Elli's new love

is her brand new Dora swimsuit! She is just crackin me up with this thing! She wanders around the house wearing it over whatever she happens to have on :) What a turkey! She's going to be so confused this summer when she realizes that it's really for going in the water! I think what she REALLY likes is the material of it! I just can't believe my sweet baby is going to be two on Saturday.... I do not accept!

In other news.... I have been SUCH a bum lately! I had this big master plan to "spring" (even though it's been SNOWING) clean the house before Saturday.... hasn't happened, and paint the bathroom this week.... hasn't happened, and scrap.... really hasn't happened much either! But Elli's in bed, the pictures are printed and hopefully I can get a little mojo back tonight :)

Notes from the crappy blogger.....

Man I did SO GOOD for awhile there! :) So here's my super duper loooooong post to catch up!So the very best new thing in our house for Elli is her "my Lucas"! It all started when my dear internet buddy Wendy randomly sent me a video with her son Lucas talking on it. Elli saw it and LOVED it! She wanted to watch it all day. And that is how two tiny kids started being internet buddies! Now they send videos back and forth and have even sent eachother snail mail cards :) This layout is of Elli watching Lucas' video and blowing him back some kisses! This layout was made with sketch #10 over at Gettin Sketchy!We have some WAY COOL stuff goin on this month over at Scrapcity! We are having our next crop the weekend of the 25th-27th and you for sure don't want to miss out on all the fun challenges, games and prizes :) We have also started a brand new challenge system over there! Each month on the first of the month there will be nine challenges to get your mojo goin! For every one you complete your name will go in the hat for a prize! Woop Woop!

Over at Sassy Scrappers we are halfway through our fabulous month long grand opening celebration!!!! There are SO MANY challenges it's just plain ridiculous :) We have two awesome sponsors! Big thanks to Treasured Scrapbooking and Cupcake Scrapshop!

So I have been in a total scrapping funk lately! Thankfully last night my buddy Wendy picked a challenge for me and gave me my orders LOL This layout is for the Scrapcity monthly challenge, which was to make a layout about your signifigant other :) This layout is of a sweet picture that Lexi took of them at the park a few weeks ago! This one actually made me get all teary when I was makin it :) Thanks Wendy for the kick in the rear! It was made with this months kit from Treasured Scrapbooking!

Hold Still!

What a crazy crazy kid my little baby is! These pictures are SO how she is all day long :) This was made with the awesome I Deserve it All kit at Serendipity Scrapbooks! I just LOVE this Two Scoops basic Grey! And it was also for this weeks 12x12 sketch challenge at Serendipity courtesy of Lucy at My Sketch World!

Love how this card turned out :)

Ok so I got inspiration from ALL OVER for this card! It is based on a sketch from Lucy at My Sketch World, made with a kit from Serendipity Scrapbooks and for a challenge to make a card for a special somebody at 4 Scrappy Sisters!

My very favorite part of this card is the key, antique lace doiley and the flower that my eldest DD put together for me :)

How Many.... hairdos will you have this year?

I combined two great challenges for this one! Over at Sassy Scrappers we are having a week long member drive crop! This layout was based on Shana's awesome sketch :) I had been waiting to figure out what in the heack to do with this cool die cut number paper and am SO GLAD that I finally figured something out! I swear it's been sitting on my table taunting me for so long! :) The second challenge that I did on this layout was a daily challenge at Serendipity! The challenge was to alter something felt! I never would have thought of this on my own and I love how it looks! I used Making Memories glitter paint on these flowers (also from Making memories) and it added just the right tough of bling :)

Sketch Challenge at Stuck?!

Steph found this fun challenge blog called Stuck?! and I think this is quite possibly the coolest sketch I've ever used :) I actually had a picture and a bunch of papers on my desk all ready for tonight and I found this sketch and had to switcheroo! :) This sketch has definately produced my new favorite layout! Steve took this darling picture of Elli peeking between my legs at the punkin patch last October. She goes through phases where she is SO clingy and this day was definately in one of those phases! I love these papers from We R Memory Keepers.... I don't think the blue and orange could have matched the picture any better! My favorite part of this layout is the large white flower that I cut out with an exacto and tucked her picture behind! I also love all the little buttons from Making Memories! Their Blossoms and Buttons containers have to be my new best thing! They are just filled with all sizes of funky buttons!

Serendipity DT review ***My Mind's Eye****

I must admit.... at first I was a little nervous about these My Mind's Eye papers that I was sent from Serendipity because I wasn't sure if I had any photos that would do them justice! Turned out to not be a problem :) The first thing I realized is they are absolutely perfect for black and white and sepia pictures! this first layout is a photo I had been holding onto for awhile cause I just didn't know what to do with it! it is of my baby Elli and my neice Evy who are a couple weeks apart in age! Evy is the daughter of my big brother Kevin, whom I am very close to, and it was so special for myself and Senja to be pregnant at the same time! This gorgeous vine paper was so delicate and pretty behind the sepia picture and antique lace doily!

This second layout is actually me and my oldest daughter 12 years ago :) I scanned it and reprinted it in black and white and it was just wonderful with these papers! I love the soft yellow background that was on the back of one of the patterned papers! These papers are super thick cardstock quality and look great when sanded!And speaking of my brother Kevin..... this mini book is all pictures of me and my two brothers Kevin and Nick! These papers are perfect for older photos from the 70's and early 80's! I covered some jumbo playing cards and just embellished away!

Serendipity DT review ***Heidi Swapp****

I just LOVE these chipboard letters! They matched perfectly with the My Mind's Eye papers I was sent to design with! I think they really stand out on the page when you sand the edges too!

They were just the perfect size for this bookmark I made, which also used the My Mind's Eye papers!

And after sanding them they really stand out of this plaque I made for Steve! This is a picture of Steve and his Grandma and also his Father and Grandfather who have passed away. I was so thrilled to also finally find the perfect project for this antique quilted heart I've been holding onto!

DT Review work for March at Serendipity! ***Queen and Co***

I got a package of SUPER FUN stuff from the Serependipity store to review this month :) I just LOVE these little jewels! they are just perfect for any brown project you are working on!

They were so fun for adding to flower centers!
