Two For Today...
I got this idea from a card I saw on 2 Peas. Lal pointed it out to me today and I remembered I had it "bookmarked". The background paper is Creative Imaginations, the polka dot paper is Bo Bunny Front Porch and the black paper behind the heart is Foof A La. I also used a Jenni Bowlin "bingo card" and journaling sticker. I stamped an Autumn Leaves flourish and then hand cut it out, The heart is Cricut cut; George cart, Prima Daisy, Junkitz button and gingham ribbon. Also used my Technique Tuesday stamps for the "stitching".

I finally got around to using some of the papers in my Wild Asparagus paper pad I got at HL. I am loving those papers:) Other things used: BG flourish rubon, Lil' Davis Crillion stamp, Lil' Davis chipboard alphas, Prima Sprites and Isabella, Paper Studio cardstock alpha stickers, some lace, some buttons and some brads I got in the Target Dollar Spot.

I'm on a Lifting Roll:)
This one was inspired by a LO on 2Peas. The green background paper and the big dot paper are Basic Grey Color Me Silly. The orange and pink polka dot pp is MME Everyday Tango...Doodlebug Simply Sweet cardstock alpha stickers and Birthday cardstock stickers, Paper Studio cardstock alpha stickers, 7 Gypsies journaling card, Lasting Impressions chipboard stars, Autumn Leaves flourish stamp, Studio G star cluster stamp.

Two New Ones...
This next one is a pic of Victoria last year. We bought her this Cinderella dress up costume for Christmas. Here she was dancing with Steve in the kitchen...too cute:) Finally got around to scrapping this. I did the pic in sepia. This is also a lift off of 2 Peas. Paper is MME Bohemian. I used my Lil' Davis crillion stamp set to make the "design" in the upper left corner; stamped on MME Bohemian solid paper and then cut it out. I think the pp with the music notes is Lil' Davis, chipboard swirl is Fancy Pants Big Chipboard, chipboard letters are Lil' Davis, rubons are MM-white Heidi , pearl brads by Marcella by Kay and a piece of lace I got from Dana on our private site. I dry brushed with a light blue paint and then used my Autumn Leaves journaling stamps. The journaling is part of the lyrics to a song by Lee Ann Womack called "I Hope You Dance".
So I actually used quite a few things from my stash that I'd had for a while; the paper for one, the chipboard letters, the pearl brads and the Fancy Pants swirl. Another good thing...using up some of my stash:)

After the Long Weekend
We have another wet morning. We have been getting so much rain; at least more than we are used to.
I spent Saturday over at my mom's and my cousin went by with his wife and their new baby. He is so tiny and the cutest thing ever. I had seriously been getting the baby urge and couldn't wait to see him and hold him...I think I have it worse now:(
I hadn't seen my cousin in a while. He is in El Paso going to school for the border patrol. He will be done in October. He was just home for the long weekend and to see the baby cause he wasn't home for the birth:(
Sunday I went by Michael's to use my 50% off coupon and as I was leaving the store I checked in the "cage" at the front with the Sizzix dies. Last week they had alpha sets marked down to $40. Well, they were marked down to $9!!! I picked up the upper and lower case Doodleblock that I had been wanting forever:)
Yesterday I went by a different one and picked up Ransom for $9 as well. I wasn't able to find the Fun Serif I saw last week so I am going to try to hit the last one I didn't get to and see if they have anything left.
Went by 911 and picked up the Rusty Pickle Mayflower and Pirate Princess papers. Can't wait to use them.
I am in the process of planning Victoria's bday party for this weekend. There is a party place on Bandera/Guilbeau; next to Scrapbook Heaven. They offer a Rock Star make over party theme; perfect for the Hannah Montana theme Victoria wanted:) It's $15 per child so I have to call today and make sure we can get in for Sunday.
Well, I've got lots of catching up on housework and laundry to do today after the three days off. Hopefully I'll get some scrapping time later today. I still have not been able to install my new pritner software:( I think I'm going to have to get someone to come look at the computer to get it on.

Back To School
The notebook paper is Karen Foster and the white "letter" paper is KI...Bazzill Edge and textured cardstock, Heidi Swapp bookplate and chipboard alphas in black and ledger. I used my first Bigz die for the arrow and the button is Doodlebug. Oh, that strip of striped pp is Karen Foster as well; last years school line:)
On Monday Victoria lost a tooth and the Tooth Fairy totally forgot to pick it up. So she put it under her pillow again and wouldn't you know it...She forgot AGAIN!!! ...(boy did I have some guilt:()
Last night while brushing her teeth her other loose tooth came out as well. She has a tendency to lose her teeth in pairs:) So she got to put TWO teeth under her pillow and the Tooth Fairy FINALLY came and left a whopping $20 for being so late to pick up the first tooth. She was REALLY excited about that this morning:)

These Days...
Went next door to the Dollar Tree and picked up some of those foam thickers and stitched rubons for a friend of mine up in Michigan;)
Think that pretty much sums up what I've been up to. Hopefully get some scrapping done with all this new stuff I have bought:)

