Silly Boy

Normally Leo loves to have his picture taken. The other day Aaron was drinking out of a big boy cup (layout coming soon) so I was taking pictures. Leo was sitting at the table next to me and when I went to take his picture, he hid behind his Diego cup. This is a Got Sketch? sketch.

Supplies Used: CTMH Stardust, Die cut stars, sassy strands. Scenic Route Alpha stickers, SU tag punch

Dancin King

Here's another Inspired Blueprint sketch, #8. Aaron likes to "dance." It's pretty funny, he dances by spinning in circles and stomping his feet (a la Flashdance) and screams.

Supplies Used: CTMH Stardust, Giggle Alpha Stamp, Rust Pickle Chipboard Stars, Tag punch: SU.

I {heart} This Face

I actually squeeked out some time for myself today to scrapbook. Brandi has a Simple Sunday challenge, basically to realize that you don't have to spend hours upon hours on a single layout. So with that philosophy in mind, and the help of some sketch blogs, I cranked out 4 pages in about 2 hours. I'll be posting one a day for the next few days. That way, I'll have some time to get more stuff done. I hope.

This is an Inspired Blueprints sketch, the first one actually. I never got around to doing it, but gave it a shot with this picture of Aaron. Rarely does he "smile" for the camera. He normally does this funky eye squint thing that he thinks is cute. (That page will be coming soon) I hope you enjoy these simple layouts.

Supplies used: Bazzil Bling Cardstock (some color brown), Bazzil curvy edged textured cardstock, CTMH Cocoa Cafe Papers, Giggle Alpha, and a misc chipboard heart.

Baby Shower invites - Stardust

I spent the last few days making Baby Shower invites for a friend. I know these don't look to "baby-ish" AND she doesn't know what she's having. But since I only have boys, (and I had very short notice as the shower in in 2.5 weeks) I had to go with what I had on hand. After I cut out 35 Moonstruck (the dark blue) inserts, I thought that I should have done pink. That way it looked "boyish" on the outside and "girlish" on the inside. I had to settle for some pink and blue footprints instead. The really bad thing is that I don't have a single baby stamp set.

Note: She loved them!

Tehachapi Club Card - Unforgettable

Here is the card for the Tehachapi Club. It's pretty much cased from Heather Gerard and uses the Unforgettable paper pack, Aspirations and Intrinsic Background stamp sets. There's really not much else to say about this card. But I've got 2 posts in a row now. LOL! Stay tuned tomorrow for the layout.

Tehachapi Club Layout - Unforgettable

Here is the layout for the Tehachapi Club. The ever lovely Yvonne went to the CTMH album retreat and this was one of the layouts they did there. It's Imagine Follow the Lead, page 71. The photo suggestions are four 4x4 and one 8x10. My "big" picture is an 8x10 that I trimmed to fit in the 7.5 x 7.5 frame.

Whoops, this one wasn't supposed to post until Thurs, but you get it early.

Project 365 week 5

Well, remember how I said I was going to try and post every day? That sure didn't last long now did it? BUT, I am still going strong on Project 365. Yay!!!!! Here are my pages for last week.

Here's what the journaling says:

1. Martel washed his “new” car today, in the rain. Not too sure why, but he insisted that the rain “helps.” Oh, and it’s supposed to snow tonight. (Note, it sure did snow last night, about 3 inches). 1/25/09) Oh, and today is my dad’s birthday. I’m a looser kid and didn’t even send him a card.)

2. It snowed last night, the first snow of 2009. It sure looks pretty until the kids and dogs get out there! Lucky for Leo (and me) there was no school today. He told me last night that he didn’t want to go. 1/26/09

3. Martel took part in Project 365 this morning. I actually slept in this morning and when he came out into the Living Room, what did he find??? A quite comfy, snoozing Bailey. She knows better than to be on the couch but just doesn’t care. Funny thing is that her dog bed is right next to the couch. (Notice the pile of laundry waiting to be folded?) 1/27/09

4. I was so tired today. Aaron was asleep so I thought that Leo and I could go lay down on my bed and take a little nap. I turned on Season 1 of Bones and watched 2 episodes. I didn’t sleep, but Leo did. 1/28/09

5. Today Aaron took a drink from a big boy cup. I don’t know which of the three of us, me, Leo, or Aaron were the most excited. I actually think it might have been Leo. He kept yelling that “baby Aaron’s drinking!!!!” Aaron was pretty proud of himself. Where’s my baby???? 1/29/09

6. Martel got me a Bissel Flip It Hard Floor Cleaner a few years ago. I really wanted it and after we brought it home he told me that I couldn’t use it on our floor. WHAT???? I tried it just the “dry” side and Orien’s hair clogged it in about 2.3 seconds, so into the closet it went. Yesterday I fished it out and said, “the heck with it” I’m using it to mop. Man, it worked great! My floors are going to look great from now on! 1/30/09

7. I bought a CD today, David Cook’s debut album. I haven’t bought a CD in years. I seriously think the last one I actually bought myself was the Rollins Band, Nice (circa 2001). I really don’t know what it is about this kid, David Cook, but I just love him. I got home, got the CD going and listened nonstop for 5 hours (the whole thing 5 times). 1/31/09
