Circle Journal Page

I have had so much fun with this whole circle journal thing. I love looking at all the pages that other people have made!! This has been my favorite topic though!! I love this book. It was so hard choosing what to put on my pages. I stuffed it with as much fun as I could. There is still so much I could have added though.

Scrap Whispers - Challenge 47

This was hard!! These ingredient challenges are always a doosie for me. I kind of messed up on the journalling tag. I rather misunderstood it until I read it over on the blog. Yikes!! You can't do anything with me I guess.

Sarah's Challenge:

This week we have a very specific challenge for you, set by Sarah from our Design Team! You have to use the following "ingredients" on a layout:

1 piece of 12x12 cardstock
1 piece of 5x7 patterned paper
1 piece of 3x9 patterned paper
1 piece of 8x8 patterned paper (all the patterned paper has to be different)
1 single journalling tag
letter stickers (any kind or style)
5 flowers
ribbon

Here is my LO:

I can't stand the way lumpy 12X12 LO's stitch together. :-( I wish I knew how to get rid of that shadow.

Scrap Whispers - Challenge 46

This weeks challenge was brought to you by Helen:

Have a little reminisce about your childhood, or maybe your teen years. Is there something - a place, a person, an activity, a TV programme, a piece of music - that really brings it all back? It could be a park or playground you went to, an item of clothing you coveted for months and nagged your parents to buy for you, a film that really caught your imagination...

BUT it must be something you don't actually have a photo of! Find a photo online, cut up a magazine, use a pic of your kids doing something similar and create a comparison. If none of the above appeals to you, don't use a photo at all.

The journaling's important for this one, so make sure you add something about your memory - it can be hidden if you'd prefer.

Shew! That was a fun project!! It was the picture part that knocked me for a loop. I had no idea it was going to be so hard to find a photo of a blue jean vintage record player. lol I'm tickled with the one and only picture I did manage to find though!! lol

Here is my LO:

Scrapped ALL day!!

I am so spoiled. I feel like it right now anyway. lol I took the day off work and went and spent the whole entire day with Hilary at Southern Gardenia. OK, so I was there from 11-8, less about an hour and a half to get the girls from school and take them home...and I still only got 4 pages scrapped. Hil., she worked on invitations, unloaded some boxes of scrap stuff, loafered around the store and watched TV for a while and she still got 7 pages done. :-( She makes me feel so unbelievable slow!!!

So proud and excited!

Chris will kill me for posting this picture. (hehe) I just don't care, I am so proud. This is from Tuesday at their Northeast Georgia Marching Exhibition. She just loves band and that makes me so happy. I'm glad she is busy with something.

They got some really great and exciting news Tuesday! The Franklin County Marching Pride was recommended by the governor, Sonny Purdue, to represent Georgia in the 2010 annual Independence Day Parade in Washington D.C. How exciting is that?!?! My baby is going to be marching in front of the White House in front of hundreds of thousands of people. I'm just welling with pride I am so proud of her.

We just went and met with our pastor, Chris about Taylor getting baptized. Of course I cried. Taylor told me I embarrassed her. :-( I just can't help myself. When it come to matters of faith I am a blubbering fool. I am proud of her. It will be a few months before they have another baptism, they haven't scheduled an exact date. Taylor was upset about that. She said she is too excited to wait that long. She wants everyone to know she has Christ in her heart.

A cute little 6X6 mini album I just made! Fun!!! I love the colors. I wish I had been able to take some good pictures of it. I have LOST the stupid charger to my camera battery. Can you believe that? I can't even remember where I last charge the battery at. I am loosing my mind. I must be. :( I found another one on ebay for $15. I guess it could be worse. I hate being disappointed in myself.

Good Day! I hope everyone is having a nice Patriots Day. Don't forget to take a minute or two to remember all those treasured lives that where lost on 9/11. It's hard to imagine that it was 8 years ago. I remember the grief and shock I felt that morning like it was yesterday. My prayers are with all those families that lost so much that day.

Thanks for visiting my blog this morning for another Scrap Whispers Blog Hop. We are showcasing the very talented Rosey. (Red Squirrel) She is our Whisper Member of the Month!

I had fun lifting her LO. I love lifting lifts of lifts. I lifted her version of Nilsa's sketch we did in the last round of Scrap Whispers! It was so hard to pick just one thing to lift. Her cards are fabulous! She is an awesome stamper. I'm in awe.

Here is Rosey's LO...isn't that picture amazing? Gorgeous!





Here is my LO! Wow, I changed it a lot, but the sketch is still there...I focused on the fun layers, the scallops, the fibers, I kept the polka dots but I had to leave out the flowers...my version is already busy enough! lol
