More P52 Pages

Happy Tuesday friends! I just thought I'd stop in and show you my last two weeks of my P52 project. As we go through these longs weeks of March with not much going on it gets harder to find something to scrap about. Soon, though, things will be picking up and then I'll have all sorts of things to share!

So, during week 10 I joined a short term class at Jazzercise called Ballet Body.  It is pretty kick butt however I do find myself stronger each time I take the class...about three times a week.  My weight loss partners and I won that week, too.  And, I was elected Corresponding Secretary of my PEO chapter that week.  Both of these pages are made with Look Whoo, a new set from A-Manda Creation that isn't even out in the store yet. 

Last week was a very slow week but good none the less.  we had a new Carl's Jr open up here in town.  Todd and Kyler went to the grand opening...arriving probably at 5:45 AM!  They were giving out coupons for a combo a week for a year for the first 75 (but actually gave away 95 of them) but Todd and Kyler didn't make it into that 95 people.  Funny thing is they didn't even eat there as they didn't have the time to wait.  They went to Perkin's. 

Alright, there you have it for the day.  I hope your week is going well so far!  We are supposed to get some snow today, rain tomorrow.  Ick!  I'm so done with winter!

Thought of the day:  The phrase 'working mother' is redundant. 

Week 7

Good morning friends!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  We had a busy end of our week this last week but it was all fun and I'm sure you'll eventually see a page about it!  These are from two weeks ago.  I'm a little slow in getting the pages done but at least they are getting done!

Above is what I'm considering my page about Valentine's Day.  Okay, we went to Leavenworth on Monday not on Tuesday but it is what worked into our schedule so we went for it.  Leavenworth is a little town that was about to not exist anymore that re-invented itself into a Bavarian town.  It is all Bavarian themed from the buildings, to the musics, to the events it holds AND it has some great wineries!  It is a great story!  And I had to show the empty plate because I rarely finish an out to eat meal but I do love me some Hungarian goulash and spatzle!

As you all know I got some flowers from Jon for Valentine's Day and finally for that week Kyler made a board for a project in history that turned out so well and the presentation was great so we had to get a photo of that too.

Last week was a pretty slow one, in fact I only have two photos I think so it will probably be a one page layout rather than two.  We shall see though.

That is it for today.  I hope you all have a pleasant start to your week!

Thought of the day:  Happy birthday to my Jon!  He turns 20 today...he's been 20 in Afghanistan for about 12 hours now!

The Companion Page

It's Woohoo! Who has fun plans for the weekend? I don't, not really but it just being the weekend makes me happy! I'll be working on projects for the Doodle Pantry new release on Wednesday next week. I can't wait to show you the fun images DP is releasing this month!

So, the above page is the companion to the one that I showed you yesterday.  While it has some of the same colors it isn't winter because it is just about the "stuff" in our week.  I did much more jounaling on this one that I have done on the others but it is still just pretty general stuff.  I'm really liking this P52 process.  I did get behind on my scanning though so I have to do double tomorrow.  I love doing it though because it is a walk down memory lane in most cases.  This weekend I'll be making some more pages so stayed tuned!

Well, that is it from me for today!  I hope you have a fun day!

Thought of the day:  Wake up every morning with the thought something wonderful is going to happen.  Wouldn't that be an amazing way to start your day?

Snow Day

Good morning friends! Well we are on the backside of this week...how has your week been? It has been a good week for me, busy but good.  And today is Care Net day so I'll be working out, showing and heading on over to Care Net 'til Kyler is done with school.  Doesn't leave much room for crafting during the day...darn it!

This page is one of my P52 pages.  This last week we have had tons of snow so that is one of the big stories here in town.  Kyler got to play outside and we found that Trixie loves the snow too.  Then when the 8th graders from Kyler's class went to swim lessons I guess there is a tradition that if there is snow on the ground you go make snow angels...in your swimsuit!  Brrr!  There is another page to this book but I'm just sharing this one today because....

Well, did you come back to find out my news?  Okay...today is the day!  Yes, it is design team related.  Well, actually it is Creative Team related.  I am excited to announced that after only about 2 months of digital scrapbooking I have been accepted on my very first Creative Team.  The above page is made with Snow Day by A-Manda Creation...the designer I am going to be working with!  This is wonderful for so many different reason...Amanda's designs are so cute and so my style, with being on a Creative Team I will get many more pages done for my personal album, and you know how it is...if I'm on a CT I will must create...I'm just honored she would have me!  Her blog is here if you want to follow it.

So...get ready to see lots more scrapbooking as well as fun cards!  That is all I have for you today so I'm going to get busy doing other things.  I hope you have an amazing day today!

Thought of the day:  You were given this life because you are strong enough to live it.  With God, you can do anything and fear nothing. 

Family

Good morning on this chilly Tuesday!I gotta tell ya...I am definitely a morning person.  I remember my boys just grumping at me when they were home 'cuz I was so happy by the time they would get up.  coffee helps a little but it is just natural for me.  How 'bout you?  Are you a morning person or a night person?

Alright, so just a little scrapbook page for ya today.  Well, it isn't little...it is actually 12x12 but you get the idea.  These are photos that were taken while we were in WI to see Jon.  This is one of the first pages I did when I started digital scrapbooking and, while I still really like it, I see things I would change BUT it is one of my New Years crafty resolutions to not have to have the perfect page.  I have to let it go or I would constantly be redoing rather than getting new pages done.

Anyway, this is a kit by Trixie Scraps Designs called Roots and Branches.  This is just a fantastic kit filled with lots of papers and elements.  Interesting note here to my paper crafting friends...what we call embellishments they digi scrapping world calls elements. 

I have an exciting announcement to make...soon!  Hopefully tomorrow so I hope you'll stop back by to see what I have to share!  In the meantime have a super fantastic day and I'll see ya tomorrow!

P52 - Week 2

Good morning! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Did anyone get snow? Everyone thought we were supposed to get a ton of it but really we just have a light coating.  I did notice, though, that the weather widget on my computer has a winter storm watch icon so I think we might be in for it now.  I just thought I'd share a couple of scrapbook pages this morning.  They are from my P52 project.  If you recall the idea behind P52 is to take photos of your week (even if you think it is boring) and the scrap them at the end of the week.  I do my week from Sunday - Saturday and the scrap the photos on Sunday...okay, that is what I'm going to do at least.

So, this 2nd week of 2012 was a pretty routine on overall.  Like the journaling says...routine and school.  The boys played, the dog slept and on Saturday I took an online class about MyMemories Suite.  I did scrap one other page but I think I'll keep that one to myself.  These fun papers and embellies are from Marie H Designs and I used Page Builders #18 for these pages.  Have I mentioned how much I love the Page Builders?  They are like a sketch...only better!

Alright, well...I should have a couple of cards for you this week.  Sketches by Carly is on Friday and I need to make something thank you cards so I'll get to that as well this week...maybe even today so hopefully I'll be back tomorrow to share a card with ya.

Have an amazing day friends!
