I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.

Its stuck in my head, I am the Walrus that is. OK , so its Thursday night, woot woot! Thats a grand thing because then tomorrow is Friday and I'm gone for the weekend. So last night I did some print ordering over on CVS, I was able to go through all of my Photobucket images and send them off to get printed!!! I'm excited, I did something like 107 photos, come Saturday I will have them all in my hands, yippeee. Hmmmmm, why am I excited about this you ask?? Well I ran out of pictures(ones I find worth while) to work with and I'm at a stand still for a contest I'm working on. I have all these ideas in my head and no images to add to them. I will be packing up all supplies and staying in this weekend at Will's while moving smoothly along with my plans for creative goodness. hahaha. Pizza, movies, beer, scrap booking, right Will????

This month is just jam packed with things, I am a bit overwhelmed and feel like I will not be able to follow through with a bunch of them. What is up with April this year?? Can we have May please???

What else did I want to bring up??

Um, loving the Edamame beans, lover birds

showed up on my deck today, and sadly Ernie the fish passed away!

R.I.P Ernie.

Now off to watch the rest of L.A Ink, will she marry Orbie??

sweet!

Those would be the mangos sitting in the window to only get sweeter!!!
The weather has been great lately, I have been able to walk out to the mailbox with no jacket on or shoes either:) Even though that may not be such a great idea, I just cant help it.

I am entering a few contests so I wont be able to post toooo much on here along the lines of layouts. I will try to post some stuff I have made though, stuff I wont be entering. Damn guidelines!!! Well thats pretty much it for the moment. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Happy Belated Easters:)

Well I guess Spring has officially sprung!!! I couldnt be any happier and looking forward to spring now then I was in say December, because after Spring is Summer and Im heading off to California for two weeks!!!! Just had to get that out!

As for Easter it was spent with Will's family, I spent most of the time on their couch, falling asleep, yikes!! hahaha. Will got me a great Hello Kitty basket that was filled with some scrap booking items, candy and other odds and ends, it was pretty sweet. I of course bought him a Superman Basket filled with mostly candy and some of his collectibles.

Today I spent the day with the little girl I take care of, we went to see Horton Hears a Who(which was great) then manicures and then sushi and Starbucks, it was a pretty good day.

When I got home I started finishing up my newest layout which is for my sister. I used her wedding photo and the lyrics from her wedding song which was Jack Johnson's "Better together":

"There's no combination of wordsI could put on the back of a postcardNo song that I could singBut I can try for your heartOur dreams, and they are made out of real thingsLike a, shoebox of photographsWith sepiatone lovingLove is the answer,At least for most of the questions in my heartLike why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?It's not always easy andSometimes life can be deceivingI'll tell you one thing it's always better when we're together"

I did this one with the remaining items I have left in my RVK, as well as some other supplies I have sitting around.

I tried to keep this one a little simpler so that the words became the focus as well as the photo.

OK I'm off to watch my guilty cheesy pleasure.........................The Hills season premiere!!! oh boy!

Fiddeling around before the weekend

Played around with some stitching, doodling, painting, once again!!! I love the colors of this one, a little funkier and fun!!! This one is for Melissa!!!! So if your reading this, then you know:) Thanks for the Juno Soundtrack!!!!!!

Imagine.....................

I have finished yet another layout using ONCE AGAIN the fabulous RVK for March. I have no clue what I will do when I have used every piece in this kit, its addicting and so awesome. I guess I will just have to make do with what I have:) right Will???

This time I have used a Polaroid of the "Imagine" mosaic in Central Park's Strawberry Fields. I am an avid listener of the Beatles, absolutely hands down one of my favorite bands and I have much respect for the late John Lennon. "Imagine" is such a beautiful/ melancholy sort of song, it always brings a tear to my eye. When I visited the memorial last summer I felt just so at peace sitting there and reflecting while listening to people play the guitar or sing some Beatles songs. I love this place so much and I will make it a habit to visit more often seeing that we do only live about an hour away.

I took several images of the mosaic that day, these have to be my favorite Polaroids taken to date. It only seemed suitable that I make its very own layout for this one, now I will cherish it even more:)

For this LO I basically clenched my teeth and ripped up two pieces of the paper that came in the kit. I made of a sort of match work mosaic which I painted in between with some gesso and then some blue paint. Oh before laying down the pieces, I crumpled a piece of the lined paper and glued that down for my journaling. I then added some felt pen details(once again) and placed my picture where I felt it fit best, painted around the picture with some blue paint, and added some stars. Below the image I added another piece of ripped lined paper for the rest of my journaling or title. I hand stitched in yellow all the squares together, and I also added some flowers to the left with hand stitched stems. A few buttons, staples and softies and I was done. Phewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, excuse me, I'm:

1) not so good at describing it all

and

2) not so good at capturing it in my make shift photo studio in the bathroom:)(it has the best lighting) lol

OH before I forget, the journaling is from part of the "Imagine" song, and it says:

"Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do.

Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too.

Imagine all the people, living life in Peace"

Peace!!!!!!!

Im a human coffee pot:)

Yes I did say that:) My head is just brewing with ideas, one after another!!! Its just awesome, thank you, thank you. I have to say that alot of it has to do with all the wonderful blogs I read almost every day(they are located to the right, check them out) I tend to pull lots and lots of inspiration from each and everyone of those ladies. It seems that I have fallen upon a style that I enjoy the most, I started scrapping with the basic idea of scrapping until I realized that I can just let go. It was hard at first to rip beautiful pieces of paper and paint over things, but then it seemed only appropriate and it seemed to work. So that's about it for now, I just figured I would stop in and thank all of you for the great comments, they just motivate me and of course make me smile:)

All of you rock.

Aside from a sore throat I woke up with I am in the midst of working on another layout. I have been challenging myself to one a day. I love this newest one and cant wait to share it, hopefully by tonight.

OK I must get back to the messy painting details so I can work on the minor ones while attempting to hang out with a 9yr old and watch a movie!

Till later, have a fantastic day!!!!

P.S: The new sneak peek of the Red Velvet April Kit has me besides myself, I must have my very own, I must set aside money ASAP!!!!!

RVK layout number 2 "Secret Garden"

Moving right along:) Well I woke up this morning and started scrapping, after I did my morning duties of course! I am loving this kit so much, the colors remind me of Spring, exactly what we need on rainy days such as these.

So this time I used a Polaroid I had from my visit to the Oyster Bay Planting fields last summer, which by the way are beautiful. This particular image was just of a gorgeous iron gate we came across on our way through the park. I liked the way it photographed as a silhouette of just a floral design against the pale sky(yada yada yada) The gate led into this hidden sort of garden, HENCE the idea of this layout and quote!!!

"The secret garden is always open now. Open and awake, and alive. If you look the right way, you can see the whole world is a garden."

I played around with some gesso, yellow paint, and once again some hand doodling with my handy dandy felt tip pen. I used some buttons, some yellow thread for hand stitching and I cut out some of the K.I memories Star Lace Card stock, which I painted yellow. Hmmmmmm, oh and I used the Jenni Bowlin fancy square sort of paper for a template, so that my layout didn't have a plain square look to it. Did that make any sense at all??

Well then take a look for yourself???
