Been Busy

2009-11-19T12:04:00.004-06:00

Sorry i haven't posted in a few days. I have been busy working on gifts to order from Artscow (a really neat online place where you can make ALL kinds of cool photo gifts). I was working on calendars to give my family using pictures and dates from each individual family.... took a while because for some reason my computer kept freezing up and frustrating me to the max... I had meant to post these qp's i made using April's CowboysNIndians kit that i made last week, but like i said i got frustrated and didn't get to it....so here is the first qp/layout i made , i think it would be great for a girl who may not be into cowboys and indians like a little boy may be , but still i thought it turned out pretty.....don't worry i made a little boy one for Conner too, but that's tomorrow's post..enjoy, and don't forget to go by April's to check out her stuff and if you get a chance go by Artscow and check them out too...( its free to register and you get cool free stuff to start out with, just pay shipping)...

I know I'm late, and i was actually going to showoff some pages i did using April's HollowsEve kit...but i got the weekend off and we went to my dad's and the grandkids come with and while i was trying to squeeze in some computer time , they had to see what i was doing and one thing lead to another and they wanted to do their own pages so i couldn't resist showing off the future generation of scrapping ... the first page is from my grandson Conner who is 3... he didn't want to use actual pics from Halloween so he put the witch in the frame....he also came up with his own text???? athe second layout is from my 5 year old Ashleigh.... she designed the whole thing....can't wait till we get home so i can print them out for them.... will try and get MY pages on tomorrow...

2009-10-20T18:20:00.001-05:00

Hey everyone, Well as I am sure ya'll know the economy is really bad and with the holidays approaching at a rapid pace I have found that I need some extra cash flow at our house...so with that being said I am going to try to sell some of my qp's online....Yes I do have April's permission to sell these and I am only going to sell the ones that have been on the blog for 1 month or more....I hope this doesn't stop people from stopping by and like i said i will have them for free for the first month, then i will go back and deactivate the links once i put them online to sell..Again, I hope everyone understands and keep coming by as i do like to show off what I have done (using April's great stuff of course) and I always welcome any feedback ya'll give.... I hope to have my 3rd layout using April's FairyLand kit up soon, but i am having trouble getting the pic to upload...be back soon with it I hope....

This year Labor Day weekend fell on my birthday, and we had a combined b-day, going away party (my dad is going to Cyprus) and Labor day party. We went to dad's at the lake, and the kid's had a ball swimming, running around, playing outside. The rest of us grownups just had a good time visiting and keeping up with them...The kit I used was Aprils LaborDayUSA. Its bright and cheerful and has really cool pinwheels on them. Now one of pages I used twice I just flipped it..I plan on them being side by side in a book...You can get page 1 here , page 2 here , and page 3 here Hope ya'll enjoy the qps...

Well April has been busy again, she has made an adorable kit called tooth fairies...and while my Ashleigh hasn't started to lose her teeth yet, i thought it would be perfect for pictures i took of her very first visit to the dentist..she was so brave... and so excited when he gave her a new toothbrush she asked for one for her bay bother who was only 5 months old at the time...i have your quickpage here (yellow) and her (pink) and here (green).

Birthday Girl 2

2009-08-29T10:25:00.005-05:00

well I just had to do another page from the party for Isabella...while she wasn't in these pics, it was too funny to pass up. I (being the great NANA i strive to be) had gotten Ice cream cookies (with icing flowers on top) for the bigger kids to have. Little did us grownups know that while they were outside (of course) eating them, their little creative minds came up with face painting themselves or each other and made such a mess...LOL. It was great, i didn't even mind cleaning them up...awe the joys of being a NANA...of course i used april's birthdaygirl kit for this layout and you can get the qp here. ..please let me know what you think.

April has been one busy little bee. I think she has come up with 4 new kits in less than 2 weeks...and they are all just great. This one called SandyBeaches would be just perfect for all those trips to the beach or lake everyone ( but me) got to do this summer....I did have one cool picture i took of the shortest lighthouse I have ever seeen when I was at my son's in Washington D.C. this past April...You can get your qp here and i hope you be sure and drop by and check out April's site to see all her new stuff.

I cannot believe how fast time has been flying this year. Already my baby Isabella has turned 1....I know they say the older you get the faster time seems to go but this is ridiculous ...anyways this past week end we had our party and I was so caught up in my new alpha making mode, I forgot to make a page for her birthday....so I used April's Birthday Girl kit from a little bit ago and made this page...you can get the qp here .....I will probably do more (only have 200 pics to scrap) but i just got home from a 2 day meeting for work...so it may take me a bit to get in the right mind frame...please let me know what you think.

Been busy again,(i'm supposed to be cleaning house) but I didn't want to forget how I wanted my other pages from this kit to look. The first one (get here ) i did a little different, instead of cutouts for the pics, i just reduced/cut and put on April's tags...the next one I did (get here )
i liked so well that i guess my brain froze and the only thing i could come up with for the next two (get here and here ) was to change the hue on it and this is what i came up with.... hope everyone likes it.

