A Peek In My Week

I finished up a project from one of my CKC Mesa Classes which was called "A Peek Into My Week" It was a mini album for a week in your life. The class was taught by Elizabeth Kartchner, Creating Keepsakes Scrapbooker of the Year from a year or two ago. The mini was pretty easy to put together. I worked on it a bit in class and then finished it up after having a week documented and pictures printed out. I added some extra ribbon, doodling to finish it off.

A few weeks ago I carried around a camera and jotted down some notes to get a slice of life type of week. I picked a normal week on purpose. The only unusual thing was we were extra busy with Color Me Daisy that week due to a last minute advertising change which moved up our May kit release so it would be available when the ad dropped.





















Definitely a fun little project I am glad I did. I am doing the 365 project which is fun to document our daily happenings, but the Peek in My Week was purely from my perspective. I will enjoy looking back at it, even today when I was copying the journaling from my index cards to the mini book it was funny how many minute things in a day you just forget.

Try it sometime.

Say What

Nicholas has been chatting up a storm and there are some words and phrases he says that are just so sweet. I may be biased but I think he has the sweetest voice ever. So to make sure I remember these things I made this layout based on a Pagemaps sketch using mostly BG Offbeat with some American Crafts thickers.

Journaling says: These are my favorite things you say: bubbles, bye-bye, more, purple, ma-me, okay, Ha (Hi)!!, night night, cookies, Nicholas, Yes, oh-oh. All said in your sweet voice.

More LOAD's

I have been having so much fun scrapping with the May Color Me Daisy Happiness kit. I have been using it up finishing my Layout of the Day challenges. I have made 10 layouts, 3 cards and 2 gift bags from this kit, and I still have stuff left for a banner and card or two.

Here are a few layouts I did with this kit in the past 2 weeks:

I love this one

I hunted around tonight for the pictures for Mara's challenge today over at the Be Happy Online Crop at Color Me Daisy. I knew which pictures I wanted, but I couldn't find one of them. I ended up cropping a 5x7 down to fit in with the other 2 pictures.

So here is my LOAD - Grandmothers. I used some Basic Grey Urban Prairie papers and buttons I have been dying to use.

Just a little something to share

Just a quick LO I made tonight for the LOAD challenge I have been working on. I have kept up at 13 layouts so far this month. I owed my mom this one of her with Jackson. So here it is using the Color Me Daisy April kit, featuring the Lily Bee Design French Couture papers.

"Me & U"

Time to share

I have been busy lately. Working a lot, busy with Color Me Daisy, keeping up with the boys and all that fun stuff. I have been doing LOAD (Layout a Day) with Lain Ehmann over at Scraphappy. Basically you do a layout everyday in the month of May. I have kept up so far, so as of tonight I have 12 layouts done in May. It has forced me to be focused and not get too caught up in a layout. It's great to spend an hour or so each night doing something just for me.

So here are a few of the layouts I have done over the past couple of weeks. Most of them are using May Color Me Daisy kits:

Our 'Lil Piggy - Happiness May Main Kit and Websters Pages Alpha Add On


Be Still My Heart - Pink Paislee Captivating Mini Kit using Got Sketch sketch #82

She's So Tweet - Happiness Main Kit and Webster's Pages Alpha Add On

Say Cheese - May Pink Paislee Fetching Mini Kit

"Hat" - My new favorite line from Basic Grey is now out Lime Rickey. I just got a nice big box of happy mail yesterday with a whole bunch of this line. I think it is going to be great for boy, summer, park and kid pages. I love these birds, they are so stinkin' cute.

Nicholas won't wear hats, but after a walk one day he took Mike's hat from him and started putting it on his head and shouting "hat". I bought him a new hat today and he seems to like it. So hopefully we can get him to wear one outside now, since it is getting hot again.

A Little Pink Paislee

I have been having so much fun with the Color Me Daisy kits this month. Since I am doing the LOAD (Layout of the Day) challenge in May I have been scrapping at least a page a day since Friday. I have been keeping them simple, and loving having all these kits to work with. I finally broke out the Captivating kit tonight and made this LO from Easter with my Mom and Nicholas.

I have lots more to share just need a few more minutes to do it.
