I am a Scrapaholic August kits

I am a Scrapaholic August kits are FULL of amazing goodies... The papers and embellishments totally rock together. Lynn always puts out amazing kits. They always sell out fast so you have to act fast. If you happen to miss out you can bet that the September kit will be just as amazing.





Here are a few project that I have done with the kit so far. I have a couple more layouts that will go up on the site a bit later this month and then I can post them here on the blog. If your looking for lots of inspiration the DT at I am a Scrapaholic is always rockin and the I am a scrapaholic blog is always filled with sketches, step by step projects, tutorials, cards and much more.

All about me book

So have you started one yet??? I have been wanting to do one for over 2 years now and have had my 6x12 Rusty Pickle book sitting on the top shelf just waiting for me to grab it and start scrappin in it. So with the online crop going on at Dixie Pieces this weekend I decided it is time. hehe

Here are my first 8 pages that I got done this weekend.











I still have to alter the cover and well there are lots of pages in this book so it will be an ongoing thing. lol I am just enjoying scraping 6x12. It is a fun size.

Some summer fun projects...

Here are a couple more projects that I have done with the July kit at I am a Scrapaholic. The kit is totally fab and the colors are amazing. I am just having so many ideas swirling around in my head with all the goodies in this kit.





I believe the kits are sold out but there are extra paper packs and some little pill kits left.

Is it hot enough for you???

I really can't complain all that much since we haven't had any rain but man is it warm... I love it though. The kids are always out side playing and having a good time with friends etc. So I have had lots of time to scrap... I have been playing with the July kit from I am a scrapaholic... OMG is it ever amazing... The colors and all the embellishments are just to die for. Here are a few layouts I have done so far and I have a few more that will be up in a few days.





The last layout is for a new challenge that I put up at I am a scrapaholic. It's a liquid medium challenge. You have to use 3 different liquid mediums on your layout. Check out the "I challenge You" section of the forum at I am a scrapaholic for more details.

Rocky is like 3 times the size of LoLa... They are so stinking cute and just about house broken.

The kids are having a blast with them. Lola is very vocal loves to growl and bark to be let up on the couch with me.. She's doesn't like to be left out of anything and Rockey is more quiet but loves to play with the boys where Lola would rather sit on the couch and watch. Just like a little lady. lol

New bundle of Joy...

Ok I just had to show yall this cute little bundle of Joy we are bringing home from Texas with us...

Her name is LOLA...

She is so teenie tiny... Here she is sittin in the palm of my hand. hehe

The weather here in Texas is hot and humid but I will take it any day over rain back home and well from what I hear it's not even raining so go figure. LOL

Here are a few photos...

These photos are a few of my favorites... (you can click them to see them bigger)


Thanks for looking and have a great week.

Super Excited....

This has been on the down low a bit but I am super excited... this is an exclusive item that Magistical memories did for The Embellishment Studio for the May 15- June 15th kit. It is designed from one of my owls that I have been making since I was a kid. This is called "Liby Owl"


Leave me a comment from now till Monday May 19 and I will pull a few names on Tuesday May 20th and send out some Liby owl RAK's..

The kits will go up on the embellishment studio website some time next week so stay tuned... The ribbon is Amazing..

Down by the River...

Well things have settled down a little bit in my life. We have been doing a lot of family time and since the weather has been great on the weekends we went down by the river. Of course I had to take my camera to get some photos.

Here is a photo of Miranda... She had fun looking for cool rocks for the fist tank.. I can't believe she is going to be 14 in a few months.

The water was ice cold but you know kids they just have to get in.. lol

Here the little guys are trying to figure out if this is wood or a bone of some amazing creature. lol

This photo is my favorite photo. I have no idea why but I just love it.

I have been working on a few layouts and cards and will get them up in the next few days...

Till then... I hope your weekends have been nice and sunny.
