New Blog Design

I went to Leelou blogs and changed my blog design!:)

Summer Goals

So... I have 2 goals for the Summer... Complete the July Showtime challenge (one a day for the month) on FTS and the 52 sketch challenge from IASST  that is on this blog.  I really need to catch up on making scrapbook pages for my kids.  Their albums are really behind!  Goal for tomorrow is to take pics of what I've completed so far and post here to keep a record of what I've accomplished (or not..):)  Now for some much needed 4th of July family time!

I Won!

I also belong to a group called Friends that Scrap.  They had a sketch challenge for the month of July.  They chose mine for the front cover of the site which you can see here....

Altered Mouse Traps

Those ladies from IASST really got me out of my comfort zone!  I (reluctantly) joined this swap to alter a mouse trap.  There are some great ideas on the web.  Can't wait to see what I get back!

Here is what I came up with...they turned out better than I expected!

Here are some links (the hostess provided) to some other ones and I also have some pics my pinterest board!

More pieces I've made!

Here are some more swap pieces that I have done for IASST! They are looking for members if you would like to join!

Spring Title swap - again can't get them to turn!  If anyone knows a way....

Ice Cream swap - I made the title

Easter Bunny Poem swap ~ I made 2 pages to go with my parts of the poem.  We will all get back 6x6 pages with the full poem back...can' wait!

Tag title swap ~ we  each did one letter from the title and we will get back full titles!  Can't wait to get these back from such creative ladies!! (Sorry, again, can't get the pic to turn...)

Cards, cards, cards!

I made some cards at the beginning of the month and I'm just getting around to posting them now! I made these for a swap for the IASST (it's A scrapbook Swap Thing)

Sorry, can"t get this one to turn!

Winter Swaps

      I've really fallen behind on my blogging efforts!  Anyway, now that i Have figured out a way to get my pics off my ipad on to the computer (and how to upload them!) I should be good to go! 
      So...this winter, I worked on swap pieces for a group I belong to called IASST (It's a Scrapbook Swap Thing)  Here are some pics of what I got back (months ago...).  I can't wait to use them on my pages!
