In between all our craziness around here, I did manage to get some creative time in. Here are a few things.
I finally scrapped the picture of Brock and I from my birthday.
When he stopped and got me rose at the gas station.












Then I got another page done for Olivia's book. Here is Olivia and my mom.



















I got some cards done too. Are you all bogged down with graduations this year? It seems like we have one everyweekend this summer. Thats ok. Someone close to us is taking their next step in life. How exciting!!! Then I also got some Father's day cards done too.














The my last one is page for Brett's book. These are some pics of him during football season. He is always so happy. He has always been taken from place to place and always remains happy. He has such a loving spirit! He always makes me smile.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!

My sister turns 30 today!! Over the weekend we surprised her with a party. She was so clueless!! She totally thought that we were going to get pedicures! We will have to plan those out for next weekend. Love ya sis!!

Q-TIP

We gave Brett anoth haircuit. He looks like such a BIG BOY! Up close he almost looks bald because of his blonde hair. His new nick name is q-tip.

Brian and my brother think that is what he looks like, since he has such light hair.

HERE FISHY, FISHY!

decided to take the kids fishing by the river. Olivia was so excited to use her pole. She has only used it once before. The boys each bought new poles this year and wanted to try them out. It was a good try for everybody, but nobody fished anything! The current was pretty strong and no one wanted to wait.

NEW WORK

Its been kinda crazy around here lately. Here are some things I've been working on.

The colors in this layout seem alittle bright, but they are inspired by one of the new paper packs in the new summer idea book. The layout is from Shanna's scrappy sketches.

These cards were fun to make. I finally found the pattern to make the dress. and the tracks on the dad card are from an old car toy that the boys played too hard with, that I ran through paint.

I love this picture of Brian's mom and Olivia. I am trying to use up some of my older papers.

A girl can never have too many hats can she? when Olivia was a baby, I used to LOVE to put her in different hats, as you can see. She looks cute in anything!!

Olivia's first swimsuit. I love this swim suit. I would of bought one for her to wear now too if I'd know how cute it would be. It reminds me of the suits my mom used to put my sister and me in when we were little.

Well, that all for now. Have a great weekend!! HAPPY NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY!

FUN

No artwork to share. Friday the boys left with Mom and Dad to Missouri. They are to Big cedar. Lucky boys! So Brain and I decided to give the two little ones some one on one. With four kids its hard to do that once in awhile. So, yesterday we had an easy morning. then we took Olivia and Brett to Cabelas. They Love to see all the animals and Brian tried to find some new work boots. We looked at boats too. We can dream!! We even ate lunch there. Everyone around us got such a kick out of little Brett trying to eat his HUGE hot dog. I wish that I had had my camera. It did look pretty cute. Then we were off to Build A Bear. Brian treated Olivia to a new Pink poodle that she picked. Then she dressed it a Hanna Montana outfit. It was so cute and to see them together was even better. Its not often that she gets one on one with her daddy. It was such a fun day!! I wondder what in store for us today! Have a blessed day!

MAGIC MOMENTS

Sorry to to do so many posts in one day. lately I have been doing what I can when I can. The boys are leaving with Brian's folks for a few days and I have trying to get all their things ready to go! I've been trying to fill my pages for this months special. These pages are so wonderful! They are already laid out& with instructions if you want to use and stickers and ribbon and brads! I'm trying to do mine like CTMH has shown theirs. So you can see it. This is what I have done so far. Enjoy!

NEW PAGES

Here are a few new pages that I got done the past couple days.

Brett is such a happy go lucky kid! You can't really see in picture, but he is grinning ear to ear. I am so blessed to have my kids. Everyday is a new adventure.
This page is all about rub ons. that is all I used. I ususally try to add alot more. It turned out great!

NO LION. .

I've been wanting to make this since I saw it on the BB. The inside says you're the grrreatest! I think its just TOO cute! I think I'll give it Brock. He has been on the Honor roll for two quarters in row!!! We are SO proud of him!

MUSIC

Did you see? Did you hear? I've added music for your listening pleasure. I hope you enjoy. You can do it too. Go to www.playlist .com
Have a creative day!

MAY PROJECT

I saw a similar project done by someone else and thought it would be fun! I think it turned out nice! So next month in celebration of National scrapbooking day May 5th, I will be hosting a workshop to maek this beautiful piece of art. I purchased the frame at a local store and decoarted it with CTMH rub ons, flowers and silouette papers. If you are interested in making one, please contact me.

PATENAUDE BENEFIT

Thank you all who helped out, by purchasing a raffle ticket. The benefit for my uncle was great! below is picture of my uncle Perry and his fellow mail carriers that helped put on this great event. My uncle is the 2nd one in from the left. Thanks again to everyone, your help is very much appreciated! By the way, the gentleman that won the 50/50 raffle donated half of his winnings back to my uncle Perry!

CRAZY

WOW! What a crazy start to our week. Monday, Brian called at 9 am to tell me his bood pressure and ticker were doing great. I said what do you mean? He had to go and stiches in his hand from a piece of metal. My GOSH!! I thank God that it was only stiches because if it had been any lower, it could have severly sliced his wrist! Then yesterday I took Brett to the doctor. The bite looking rash came back Monday night. Well, he has an ear infection, broncitous, and the rash could be allergies , but most likely is due to what is going on in his little body. Poor baby. He is now being pumped full of meds to get rid of everything. At least he is sleeping better. YEAH!! Plus, with all this rain, we have seepage problems in our basement and the sump pump is going non stop. Thank goodness it is not like the last time. I can deal with a little seepage better than water all over. Well thats it for now. I hope the kiddos take a good nap and I can get some scrappin done. God bless and have a creative day!

BLAH

Well, not much going here. I hope to get back into things soon. Brett caught some nasty virus Friday and has had a fever since. He started breaking out in bite-like, welt looking things. Poor baby. And he is not sleeping well, which means I am not getting any sleep either. Hopefully I don't get this bug. Thank goodness my big boys go back to school today. Its been a fun week. When will spring REALLY be here? Well off to take care of my baby. Hope to posting some artwork soon! Have a great week!

SCRAP CLASS

Here are the pages we will be making for April. These pages will hold plenty of pictures and some hidden journaling. We will be using paper from CTMH Paper Garden Collection and Big Pinks.
