I love Digi Scrappin!

It's time for another Colour Q Challenge.

I admit I was a bit scared of all the shades of green.

I love green, but using all of them together had me stumped for a moment.

I decided to use them as accent colors and the fact that Arielle's Wild Wasabi shade is in the photo helped alot! YaY!!  I love Gray being the main color. 

I am really feeling GRAYS this year!!

Landon even picked a wonderful gray for his and the little boy's 

new room color...I was very pleased!

We took the kids to the Zoo last spring and we had a blast!

I LOVE this photo of Hannah and McCoy!

I liked the page above so much...I just had to make a few more to go with it.

This was the end of a long, fun day and these 5 Sweet Little Monkeys were worn out!

Ella thinks she is Chinese and pretends we adopted her from some Apes that had raised her until she was a few months old. Well, I think it's pretend, but not 100% sure since the last time I tried to find out by saying "You know you aren't really from China and you weren't really cared for by Apes, right Ella?"  She was shocked and cried and cried, I quickly reassured her that, YES, YES, she was Chinese and we did adopt her from a family of apes.

When she saw these statues, she ran to them calling out to "her long lost family"...professing her love for them and then directed me to take lots of photos of her, her Mom, Dad and Baby brother!

Good Grief...she is a character!!!

We'd love for you to join us at

Colour Q Challenge

Howdy Y'all!!

I have another digital scrap page for you...using the CQC color combo.

I used my sweet Hannah as the subject of this page and My Memories Digital Software 

to put it together.

Here is the color combo:

TPE 137 and CQ126

I've been spending lots of time with my kiddos and family these days and so I forgot to post my
TPE (The Pink Elephant) page yesterday.
I thought I'd pop it here in this post along with my Colour Q Challenge page.

Good Buddies - Landon & Ella

This is a 4X6 Page...I'm thinking of doing a little photo book in this fun little size.
I created it using My Memories software. 

For this week's TPE Challenge, I designed a simple sketch:

Hope you will like it!!

A post bustin' at the seams

Hold onto your hats...I have a lot of catching up to do! :o)

I haven't felt myself lately and although I still don't feel great (I've been fighting something very similar to food poisoning...icky) I have mustard up enough strength to post all the project that I fell terribly behind in posting!

So here goes, HOLD ON....

This page of my Silly Faced Jussie is for this week's Colour Q Challenge 125

I used My Memories Software and photos I took of Jussie this past May.
There is a code on my sidebar if you decide to purchase this software you will get $10 off and an additional $10 to spend on kits!! Yippppeeee!!
_______________________________________________________


This page is for this week's The Pink Elephant-TPE 136
The challenge theme is: Print It

While, Jussie and I shopped around and made funny faces, the other 3 little kids, colored their pages for a Summer Coloring Contest at Half-Priced Books (my husband's favorite store).  Once, I came back over and saw their pages I knew Ella's was the best of theirs, but once I saw hers on the wall with the many other submissions...I just had a feeling she was going to win.  She DID!! A few days later, we got a call from HPB and they let us know that Ella's page had been picked as their top winner and that she was welcome to come in and pick her gift card design (which she LOVED) and they would load it up with $ for Books!!
Although, she was fighting through a lot of pain that day, she had so much fun picking her books!
Thank You HPB!

keeps me on my toes...but when he smiles...it makes it all worth it!

TPE and CQC - Scrap Pages

Well, I ran behind yesterday and didn't post my TPE creation, so 

I am adding it here today with my Colour Q creation.

I designed scrap pages for both of them.

The Pink Elephant's challenge is to design something using your favorite color(s).

Normally, my favorite color is ALWAYS Pink, but right now, I am really loving off shades of green.

I really like a green & yellow color scheme, soooooo........

TA DA...I did a scrap page featuring my youngest daughter, Ella.

I used the My Memories Suite Software and a mixture of several kits from MM to create my page.

I know I have mentioned it before, but I wanna say it again

I LOVE My Memories!!

It really makes digital scrapping so easy and fun!

If it sounds like something you'd like to try...use my discount code over there in my blog sidebar...it gives you $10 off the software and an additional $10 to use in the store!

Now, for my 

Colour Q Challenges project!!

I designed another scrap page using Arielle's Color Scheme as my inspiration.

This color combo REALLY kicked my booty.

It is certainly NOT my fav colors and to have to use them altogether, well, you 

be the judge...AND don't laugh!! LOL!!

I tried, but it was definitely a challenge!! I just had to add a pinch of green! Yikes!!

I can't wait to see your creations so hop on over and link up your project!!

TPE and CQC - Scrap Pages

Happy Tuesday my friends!!

I have 2 challenges to share with you today:

The Pink Elephant - TPE 130

is all about HEARTS

I designed a digital scrap page of one of my sweethearts, my daughter, Ella.

_____________________________________

The color combo at Colour Q Challenges is Orange and Pinks and Gray.

Sure hope you get a chance to play!

I did a scrap page of myself.  Now, I do not normally hop into photos, I prefer to stay behind the camera.

However, I recently read an letter from a lady who put off getting her family's portrait done and soon after found out she had Cancer and well, you can imagine the sad ending. 

My friend, Janet Bagnall and I chatted about this article and both agreed that we need to get IN photos, not just take them. We agreed that one day we will be gone (maybe sooner than we want) and that our family needs to have photographs of us.

Sooooo, for this reason...the next evening I took this photo of myself.

 I scrapped it for my kiddos.

She is missing her brother Boo, but she is still ready to wish your lil' sweetie a Happy Halloween! 

After I made this I realized it would work for the sketch over at Card Patterns, so I have entered it into that challenge.