Catching Fireflies in my Backyard

2009-08-15T10:17:00.004-05:00

April's kit Catching Fireflies in my Backyard is just perfect for these photo's I took of Ashleigh hunting Doodlebugs in our yard...she is forever asking for bowels to put them in, then we have to go thru the whole routine of way she has to let them go at the end of the day.... I use guilt as a way of making her let them go..."...but Ashleigh, if you keep them their families would miss them and be very sad..." Works every time. You should check out this great kit at April's blog/store...while your there checkout her other's too.. hope you like it and can use it for your backyard shots.

April's still having computer problems, so i haven't gotten her newest kit yet.. can't wait, have the perfect pictures for it planned... you can get the qp here.

I just had to post this... April has made another cute kit called Catching Fireflies and she made this qp that you can get on her blog....the picture is of Ashleigh on the hunt for roly pollies (at least that's what we call them) and she just looked too serious, so i had to take her picture...i have more with all her bug catching gear, just waiting to get more qp's done from this new kit.

POOR BABY - - - BAD NANA!

2009-04-07T19:20:00.005-05:00

I took a few more pictures besides my bluebonnet pictures out in our front yard. I couldn't help myself but it was just too funny. We had gotten a walker for Isabella at a garage sale and couldn't replace the batteries but thought it would work for the few times she would use it at our house....anyway the music REALLY drags and sounds so very sad....whenever she pushes the little button it plays the saddest sounds and she starts to cry with it, and makes the biggest , saddest tears....then she hits it again...and again.....well being the picture taker nana that i am i had to record this moment....till my daughter said i was such a bad nana...and had me put down the camera and pick up isabella.... but i did get enough to make this page.... i made this from april's back to school kit.

new post---finally!

Scrapit Sassy Layout

2008-11-30T10:24:00.004-06:00

I have been accepted on a CT team at Scrapit Sassy and have finally finished my first two layouts for them. I used Deborah Sparks' kit Hidden Charms. I hope you like them, they are pictures that my best friend April took of my husband and me a few years ago as my birthday present from my dear hubby...he hates having his picture taken..but I loved each and every one and it was hard to pick one to go in these layouts... i just love the old timey vintage look.

new site

2008-11-30T09:53:00.004-06:00

I found a new site last night while cruising around and i had to grab her freebie kit...i just loved the flowers in it. The site is Mother Dragon's Creations and from what i can tell they just started and i hope to be going back often. I made this layout with her kit...it's a picture of Ashleigh and Conner hamming it up for Nana..

4shared??

2008-11-14T07:25:00.002-06:00

I just realized that since I haven't been on 4shared in over a month, they deleted all my old files. I'm not sure what to put back on there, so if anyone would like a past qp, I guess, just leave me a comment here and i will reload any that are wanted....sorry about that.

Happy Halloween

2008-11-13T12:06:00.006-06:00

Happy Halloween everybody! I know I am late,but I finally have found my mojo,creative drive, whatever , but I finally felt the urge to create again, so I went and started on April's creepy crawlie kit. I did two pages from Halloween with the grand kids and my dear sweet hubby, who as you can see HAD to dress up also to take Ashleigh and Conner Trick or Treating. We all had fun and i even dressed up Baby Isabella. You can't tell but the way she is sitting up (even at only 2 months) is the really cool seat Amanda got at the baby shower....the coolest thing ever since Isabella has decided that the laying down prone position while she is awake is just NOT what makes her happy....she likes to be upright and looking around...anyways, here are my layouts....if you want the qp's you can get them here and here . I left off the words on the Halloween 2008 but i used the MatisseITC font if you want to use the same.

I know I am new at this but I thought the comments would help me grow and get better. But if no one comments (even to just say TY) then i get 85 downlaods I just feel used...I know 85 is not alot in scrappin land but to me i felt that was good for a beginner. I will probably be back later , especially as April has a new kit she is working on that I will want to show off. She is my inspiration, I hope to be as good as her one day....ok , pity party over. Bye for now.

Be Careful What You Wish For....

2008-08-25T16:49:00.005-05:00

Ashleigh and Conner couldn't wait for their baby sister Isabella to get here, but the first day when they got to see her and be in the same room with her , the first time she started crying they both looked at me then covered their ears...couldn't help but take their pictures at their antics. It was too funny. So naturally, the good nana that i am i had to save this moment for all to see...
i used April's baby isabella kit and you can get your downloads here and here .

Isabella Renee

2008-08-21T19:53:00.008-05:00

Well I finally got time to scrap today (not much, but a little). I did two pages of my newest granddaughter Isabella Renee. She was born Tues. night and is such a little doll i have to control myself and share her with everyone else.....the first page is with some of her very first pictures and i am happy with it, the second page i did and then put in a picture. I am not sure if i like it after all...what do ya'll think....of course i made quick pages for ya'll to snag if you want you can download them here and here . As always any feedback you give is welcome and wanted. Oh by the way i used April's .Fluttering Dragonflies kit.

