Scraplifting!

Every once in awhile I actually get the chance to scrap...just because and not for an assignment! :)  This is one of those layouts!  I used the July sketch for the scraplift contest at CocoaDaisy!  And I am loving how it turned out!  Have been meaning to try the AC flock on these corrugated Jillibean letters for months and finally did it!  And I pulled out some pretty old papers too!  And seems like no layout is complete lately without a little glimmer...glimmer mist that is! :)

Scrapdango July Kit

I just loved these WRMK papers when I saw them!  Here's what I did with them!

This last one is for the design team page at Scrapdango! :) 

Working on a few more things and drooling over all the new releases at CHA!  I'll be back soon with more!

Cousins by the Dozens!

Here is my newest Punky Sprouts album in it's entirety!  You can see more amazing design team creations over at the Punky Blog!

These pictures were all taken at a family reunion.  They are the 9 kids of the 4 cousins who all grew up together!  So fun to see them all together!

A Punky Sneak!

With all the sneak peeks I am seeing out there for the upcoming CHA, I thought I should add this one!  Here is one of the new releases for Punky Sprouts!  This album is called Junk in My Punk!  Super fun to work with!  I used American Craft's Heat Wave line for most of it.

I can only give you a little peek but the whole book along with some from the other designers too, should be up on the Punky blog tonight!

Lots of Scrapping Going On!

This week I have my assignments for Scrapdango to do, 2 Punky Sprouts albums for CHA, and I am also goign to give the American Crafts and BoBunny dt calls a shot!  I've been up until about 1:30 the last 2 nights and I see that happening the next 2 as well!  I haven't completed anything yet so nothing to show of what I've been doing but I had this that I did before vacation that I never posted!

Where have I been?

It has been a long time since I posted anything!  A lot has gone on...some good and some not.  The day after my last post, we lost one of Tadd's runners.  He was on a hike and slipped and fell and passed away.  It was (and still is) devastating.  Victor was an incredible young man and was loved by so many including our family.  He is missed. 

After Victor's memorial, we hit the road for a 10 day trip down to the Redwoods.  It was a wonderful family trip and a great way to start the healing of losing Victor.  We hit Lassen Nat'l Park, Redwoods Nat'l Park and then headed up 101 through Oregon.  We ended the driving part at our beach house in Manzanita where my parents met us for 3 days including the Fourth of July!  Just wonderful!

After being home for 2 days (just long enough to get some laundry done) we headed back down to the coast to Fort Stevens State Park for camping with some friends.  This was our 9th time camping with them in the the last 12 years!  The three years we missed were for a broken leg and a pregnancy! :)  Great time had by all, as is every year!

I am ready to be home at least for a little while...until we head out on our next adventure!  Hoping to get some scrapbooking in but having some creativity issues tonight!  I hope the juices start flowing tomorrow!  Hope you all are enjoying your summer!
