Challenge?"
If anyone has tried this,
I'd love some feedback!!

CPS 151 *part 2*

WOW!!
I must really love the CPS 151 sketch.
As I was putting these MM rub-ons away,
I saw the hearts at the bottom
& whipped up another card.

Okay, now I'll tuck them away
& get back to work on my Basic Grey Origins!!

CPS 151

It's been awhile since I've
been able to work off a current sketch.
But tonight the CPS 151 sketch called me.
I used the Basic Grey packaging
for my squares across the front.
Definitely a 5-min card!!



I also managed to do
a couple of layouts,
but won't be uploading them now.
Hope your weekend was productive & fun?
I know mine was!!
