Twisted Sketches #47

Anam has another great sketch up at Twisted Sketches! This week the twist is "clean". This instantly made me think of the boys room actually being clean for once! I have been doing alot of work, I repainted the bedroom and I had fun painting their "circa 1960's" dressers. I end up going with never fail boy colors! Thanks for stopping bye, sorry If I haven't visited everyone's blog lately. I have been so busy getting the house cleaned up, the for sale sign is in our yard. Now I just keep praying for a buyer!

PageMaps Contest

Here is my take on the Sketch Contest over at PageMaps. It was a great sketch as usual! I loved working with my new kit from Transparent Touches. It is a awesome kit, perfect for my boys! I loved the colors and all the embellishments rocked! Thanks for stopping by!

Twisted Sketches #45

Another great sketch up over at Twisted Sketches!
The Twist is "Laugh". When I seen this picture, I knew it was perfect, this makes us laugh all the time! Trent has such a huge belly, and he loves showing it to us....can you tell? We tell him he looks like he ate a basketball. One day he said he named his belly Drummy.....I thought because it rhymed with tummy, but then he started pounding on it and said "see, it's my drum".....clever!

Back Porch Memories

I can finally reveal more of my layouts I have done with the Back Porch Memories kit this month! It was a awesome kit, and I am so appreciative that I was picked to Guest Design this month! Surprisingly I have been in all of the layouts...when does that happen? It did lean a little more to the girly side, so I guess It was time to get in the layouts! It was a nice change of pace to work with some more feminine colors, but I have to tell ya, I struggle with flowers. I love the look of tons of flowers, but I tried hard to pull it off and I couldn't! Well thanks for stopping by & leaving comments! It makes my day!

Lovin this weather!

This Spring weather has me so excited and motivated. Surprisingly I thought winter went by very fast. I am still scrapping some summer/fall pictures....don't know whats up with that!

I just wanted to share a couple layouts. I had sent them in to Memory Makers but they didn't get picked up....so I can atleast show them  off here.

Hope everyone has a great week!
