New Punches

I like the checker board punch - Martha Stewart. I had NO idea until now that Martha's punches are made by EK Success!! The other punch is EK Success. The picture shows a small cut out or embossed cirlce that follows the zig zag. I was hoping for PUNCH OUT, but it's embossed and BARELY comes out!! I might return this one....???

New Lattice Punch - Martha Stewart

LOVE IT!!!!! Check it out. EK Success (Michael's) had some cool punches too, a few of them were miniture sizes....I'm addicted!!

Challenge 7

I am a little behind, but doing the challenges as I can. I just noticed that I made a few spelling mistakes. My handwriting is not very good either. I will go back and REDO the journaling circles in a few days. I added some popsicle facts to the page. I'm also going to try to draw/cut out some popsicles for the 2nd page. Again, I am a two page layout girl!! I have a 3rd set of pictures where Sam is enjoying cheese puffs. I'll probably do that page too!!

I bought FUN FLOCK from LLL yesterday. It is a fiberous material that gives a 3D look. Kind of like puffy paint???!!! I'm going to practice using it too. The owner of LLL said it's LOTS of fun.

I have decided to just post my layout with the mistakes and omitted embellishments, incase it takes a few more weeks to complete!!

BLOG PICTURE

How do I enlarge my profile picture? How do I make the page fancier?? It's so boring!

Sam Summer of 2008

I like doing POOL layouts for the kids. We spend about 85% of our waking hours at my parent's house, in the POOL!! Sam is a total water rat, as my dad would say. He is the LAST one out!! I finally finished this today. It's not part of the SCRAPSISTAS challenge, it's part of MY challenge to be CAUGHT up. I am about 6-9 months behind for 2008. Otherwise, I'm good to go!!

Challenge 5

Boy, I am behind!! HOWEVER, I did a much better job at duplicating the Challenge. Heather was nice enough to tell me how to print my pictures in order to do the 12 or 6 per page. Never thought to print them wallet size!! AND, I figured out how to do that today!! Better yet, Aaron surprised me by restoring 7 years worth of pictures from the DELL PC. I haven't checked the external hard drive yet, BUT I am confident it worked this time. I'll get 6,7,8 done soon enough!

I am still a double layout girl, so the 2nd page follows my typical GET IT DONE QUICKLY motto!