More LOs from Crop Night
I found this one on sb.com. Someon posted premade LOs they were selling on ebay. I finally used some of my MME Magnolia. I find it so hard to use that pad. These are pics of my son last year at the coast on his boogie board.
New LO
I used Lil' Davis chipboard letters, Doodlebug blooms and some Rusty Pickle buttons. Not sure who makes the little flower button though. I cut my silhouette hearts using my Cricut and some MM glitter adhesive paper I got at 911 a while back. The "coaster" stamp is Autumn Leaves and the notebook paper is Paper Studio.
I went by HL yesterday to get some textured cardstock and I found all sorts of new Spare Parts goodies; canisters of silk blooms, all sorts of shaped and gem brads, clock faces...lots worth checking out. I hope they are on sale next week:)

Let's Celebrate
So today I ran some errands solo. This was my first time since I became an official licensed driver other than the few times to the neighborhood pool. I ran to Walmart to return a couple of things and pick up some bottled water and a new filter for the turtle tank and a couple of things we needed for the house. Then I ran by Big Lots and Dollar Tree. Didn't really get much there. Then it was back home. Other than missing my turn and having to go a little further down and a different way, it was a successful trip:)

License to Drive
As I sat there watching the others go ahead of me, only one girl got the parallel parking. No one else did it and one guy messed up real bad. I felt really bad for him.
So my turn came up. Thank God, I got this really nice deputy to drive with me. He was very warm and friendly and that made me feel so much more comfortable. The other deputy looked like a real meanie:(
So I nailed my parallel parking and the rest of the test went real well. I passed!!! So I am now officially a licensed driver!!! :)
I would just like to thank all of my friends and family who have been so encouraging and supportive throughout my "learning process". I couldn't have done it alone and I am forever grateful:) So "THANKS":)

Send me prayers and good wishes, PUUULLLEEEEASEEE
From the front of the line to the back: Karen, Sharon, Michelle, me, Lal, Shirley and Melissa. One of Sharon's friends also scrapped with us and my sis' niece, but they didn't get in the pic:(
OK...here's one of the LOs from Saturday night that I DID complete. I lifted this idea from the last issue of Memory Makers. The second I saw the LO, I knew I had to lift it. I love the Creative Imaginations scalloped edged papers. Other papers I used here were Daisy D's and MME. The hearts are HS chipboard and some Sizzix cut that I painted with my MM paint. The arrow rubon is Daisy D's.This is another lift from that same issue of Memory Makers. I used all Elsie papers, some gems, an AC metal tile, a QuicKutz die cut purse and a chipboard heart I made myself:) Also a MAMBI bling crown and Doodlebug Simply Sweet cardstock alpha stickers.
This is a lift from Kelly Goree on sb.com...I can't recall her exact name on sb...Mamato3princes. I LOVE the Elsie fabric paper and the whimsical look of this LO. The title is from the Dr. Suess book as is the quote from the book at the bottom of the LO. Also used textured cardstock, some chipboard buttons I made myself:), Doodlebug Simply Sweet cardstock alpha stickers, some random buttons and a the plane is from those stitched rubons I found at the DT last week:)

Rain, Rain and More Rain
These look just like the AC Foam Thickers. I wish they had the chipboard ones at DT:)

What Happened to Monday??? Where is Monday???
Anyway, I went down Bandera to the HL off Huebner...bought a pack of paper with my coupon and picked up an application.
As much as I hate to say this cause it makes me feel like a total traitor, I drove down Bandera to Scrapbook Heaven. Picked up a sheet of Elsie fabric paper for crop night and an application. I would LOVE to work at 911, but it's a little out of my way. This location is just alot more convenient. Anyway...I am standing at the counter while the woman is ringing me up (she was a bit confused as to what the price of the paper was...I could have told her. I pretty much know how much everything sb related costs;)...So anyway, I'm standing there and I look down into this little ceramic pot thingie on the counter and there they were!!! Signo pens!!! I almost screamed...seriously. I even gasped out loud...LOL...the lady asked if I was OK...LOL...I was like, "OMG!!! I have been looking for this pen FOREVER!!! So I picked up two. There was only one left and she said that was it...no more in stock. I might pick it up today when I go drop off my application;) I am sure Lal wants one.
So after the sb store, I went across the parking lot to the Dollar Tree. Picked up a few things in there that I hadn't intended on buying. They had some really cool stitched rubons and foam alphas like the AC Thickers. Oh, and these metal tile thigies...also AC. Picked up an application there too. The girl who rang me up said she had JUST started working there and not to get discouraged if they didn't call right away. She said they'd probably call me by the time school starts up again:)
So after that, I drove to the DMV to practice my parallel again. I really need to be nailing every single one. It has to be just perfect...I wish I wasn't such a perfectionist. I just really want to do well. I am taking my test this week and I am freakin' out a bit. I need someone to talk me back down:)
Looks like rain again today. I have to admit, I kind of like the rain better than the horrible heat we had this past Sunday...Whew, it was HOT!!! The only time I dislike the rain is when I have to drive...LOL

It's Friday!!!...Who cares???!!!
all the way to Scrapbook 911...from Babcock to Huebner to Bitters to Blanco:)
to Fiesta Texas to pick up my stepson
to my inlaws to pick up the kids; over by the Jefferson area
I have been driving alot more and alot more often. I am getting more comfortable with the whole thing. I am anticipating getting my license next week.
On my trip to 911, I picked up the new Basic Grey Infuse. I LOVE that paper!!! I have a tendency to "collect" the BG and not use it. I have yet to open my Phoebe or Perhaps. I did however open my Scarlet Letter for a "special" project I am working on:) Only certain things are good enough for BG;)
Not much else going on around here. Still trying to find a job:( Hopefully I'll be able to find one by the time the kids go back to school or not long after.
