Happy Thanksgiving!

Boy, has this been a rough year financially for my family, but as Thanksgiving comes this year I am ever grateful and Thankful for all the support and love from my family and friends. My family, my boys {my heart} and my husband. They are truly the reason I try so hard. My friends old and new (yes you Jessica!) who is a scrapbook buddy that I adore! I am also Thankful to them and for them. God has graced my life with many blessings and to him I owe my ultimate thanks because without him nothing is possible! I love you guys!!! Now back to scrapbooking, lol...Here is sketch 46 from Julie bonner, My son gave me this little toy and I had to take a picture of it because it was so funny and sweet! TFL!

Wow 2 layouts!

So I actually had time to do some serious scrapbooking this weekend. I used sketches from Julie Bonner at http://www.52sketches52weeks.com/ you should really check it out! The first is sketch 44, this was perfect for the photo I had of my son at his Chef school. The second layout is of my youngest, believe it or not these are cell phone pictures and I love them. I used sketch 45 for that one. Last but not least I made a card for a very old and dear friend that just found out her eggo was preggo so it was a perfect excuse to make a cute card. :) TFL!

Saturday fun!

Embossed with Cuttlebug folder and die cut is sizzix. Flourishes cut with cricut

Flowers are from Oriental Trading Co. Cricut cut letters.

Here are a couple new projects. The layout is from a sketch at http://www.52sketches52weeks.com/ from a couple of weeks ago but I'm just now getting to upload it here. The card I made today made with black cardstock and pretty flowers. I added some hand stitching too which takes me a long time because well. I admit it, I don't sew! Lol..you think I would since my my is a quilter. Nope got Dad's genes I like paper, pens and paint. :) I love the way colors pop of black. No wonder it's one of my favorite non colors...:)

Can't wait

So, I can't wait to make scrapbook pages out of these pictures. Halloween was fun and tiring. My son got his first patch from The Young Chef's Academy! Yay Trey! Shane was so excited to go get candy and was so brave it surprised me. I thought he might be a little scared being 2 and all but he thought the everything was funny! That's my boy! All in all, a fun day!
