words

wow!

i feeling pretty overwhelmed and loved right now! i was asked to be the guest designer for skissadilla, a norwegian sketch site, this week too...and my apologies to them for my getting my dates mixed up, resulting in my publishing this post late!!!

so i was asked to create a sketch and a LO for them as well!!! and the skissadilla girls did some pretty cool things with the sketch i designed!! so go check it out...there is also a little prize pkg up for grabs for playing along with my sketch courtesy of me for this week!!! so go check it out!!!

and of course...we can't forget about OLW!!! karla's choice in words this round...OPEN. at first i was totally stumped...really?? open?? what kind of word is that?? but you know?? it's an amazing word for of very positive things...and came up with my own little phrase to use on my layout....

quote by me reads: when you open your mind to the possibilities that exist-you are no longer dreaming but living your dreams. and when you live your dreams- you are open to life and all it has to offer you.

figured it was fitting for the accomplishments dakota made while at lethbridge for his bmx finals 2 weeks ago...but it is fitting for so many more things in life too....

what are you open to??

reclaimed green....it follows my passion for reclaimed goodness!! this is a mini album project kit and the mini album is handmade b me using all sorts of bits and pieces that are usually thrown out....wanna see it closer???
 

cute huh??? my kit has some other fun little goodies....some gasket tags and pressure dial labels! jay is awesome...comes across all manner of cool stuff in his job and being the good boy he is, ALWAYS asks me if i can use first before throwing it out!!! i think he is kind of floored that i can using plumbing things for scrapping, lol!!!

alright....i have been holding on some scrappy goodness...been kind lazy about taking photo's and whatnot. so this is what i have been doing over the last couple of weeks....

using the just cre8 may kit. then i dug into all my past kenner road kits and mixed it all up!!

want the story behind this LO??? of course you do...my husband LOVES to get a reaction out of people. the person he loves to most bug is me...go figure!!! about 5 years ago jay grew a goatee and i loved it. but then i love that rough 5 o'clock shadow thing on guys...yummy!!! BUT! every now and then jay gets it into his head to shave!!! and no it's not a nice clean up of the goatee kind of shave....sometimes he shaves clean...ugh!! sometimes he gets creative and shaves a new kind of moustache, goatee, etc. o yes! i have seen it all....including a porn stash!!! this time i got bad sideburns and the handlebar...he looks like someone named earl...dude!!! and all of this...just to get a reaction out of me...he thinks he's hilarious!!!

alright...i am off to do some laundry and scrap today!!! i might even get my bottom in gear and go for a walk to the park with miss d!!!
have a fabulous day everyone!
