SO, WHAT'S NEW??

What's new is that I've begun the job hunting process. I'm looking for a part time job and have already filled out several applications to local retail stores. What's with these on-line applications? I like handing my application in by hand so much better!!


So, in the mean time, I'm trying to keep busy with making new layouts.

This is my husband, Frank. Can't you see the same face?? Over the winter break, Steph decided to scan boxes and boxes of slides into the computer. THANK YOU, Steph!! Some are not in very good condition but others are perfect. I was able to do a little editing on some.

These next 2 are birthday cards that I made for 2 January birthdays.

OK, so, a year ago I found some wrestling papers & embellishments at the CKC (Creating Keepsakes Convention) here in Louisville. I bought them for my sister because her son, David, was a star on his high school team. Well, she said she didn't have time so I took them with the photos and have finally gotten around to scrapping them. These next 2 layouts are the results.

Back in 2008, Steph, my sister and I went on a cruise. I did a journal of the adventure but I never really scrapped layouts. These are the first two. We were at Half Moon Cay near the Bahamas (I think) and Micky just had the best time....relaxing.

This one was on a boat riding to a stingray excursion.

This is my latest layout for These Are a Few of My Favorite Things Challenge Blog. The challenge was to scrap your favorite fragrance.

I skipped 2008 but finally got around to doing a year-in-review layout for 2009.

Thanks for stopping by!

WORK BENEFITS

One of the benefits of working at Scrap~N~Crap is that I am able to do a little scrapping in between customers! I didn't do these in 1 day...several weeks.

EmbellishMeAgain Layout

The possibilities are endless! This is what I did with one of my several embellishment kits! The only added items were the card stock and pattern paper...oh, and the Ranger crackle paint on the #5!

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...

I just love this relatively new challenge blog! It focuses on the "Me" instead of just scrapping the vacations, kits, etc. The prompts have been great so far. Can't wait for the next one. I haven't been able to scrap much lately so I've missed the deadlines for several challenge blogs. I finally got to sit down and do 2 whole layouts!


The prompt for this one was to scrap about your favorite movie. There are so many that I've loved over the years but this one just stood out so much more! I'm not a big fan of Abbott & Costello movies but this one was just so different...only 1 of 2 that they didn't act together in their usual fashion.

In a song called "If you could read my mind" there's a reference to the "ghosts in a wishing well". I believe that that quote references this movie. And, this is the movie that sparked my interest in ghostly things and the supernatural. LOVE this movie!! So, I totally missed the deadline for this one but I wanted to do it anyway.

This one is for the latest prompt about your favorite foods. Now, I didn't get to look the way I do by eating too many green beans! I love lots of different kinds of foods. But this is one that I have the hardest time to pass up. CINNAMON!! It has so many healthy advantages too!
Thanks for looking!

PHOTO SWAP

Next weekend I will be in Franklin, Tennessee for a fantastic Scrapbooking weekend called Scrap IN Style Live - SISiversary '09. There's a ton of things to do to get ready and one of those is this Photo Swap.


I swapped pics with another member and then we scrap their photo(s). Bridget sent me 2 pics of her cats and this is what I've done with them. I've left some room so she can do her own journaling. This is what she wrote of her little felines:

Yeah, they're my favorite subjects. The first picture is of Kirby and Puddy. Puddy is the big brother, and little sister Kirby just loves him so much. The second one is of Ollie. He had been sleeping with my dad's socks, and I snapped the pic in mid-yawn. It's too funny!



I usually post my layouts on SIS but I haven't posted these so Bridget won't see them before our exchange.

Thanks for looking!
