Totally a slacker.

So i've been scrapping like crazy and i just haven't posted here in ages... i have SEVERAL overdue posts on the way, but I thought i'd post this one really quick. its Monday's challenge from the Apron Strings blog It is using my April Smaller than a Breadbox kit, which is awesome, and i've gotten tons of layouts out of, but this particular page kit had me stumped. BUT, when i looked at the pics i captured of Chloe in her clown hat weilding a portion of our kitchen mop, gallavanting all over the culdesac with her posse, the other kvenvolden kids, i knew these papers would be PERFECT. This layout also features homemade lace flowers made by me, i just took lace ribbon, made a running stitch, pulled tight and sewed on a button.

Guest DT! Memorable Seasons

Ok, so i was SO stinking excited to get chosen as the guest design team member at Memorable seasons! i'll post the layout that I used as the submission, but first a little about Memorable Seasons. Jill Coody is the owner, and she is just the sweetest, kindest person. And what's more- her sales are A*M*A*Z*I*N*G. Seriously. here's a LINK It is a big store, so I find it helpful to follow this pattern when i shop there. First, i check the newly arrived section, checking each day carefully. Some are brand new items, and others are new to the store items that are marked down BIG TIME. Next i check the "May Bon Voyage" or whatever is the month. Then i check "Weekly Sales" Then i try to not spend all our grocery money :-) Anyway, check it out! and if you do place an order, please tell Jill that Rebecca sent you!

My week in the life album!!!!

in case you've been living under a ROCK (or at least aren't involved in online scrapbooking boards :-) you would know that Ali Edwards has started the phenomena of the week in the life album. I was hesitant to start, but it came together beautifully and FAST. I assembled the whole thing in one afternoon/evening!! I got Ideas from Ali's blog and also from the All Sam's Idea blog
