Weekend Crop & Chat May 15th

Great work Tammy and can't wait to see what you have done Shel...I have been doing laundry all day, I had so much catching up to do. Hope your outside birthday party is going well Steph, by any chance did you see my mojo at the party...I'm still looking for it..... Hope all you gals are having a wonderful weekend!

We're back! We've been home for a while, been playing with Austin and all his new toys, lol. It didn't end up raining and the party went really great!! I am exhausted!! We're going to have supper and then I may need a nap before I can get much of anything done!

Tammy, love your layout!!!

Can't wait to see what you've been creating Michelle!

I love your LO Tammy! I so want to learn to do digi!

Glad Austin had a great party Steph. Kids parties are so fun!

We spent this morning at the park watching the fair parade. Tyeler and Paige got to ride on the Sheriff Dept. float with their daddy. Then they came home and played in the sprinklers for a couple of hours (103 here today...yikes!!). Paige fell asleep on the floor before she even got redressed. I lifted Tammy again.

Tammy's 'Make a Wish'


My lift

Steph glad your party was a success!!

Berta, wow, love the lift!! 103 degrees?? wow, I only wish I knew what that felt like! It was a bit chilly here today!

heres my challenge 2 using the kit!!

I love how you used this awesome kit. You had better make a copy for me to work with. With dial up, I would be downloading it next week. I don't think that I remember this picture of ma and George.

What wonderful stuff ladies!!! WTG.....

It's 39 this morning... think I'll be waiting till a little later to work on the outside stuff.....

What are you up to today?

WOO HOO... technology repaired
Here's my page:



I lifted this beauty from Brenda:

Terri, gorgeous work!! Michelle, love your lift! The paper is so cute!! It is raining here and miserable. So glad I got my yard work done yesterday! We are headed out for breakfast with my family celebrating my birthday that was last week, then this afternoon I have to work. Hoping to fit some scrapping in between! Hope everyone has a great day!

Wow, ladies, you are doing fantastic on the lifts and kit! Thanks so much for participating......

I am recovering or trying to recover from a stupid idea last night........they show free movies in the park, what a great way to spend and evening with the boys and little girl right??? well......ummm.......lying on the ground.....HORRIBLE idea......I hurt sooooo bad.......cannot even find a comfortable position to sit.....I am sure you can imagine the night was filled with pain and LACK of sleep........grrr.......just looking forward to Tuesday and hoping this injection does wonders...

I doubt I will be scrapping today, but time will tell........I would like to, we have some cute pictures of the kiddos and from david's trip to DC.......

Thanks everyone for taking my challenge!!! Keep up the great work!! Keep them coming, there are some great LO's for me to lift!

Martha, I feel for you! I went through years of back pain and ended up having major back surgery when I was only 22. Hope the injection helps you feel better!

I used a sketch for inspiration. Here's the sketch (by Carrie Walz @ ScrapbookingandCraftingFriends.ning.com)

Here's my page:

Beautiful job Brenda! love the colors!

Great layouts ladies!!!

I am still hoping to get to this eventually! We are going to my friends house today to do some work. We both are coordinators for the Folk Fest this year and we have to do some coordinating, lol, and I'm goning to bring my business plan work along and see if we can knock out a few assignments on that as well! Austin is packing up almost all of his birthday presents to play with while we are there, lol!!!

Have a great time Steph!

Martha... I'm so sorry you aren't feeling well.... that totally stinks....

Well, I got my front bed cleaned out... and a real good start on what will be my garden area.. I had to go buy a cultivator and the battery is charging right now, so I get a little time to play

AWESOME sketch Brenda... and what a gorgeous page!

Well, that was a quick visit! My friend was trying to avoid someone...someone I also try to avoid like the plague...so we did our coordinator stuff really quickly and then we all got back on the bus and Austin and I came home and her and her girls headed to WalMart. Austin's out playing in his sandbox and I have been doing my annual cleaning of the porch and outdoor furniture. Going to work on some digi stuff now, I think I have the PERFECT photo to go with Martha's kit so I want to get that done for sure!

Wow! Beautiful work ladies!

I love the colors in the digi kit.

It's another HOT day here! 105!!!! Where did our Spring go??

I lifted Tammy's 'Priceless' tthis time.


My lift

Great job Berta!! I think if it were 105 here, I'd be in my basement room scrapping too!!!

Ooops... forgot to give an update... went to Sam's club.... back home and everything put away.... got in the shower WOW... that felt good!!! Dogs are fed and the kids are eating their supper on the back patio.... I'm thinkin' it's time for mommy to scrap!!!! I have mojo, but keep finding things that need to be done!

These are all wonderful, ladies!!! It's been a busy weekend here. DH is off and we've had DGD Kaylee. Visited DD which is about 2 hrs. away and Mom's been in the hospital a couple days with a kidney infection. She's feeling better now.

I was inspired by this May Becky Fleck PageMap.

Wow, there have been some busy scrappers this weekend. Our weekend didn't go as planned. We got home from the market yesterday to a message that my FIL had been admitted to the hospital with a bacterial infection in his bloodstream. I sure hope the antibiotics can get it cleared up soon. He just had a heart valve replaced about 18 months ago, and they don't want it to colonize there. If so, he'll have to undergo surgery again. Hoping praying for the best.

I did scrap a little this afternoon. I worked on the telephone tag.

Wonderful job Berta!! Deanna and Val, really hope your in-laws get well soon!! Im done working, going to work on a little digital! I was at Michael's today and picked up a $1 frame and a new pack of DCWV Garden Party paper, so I think I'll work on the frame for the monthly contest tonight too!!

Oh Valerie... I hope he's doin' ok... and Deanna... hope your mom is too!!

What an INCREDIBLE page Deanna.... I adore it!

Love all the work you girls have been doing, the scraplifts, sketches the digi stuff etc. Trying to get something done here but don't know if it will get done tonight or tomorrow, I just hope to get it done sometime working on two techniques...sorta! Well anyway, hope you all have a good night, that all your loved ones get better and that those in pain, have a better day tomorrow, pain free!

I did three different things...first the little pebbles were diffrent colored so put them in a baggie with a few drops of ranger ink...and changed them to pink! The words are written on plain white cardstock with a sharpie...then to match better with my paper used my cats eye's three different chalk inks to get the effect. Then the flowers (I saw this somewhere else and loved it) are made out of patterned paper...doodled on and petals are curled...and yep it is stiff and holding the shape. I did mine with the retro flower punch, but I am sure you could cut your own use die cuts etc.

WOW! That's beautiful, Jill!
