page 21 in the catalog  Fron the Crypt Stamp set # 115460

 I LOVE THIS STAMP SET!!! The bat and the medallion are to die for!  and we used the spritzer tool and markers to spook it up a bit and direct to paper along the edges of the cardstock-  take a 12x12 and scallop punch all around 4 sides THEN stamp and add stuff and THEN cut it up for your pages-  its absolutely adorable! I can't wait till the next get together! Scrapbooking is my first love after quilting and gardening, but I seem to do more cards etc and I plan to change that here soon! its coming up on winter and the perfect time to scrapbook is all winter!

I stll have a few things I want to do on tha page (like add photos but dont have them yet) but couldnt wait any longer to share it with you!

and now for a photo of Lori! shh dont tell her she will kill me!

   she growled at me when I took the photo! lolol I love her talent, her personality and getting to know her is wonderful!  Thanks Lori for your sharing!

 

Hope you all have a freaky Friday and create something spooky too!

Anna Griffin scrap class projects

Here  is a photo of Linda and I at an Anna Griffin scrapbooking class At Scrapbook Generations in Springfield from last week. Linda is also one of my new downline and we have a ton of fun when we are together! I think I needed to comb my hair! lol

Linda is holding up the cute card that went with the pages- I am truly blessed to have a great friend like her!

 

Here are the pages I made in class, I will defintaly be using the layout for future projects!

 

click on the photo to see it larger. Since this was  class at another store and all I can tell you is that we used Anna Griffin supplies, I feel like I am cheating you! lol

Tonight I have another class I am taking-  I decided this year is MY year to learn from others so stay tuned!!!  Now, I am going outside for a while-

oh before I forget-  my doctor appointment yesterday was AWESOME, blood test was done to verify hormone levels, and in 2 weeks I will be getting my bioidenticals from my favorite compounding pharmacy!!  I am glad she WANTED to hear my symptoms, talked to me about them and never once put me down or made me feel I was wrong- Dr Wotherspoon is fantastic and I highly recommend her and her office staff!!

Tuesday.. Tuesday..Yay for Tuesday!

I am excited today not only to share a couple more layouts from my scrapping on Saturday but that I FINALLY get in to see the new doctor for my long awaited bioidentical hormones!

I have waited SIX+ weeks to see this doctor and Today is the day!  I have charted for a month what is happening on a scale of 0-5 (5 being the worst/highest)  gathered info, read books, and prayed for this day to hurry and get here so that I can finally get the help that the last doctor REFUSED to give me.  It's like they say not only on TV but in real life, keep searching for a doctor that WILL help you, I will post more tomorrow about the visit-  but for now-  let's scrapbook!

Remember that to see these larger, just click on the photo!

These are photos of my Sons Ray, Morgan my Daughter in Law Sarah and my grandson Jack (he belongs to Ray) and Katie is in there too.

 

These 2 pages are of my son Morgan Sheep Riding and winning too! I have more to share tomorrow!

Now for my thoughts:

Kudos To Miss California for her honesty!  That man asked her what SHE believed and now has the gall to critisize her for it because it didn't fit what HE believes.  Gimme a break people!

I am sick of people having to say what others want to hear or keep their opinions to themselves in FEAR of offending someone. Politically correct is in my opinion "ignorant nonsensical talk".  We have FREEDOM of speech, so don't ask someone for THEIR opinion if you don't want to hear it and don't be afraid to speak up- the leftists aren't afraid to shove/force their politics down our throats! 

Have a great day!

Grampa's Delight 12 x 12 page

We have the cutest granddaughterand  they call her Kare Bear after the care bears- duh lol

Here is a page I made for my husband for his screensaver and to put in a frame for his desk.  I found this Care Bear page at the Scrap Nook in Springfield on Hwy H.  And the minute I saw it, this page flashed into mind.  My hubby Kay is the BEST grampa & dad I have ever seen. He is kind and always MAKES time for his family regardless of what he is doing.  All the little kids at church run to hug him.... he is 6'2" tall so he just bends at the knees to be more eye level with each of them and they hug the stuffing out of him!

When we were first engaged he took me to his family reunion and all of his nieces and nephews of EVERY age would scream "UNCLE KAY!!!" and literally come running for him and they hugged him and were so thrilled to see him and they chatter and the love shared was so wonderful. It was then that I knew what a marvelous gentle man I was honored to be marrying! I am truly blessed to be married to such a wonderful, kind, and loving man!  Anyhow-   I hope you enjoy this page as much as I had fun making it!

Isn't she just a doll? To bad she lives so FAR away.

 

I have a fabulous day Saturday scrapbooking at Lisa's house!!  I have several more layouts WITH photos- I know GASP!  to show you through the week so be sure to check back-

now off to walk my mile for the day on the tread mill while watching TV lol

I am taking a class at the srcrap store this afternoon so stay tuned for the post of that fabulous project too!

more scrap pages!

I am here at the library using their dsl to post quickly!!

Here are 2 layouts using the same sketch but 2 different sets of cardstock and papers: Be sure to click on each photo to see them larger

  This is made using the Stampin Up Designer paper Maine Blueberry

Maine Blueberry Designer Paper
Coordinating Stampin Up Cardstocks
Filigree brads
Snail adhesive
Button Bouquet
Flower Layers #3
Texture plates for texturing the flower die cuts
Embroidery floss for button center (yes, it IS sewn to the navy cardstock!)
Walnut ink for edges
 
I am lousy at adding photos! But..... I can whip out the scrap pages! Lol
I go back later and add photos and then much later comes the journaling- my goal in the next 3 years is to teach myself to do it all at once and be done! Lolol roflol

And now, the same layout minus the layers for my photos and using paper from the scrapping store

 

 

When I put photos on this layout this weekend at LISA'S house.  I will matt the photos but they will be placed a bit different than in the upper layout!  I do like using walnut ink and a sponge for the edges.

Jane and I are going over to Lisa's for a scrapping day from 10-10! I am taking photos and ready made pages and getting the photos ON the layouts and journal too- ( I hate that part lol)

Stay tuned tomorrow for more projects from Last Saturday when my new recruit Lorie came to play for the day!

 

12x12 Scrap Layouts

Last night I spent a few hours in the studio making pages -  So here we go-  Rememeber that I am great at creating the page when I sit down to do it, but really lousy at putting the photos on them and even worse at the jounaling! lol

 

I LOVE these pages, I bought these elements at the scrap store outing Linda and I had yesterday- we had so much fun.  Be sure you click on the photo to see it larger.
