Monogram home decor

I am so excited for an upcoming wall decor monogram project that I am doing in our living room. So much so, that I wanted to do a monogram nothing like the one that will be in the living room at the scrapbook store for my design team home decor project. 

Ok. Laugh it up.

Mr. T.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Done?

Here's a close up. I had my camera phone with me, so this is what I got. 

Thanks for checkin it out! and getting a good laugh on our account.

I pity the fool who laughs at MR T.

While my husband's at the Cardinals game...

I could be doing a whole bunch of stuff I need to get done...but I think wihle the boys are sleeping, I am going to use this Sunday as a true day of rest. I just got home from a great true Italian meal that my dad made (with 4 courses!) so I am totally stuffed. The boys are finally resting for the first time since their eyes opened this morning (whew!) and I need a break.

I do want to share the class samples from the upcoming Sweetheart workshop I am a part of teaching at Devine Memories on Saturday, February 7th. The class is 6 dollars, or $35 for 7 classes!!

First Design Team Page for 2009

Wow, I have been a scrappin' slacker the past few months. Today, I cleaned up my scrap area and decided to sit down and create.  I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get anything done so I grabbed a coke, my favorite glass and the laptop with some sweet tunes and got to work. I had this page kit I needed to do for DM by tomorrow, so that was nice to work with and get back into the groove! 

Here is the page that I came up with:

products used:

bazzill cardstock

pink paislee "sweet cakes" paper

daisy d's birthday rub-ons

thickers alpha stickers (i love when alphabet stickers give you enough letters to do a title... its the little things, ya know?)

ribbons

black ink for distressing

Design Team Page for September

I got my kit for the next month this week and decided to go ahead and tackle it now.

To be honest, I had a hard time with it this month. Its hard to do girly pages a lot because, lets face it. There's only so many self pages I can do and I just don't have a lot of "girls" in my life :) So I thought it would be fun to bust out the prom pictures! So I went old school. No digital pictures.

I added a couple of digital frames to the pictures before they were printed out. Everything on the page minus the rhinestones and the plastic letters and ribbons were in the kit. The rhinestones, letters and ribbons are all at Devine Memories for purchase as well as the papers, chipboard elements felt flowers and glitter tulle. The journaling is on a transparency and on the pictures and the crown there is a lot of sparkle.

We're Baaaaack!

Miss me? :)

We had such a nice time enjoying the cooler weather and great outdoors with good friends! the mosquitoes were HORRIBLE (and I wore my bug spray Michelle!) but that's really my only complaint. Its always hard to go home....until you remember there is a nice bathroom, warm bed and shower waiting for you!

As soon as I got home I tackled the laundry. I had the boys lined up at the bathtub and was taking their clothes off and putting them straight into the washer (the clothes, not the boys!), so it helped motivate me to just do it all. Now I need to fold it all and put it away. There's a lot of clothes for four people for three days....more than you realize once you start adding up all the layers!

I didn't really go too crazy with the camera. I guess I wasn't really feeling it. I had so much help with the boys that it was nice to just enjoy it. I ended up having a lot of random pictures though, so I will go ahead and post my top ten (in no order)...to see the rest of them, be sure to visit the family blog (let me know if you need the password)




my tough little camper took quite a fall.





(This was my favorite picture....)


Now its back to the heat. I have plenty of little projects here that I am itching to do (maybe I said itching because I am ITCHING SO BAD RIGHT NOW! Anyone have any remedies for mosquito bites?!)

Also, drop everything right now and go check out the Autism Raffle this week...some items being raffled can even be shipped so you dont have to be local to participate! Here is the link: Just Devine..Only 1 dollar a ticket!

Two new pages

I worked all day yesterday and this morning to get my cleaning and laundry done so that I could focus a bit on scrapbooking. I have been in a rut lately and I was trying to get out of it. I got the boys down for their naps and set up a little spot in my bedroom and got to work!

I had to do my about me page for devine memories, so I started off with this page:


Then I did my about me page. I guess I liked some of the stuff I added to that page because I carried some of those elements onto the next:


It turned out to be a fun page to do, with all the pink and rhinestones! I am so glad I got to play a little bit this afternoon! Now its time to go cook dinner! Pin It

New page!

my first scrapbook page since I got home....It's also my first design team page for this term! I think its a good page that anyone would be able to scraplift!

I used:
american crafts ribbon
my mind's eye papers
bazzill flower brads
flower chipboard ( i covered and sanded the flower with the pink polka dot paper)
rhinestones
sewing machine (I sewed white threaded lines up and down on the pink polka dot paper margin)
thickers Pin It
