May The Force Be With You

The boys are big time into Star Wars. So of course that is what they wanted to be for Halloween. The hardest part was deciding who would be who. I bribed Austin by buying him a red lightsaber, so he immediately agreed to be Darth Vader. Autumn was happy to go with the flow, so for at least one more year we were able to do themed costumes. I used a sketch from a new site I found Sketchy Thursdays. This sketch was a little out of my norm but I really enjoyed doing it.

Surfer Girl

I'm in the mist of lots and lots of beach photos. It really is making me long for some warm weather. Our weather around here has been way below normal and I'm not enjoying it. If it's going to be freezing out we should at least get some snow, but alas no snow :(

This is Autumn attempting to lay on a kick board while the waves were hitting her down in Galveston this past summer. It was not going well, but she didn't give up. I created this LO for this weeks Scrap Whispers Challenge. I'm not big on color challenges and found this one even harder since I don't use purple to often.

The Scrappiest sketch

I really loved the sketch this past week over at the scrappiest blog. I've been saving this Bo Bunny paper knowing how great it would work out for my Halloween photos. The colors are so bright they match our fabulous fall weather here in TX.

Happy New Year

I've been neglecting my blog, but it's a new year and time to start anew! As with keeping up with my blog I'm also setting myself a goal of a page a day. There is no way I can actually do a page a day, but I'm aiming for a total of 365 LO's to try to stay on top of my mounting picture load. I certainly have enough pictures for that, especially since we just got back from Disney a month ago. I'm at 6 Lo's now and putting quite a dent in my halloween photos, so lets keep it up. This should be eiasier to achieve than the exercise goals I usually set for myself :)

Think Pink Crop

An exciting weekend is ahead. Memorable Seasons is hosting a Think Pink Crop along with Scrapbooking stores accross the nation to celebrate Breast Cancer awareness, so come join us for some fun. I'll be hosting one of the challenges. This is my LO for the challenge but you'll have to stop by to find out what the challenge actually is.

What a fun month of scrapping August was. I got so much done during My Sketch Worlds ABC crop. I think I was able to do 16 of the challenges. I had ideas for more, but alas not the time. My kids may be the inspiration for my work but they are also the ones that take the time away from it. Good thing I love them so much :) These were just a few of the LO's I got done.

Any color will do!

At first glance this LO would look like it belonged to a Halloween page with the bright orange and green colors, but it is Easter. Don't let holiday colors limit you. My boys certainly don't wear many pastels that would normally go along with Easter. In these photos they were hunting eggs through the woods in their play clothes and these papers seems to fit so well for the colors and motions of the photos!
