Taylored Expressions Sketch #117

Here's a card using some
of My Minds Eye "So Sophie."
It instantly reminded me of Christmas
& matches Cosmo Cricket's last Christmas line
& some of My Minds Eye Quite Contrary.
So this line is extremely versatile.
I used the current
Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #117

Supplies: My Minds Eye "So Sophie" papers; Cosmo Cricket chipboard

Even though I immediately thought Christmas,
this line can be used for everyday.
Something about these colors makes me happy!!
Here's a few layouts I made for ScrapHappy.

I have a few more projects,
but I'll wait til later this weekend.
Hoping to get more accomplished!!
Enjoy your weekend!!

CPS 170

Can ya tell I'm lovin' summer?
I got these MME papers in a CARDS box.
I really, really like them.
For this card I used the current CPS 170 sketch.

Supplies: My Minds Eye "Breaking Free" papers & die-cuts; Creative Memories trim; Sassafras ice-cream felt; Fiskar border punch

I've been working on design team projects.
I got to work with several lines
of My Minds Eye newer stuff, "So Sophie."
I have to admit,
after all these years,
My Minds Eye continues to be one of my favs.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned.
I know I do!!

Happy Birthday MOM!!

It's my sweet mom's birthday.
She never wants to be bothered
with parties, cake, gifts, dinners, etc.
A card is what she prefers,
but I always put a little giftcard inside.
Always hoping she'll use it
& not give it away:)
For her card, I used the
Sweet Sunday Sketch #72

Supplies: Pink Paislee papers & die-cut tag, Offray ribbon & butterfly; American Crafts letters

So many ideas swimming around in my head
but finding it oh so hard to take
the time to stop & scrap!!
I sure hope you're enjoying your summer.

2S4U - Kazan #54 sketch

Wow am I enjoying my summer.
It's only day 2 of summer break
& I'm already sleeping in, reading books,
swimming w/the girls & just being lazy:)
I'm finding it hard to come into my scrap room,
but I decided to make a card
to get me back into the groove.
For this card I used
2 Sketches 4 U -Kazan's 54 sketch.

Supplies: My Minds Eye Breaking Free papers, die-cuts, rub-ons & acetate frame

So here's hoping I can be more productive
over the next couple of months!!

*whew*

Sooooo glad to be home!!
Our *almost* 2-week vacation
has come to an end
& boy am I glad:)
We first hit Disney World,
being gone a total of 6-days.
Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the 4 of us!!
We usually had an uncooperative 5-year old*stinker*
Came home for 1 1/2 days,
had to wash some clothes,
only to leave again for San Destin.
Picture of the "girl" cousins.
We still don't understand why we left out the 2 nephews?
We returned Thursday afternoon,
only to watch a friend's kids on Friday!!
So, I've been washing laundry, cleaning house
weeding the yard, window shopping carpet & furniture
& browsing everyone's blogs to catch up.
I'm hoping to get into a summer scrappin' groove
& have some fresh things to show this week!!
Thanks for hanging in there with me!!
