TGIF- and my latest Sketch!

This week in my area has been cold and wet! But today the sun shinning, there's a nice subtle breeze blowing, and best of all TGIF! Thank goodness it's FRIDAY! I've been sketching all week at work during quiet time, but haven't had time to do any LOs until last night. So here it is: Sketch 7

Here's my take on the sketch: A LO of my oldest daughter. For her 10th birthday she wanted a Nintendo DSI. They run $170. I thought in my infinite wisdom that if I gave her the actual cash she'd see how much it cost and realize she could do a lot more with the money instead of buying just one thing. Check out the LO to see if my diabolical plan worked:

 Yup she rushed right out and to get the DSI! I was disappointed but she was extremely happy!

I used all My Little Shoebox papere products on this LO. I also used my other two favorite applications *STICKLES* and *GLOSSY ACCENTS* and Bling by Recollections.

Giggly Girls

My daughters almost constantly keep me laughing. THey are so very silly and I love that about them. This winter during our huge snow storm, they got to go out an dplay in th snow several times. I noticed how after they would come in their little cheeks would be bright pink! I had to take pictures of them. While I was trying to get the shots Ryene said something to Erynn that started the giggle fest! They could hardly stop laughing.
The papers used in this LO are Me & My BIG Ideas- Sassy Collection from Joanns. I liked it because the colors were so bright and fun and I'd always stayed away from these types of colors. But an artist I admire over on SB.com inspired me to go ahead and give it a go.

Question: Have you ever been working on a LO and started adding the embellishments and COULDN'T STOP? That's what happened to me on this one. LOL TFL!

Here is a close up of the pictures, so you can see those cheeks and butterflies. You can hardly tell from the picutres but the butterflies have Glossy Accents on them. ::I love the stuff::

Blog Love

So thanks to my featured sketch and all th blog love over on the Kreatorville Kraft blog, I also got some blog love from Allison on her blog Stampin' When I Can, we are litsed in the "Newly Discovered" section. So exciting to be discovered!!

On Scrapbook.com there is a challege to scrap an object. I debated for a couple of days and there were many objects I could have scrap..I mean my computer is practically my life line, I DONT leave the house without my coffee mug, absolutely can't do w/o my iPhone, any single scrapbook tool, LOVE LOVE LOVE my Honda and all her 120,000 sum miles. But I choose an object that recently became part of the this list.  This is an object I've resisted for a few years now and finally I gave in to the CROC CRAZE!

See, I work with children at a daycare and we cannot wear open toed shoe but I can't stand tennis shoes and socks! I suffered through it last spring/summer but not this year. After only a day of wear, I am in loooooove with my Crocs! Oh, and I fianlly got a to use the BoBunny Mamma-Razzi line.

The flower on the top and the brownish rose are both handmade.

There is a tutorial for the brownish rose in my archives.   

I used All of the hearts are covered in glossy accents-GREAT STUFF

a must have in your scrapbook supplies alon with BLING and stickes!

Journaling Reads: Although I still think these are some of the ugliest shoes. They are so comfortable to work in. My feet are so gladI gave in!

TFL!
