Today is my very creative, very talented, very cool friend Liz 's birthday. Here is to hoping that you get very spoiled and that you get all that you wish for. Enjoy YOUR day! You deserve it!
The LO was based on this sketch. Love this:
Also played around with a little more Basic Grey. This time it was with the Granola line. Love the earthy look of this line. I had this great pic of Bryant looking so serious and I just had to scrap it:
So all in all, I got a lot accomplished. I also started a new project this past week. That would be re-doing Bryant's room into a 'big boy' room. That is still a work in progress. I hope to post pics soon. Now I need to get some sleep. Here's to a great week! :-) 
Something OLD: that would be the silly photo of my son. It was taken a couple of years ago and I have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to scrap it. :-)
Something NEW: that would be the way I used the old rickety fence punch as a border around the picture. I just saw this technique used in the new issue of BHG Scrapbooks, etc. Loved this idea! :-)
Something BORROWED: that would be the idea for my LO from the LO below. This was a page I had ripped out and saved from an old issue of BHG Scrapbooks, etc. Love this magazine!! :-)
Something BLUE: that would be my favorite color, which I used a lot of on this LO!!! :-)
This is a really unique challenge. Come play along. LaVerne has a phenominal RAK for one lucky winner. No joke. You definately will want to check this out!! You can check it out here: BASB
I also wanted to share this LO:
I am always looking for fun, useful and unique ways to scrap my photos. This is a challenge that Davinie hosts every month on her blog. It is bascically to scrap about the prior month. A great way to use and display your 'project 365' photos. She also does a random prize drawing for all who play along. Very fun indeed!
So if you're looking for some fun challenges or maybe a little mojo, then definately check these challenges out. You'll be glad that you did!! :-)
Steve's parents and grandparents grew up in the Lincoln/Woodstock area. So usually we site see a little around town, to see how much has changed. Though this is not anyone in his familys' house, it is right around the corner from where his Mom grew up. The rainbow house. Yes it does stick out like a sore thumb:
Then we we headed to some of the 'main street' shops. Steve found this very cool 'old man on the mountain' and had to have it. It now hangs outside above our porch:
We can not forget the candy store. This little 'hole in the wall' has some of the best homemade goodies: 
Behind the stores is the Pemigewasset river It runs all through the towns:
This sign may look funny, but not so funny if you are cruising down the highway and a moose comes running out of the woods:
Next we we went to the highest elevation point and checked out the view:
Nature at it's best. This pic does not do it any justice:
Me and Bryant:
Steve and Bryant. He soooo wants Bryant to see this and enjoy it:
Then we went to the gorge and checked out another area of the river:
Bryant loved the 'rock climbing' and fast water. It was very cool:
This was a beautiful view from the bridge above:
One last close up view:
It was a great day! Lots of walking. Lots of sight seeing. Lots of history. It was beautiful out. Once it gets a little warmer, we will head up for some trail climbing. Nature at its finest. Have a great week! 
I already had most of the items in the kit already, so I made one for myself this past January:
I could not post it til now:
I wanted Stacy to be surprised.
She loves it I can not wait to see what she does with hers!
Look what I got from Stacy!! Isn't it beautiful!!!
I LOVE this bracelet! It is all about the 'footprints' poem. Do you remember that one. Everyone I know had it hanging in their house when I was growing up. I have had a lot of recent personal tragedies in my life and this sentiment means alot to me. To know that Stacy is there for me, no matter how far away, no matter what. That is what best friends do. This is an everyday reminder, though I do not need one. Thanks Stacy!!
He was especially excited about the Star Wars Clone Trooper helmet full of Easter eggs:
He loved his new Sponge Bob shower soap and toothbrush (a yearly tradition):
He even got a special basket from Daddy:
Lots of cool stuff in there:
Mom even got a basket from Daddy:
Lots of cool Red Sox baseball stuff in there. Tis the season:
Then off to Grammy and Grampy's house. It seems that the Easter Bunny left him a little something there too:
More cool stuff! This kid raked:
After a nice dinner with family, we finished off the afternoon by coloring eggs. They came out beautiful (if I do say so myself):
I hope everyone had a nice Easter. Spring is just about here...enjoy the rest of your week!
Happy Birthday girl! Celebrate! Enjoy YOUR day! Eat lots of cake & icecream!
This sketch challenge was on the Studio Calico blog. I saw lots of cool takes on this sketch. I actually flipped the sketch on its side. I got to use some more of my favorite October Afternoon paper and finally scrapped this photo of Bryant meeting Tim Holtz a little over a year ago:
and....speaking of Studio Calico. This came yesterday. The Peter Piper add on kit. Yes, I said add on. I did not get the main kit this this month, but I could not walk away from this 'boyish kit'. How cool right??!!
So...lots more creations are in store. My new Scarlet Lime kit will be here tomorrow. I can not wait! It is so pretty! Easter in a few days. Lots more photo ops and lots of family time. Should be fun. Enjoy your weekend. Spend some time being creative if you can. :-)
