Card creative

Here is another pretty simple card! Easy to use the assembly line method with this one!

Wonderful stay home kind of labor day weekend

Its been a nice relaxing labor day. Saturday we hung out in the morning watching movies and then headed to my friend Darla's for a bbq and scrappin while the boys played in the water. I got THREE layouts done!

Sunday I cleaned in the morning, then made some cute halloween banners that I will share later this week.

This morning was spent just finishing up laundry and then playing the legend of zelda with the boys. Its the first one that I used to play with my little brother back in the day. We are having a blast with it and the boys are not even complaining about the graphics lol. Love that we can download some of my favorite games from the past onto the Wii!

I did take time out however to make Taylor this!!

I modge podged the crap out of it! It's an 8 1/2 x 11 american crafts three ring binder. I covered the front and back with some October afternoon paper. I have some flair I am going to attach to the title card just haven't done it yet. Taylor bakes and cooks so much I thought it would be fun to keep track of his favorites in this one place! He already picked out one of his faves and it just so happened to be the cookies and cream cake he made last weekend and I took pictures of it!! I will keep the inside pages pretty simple. I plan on always using the craft card stock as the back ground to make it flow through the book. Hopefully he will fill it up with not only recipes but some memories as well!

 

The things that go on around here.....

This MUST have been either dress up like a wwf star OR as a Kiss band member. Not really sure which one or really even WHY?

 

This kid needs an electric razor. Check out all his chest hair!

Labor day weekend!!!

I love me a good labor day weekend!!

We used to go camping with my Dad for Labor day but well obviously we don't do that anymore. I honestly have NEVER been camping since he passed away. It almost seems like it wouldn't be as fun. He is really the ONLY person I have ever been camping with. My mom took me a couple times when I was MUCH younger. We would take the old honda with the hatchback and sleep in the back after fishing!

But mainly, it was my Dad. Some summers it was EVERY weekend! We would go out on the boat, fish, laugh, and play poker.

Not sure what we are going to do this weekend. Maybe take a drive to challis or Jackson? Or maybe a movie and dinner!? Who know's but we can do whatever we want!

One design

When I make cards a lot of times I will choose one design but change up the stamps, embellies and papers. I can make more of them that way and I don't have to think to hard, heaven forbid that happen!!

These were some cards I made assembly line with my friend Darla. We got so many cards done in about a 2 hour period that I hope we can do it again soon!!!

Layout and a blogging goal

While I was in Seattle visiting my mother this summer I spent one of the weekends with My bff Sarah and her new baby. Course by the time I actually got to see him he really wasn't so new but that didn't make him ANY less FREAKING adorable!!! SOOOO cute this little guy is! I took these photos while she was reading to him and I was amazed that the kid looked at the pictures in the book the entire time. Did not loose interest, did not fuss, just listened and processed!

For the month of September I have a goal to post something EACH day on this old blog. I used to LOVE to blog but never seem to have something interesting to say or report lately, so you may end up getting useless boring posts but dang it at least it will be a post!!! One down and 29 to go!! 

So who's going to join me!!!????
