Scrapbook Generation Super Sketch Club Lo's

Heres some lo's that I finished, no photos added to them yet.  I have more but will wait to add them as I still need to take more photos.  These first 7 lo's are made from scraps that were left over from the kits. (April, June, July, August 2012, Scrapbook Generation Super Sketch Club}  I didn't use sketches for these.  
I also used my ATG, Tim Holtz & Jenni Bowlin dabbers, Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher Stapler, Tim Holtz Distress Ink & Shimmerz Spritz in some of these lo's.  Stamps-Inkadinkadoo, Unity, Viva Las Vegas

I used a small coffee filter that I had stamped and then colored with Tim Holtz or Jenni Bowlin dabbers.  The spritzing is done by adding the dabber paint to a Tim Holtz mister.




I used 2 Bossy Joscie Crafty Flair on these 2 lo's.

Added on Monday, February 11, 2013.  These lo's are from the June and August 2012 kits.  Sorry, some of the photos are really bad but you get the idea of what they look like.  Once my back feels better and the lighting is better, I'll try to retake them.

Without computer for at least a month

You don't find out how much you use your computer until is no longer working...  Its not just surfing the web, going to your favorite forums but its also for paying bills, ordering things online, visiting with family, etc.  I was using my phone and was having a hard time reading from the little screen when I'm used to a 24" screen on my iMac.  These old eyes are loving having my computer back, as are my fingers from doing the peck typing to a wireless keyboard.

Thank you to the Apple Store for fixing my computer!!

Recipe Album

Here is a recipe album that I made using some sleeves that you place the 8"x11" papers in to protect them, I get a box at Costco... with some jump rings to hold it all together.    Its been sitting in my kitchen with no cover for at least a year and holds the pinterest recipes that I've tried or am going to try....  So last night, I took some 12x12 cardboard from an old DCWV pad {cut to size} and made the front and back cover.  Then added 2-12x12 sheets from the Vintage Collage Stack from DCWV, cut to size and added a key to the jump ring.. Nothing fancy, but I like the way it turned out...  Also added the same paper that was used on the back cover to the inside front cover to add favorite recipes or notes to...  Just added the word Recipes to a strip of the same cardboard that has a piece of the back cover paper glued to it...  Sometimes simple is the best way to go...TFL

Are you ready for Thanksgiving Day?

We finally did our grocery shopping for Thanksgiving Day.  The store was crowded but luckily they had all the check stands open so we didn't have a long wait.  My DH is going to cook the turkey on the BBQ {love, love that he does that} and I will cook the rest of our dinner in the house...  I'm really looking forward to eating some turkey and all the trimmings...Especially spending time with our family.

Are you ready for Christmas?  We've got some presents for the grandkids and will do some more shopping at the beginning of December.  I'll be putting the tree up and a few decorations on December 1st.  Just need to figure out where the tree is going.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Here's 2 new digi layouts

I'm participating in an online crop that one of the mb's I frequent is having.   I decided to do the layouts in digital since I'm in a traditional scrapbooking slump.

This first one is of our DS when is was a baby and today.  He is an amazing man and father!!


Kit is by Simplette, Just For The Boys
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This layout is of our grand-daughter, June.  Our daughter {an awesome Mommy!} took this photo after she dressed June up for the ride to take June's brother, Jordan to school.  She's fascinated by her booties.

Kit is by Design House Digital-I did adjust the color on everything to match the pink booties.

New traditional lo's

Here are some new lo's I created in the last couple of days..  I've been wanting to do Project Life but really don't have the money to buy the kit so I decided to take the first Project Life Kit I bought apart to use for the 2013 year.  {red PL}  I had on a couple months done on the original pl and never finished it because we were having money difficulties and couldn't afford to get my photos printed nor afford any ink.  So it is easier to just scrap those photos and start over.  These lo's contain those photos..

2 new lo's

Here's 2 new traditional lo's I created for a crop this last week.

 Watching Larry & Kaleb laughing and having a good time watching T.V. is something I love to do and document. I'm right by them laughing at the T.V. and at the enjoyment they were experiencing that day with each other.
