Yum, apples!

JT and I went to the Apple Orchard and picked apples this October. We got a Caramel kit so we could have our yummy apples as caramel apples. They were delicious! This is the first time we've tried anything like this, it was fun. I scraplifted this layout from SCS: Pam124 who was the Featured Stamper a few weeks ago. As I was browsing her card gallery, I saw she had scrap pages too! My youngest DS is always willing to "try something new". Tonight JT cooked dinner for us with recipes he saw on a cooking show. Of course I got picts and the grocery list so I'll have to scrap those pages soon! It's all good. Supplies: SU! Bella Rose DSP, SU! Scallop Circle Punch, SU! Corner Punch, Grosgrain Ribbon, CTMH Holiday Buttons

January Altered Calendar (Date) Books

Happy New Year 2010!

One of my 2010 Goals is to complete an altered project once a month. I finished January's today. I picked up these 2 Year Date (Calendar) Books at the Dollar Store. I only bought 4 thinking I'd probably never get to them just like all of the other altered projects I never get to but today was the day. I used some Scraps from an old SU! SS Kit - In Full Bloom. It was perfect. I finished up 4 of them, 2 of them I didn't photo I put names on them. Very fun project! Supplies: SU! In Full Bloom SS Kit, SU! All Around Alpha & Number Stamps, SU! Mello Moss Ink

Dream Big

Happy Monday! This card is for Mojo Monday Challenge #119 (Mojo119). I'm hoping in 2010 I'll get to use these challenges more often. I also did this card for SCS CAS (Clean & Simple) Challenge (CAS47) to use a Disney theme. I'm not sure that "clean & simple" is my "style" but I tried. I do love Disney as it brings fond memories of taking the boys there when they were younger. Since all the family lives in FL, most times we were with them enjoying a good time at the theme park! Supplies: CTMH Paper Grins & Giggles, CTMH Ink Black & Cranberry, CTMH Stamps Sans Serif Lower Case, Gingham Ribbon Michaels, Paper Flowers and Paper Ribbon Unk,

Look Grandma!

I was feeling a bit nostalic and when I saw this picture I knew it was time to put it into a scrapbook page! This is my oldest son who is now 18. He's 3 in the picture and my Mom sent him Orlando Magic shirt/shorts. He was ready for basketball! I used CTMH Stamps, CM Star punches and SU! Ribbon. I'm not sure where the paper was from, it's been in my stash for awhile. The sketch is an older PageMaps Sketch.

Rustic Rooster

I received this stamp set as a gift and I've been wanting to try it out. Today for the Featured Stamper Challenge #150 at SCS, I decided to use it. It's not very "Christmas Like" but I was using scraps. Supplies: All SU! except for the Flowers

2010 Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers - #29

How Exciting! I'm joining a Group of Gals who have committed to keeping their blogs up-to-date with current info and lots of inspiration! I so needed the creative push to do this! I'm very excited to share my cards, altered items and scrap pages with more friends. Now that my sons are older, I have more time to devote to my scrapping and stamping. I've scrapbooked since 2002 but have just recently spent more time stamping and creating cards! What a fun 2010 Challenge to join! Welcome to my Blog! :)

A Beautiful Day

We had SUCH a good time just going away for the weekend before JT went back to school. We stopped for a late afternoon/early dinner picnic. We were headed to Toledo to the Zoo the next day. Scrapbook Supplies: CTMH Tinkering
