A new month

Hello ladies, long time no blog!
Well let me start off by saying that I wanted to use a new template for my blog,
So Sharon was kind enough to tell me where I could go and so I did, but when I
chose the perfect template I noticed that my blogs that I enjoy section was not showing
so I decided to stop messing around and go back to my original template. Guess what
happened, it erased all my blogs that I enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I almost died, I was able to find some but not all of them and yes, I am still crying ;-{

Anyhow, yesterday I decided that I am going to do more arts and craft as well as baking
with Angejolie since she really enjoys scrapping with Mommy and baking cakes.
Here is a canvas that she painted with my Acrylic Paint Dabbers by Ranger.
At first we were only going to paint but then we decided to put some pictures and what
goes best with pictures? Papers... I found these left over papers that my girl La Verne
sent me a while back and actually matched with the paint she had chosen. Check it out






And here she is hard at work, I love that look of concentration that she gets when cutting or trimming.



Well that is all I have for now.
I hope you like what you see. Have a great night.

The number 3

One day in March of 2007 Angejolie said to me
"Mommy, do you know that you are 33 years old, I am 3 years old and Solimar is 3 months old?
And sure enough we were. We all had the number 3 in our age on the 3'rd month of the year, which happens to be the month Roger and I got married, we actually got married on Friday the 13'th of 1998.

True story.... 4 months after we met we knew we were each others SOUL MATES and decided we wanted to get married right away. I think it was on a Wednesday, that same day he asked my dad for my hand in marriage, boy oh boy! You should have seen my parents faces, for a second they thought pregers????? but NO that was not the case, we just wanted to get married. Did I mention that the number 13 is my lucky number?

Anyhow, this week I found the picture I had my husband take of us that day, you see... as soon as Angejolie said that to me, I knew I would want to scrap about it because what 3 year old says something like that? And I am not exaggerating, she is a smart cookie and pays close attention to everything, small and big. So here is my layout





By the way, the number 3 always reminds me of The Father, The Son and the Holly Ghost and that is why it is such an important number.

I hope this week treats you well. Have a great night.

LSS Where are you?

My post today is all about me being pi$$ed about the fact that yet another local scrapbook store
has closed it's doors. What the heck is GOENS OOON? I had this LSS which was under 10 minutes from my house and it is now gone, then there was another one which was 15 minutes away and they will be gone this week. Do NOT get me wrong, I love Scrapbook Central but they are 40, YES ladies... 40 miles from my house and need I remind you that I drive a NOT so sexy mini van which kicks my @$$ when it comes time to fill it up with gas. I guess I can always shop online but they kick my @$$ with their ridiculous shipping charges. So at the end of the day, I am screwed, either way I have to pay for gas or shipping fees ;{

Anyhow, I did this layout about my infamous road trip to Lakeland.
I trip that you would think would make me NEVER EVER do it again, but no.
We will be going back up in 2 or 3 weeks.







The papers is by K & Company, basically here I used nothing but paint.
I painted my letters, the edges of the paper, the heart with the swirls, the spot where
I journalled etc..... I am becoming more and more comfortable with thinking outside the box. I give this credit to my girl La Verne, it all started with the April Studio Calico kit she suggested I get which came with the scary deer from Sassafra papers.

Ok, I spoke enough, have a great night ;D

Sketch 102

It seems like for ever since I last posted something :-O

Ever since Wednesday night I have been feeling dizzy, a lot pf pressure in the eyes,
freaking head aches from hell and more dizzynes. It's like a bad college hang over minus
the alcohol. So because of that my weekend with my partner in crime did not get so daring.
How ever my cousin and I made the best of it and we will make up for it on our next trip to Lakeland this coming October ;D

So here is a layout that I did using the Sketch 102 layout from http://www.pencillines.com/



I had so much fun doing it, my head was killing me as well as my eyes but there are few things I can not live without, that is seeing our girls & husband and scrapbooking. No matter how bad things get they make it better and so that scrapping. Well that is all I have for now. I hope your week is going great.

I am a proud wife

Guess whose husband got picked for the "Stop domestic abuse" billboard with the Broward County Sheriff Office?







YEP! My handsome husband.
I could not be prouder.
So if you live in Broward County and are driving and see that billboard, that's my husband ;D
I am SO sorry for being ghetto in regards to the way I covered the other deputies faces but I did not know if I could show their faces and since my husband is at work I figured I would play it safe.

See how there is a mom sitting on the floor?
Well that is how I feel almost every day with my tormentor Solimar ;-D
She is 1 year and 9 months and everything has to be her way or it's melt down time.
I really can NOT wait for the day to come when she is no longer doing it that because I am ready to go banana's. Do not get me wrong she is such a loving little girl but man she has a temper. Must be that Sagittarius in her LOL.

Anyhow ladies, thank the Lord tomorrow is Friday and I am off to pick up my BESTEST cousin and her kids from the airport. Let's see what she dares me to do this time.
Have a great night.

Finally

Our girls 2007 Halloween book is done.
Like I said before, it would have taken me NO time to do it
had it not been that I had to do everything myself, from the ghosts, hunted house, etc
to the scalloped 1/2 circles, I did it all .
I distressed, painted, name it and I am so happy that I did, I know one day the girls will be so happy they have these treasures to share with their kids.
So prepare yourselves for lots of pictures.


This is the front and it is the only page I can not finish. I have no idea as to what to put on it.
Any suggestion is welcome ;-)




Not too happy with these 2 pages but it will have to do until 1 day I am so aggravated by them that I will fix it.




This picture is hidden behind the top picture.


These 2 little hunted houses were my fave to make, I love the way they compliment the pictures.


This page is missing a title or something, HELP!


As is this one.


Here I used stikles for the moon and the bats.

Ok Ok, I know I said the book was done, which it is, all its missing is the journaling.I hope you like it.

Now that this book is done I leave you with this picture of Angejolie, sometimes I wonder what she is thinking when she puts an outfit together, but she thought she was all that and a bag of chips and so did I.

Have a great night!

Halloween

IS AH KNOCKING AT MY DOOR!

I bought the new Yellow Little Bicycle Frightful papers and the little hunted house album so that I can use it for this Halloween and then I remembered that I have yet to have done last years books for the girls. So I got to it last night and guess what? I can NOT find any of the embellies that go with the papers that I bought last years. So I am now stuck having to do them all myself. It is taking for freaking ever since I have to trace the witch, ghosts etc.... on paper and then redo it on chip board to give it some dimension.
Here are some pictures of what I have done so far


Here is a close up of the cat so that you can see that I was NOT kidding when I said I had to rig things.


I learned this technique of scratching the pictures on SISTV, so you can so that I am going crazy with it on ALLLLL of the pictures LOL. Did I mention tht this web took an eternity to cut and then I decided to paint it white so that I cut put some glitter on it and that is why all the picture look glittery ;D





I still need to journal and add a few more touches to the pages I have done so far but I am happy with the bit that I have done so far. I know, I should be ashamed that I am just now starting this but better late than never.

Have a great night.
