Crowned Competition is back at Scrapdango!

Dot & Whimsy Reveal

If you're looking for something fun and different to scrap with then you should try this crepe paper fringe from Dot & Whimsy.  It quickly adds a touch of fun to any project.  I was fortunate enough to be able work with the egg hunt fringe.  The name alone suggests Easter so I thought, hey why fight it!  And let me just say, you're never to old to dye eggs.  lol.

Thank you Shellye at Dot & Whimsy for sponsoring us over at Cookin' Up Creations this month!!!

April is sketch month over at CUC!!!

Come join us for the 2nd annual sketch month over at Cookin' Up Creations.  The entire month of April the CUC Challenge Team will inspire you with some great challenges based on some of their favorite sketches.

So what are you waiting for?  Get those supplies ready and head on over to Cookin' Up Creations to get your scrap on!

Finally Friday!

TGIF!!!  It's been a productive week for me.  I've updated my poor old neglected blog TWICE and I managed to complete not one, not two, but THREE layouts this week!!!  And anyone that knows me knows what a major accomplishment that is.  Now I won't mention all the housework that got neglected this week or the mountain of laundry that is waiting on me but hey, even us girls need a break from the same old shit......you know what I mean.......dishes, laundry, vacuuming!  If we didn't get a little creative therapy we would go mad.  So here's what I got done this week.

An 8x8 circle layout using Pink Paislee.

12x12 of my favorite now 22 yr. old kid.....I can say favorite since I only have the one.  lol.

And you'll have to wait to see the last one cuz I'm saving it for an upcoming challenge over at CUC but I will leave you with a couple of pics I snapped last night of my two girls.

Here's Mae, Mae, Maddy or Maybelline depending on who's calling her.

And my sweet little angel, Lulu.

Thanks for looking......hope you enjoy your weekend!
