Nook Projects!

It's been another crazy week here at the Moreno household! :)
Monday- I work... Matt soccer practice, Mitchell cross country, Madison band practice
Tuesday- Vball games, Madison sectionals
Wednesday- Madison bball practice, Mitchell cross country meet (usually church nite)
Thursday- Mitchell travel out of town, Madison cheer for 2 games in town
Friday- Pep Rally, Madison travels with band for out of town game with band.
Tomorrow- Madison UIL band competition.... TIME OFF!!!
Sunday- church and Madison competition cheer for 3 hours...

eeek!!! That is exactly why this blog does not get updated as often as I would like! and that's not too bad of a week really.... next week baseketball starts and all five kids are playing and competition cheer season starts and then the boys will be in playoffs and Madison cheers there too... good stuff!

SO if I'm not here updating my blog... know that I am at least thinking about updating it... almost the same thing, right? ;)

Here are a few Scrapbook Nook projects I've been working on... I have a few more I will share soon...
for now.. here ya go! :)

First is a fun layout... A local photographer- Traci Hernandez-  wanted some "trash the dress" photos and asked Madison if she was interested, which of course she jumped right on! She had a blast and took loads of pictures... these in the layout are just a few on the layout... (Everything from the October Scrapbook Nook kit!)

Here are a few more of my favorite shots from the trash the dress.... she got lots of other great shots I'm sure you will see show up on layouts in the future! :)
this was before the dress went into the lake....

then after...

check out the tongue on this one...lol

Now for a few cards I've made with the October Scrapbook Nook kit...

Thanks for stopping by! :)

some sharing...

Thought I'd jump in real quick and share some projects I've done lately... :)

First up are a few that I have done for PSA Essentials...

First up is my oldest son Morgan... this is him running track last year... he was the only freshman that was brought up to run Varsity track this year... he runs long distance... for sure something he gets from his dad because I was always a sprinter! LOl

Next is just a sweet layout about Makenna and her little friend Kendall... this was from last summer when the older three went on their mission trip and the twins each brought a friend and we went bowling. I tell ya I would rather take a group of teens than this age... they are SO funny and the girls and boys are always trying to outdo themselves and totally be "cool" around each other... they kept me on my toes for sure!

Then here are some CPS cards I always seem to forget to upload! LOL

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Nook projects!!

Well I ordered the September kit from Scrapbook Nook even though I wasn't due to start till the beginning of October and what a stinkin' cute kit it was!!!
Here are a few things I created with it:

This weekend is the big (I use that term very lightly... big.. ha!) Ripfest Parade and such so I've been busy painting signs for the cheer float and such... always something! So tomorrow I get there early to blow up balloons and get the float set up and decorated... hurry to find a spot in front of the courthouse where they will stop and cheer and then tear it down and get ready to head over for Madison's first band competition in Breckenridge! Sunday is filled with church, Madisons cheer, Morgans baseball games and Madison has powder puff practice (<------ that should be interesting)! LOL

Have a great weekend everyone!

Thanks for stopping by!

Wahooo!!!

Well Homecoming is FINALLY over... I think I made around 45 mums this year (and had to turn down orders towards the end)... I really was expecting maybe 25 or so when I put the word out so I was a bit overwhelmed.... will try to not let that happen next year for sure... try and be more prepared!! LOL

Here are a couple shots of the kids at Homecoming... sorry I'm too lazy to work the PS magic and stuff with them... hehe...

Here's one of the twins... who are looking quite rough... this was at the end of the game (notice Matthew's red painted hair? lol)... both of them had "dates" this year... and I use that term loosely... more like a "hey I think your cute so um... wanna go to homecoming as friends and exchange mums?"... they are in 4th grade... eeek!

 Then here's Mitchell and his girlfriend of almost a year, Halle. I made both of their mums this year... that was fun to do! (Can't see his garter on his arm... look down at Grandles to get an idea of how is was)

 Then there's these two... My daughter Madison and her boyfriend of almost 2 years now... this was after the Homecoming game! Madison was so excited because JV cheer got to cheer for Homecoming night, she had a blast!! :)

  And then this one... probably my favorite picture of the night... Madison and her 3 best friends... these are just the best set of girls ever! Love them!! :)

Are you wondering where Morgan is in all this? Yeah well he's almost 16 now and would rather be strung up by his toenails then wear a mum or let me take a picture of him at homecoming! lol

Now for a few crafty things... here are some recent cards for CPS!

I'm hoping this weekend to actually be able to sit down and CRAFT!!! *shocker*... I have all the mum crap cleared away and picked up and now I"m ready to get back to the paper and glue!!

Some fun news... I was invited to join the My Scrapbook Nook design team!!! These kits look AWESOME and I'm waiting for my Sept. kit I ordered so I can get started playing over there.... hope ya'll join me and check it out!!

One more thing.... over at PSA Essentials they are having a giveaway!!!

Mum World...

Yeah that's currently where I am living right now...

Here in the Great State of Texas ;) we do Homecoming up right!!

How do we do it up right you ask?

with one of these suckers....

and then a few of these suckers (the boys wear these)...

I made a handfull last year and decided this year I would actually put myself out there and make them this year... so I started taking orders and I've done pretty well so far! I'm hoping for a good handful of last minute orders to come pouring in! :)

so if you don't see me for a bit... yeah it's cause I'm covered in ribbon, trinkets, and bells!

Homecoming is Sept 9th.... I'll try to uncover myself to check in before then though! ;)

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Check it out...

I was asked to be a guest designer over at Creative Charms this month... here are a few projects I whipped up using their super fun embellishments! :)

First up is a layout about my oldest daughter and her accomplishments in band this year... she seriously rocks at drums...She was first chair all year, made region band with a broken elbow (remember she is a percussionist), was section leader and then won the top honor given to a band student (just one given out).... I'd say she had a pretty kick butt year! :) so i just wanted to do a quick page to document that!

and a close up shot of the oh so fun embellishments....

Then here is another quick card that uses that cute little crocheted embellishment as the focal point!
