24 Hr Challenge LO for Scrappin-n-Chatttin

Sketch to go by

My LO

I participated in this 24 Hr Challenge Friday night. It started at 9PM and ended Saturday at 9PM. I did mine Friday night and was done by 11:30. We had to choose what type of paper we wanted to use first, well 3 different collections. Someone else looked at the names of those collections and there were 3 sketches to choose from as well. Sue chose this paper and the sketch above for me to use. I still haven't seen the LO that I chose for the girl I chose for. Yahoo is having photo sharing issues! Anyway, the baby in the pics is Thomas, my cousin Erin's firstborn. The banner is a ribbon tapestry that I didn't mean for it be in a "W" shape, I was trying to mimic the pennant banner on the sketch. I'm not good with stitching on my LOs and don't  have a triangular punch, so that's why I decided to use the tapestry. The little circle in the left hand corner above the pics is a turtle with the word "sweet" over it that I cut out from a piece of 12 x 12 paper. The journaling at the bottom says, "He didn't know me & was more interested in his toys & his Nini!" Nini is his grandma, my aunt. That's what he calls her. He's now 3 & will be 4 in October. The sticker to the left of the journaling tag was under the teddy bear on a sticker sheet. It says "hugs & snuggles". My aunt is in the pic in the yellow sweatshirt, but you can't really see her. The journaling tag is a sticker and I typed the journaling out on the computer. It's a lot neater than my handwriting! I had fun doing this LO! TFL!

My Take on Sketch for Sassy Little Sketches

I made this LO for Sassy Little Sketches. The Sketch (1st pic) is what I had to go by, I changed it up just a little. The little brown rectangle block in top right corner is a rub-on that says "let the good times roll" and the vellum quote is "if children grew up according to early indications, we should have nothing but geniuses."-Goethe. I put the quote on there because of the doll leaning up against the car. I believe I went to the Car Show in the fall with my parents, but don't remember the exact date. The green circle on the right between the cars is a flower sticker. TFL!

Cards I Made Today

There was a Card Challenge on Scrapbook Challenges this week and I decided to tackle it this afternoon! I made all 4 with 8 1/2 x 11 paper, transparent sheets, brads, and stickers. I have lots more 8 1/2 x 11 paper and don't plan on using it in my scrappin, so I may be making more cards! I love my XACTO cutter and used it on all 4 cards! It only took me a couple hours to make these cards. I was watching TV and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 while making them! I won't have to worry about making 2 birthday cards now! :) I love making cards anyway! TFL!

Finished August Challenge for Scrappin-n-Chattin!!

2nd Attempt at 123 LOJournaling Strips LOOut of the Box LO

I had to do the 123 LO over again, because it was supposed to be 1 flower, 2 photos, and 3 ribbons. I had 3 photos on the other LO! I've been wanting to scrap the little pics of Tyler and decided to use journaling strips with them for this month's challenge. The gold oval has "Live, Love, Laugh" on it. You can't read it because of the flash. On the Out of the Box LO, I stitched the word "Navy" on the 2nd page near the bottom right corner above the red journaling block. You can't really see it. I've never done any stitching on my LOs and have decided if I do any again I will do it on another sheet and attach it to the LO. I poked too many holes in the paper trying to follow my markings plus I kept poking my finger with the needle! Not cool!! I've also never done a LO to recognize my dad's time in the Navy. The pics I used are pics of when he was out to sea on the USS Hunley and then coming back home on the USS Holland.

I'm not going to have the Makeover Party today after all. The consultant fell last Friday night and has hairline fractures in her right shoulder and hand. She can't drive due to vomitting and dizziness. For those of you that pray, please pray for her. She's a military mom of 5 kids. Her name is Heather.

My tooth isn't bothering me that much anymore. Every once in awhile I have a twinge in my right ear from the nerve. I just took the last dose of penicillin and the swelling has gone down tremendously! I need to go to the dentist whenever I find a job to have the tooth pulled. Please pray that I find a job soon!
