World Wide Giveaway at Crave

Just wanted to let the few people who read my blog know that Crave Photography is giving away an AWESOME prize over on their blog. Go and check it out. ASAP

Lately

Just a few things from me. Sometimes I totally forget that I even have a blog, hence the lack of any blog posts. I will try harder to post some new things especially since I have an awesome new camera and I have been pretty crafty lately. This is a recent picture of my two favorite twins who will be coming over to my house for a slumber party this Sunday. We are going to go out to a park and maybe do a little photoshoot and make some crafts. I'm looking forward to seeing my little nieces, it's been a while.

I have been doing a lot of sewing lately. My mom and my aunt spent last weekend at my house and we did a bunch of sewing. I have a top for a new quilt all done, I need to get a picture of it because I really like it. I want to make this bag next, I'm just trying to figure out what kind of material I want to use......
My aunt, mom and I all got a jump start on our Christmas crafts for the holiday bazaars that we do in November. I make a few snowman pillows. I had a really nice time sewing with them over the weekend. Our friend Deena stopped by too and it was nice to see her.

I will try and post on a more regular basis but I make no promises, LOL. So long for now.

Hello World

I bet if they gave an award out for the laziest bloggers I would be in the top 10. Happy March 19th to everyone. I have been busy sewing lately. I have made these camera cases a couple of tank tops, I have been working on my Christmas crafts. My mom and my aunt Terri have been helping me a great deal with the sewing, especially the tank tops. The are just about done. I made them for my upcoming travels over the summer.

My little kitty Blanco is now pretty much a cat. He's pretty big and very spoiled, hates to cuddle unless its between the hours of 5-6:00 a.m. He hasn't been able to go outside very often because the last 3 times we have let him outside he goes running up to the top of the cedar trees in the yard and gets stuck. So I have bought a cat leash to try that out he hates wearing it.
I got myself a DSLR camera and Photoshop Elements for Christmas, so I have been busy play with those and figuring them out, the camera has been easier than the Photoshop.
Spring is right around the corner and it's time to start putting in some serious hours in the garden. And time to start training for Chelanman, a triathlon I'm going to do in July, so I will be busy swimming and biking and running.
Vacations are just around the corner also. I'm taking my little brother to San Francisco at the end of April for his birthday. I'm really looking forward to going back there. My best friends and I are going to viva Las Vegas for our 30th birthday celebrations in the middle of May.

That's what I have been up to...........

First Crop

My mom and I went to my first crop at Bonney Lake High School, it was a fundraiser for the Band, which my nephew is in. They had some die-cutting stuff from Ben Franklin and a small store. I think there was a pretty good turnout and I hope the band earned a nice bit of money, they even had a silent auction and I won a kit. We both got a lot done. I'll have to post some pics later. That's my mom scrappin...

Today we are off to Disney on Ice with Emily and Zoey and the think they are going to Disneyland today, silly girls!!

Such a long time.....

It has been almost a month since I posted on my blog....... What a bad blogger I am... Sorry. These are some more of the fall cards and Layouts I made for my LSS Scrap n Book in Puyallup, WA.

I have taken quite a few pictures from halloween and the end of summer that I would like to get scrapped, and I have a Chirstmas kit from my LSS that I hope to get done at my first crop tonight, my mom and I are going, and have been busy with the holiday craft shows that I do with my Aunt Terri and my Mom.... So much on my to-do list right now.

Sunday my mom and I are surprising the twins with Disney on Ice, it should be a blast and I'm looking forward to that on Sunday.

Enjoy your Saturday!

Fall is in the Air

This is a little mini I made for Scrap N Book my local scrap book store in Puyallup, WA. It's full of my favorite fall things! Pumpkin Pie, the colors of the leaves changing, pumpkin spice lattes, Yum!

Meet Blanco

This is my newest addition, his name is Blanco (Spanish for White), if after his first trip to the vet, he turns out to be a girl we'll have to change his name to Blanca, LOL. He was 6 weeks old when I got him from my brother, he is very mischievous and not at all into cuddling. The top layout is from a sketch I used from my friend Susan's awesome sketch blog, Sketch Savvy.

Sketchy Thursdays latest sketch

Here is my take on this weeks Sketchy Thursdays sketch it was a lot of fun and I just loved the papers I found in my stash to use with the Lady Gaga pictures I took at her concert this past August. Thanks for looking!

September's Kit

These are the projects I made with my Scrap n' Book kit they are on display at their store right now. The kit was loaded with all kinds of Basic Grey Basics papers and a brown little Basic Grey mini that I made a little favorites album out of.

I made this cute little gift card holder I loved the way it turned out it reminded me of a little sleeping bag while I was making it.

I decided to make a few cards to have on hand incase I know someone is getting married. My cousin is getting married on October 2, so this will come in handy.

I really like all the browns that came in my little kit they looked great with the Basics papers, brown red and white really looks great together. Thanks for looking.

Fun with Sketches

This morning I woke up and decided I would have some fun with sketches. The first sketch is from my friend Susan's cool sketch blog, Sketch Savvy. Here is my take on her sketch.

The second sketch is this weeks Sketchy Thursday's sketch its a card sketch that was a bunch of fum to make it is a great sketch and I can see myself using it again and again. You can check out Sketchy Thursdays here.

This is my take on it I turned it.

Most of the papers and embellies I used are from Crate Paper's Brooke line and I think they are fantastic. Thanks for looking happy Saturday everyone. I'm off to see Lady Ga Ga in concert tonight and I'm sure I will have a blast!!

Tourista

This is my take on Sketch Thursdays Guest Designer Challenge. It was fun to have a circle picture in the sketch it got me thinking outside of my element. I think I will have to do some more circle pictures soon.... Have a great weekend.

Sketchy Thursday

Here is my take on this weeks sketch over at Sketchy Thursdays, they always have great sketches over there this week was a 2 pager and I knew I had to do it. This layout is some odds and ends pictures from our recent Mexico trip.

Happy Sunday

This is a layout I made for Sketchy Thursday 8.5 Sketch Challenge. This layout is from my August Kit from Scrap n' Book. The pictures are from Emily and Zoey's first day home from the hospital, they just turned 4 in July, how time flies.... Happy Sunday.

Sunday's Sketch

This is for Sunday's Sketch over at the Studio Calico Blog. You can see it here on their blog. It was just what I needed to jump start a little creativity.

Done

I have had this layout on my desk for over a month. I finished finnaly. Turned out really cute, thes pictures are from Zoey's first night away from her twin Sister Emily, she was soooo brave. We had fun and she stayed up later than I could.

It's been a while

I have been really busy hanging out and enjoying summer. I have only been home for 1 weekend since the end of May. I have gone to Mexico, over to eastern Washington, over to the ocean and back again. All while I have been trying to train for a triathlon. So here are a few pics of some of the things I have been able to craft, and a few pics from some recent trips.

A recent 2 page layout I made from our recent trip to Mexico.

A summertime card.

A fourth of July box and a camping layout because it's summer time.

I went to see Tom Petty at the Gorge in eastern Washington with my friends Leanna, Bobby, their daughter Addison, and Randy. We had a fantastic time.

And we all went to Mexico for a week for our friends Randy and Steffen's wedding. It was beautiful. We were there for an entire week at the end of May/beginning of June. We are all ready to go back it was a really fun trip. We went snorkeling, we road some ATV's into the Jungle, drank lots. It was FUN. I think I'm ready to go back.

It's supposed to be 100 degrees here today which is pretty dang hot for Washington, I think I'll be laying in the sprinkler after my bike ride.
