P52 Week 9

Good Wednesday morning all! Here we are at Wednesday this week.  This is the part of the week that always just flies right by...next thing I know it is Friday.  I like that!  I've got my most recent P52 pages to show you today.  Nope, they don't match and I'm totally okay with that.  Since the content was completely different as far as pictures went (and I wanted to play with a new kit) I decided to go mis-matched.  Kinda fun, I think!

So the kit on the right is another new one by A-Manda Creation called Beary Lucky.  It is crazy how fast Amanda is cranking out these great new kits, huh?  In case you can't tell it is a St. Patrick's Day kit but has plenty of accents for non-St. Patrick's Day layouts, too.  I gotta tell you though...I can't wait to get some St. Patty's pictures so I can use the cute bear embellishments, too!  (Click on the photo to see the pages larger)

Alright, friends...this is just a short post today so I'm off.  I hope you have a fantastic day today!

Thought of the day:  Love your parents.  We are so busy growing up we often forgot they are busy growing old. 

Timeless

Good Monday morning friends! I hope you had a great weekend!  It was a pretty low key weekend for me...as usual.  Today, I have a couple of pages to show you that are from another new A-Manda Creation kit.  This kit is called Timeless and is amazing for any older type of photos you might have.  I'm awaiting some photos of the bed and breakfast my mom and dad used to own.  It was called the Antique Rose Bed & Breakfast and I know the photos will be perfect with this kit.  In the meantime I've made a couple of pages with some old photos of me that I found the other day. 

The above pages has the oldest of the photos that I found.  The bigger photo is of me when I was 6 months old.  The photo on the top right is my brother and I and the bottom photo is of me with my grandma.  Those photos are a treasure for me.

The photos above are, obviously, school aged photos.  I don't know exact ages and I stink at guessing that type of thing but I'd say the top two are late elementary/early middle school and the bottom is probably 2nd grade or so.

I'm trying to figure out how to place two 12x12 pages on one 12x24 layout out so that I can show you them side by side.  I haven't figured it out yet but I will!  I may have to use PSE...we shall see.

That is it for today.  Have a wonderful Monday!  See you soon!

Thought of the day:  Made today ridiculously amazing!

Wishing you...

It's Friday and I'm doing the (happy dance in case you can't tell)!  I'm not sure why as my weekends are much like my weekdays but Friday still makes me happy!  Guess what today is?  Today we get a new sketch from Sketches by Carly.  The SBC design team has now been made into two teams, one will post the day the sketch starts and one will post the next week...we want to make sure you have lots of inspiration for the sketch!  Technically this is not my week to post but I happen to adore the card I made so I decided to post this week and next! 

So our sponsor for this sketch is Bugaboo.  They are nice enough to let us choose which image we'd like to work with (which is hard because all of their images are soooo cute!) so I chose this cute lucky turtle.  I paired it with a sentiment that says 'wishing you all the very best' and some cute St. Patrick's Day papers, added some fun twine and pearls and wahlah...a cutie card!

You can hop on over to the Sketches by Carly blog to see the sketch and what my design team sisters have made as well as see the actual sketch which my card is pretty true to.  Remember the winner of the sketch will receive SEVEN digital images from Bugaboo...they are so generous, aren't they?

Well, that is it from me today.  I hope you have a wonderful day and weekend!

Thought of the day:  If you have the courage to begin you have the courage to succeed! 

Purple Petals

Good morning friends!  How is your week going?  Good I hope.  If it hasn't...hang in there...the weekend is coming and maybe you can get some rest then!  I have a couple of more scrapbook pages for you.  These are using the new Purple Petals kit from A-Manda Creation.  I normally don't have any reason for a purple colored kit, having all boys you know, but I really like how these turned out. 

Todd and I love to spend time in Leavenworth for our anniversary.  We go through the shops, eat at our favorite restaurants, stay at our favorite bed and breakfast (that is if we can stay two nights as that is their requirement) and recently we added some hiking into the mix.  I love that!  The views are just incredible!  This particular anniversary we added a guided wine tour in an SUV limo to the mix of things.  While it was fun I wish we would have paid the extra for it to just be Todd and I.  A couple of people in the group were a bit...unique.  I guess many people would think Todd and I are unique, too though so I'll just be quiet now. 

I hope you like these pages.  I think they are quite lovely.  Tomorrow is a new sketch from Sketches by Carly so I hope you'll stop by so see what I came up with!  I can tell you that I really like my card this time AND I didn't forget this time!

Thought of the day:  Be yourself. An original is always worth more than a copy.

Need you to make a change....

First thing, first.  I know, if you are a blogger or follow any blogs, you know that Google Friends connect is going away as of March 1st.  That has caused those of us with Google Friends Connect to find a new way to make it easier for our friends to follow our blog.  So...I have added Linky Friends.  It is as easy to use as Mr. Linky is so I hope you'll make the change over with me!

Please know that I will remove the Google Friends Connect widget from my side bar on March 1st.  PLEASE make the change over to Linky Friends now so you won't miss any of the fun content that I will post in the future!

***Need a little incentive?  How about I do a giveaway on March 1st and choose the winner from all of the names that are following me in Linky friends?  How about a $10 gift certificate to the online store of your choice?  Yeah, I thought you'd like that!  Now go...follow me on Linky Friends!***

This post will stay at the top until March 1st so please scroll down to see my most recent creations!
