The Scrap Room Full Reveal (May 2012)

Oh man, has it been busy, busy around here! It seems like everything we do is involved around baseball 24/7...but my boys are having a great time and learning a lot, so that's what it's really all about. :)

Even with all the craziness going on, I was able to sit down with my May kit from The Scrap Room and bust out some layouts and cards:

As you can see, I was even able to go back into my ever-growing pile of photos and scrap some baby pictures of my youngest. It feels good to finally get those in an album!

Here's to busy schedules, baseball, and squeezing in scrappy time whenever you can! ;) Thanks for looking.

Ask and You Shall Receive

Eeeeeeeeeeeeek! So remember this post from the other day? The one where I talked about the Silhouette Cameo and how badly I wanted one?!!

Well, my dear friend Krissy had the older version of the Silhouette (Silhouette SD) and offered to sell it to me for a fraction of its original cost!! How could I say no, right??? So, my "new" Silhouette should be here on Monday or so. How fun is that?!?!

I am soooo excited and can't wait to create with it! I've got so many ideas. The first thing I want to do is create some heat transfers onto onesies. Need to buy the heat transfer kit, though. Anyone know of some good online stores that carry Silhouette products?

So, just had to share my excitement...and expect to see lots of new projects from me in the near future. hehehehe (and THANK YOU, Kris!)

A Little Home Decor Project

I don't know how, but I managed to get a little home improvement and home decor project done this past weekend! I took on our hallway and completely repainted it...so it feels good to have that done. Next, I created some wall decor using some wooden plaques, ribbon, and scrapbook paper. Got the idea from Pinterest. Check it out:

I like the way it turned out, and I have a friend who has asked me to make her one just like it that says, "Love." So, that's next on my to-do list. :) It's a great way to use up some leftover scraps of paper! Thanks for taking a look.

iWant

Ohhhhhhhh, the things I would create with this bad boy:

That's the Silhouette Cameo. I want it. More than any other scrapbooking/crafting tool I've ever wanted before. One day, it will be mine. It will.

That is all.

Baseball Season Has Begun!

Ah, how I love springtime! A time of refreshing, a time of warmer temperatures and more being outside, a time of.....BASEBALL! This year, for the first year ever, BOTH of my little guys are in Little League. Aaron has been dragged to every practice and has watched his big brother play in every one of his games for going on 5 seasons now. He has patiently (okay, maybe not-so-patiently) watched and longed to get out on that field himself one day and be a part of a team. That day happened today. :) My little guy had his first t-ball practice for HIS team today, and he couldn't have been more excited!

Aaron will be playing on the Phillies, with my hubby being his coach. We have a great group of little guys on the team...even one that I got to teach in my first preschool class. So cute!

Evan will be playing on the Angels. This boy is CAHH-RAZZZZY about baseball. He has baseball cards ALL over every room in the house, we redid his whole room in baseball stuff for Christmas, and he knows the stats of every player better than anyone I've ever known. He loves it...eats it up. His 2 best friends from his homeroom at school are on his team this year, and he is thrilled about that.

So...needless to say, baseball season is in full effect in this household. We've been watching our Texas Rangers play in the Spring Training games, and we are ready to go to a game!

And speaking of baseball...I have GOT to get some of last season's pics scrapped and into albums! Or I may just make another mini photobook like I did one year through Shutterfly. Hmmmm....decisions, decisions.

I do know, however, that I desperately want the new Jillibean Soup Game Day Chili kit!

I plan on buying this and using up every single bit of it. With 2 boys in baseball now, it shouldn't be hard to do!

March TSR Full Reveal!

Howdy! Hope everyone is starting off the week well. I taught preschool this morning. Nerves are a bit fried from that. LOL!

Have you had a chance to check out the March kits from The Scrap Room yet? I tell ya what...that Tammy knows how to pick out paper lines and embellishments and keep her kit subscribers happy! She always has the latest and greatest products. :)

Here are my projects using the March kit:

And while you're at it, be sure and check out my latest blog post for TSR's blog. I shared some home decor items I've recently made using kit leftovers. ;) Thanks for taking a look!

March TSR Sneak Peek!

Hello people!
Wow...haven't blogged since January. Shame on me! Looks like I lost a blog follower, too. :( Life has been busy, to say the least, but good! After the whirlwind ups and downs from the last 2 years from my husband's job issues, we are finally stepping into something that we think is long-term and beneficial for our family. He started a new job yesterday with an oil/gas company here in town (no more driving out of town for work, yay!!), and he is really picking it up quickly and doing great with it so far. Since he's working back in our town, that means we get our lunch dates back too. Yay!! And, he get BENEFITS at his new job, which is something he hasn't had in the last 3 jobs he's had...so good stuff. Lots of prayers have been answered. :)

Moving on....

I haven't scrapped much lately, but I did manage to bust open the March 2012 monthly kit from The Scrap Room, and boy is it lovely! I am currently finishing up my last assignment (a 2-pager!) using this kit, but I have a "sneak peek" for you all today. My sneak peek layout features Little Yellow Bicycle's "Paradise" collection:

These pictures are of my little Aaron and his preschool Easter party last year. I just love Easter pics. :) Plus, Easter is one of the only times I can get away with using pink on my boys' pages. hehehe

Thanks for stopping by!
