I'm almost OUT

...of scrapbook deadline insanity!!

Almost.

I still have an end of the month report to do and send something to try to be published.

(now you know why I've been missing in action....I had 3 deadlines to meet!)

And I have to drive to Oklahoma for my dad's surgery tomorrow.

Trying to finish up laundry.

Pack the kids. Pack myself.

Pack my scrapbook stuff for deadline while I am gone.

Remember everything I am supposed to remember.

Logan's baby turtle just died. Gotta go deal with that.

Crap.

Some recent scrappin' stuff!!!

So...yesterday was May 1st, otherwise known as MAY DAY.
The tradition of May Day is to fill a basket full of flowers and then deliver them to the door of your neighbor. But, the fun part is, you hang the basket, ring the bell and RUN!!!
(and the fun part is to not get caught!!)

So, I made a few May Day Baskets...one traditional and one whimsical....(or dare I say, cute?!...right WWPDT girls?!?) Ha ha ha!

(sorry, inside joke...right, Kim?!)


Don't you wish you were my neighbor!?!? Ha ha!!


And in the Spirit of Spring....here's another little project.
Now, I know the actual "First Day of Spring" was several weeks ago...but you have to remember we are just now seeing blooming trees and the first flowers of the season here in Kansas.
(shoot...it snowed 2 weeks ago!!!)

I'm in California....

...and I forgot to tell you I was going.

Lots to say.

But, will have to do it when I get home.

Miss ya guys!

Some Scrapalicious cards to start the weekend!!

Can you tell who's ready for Spring?!?!!?

(made from WorldWin DoubleMates! I just love this stuff. It's got two colors, one on each side of the paper. This particular paper is called Morning Mist. And it has a white on one side and black on the reverse side. That's why the ripped part looks so cool!!!!!)

(FYI: Did you know that if you wet the DoubleMates paper, you can
actually peel the two colored sheets apart?!?!)


I was obviously in a girly mood, because when I looked at the Stampin' UP! tab punch, I realized that it really looked like a purse. (and I've looked at this punch a jillion times before and never noticed that) Anyway, I decided to make a purse and cut the strap from matching cardstock. This card is made from WorldWin Cascata. This paper is like cashmere and I love it!! This purple is so rich and divine!!!!!

Yep, definately in a girly mood! My stepmom gave me this Stampin' Up! striped pattern paper. So, I started with it and started pulling colors from it! She had the EK Success scallop punch, so I decided to try to punch my own scalloped papers. Not bad for a first try!!! I love how these Prima's coordinated perfectly with the paper. And the rub-on is TLC, generously given to my by my girl, Tammy! And again, I used WorldWin Cascata! If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you find some!!!
It's so worth it!!!!!

And after all that girly goodness, this mother of 3 boys decided to do a card that was primary colors and could be given to one of my boys! I'd been hoarding these bling stars and decide to pull them out. Some WorldWin Ruche and DoubleMates made this card perfect!!! I stamped the background and sentiment with SU stamps/ink.

Hope you enjoy these ideas and they inspire you to make something fun this weekend!

I'm OFF......

I'll be in touch!! :D
Leave me a note...............
