Challenge #1

Ok, so I am going to try something new. I'm going to post a challenge on a weekly basis. Sometimes there might be a sketch involved sometimes not. I have a bunch of stuff I have gone through that I will never use and the winner, who's name will be drawn from a hat, will get a nice little RAK from me. So who's up for the challenge!!! These challenge's will start Saturday and all entry's must be completed by 11:59 P.M. CST on Friday, so if you are not CST make sure you don't get confused (trust me it happens to me alot!!!) I will choose a winner Saturday morning and I will need that person to e-mail their information. Does that seem easy enough?

Challenge #1:

Well, since this is the first one I want you to use one of atleast three things/techniques on the list below, the more the better, but make sure you have atleast three of them somewhere visible on your project and also you may only use 1 PP! You can add anything else to your project that isn't on the list as well. You may do a layout, ATC's, cards, etc., etc.!

Eyelet
Gem
Ribbon
Staples
Inking
Embossing
Stamped Image
Sewing
Flowers


Good Luck to all of those that do this challenge and I hope you have fun!!!

Thanks for lookin'!

Road Trip

Well, I didn't get any scrapping done this weekend, but I had much more fun anyways!! We got up Sunday morning and my dad decided we were going on a road trip... the rest of us had no idea where.... but we were going!!

We had a blast, I don't remember all of the places we went, but a few were Johnson City to see the Pederales River (so pretty!!) and let Daisy go swimming, we thought she hated water, but must have just been the ocean she hated....she had a blast, LBJ State park, next was Luckenbach (omg that place is soo small it's not even funny!!), Fredricksberg, we spent the night there nad had some good German food, I thought I wasn't a fan of German food as I've had it before and didn't care too much for it, but I took a bite of everyone elses (cause I got Chicken Fried Steak...cause I was to "chicken" to get something else) and man oh man was it good!!!! I like the Texasnitzhel the best!! Mmm! We swam after we ate and then went to get appitizers at the Mexican food place next to the hotel, it was called Mamacitas and they're food was great too!! The next morning we got up and went a scenic way and saw tons of deer!! It was awesome, we went to Banderas, the cowboy town of Texas and we didn't see why it was the Cowboy town of Texas at all!! Just looked like another little Texas town. After that we went to the Guadalupe River and all of us went swimming this time, it was soo fun!! Thanks Buddy for the great idea you had!!!

We got back around 5 yesterday and we were all tired!! I think all of us made it to bed around 10 last night!!

I may or may not get any scrapping done today, as I said in another post we started WOW up again, and my brother and I are enjoying doing quests and other stuff together!!

HAHA I almost forgot to post pics of the trip!! Ditzy moment! :P Well I can't post all of them, cause there are 50!

Well, I'll put up a slideshow later when I figure out how! :P But for now:













Thanks for lookin'

What's New?

Well, it's been a few days since I've posted.... hmm lemme think... what's new?!

Umm We went to Schlitterbahn last Monday... it was a blast! I spent most of my time at the kiddie pool with a friends son because I decided after I got lost on a 45 minute ride that had a fork in it and I went one way and my brother went the other way I was going to try to stay with the rest of the family or atleast someone I knew!!

Tuesday my brother and I started training to work for my parents as it is hard to find someone to work for them.... All they wanna do is party and not come to work.... hate to say I've been fired 2 times already :P We were late the first day by quite a few hours and the second day I was late again!! They were just messing with me and now I get up a bit earlier so I have more time to get ready... only takes me an hour :P

Hmm think that's all that really happened this week.

We did nada for 4th of July. Mom and I played World of Warcraft (WOW) and brother and dad watched some T.V.

Oh, any of you play online video games??? We started playing Age of Conan (AOC) but they have too many problems and we got tired of it so we turned on WOW....It's been forever since we've played, but I'm starting to get used to it again so much more to learn!

Anyways, I'm hoping to get something scrappy done this weekend maybe... just gotta get off work before anything is decided... that sounds so cool..."I just gotta get off work first!" :P

I'll leave you with a few pics of a few of the boardbooks I've created. (They aren't new, but I haven't shared them on here yet!!)



So... Have you ever done any boardbooks? I use the BoBunny books, but I was able to see that there are so much more by other manufactuers (I soo spelled that wrong!) when we went to the Scrapbook Convention in Arlington a few last month... I think!

Well that's all of my ramblings today!!

All About the Stars

Hola!! :P

We just got finished watching The Bucket List.... have you seen it? Omg it's amazing!! I just loved it, sad at the end though :(

Finished up another challenge for the Summertime Crop that is being hosted by Cristal called "It's all about the stars" It's a card challenge and you have to use stars somewhere on your card... I went through all of my papers and can you believe I only had a whopping 2 pattern papers that had stars on them???? Well I really like how this turned out!! And by going through my mom's stash I was able to dig up some more stars!! Anyways, here it is!



