Late to the Party...

But I made it at last. So my first challenge from Heidi. Two pics of the kiddos, Anna Stuffs and one word title. As per usual the scan is horrific, but here's my take.

Ready? OKAY!

Serious JV Cheer flashback with that title but I digress. Here's my page from Deanna's challenge... starring Me and Mister, A paper clip (haphazardly added?) "Our Song" and polka dots. We have so many songs, I just picked one that matched the paper. Does that make any sense? It's a Harry Connick Jr. song from Sleepless in Seattle. I think this needs something though... feels kinda naked. Plus it's going to be my submission for JLMS this month, too. Hmmm..

Okay and I am caught up on the Hills. Here's my take. Hahahaha that LC got all dressed up and Stephen shows up in a hoodie and jeans and says the word PLATONIC. Just like that, platonic, like if he could speak in caps, he would. Plus isn't he kind of dumb as a bag of hammers?

I want Audrina and JustinBobby to stir up trouble and make the whole backyard smell like patchouli and sandalwood and their B.O. and continue to make things awkward because Lo and LC are mean. (and p.s. Lo has totally ruined the show.) I'm with Deebs, bring back Kelly Cutrone. And how funny that you clarified me as "our Heidi" not THAT Heidi. Hahaha.

And now! Amber! You are in the game since you commented... sooo... I say here's your challenge!

A two pic layout of your kiddos
Using some Anna stuffs
and a one word title.

GO!

pardon the interruption.

for this Hills break.
for serious?
this almost makes me throw up in my mouth.
i CAN'T STAND him.

You know we are gonna all run out and get this now.
Or maybe J can pick one up at work and scan in the pages huh?
with the million I sent you, it should cover it right?

Still have yet to watch last nights episode, but I am excited to see me some Stephen!
sad but true.

I've been served

so my attempt to get a challenge done at work failed. I got about halfway through and then work just had to be done. so I finished up this morning and although its not exactly what I imagined, it is what it is.

I used pictures from our time at Disneyland back in November 2007. the kids were asleep at the hotel and the older Ramirez's came back out to play. AstroBlasters was the ride of the night. first we went on as pairs, and then each to our own car. very very fun!

AC: paper and thickers. 2 pictures, yup. non-scrap stuff: Dymo tape. hand journaling, done. I wish the title was a bit lower, but the adhesive had dried up and I had to use tombow. too lazy to remove because then that would require me to get off the sticky residue and restick. and this morning, I'm not quite in the redoing mode.

i wonder what mR is going to do....

Everyone Went To Bed...

That's wha happens when you live in HI :) I took the longest, lol, but had some work things to tend to. Then I had to take a break to watch the Hills. But, I came with this. And I have other plans for that loot I won, so instead, I used those wittle rub on birds. Yay. Oh, and 10 buttons is, I think, the most I've ever had on one layout. A new record!

Oh yeah, and that dark shadow is my hand over the layout, lol. And maybe another day I'll snap a new pic to post, but for now... this'll do...



Gnight Girlahs. Until tomorrow... Payyyyyce.

One Down ...

and how many more to go?
Daaaang.
i'm so inspired right now it's not even funny.
the Girlah's have some serious Spring Scrap Fever!

for the record:
something from my purse - knew that Club Crawl bracelet would come in handy one day!
tape - Heidi Swapp {Saturday}
3 dif pp's - MM, AC, AL
tearing - can ya see it?

whose gonna throw the next one at me?
i'm READY.

can i get a hot damn.

i am babysitting today and so 2 + 2 is 4.
kids sleeping that would be.
and I got this done.
yippee.
and its also an entry for my paper adventure so double hot damn.
this is a blast.
keep em coming.

so....heidi has Deanna.
Did you get rechallenged H?
If not maybe the D-bird can get you back and then you could tag me.
Aradd be sure to check in the original past where I got you.

stick a fork in me...because I'm done!

so here is my response to Heidi's challenge. I had to:
(1) use orange
(2) include something ledger lined or striped
(3) use something from my stash at least 3 months old
(4) use at least one rubon

and I did just that. orange 7gypsies paper, ledger paper from mR, a red Heidi Swapp heart I've had for at least 2 years and not one, but4 different rubons, most of which is at least 3 months old as well.

more of the picture from our shoot with Jamie Waters. until I get the rest of them, I will be using it over and over again.

mR, you're up next. do share when you are ready.

and since it looks as though we are all a go on the ATC swap (except for mG, haven't heard from her yet), I've decided that we should maybe do 2 ATCs instead of just one. the first card will be one of ourselves, sort of like our own baseball cards. so yes, there must be a picture of yourself somewhere on the card. the second one...hmm, how about one wish you would wish for if you were given a wish. does that make sense?? so get a'working on them and send them to me by, let's say the end of May. any questions? let me know!!

**I'm not sure why my picture won't expand when you click on it, but it's posted up on SIS if you wanna see the journaling.**

I'm ready!

Paint? Check. Staples? Check. Colored letter stickers? Check. (Traced with white.) Last item purchased? Check. (That Making Memories gaffer tape.)

I'm ready for my next challenge, y'all.

We left off with Jamie challenging mR.... for the deets, check the comments on the post before this one.

Amber? A-Radd? Deebs? mG? Bring it on!


(Also the ATC swap is officially on. Make 7. Send to Jamie. WOOT. Theme?)

get yourself a scrappin'

Hey girls.
So I was talking with Heidi and a huge light bulb came on as she said "it's like I just need someone to tell me I need you to make 7 ATC's or do this project and that will maybe spark my mojo."

SO what better than a post.
By this I mean pick 3 items for the poster above you to use and they will then create a project out of it and whatever else they choose.
You can pick 5 or whatever you feel like.
No rules just a good kick in the skirt to start using those items that are collecting dust.

I will start and then we can just keep it going in the comments.
DAng, this is gonna be fun.
Happy creating!

So you you Heidi girl....

Introducing...

Anna. Payton actually named the kit. LoL. She picked out a lot of the things in it too. When I asked her what she thought we should name it, she said "Anna". And I thought it fit, so it stuck.

Sorry that it's a month late, but better late than never I guess? :)

Anna includes:

7 sheets of PP (including Jenni Bowlin, sei, Basic Grey and Scenic Route)

2 pages from a vintage children's book

Cardstock alpha stickers (The Paper Studio)

Label stickers (Scenic Route)

2 pieces of fabric

Notecard

1 sheet Stickeroni stickers

Assorted Buttons (big surprise there, huh?)

Mini Coasters (sei)

1 tag from Elle's Studio

Blue Sequin Trim

Green ribbon with white polkadots

Brown PomPom fringe

Anyhoo, hope that you guys like everything! The kits will be going out on Wednesday or Thursday of this week. Can 't wait to see what you all come up with!

P.S. If you haven't checked out the previous post from J, please do!

the little light bulb

...just went off (or on?) in my head. thanks heidi joe for turning it on for me.

you said project and I say....ATC swap.

how does that sound? a girlah ATC swap. they're simple and easy and quick to do. we'd only have to make 7, instead of 15 or 30. and even I can handle that.

not sure what the theme would be. not sure that we'd even need to have one. I say just make 7 of the same card, send them to me, and I'll divide and send them back out. sounds simple enough yes?

so let me know what you all think.

i'm in if you are.

hey ladies!!!

so how it be going?

I be at work, with tired achey legs and a grumbling tummy (due to the fact that I only ate half my lunch), so ready for it to be 9:01pm.

what be your plans for the weekend? or next week? or the rest of the month?

hope all is well...feel a little discombobulated from the rest of you all.

check in soon...

smooches!
