A LO and a new toy.

Sketch #16 at 52 sketches (blinkie in the margins)

Here in Ohio many flowers had already bloomed when we got our final (hopefully) snow fall of the year. Like the insane scrapbooker I am... we postponed breakfast and walked down to "crazy flower lady's house" to take a few pictures first thing. Papers from are Pink Paisley Pop Fashion line, Bazzil Swiss dots, and DCWV Metal stack.

This thing is the coolest.  Got the hookup at Yand M photo in Boardman this weekend with Beth.  What does it do, you might ask?  It allows the white balance in my new camera to do it's thing.  It measures the light in the room and makes adjustments by shooting through it.

It made taking the late night picture of my latest LO much easier.  I probably over paid for it, but honestly got so much really useful advice that I still felt it was a bargain.  

 II love this LO, inspired by a challenge at "scrap the boys"  I love it!!!

Punk is cool

I can't wait to make a page.

Scrappy Thursday Report

First up is Andrew's Birthday.  The LO is from a sketch on the scrappiest, they are having a DT call with this sketch. I love the sketch, it ended with a LO which I think has a wonderful layered look.  The birthday paper is Target $1.00 isle stuff, the circle is Bazzil African flower die cut.  Andrew had a blast at his party.  I was shocked that he wore that silly hat most of the time.  

Page 2 to the birthday LO.  BASB challenged me to use only cardstock, stamps, and pictures.  Dang I couldn't stamp straight...LOL  I tried to make it look like I did it on purpose, but you now know the truth.  I cut the bowling pins out of white cardstock and stamped the stripes on, likewise the bowling ball is black cardstock. 

This LO uses Sketch #46 at Creative Scrappers , it also serves the purpose of Scrapjazz's use a TV show name as a title.  I was going to use Law and Order as Erik was explaining to Andrew that he needed to settle down, but then Cindy cut Family out for Mary and I wanted to use the negative to make a mask... and so it happened.  I think Family Guy is a much nicer title anyhow.  I'm totally loving this BG Periphery pack so much... 

I used some more of it.  Yummo.  Have you ever used up an entire line of paper and thought to yourself you'd like to get some more?  I fear I will feel that way when Periphery is gone.  This LO is a Julie Bonner 52 sketch LO.  Check the blinkie on the right for a link.

April (snow) showers and flowers

My good friend Beth said I should take pictures of snow on flowers today... idea in head... off to take pictures before breakfast.  The boys said it was cold and time to go home twice on the way to "crazy flower lady's" house... but they were happy enough to pose once there.

As bummed as I was to have snow this morning they were thrilled to put on their snow clothes and go for a walk... that is until they got cold... which happens much faster in spring than mid winter.
