CPS cards...

Before I show you cards...
My sweet Madison is at it again... she was at gymnastics tonight working on her backhandspring (cheer tryouts are coming up and she wanted to get it before tryouts... uugh)... anywho.. she finally got the nerve to do it on her own.. did a few of them and then on the third one.. came down wrong... hours later in the ER... she broke her elbow! :( We go see the ortho surgeon in Brownwood tomorrow and should know more then... good gracious the hits keep coming!.. that means she is out of basketball for the rest of the seaon and then not sure how Region Band tryouts will go  or even if she can this Friday (she made 2nd chair last year... percussion)... so.. guess I'll find out more tomorrow... neverending I swear around here!! Please keep my sweet girl in your prayers for a quick recovery!

ok.. onto the cards... I haven't been uploading my CPS cards so I thought I'd bombard you with them now :) They are in no particular order... cause I'm super organized like that and all.... haha

Bedford Falls...

Hey all!
Well I am FINALLY (mostly, sorta) moved into the new place!! It is smaller than where we were but it's MINE!! I will post pictures soon... :)

I mentioned that I have started back up with Noel Mignon and my first month was this one... and I got to use the amazing FULL Bedford Falls kit! This bad boy was jammed full of goodness... I think there may still be more in the store so hop on over and grab one!!
Here is my layout I did for the Challenge Blog... our challenge was to scrap "A Gift from the Past"... I chose to pull out some of these older pictures of my baby Matthew. For this Chistmas Matthew's favorite movie was "Spirit" and so he was all into horses this year... it was so much fun to see him open up all the gifts that year with such joy on his face for each one!
Here's the layout:

Thank for stopping by! :)

Moving...

Thought I'd jump in real quick to let ya'll know I am in the process of moving... VERY excited to get into a new house! It's much smaller than what we are in now but it's new and it's MINE... so I'm a bit giddy.. anywho I am MIA right now not because I have once neglected my blog... don't laugh...but because I'm in transition! :)

Will update soon...
Thanks for stopping by!

I have been so busy I haven't been able to really play over at Color Combos Galore Blog... but now that I have some days at home I can! So excited to get back into the swing of things... check out this YUMMY color combo... I love the deep rich colors!! join us this week and play along!!

 and here is my take on the challenge:

Supplies: Core'dinations cardstock (pleated and embossed), American Crafts ribbon, October Afternoon patterned paper and sticker, Hero Arts stamp, Storage Unit Ink, Martha Stewart punch, Cuttlbebug embossing folder, Queen & Co jewel, ribbon and pins from craft supply.

Well I now have all the kids signed up for basketball... seriously have NO idea how I'm gonna work this season with all of them playing! Madi and Mitchell play on the same nights (seperate places, one home one away), then Morgan plays on the opposite 2 nights, church on Wednesday... THEN the twins will have practice probably 2 nights a week squeezed in there, games on Sat. and church Sunday....

Follow me? That makes for NINE days a week...

 what? what's that you say there are only SEVEN days in a week?

 yeah... I know...

Anywho... hope ya'll have a great weekend! I'll be back to share more cards next week! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello there!

Just got home from my sons first basketball game... they played SO well!! (and won!)... Madison had her first game out of town and I had to miss it because I still have not figured out how to split myself in two and be in two places at the same time... damn it :(
I did get a lovely text from my friend with a picture of Madi who is now sporting a fresh new black eye, apparantly given on a layup during the game... this should be sweet colors in the next several days! lol

Then I have some fun news to share... I was asked to return to the awesome Noel Mignon design team!! So excited to get started this month.... THIS is what I get to play with.... check out this beauty! :)

Jillibean Soup Goodness...

Yes I know... it's been forever AGAIN since I've blogged! With cheer/footbal season finally over I am hoping that I can try and get back on some sort of regular schedule with blogging and hell just scrapping in general! I have felt so overwhelmed and off my game it's crazy!

But then again now it's basketball season and I will have ALL FIVE kids playing this year... joy... so I will be running in all different directions but at least I will have my days to catch up on work and such since there isn't pep rally preperations to work on! yeah!!

Up first is my layout I did from this years homecoming pep rally! I attempted to make a "mum" using the Jillibean ribbon, corrugated shapes, and journaling spots! whatcha think?

 
Next up I took this photo over the summer of Matthew and his best friend Jesse and I knew when I saw this Monster Stew collection from Jillibean Soup that I was going to do a page on these two monsters! His mom and I tease that we will have to work in shifts when they get older to keep them in line!

Next up is a couple cards I put togehter with the new Jillibean Soup collection!

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Zva Creative October DT Blog Hop!

It's time again for the Zva Designers to join together to share a project that we have created using some of our favorite Zva Creative. I am hoping that you will take some time to join us for a little bit of fun again this month!


The Blog Hop begins at Kim Hughes' blog:. She will have the complete list of all blogs that are participating in case there is a glitch along the way. If you would like to play along, I am linking to one of the Zva designers and that designer is linking to the next and so on. Be prepared to be inspired along the way. Hidden on 5 of the blogs is a Zva Creative prize package ...YAY! Those blogs will be randomly chosen after the hop is over, so it's important to leave a comment on as many blogs as you can along the way.

The Blog Hop starts now and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, Oct. 26th and the 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, October 27th on each of the five winning blogs. The full list will be found on Kim Hughes‘s blog as well (linked above). We will do our best to notify each winner, but it's best if you can pop in to all of the blogs once again on Wednesday...plus, you never know what kind of inspirational creation that you may find there. All you need to do is leave a comment on this Zva Blog Hop post...you do not need to leave a comment on each and every designer's blog post to qualify. The more times you leave a comment along the blog hop path though, the more chances you will have to be one of the lucky winners.
