Happy Monday

Some mornings are harder to wake up than others- wonder why?? Maybe its because my BFF is going back to work today and the summer has been so crazy---we didn't get to scrapbook 1 day :(((( But that's the past, its going to be a GREAT day today so hurry up & get yours going, you never know what wonderful things will happen today!!!

WOW-I had an AWESOME time Saturday with my scrapper friends!!!! They were awesome, they were whipping those vacation albums out & getting another to complete at home-what motivation!! Thanks to all of your for participating-i had a BLAST!!!

And Mrs. Myrna, thank you so much for missing me (blog posts), I'll just take you with me on vacation next time :)


SWEET Life created by Noelle Landry

SO, here is your Monday morning inspiration for the week!!! Check out this precious layout created by Noelle. Its a very easy one to scraplift!!!! We hae all of the products pulled at the store in one spot (FREESTYLE ENDCAP) for you to grab & go!! I love how she cut these huge title with cricut & pattern paper-seems we always get stuck in a rut cutting titles with solids-love the change!!!! What a cute title-i know we all have pictures to show our "sweet" life even if it doesn't include ice cream LOL. I've been really digging the layouts recently with a title based on the paper, like (sweet), but the pictures don't really need to be about sweets-just any pictures of a sweet (awesome) life!! I saw one yesterday that said "The ROAD to a great life . . ." and they used paper with travel sign paper but the photos didn't portray any part of travel, etc. Great job Noelle-thanks for motivating us!!!!

I'll be working on Scrapetizers class today, so i REALLY need some inspiration ha ha!!!

BLUE LIGHT SPECIAL-Monday Madness: 25% off grab n Go Organizer today only!!

Don't forget to earn your MM Dollars this week-they can be used as cash on products in September AND then you are entered into a contest for a $100 shopping spree!!!!!!! WHO wouldn't want that??

We have all of these products pulled together for you at MM-thanks to Jody for the mixing & matching!!! I love all of the uses of that ribbon tape-KUDOS!!!!!!! Oh, and the kiddos are adorable too!!!! What a great idea-we don't think to take a group cousins shot often enough!!!!

JUNE Masters Kits are REady

First, THANK YOU SO MUCH to Jody for the awesome video on the blog the last few days!! I can't wait to see everyone scraplifting her awesome ideas!!!

SOOOO, I was able to take a few days off to enjoy some R & R with my BFF's AND the highlight of the weekend was . . .
watching my son write secretly "Will You Marry Me" in the sand in Pensacola!! When his fiance' noticed the writing in the sand, she said "Look how sweet" not knowing it was HER proposal, she turned around to find Dane on one knee with "The Ring"!! He then whirled her around to dance to "their song ", Angel Eyes". I guess I don't mind them stealing "our song" especially if it helps them work towards a 25++ year marriage LOL-I'm happy to share!!!
WOW-some awesome memories & future scrapbook pages.

Let's Scrapbook-Summer Challenge

Well Ladies, today is the day we take our gathered supplies and create a quick and easy layout to kick start your holiday weekend!

1.  Adhere the strip of patterned paper at the top of your page. Add one piece of ribbon to the bottom edge of the patterned paper.
2.  Mount the horizontal photo onto the 4.25 X 7.5 piece of paper with the photo closest to the right side. Adhere both photos leaving enough space for your title.
3.  Adhere your title. If you are an 8.5 X 11 scrapbooker, choose a short title!
4. Adhere 3 X 12 solid strip at the bottom of the page.
5. Create the petal border (see the video for instruction.)
6. Create the three flower embellishments. (Also on the video) Adhere to the page.
7. Journal. It's me ladies. You know I can't finish a page without journaling!
7.  You are done.  Enjoy the weekend!

If you have any questions, feel free to post in the comments section. I had a great time. Thanks for playing :)