Baby Isabella finally got here (actually 2 weeks early) at 8 lbs, 15 oz, 210 1/2 inches....i really thought i would get to post new pics with this announcement but i left my camera at hospital with the new mom and dad to take more pics after they cleaned her up.. oh well maybe tomorrow...

Fluttering Dragonflies

2008-08-17T17:35:00.009-05:00

I finally got a little cooperation from my computer and got a chance to work with April's newest kit Fluttering Dragonflies. It is really great, you should check it out at her blog. I made 2 qp's/layouts before my computer started getting contrary and decided not to press my luck. So I am trying to get this up really fast. if you want you can download the qp's here and here .The layouts are of my grandbabies Ashleigh and Conner playing in my front yard this summer. I felt bad for not having as many of Conner as I do of Ahleigh, but he doesn't pose as well...LOL. I hope you enjoy them and would really like to know what ya'll think of them.

I just couldn't resist this shot of Ashleigh posing in her new "ballerina" outfit she just HAD to have. I used a combination of baby isabella's kit and the new dragonfly frames from April .

Young Texan

2008-07-30T19:08:00.007-05:00

I told my son Brandon about teasing him about going to Washington to learn to ride a horse, so I decided to do a page of my Ashleigh who would give anything to be able to ride horses daily if she could. She is sooo animal crazy . Between going to the zoo and any petting zoo (with pony rides of course) , I think she will either become a vet or some type of animal rescuer. I used April's kit again ( Chris's Rustic Cowboy Collection ) and I made a quick page the you can download
. I hope you like it and please remeber to leave some love.

Last baby layout (I promise)

2008-07-29T15:52:00.006-05:00

I know I said I wouldn't be doing any more layouts from Amanda's shower, but I couldn't resist showing off the latest qp i made using April's Baby Isabella's Kit. I am really very fond of it and may use this pattern again (i have got to get another kit). I hope everyone likes it as much as I do. Anyways, here it is and you can get the qp at the bottom. Please if you download, leave me some comments so I can tell if others like my stuff or am I just fooling myself that they are any good ....

2008-07-27T21:02:00.005-05:00

Here's the latest layout i did tonight. I used April's Baby Isabella kit again , but i used a picture of my niece Rachel , who i haven't gotten to see very much so she is really shy around us and was hard to get a good picture of her. You can get the quick page if you want here

"Baby #3

2008-07-26T19:42:00.006-05:00

I know i said I wouldn't be posting any more pages from the baby shower but i just couldn't resist showing off my newest qp/layout I made using April's Baby Isabella Kit she made for me. I didn't think I was going to get to it tonight but the addiction was strong than my tiredness...LOL. I did one qp using a saying that I wrote on a cake today at work and thought was too cute. so I guess this page was inspired by that ( first time I did a page with the words coming first before anything!). anyway I hope you like it and if you want you can get the qp here

back to quick pages

2008-07-23T15:00:00.006-05:00

i decided to do another quick page today. i will probably not post anymore layouts of Amanda's album(no guarantees though).... i wanted to do another page of my son Brandon who is taking riding lessons in Washington DC. ( i know, but not all Texans are born learning to ride)., anyways they are teaching him to ride but if you ask me i still think he would look better with a cowboy hat than that helmet...not very protective i know . But I am a Texan and cowboy = hat to me.Here's the page i did this morning , again using April's Chris' Rustic Cowboy Collection. which you can find here ( aprilthescrapaholic.blogspot.com ).....

Also , if interested you can get the quick page here

Baby shower games

2008-07-22T20:08:00.004-05:00

A few more layouts for Amanda's album. First two are of the yarn game--people pull out the amount of yarn they think will go around "mommy's " tummy....the amazing thing is my 4 year old granddaughter ended up playing (doesn't like to be left out of anything) and she came the closest to the right size missing by less than an inch...It was great....

credits for first layout goes to MagicMaker_babygirl qp and next goes to nana's attic_sweet country blooms_qp---both i altered to match colors...

Next two layouts are of the babyfood game(jars of baby food without labels) and the daddy to be was making the best faces...it was hard to pick one...anyway the credits for the first baby food one goes to nana's attic& cra-z-cat_simple beauty(also recolored) and the fourth one is Bald like me_bubbles babbles.

I finally got to start on my BFF's newest kit, (which still isn't named yet) but i couldn't wait... here is my first QP using it. I am sure i will do more as there is sooo much to chooose from in this kit...I didn't get around to putting pics in yet as somehow my external harddrive was unplugged and just didn't feel like crawling under my desk tonight..(way to old for that). anyways bedtime, till later...bye.
