Yay! I scrapped!

We have been in Texas almost a month now and things have been pretty rough. We are staying at a Fisher House and today a woman came in to teach everyone how to scrapbook so I asked Kevin if I could go scrap for a bit and he was ok with it. It wasn't long, believe me, but I did get a quick layout done. And here it is...

7 Gypsies Printer's Tray

I fell in love with this thing the very first time I saw one all decorated. I finally picked one up at Scrapbook.com and I rushed to get it done last night for my parent's anniversary. I did plan to make it more creative, but there just wasn't time. I want to get a couple more for myself, so maybe next time it will be a little more detailed.

What fun though. And it's the first 'project' I have ever completed.

Believe it or not...

I did two more layouts since yesterday. I have been under a lot of stress lately and it's the only time I can forget for a few minutes so I am running to my scraproom as often as possible. Anyway, here they are:

This first one is Breezy, Kevin and I at the Alamo this past summer.


And this next one just cracks me up. Kevin and I went to some drive through safari in Texas a few months ago and this ostrich came running over to the car. Kevin - being the drama queen that he is - acted like it was going to kill him and started screaming bloody murder. It was just such a hilarious moment!


My family sure is crazy, huh?

A Couple More

Kristy, one of the DT members over at ScrapMuse, turned me on to Sketchy Thursdays and I fell in love with this sketch:


And here is my take on it:



This is Dolly from over at Busch Gardens in Tampa, FL. She is a very friendly giraffe, lol.

This next layout is of my nephew Michael. He took this photo a while ago and actually sent it to Kevin when we were in the hospital:



I just noticed the "H" in "what" is crooked so I will have to fix that, lol.

And I think I am going to take a short, little nap now. Maybe when I get up I can scrap some more.

Well...It's about time...

It has been a while since I was able to scrap. With Kevin being sick and my dad being in the hospital (not to mention all of the family members staying with us), there just wasn't time to scrap.

But, I did get to last night! Yippee!!! Here is the layout I designed:



Can I just say that I ADORE Prima flowers? Lucky for me I have quite the collection from over the years, lol.

Just a couple more!

I am feeling so good about all the scrapping I am accomplishing so far. I am roughly 3-4 weeks ahead of my goal and I intend to stay ahead for those times when something is up with Kevin and I can't scrap. So here are the latest two:

This first one is Kevin and Mathew. Kevin has this tendency to plop down on people's laps and it's just hilarious!


And this one is Breezy walking down the path at the Japanese Tea Garden. I have so many photos of us there and I bet everyone is getting sick of them, lol.



I really just love the size of the photo on this one. And I so love the pink paper from My Mind's Eye.

A Wild Safari Adventure!

This is a photo of my buddy Levi from this past summer. He came to stay for a week and we went to Busch Gardens one day. We had so much fun!



I picked up some grass at Michael's and thought it would add a nice 'jungle' touch. I also used a set from Jolees, which is something I rarely do. I just thought it added that cute safari look.