What do you think?!

Hopefully tonight after we watch another movie I'll be able to get some more challenges done, but not promising anything!

Thanks for lookin'

Calling it a Night!

Well, calling it a night now!! Getting late and we're tired! I had fun doing some of the challenges and taking goofy pics!! I'm gonna be sooo behind tomorrow, out of 10 challenges I have a whooping 4 done, and new ones will come up tomorrow...or I should say today as it's 12:12 am! Time fly's when you're having fun, eh? :P

Anyways, here's the last layout I created "Please Don't Stop The Music" as I CANNOT live without music! The challenge was called Product Appreciation and is being hosted by Ashley! It def gets you thinking, you can't use any live things.... hince the name. So I chose to take a pic of my radio and almost oops'd when I was about to put a pic of my singing on the LO!



That's my 2nd attempt at Elsie's free-spirited style!!

I'll show the first one now I guess, this was also for a challenge a while back for a diff site I am no longer a part of. I did it on my man, Kenny Chesney! (I wish he was my man :P Ain't he HAWT?)



So what do you think of it? I know it's not Elsie, but it is still kinda funky and fun?!
Lemme' know!!

Good Night!!!

Tea Baggin'

Yup, I said TEA BAGGIN' :P Funny story behind that, on Just Scrappin' we had a challenge to do Teabag Folding on a card for the Summertime Crop that is being hosted by our lovely Aymee! Anyways, my mom and I were walking through the store and we were talking about the challenges we have to work on.I blurted out, and not very quietly, that I still had some tea baggin' to do and just didn't know if I could figure out how to do it! My mom just bursted out laughing at me and she says the best part about it was the look on my face after I had realized what I said. ( yes, I'm slow at times!) Here's the card I tried to attempt to make... not the best and I can promise you I will prolly never make another one as it was a PITA!! :P



(Sorry, not the best pic)

Well, I'm off to hopefully get more accomplished tonight! Stop on by and come try some of the fab challenges and get to know these wonderful ladies!!

Saturday

Well... it's finally the weekend... woohoo!! Can't wait til Monday now though.... we're going to Slchitterbahn (so misspelled that) with one of my mom's friends and her family, we haven't seen her in FOREVER!!

I got one thing done last night for the Summertime Crop it was Cherrie's "In Good Company" Challenge, I had a few slogans to choose from and found one that totally fit me and I'm not the happiest with it, because I oops'd quite a few times.... anyways, here it is!



Isn't that just the best slogan ever!

Well, I need to get off of here so I can get some stuff scrapped so I won't be behind!!

I will share the rest of my creations later tonight!

TGIF!

TGIF, Right?!!! This week went by soo slow it's not even funny!! So today we got up and went to get some applications so I could start working (need money for scrappy stuff :P and clothes of course!!) and the 2 places we went to told us they had no applications... Oh c'mon now... yea right!! They just didn't like me, that's it :P (I could really care less to be honest :P). After that excitment my mom and I went to the mall and I found my new fave store Torrid, it's for bigger sized girls, but they have the cutest clothes, and guess what? I can wear some of the clothes they have!! I'm a size 0 if you take me to that store! Woohoo!! :P I found the cutest top there and afterwards we went into the Sketchers store so my mom could get her a new pair of flip flops, they are the cutest, then went into JCPenny's, and boy oh boy did I get into trouble there!! They had some great sells and some of the cutest clothes!! I'm sure you're wanting to see what I got right? And if not I wanna show ya anyways!!!
Well here they are! Hopefully they aren't showing up sideways.... I have some serious issues with rotating my pics!!

Flip Flops, Yellow Top - (Torrid)



White/Orange Halter, Blue/Yellow Halter, Puple w/ Pink Polka Dots (JCPenny) (Sorry for the bluriness!)


Anyways, today is the first day of the Summertime Crop on Just Scrappin'! It's not too late to come and check it out, we've got some great challenges and a poll to name our very own flamingo ( if you have no clue what I'm talking about then I guess you will just have to head over there and find out :P). So far we have a total of 8 challenges and it's only the first day... still have 3 more days left!!

No pictures of any recent creations yet, but I'll share one of my favorite cards!


(Ya know I still have that card stashed somewhere I think!)

So, what do ya think of it?
I've got a few layouts I did for Father's Day that I wanna show ya, but I'll save it for another post as I think I have enough pics in this one!!

Well, hopefully I'll get to share some of my creations tonight, gotta think think think on what I'm gonna do with these challenges!! 20 more minutes before I can start creating! C'mon 6:00!!
