Finally...new LO's

Ok so these have been done for awhile...I've been busy, lazy, and it's been raining!

Def not my fav lo's of all time but yanno sometimes you just have to work through the funk...and that's what I'm doing.

One was from the scrapping the music challenge "You're gonna miss this" which naturally I'm posting late for! The others were just cause...

Oddly enough I just realized...2 are Pool Lo's...and the altered canvases are beach scenes. I'm feeling summer and i didn't even know it!

Sketchabilities

So in keeping with the trend of stealing challenge blogs from Cathy...lol! I found this other one called sketchabilities. They have some pretty difficult sketches and although I struggled a bit I came up with the following LO based on their sketch and examples.

Scrap Mojo and Scrapping the Music

I super love challenge blogs...they definately get the creative juices flowing!!

First up...I'm late but hey I did it!

The song was Drive by Incubus...and I chose the line Whatever tomorrow brings for a LO of my Brother walking across the stage at his Graduation from Film School.

Next is the Elsie inspired Mojo Challenge. We had to pick a line from a Ditty Bops song. I chose Life seems to have a purpose when you're wandering aimlessly and used it with a picture I took of my Niece Michelle earlier this year. We were walking back fromt he bathroom and she just kept walking in all different directions to see if I would follow her. it was super cute and the picture I took of it speaks alot to me. I used a die cut transparency sheet that I bought in Vegas while shopping with the girls so it was difficult to photograph. IRL it's fabulous!

Thanks for looking, and I hope to have more up this evening!!

Happy 4th of July

It was a hot but fun one for us!!

Danny had a surprise in store for all the kids who came over...a giant inflatable Water Slide!!

Wil overheard us talking about something big and water so Danny told him we were getting an elephant for the 4th. He got so excited over it asking questions and imagining himself riding atop this giant beast. It was quite hysterical!

Despite having almost 30 PPL over for the 4th I was able to get a LO done!! Yay me! I used the Sketch over at Gettin Sketchy as inspiration and got this done in no time!

I just love his random little self.

And because you know I have to support a whore, I've done the newest Challenge over at http://sayitinscrap.blogspot.com

It was to scrap something you haven't seen done before. Well, if someone else scrapped their random coffee creamer pyramid pic then I'm behind lol

I took this shot along with at least 100 others at breakfast some Sunday Morning this year. We like to have fun and be silly as much as we can!
