Halloween Close up!!

Halloween was so much fun this year... esp. since last year we were homeless because of Super Storm Sandy.  The boys and I really got into the holiday!!! I was super happy to be able to use my passion Makeup to really get the boys into this fun time of year. Here are a few close ups of so of the layouts I have done so far!! If you have any questions or see something you want to know about let me know!!! I have been using most products I found at Michaels on sale AFTER Halloween. Recollections and My Minds Eye.

I am hoping to get finished with the Halloween stuff soon!! I want to finish up my calendar cards (my December Daily) before the first of December!!!!  I have a lot of Fall pictures to scrap before Thanksgiving comes!!! MUST SCRAP EVERYDAY!!! LOL Take care everyone!!!

Busy Summer and Now we are in Fall

Hello Crafty Scrappy Mamas!!!! Wow this year has flown by!!!  Summer was a blur and with 2 of my 3 boys going to school now I am still just as busy as in the summer, only now I am doing home every night!! I have had sometime to create and plan tho!!!  I also went to the Scrapbook Expo with Nicole!! We shopped and hung out it was fun!! I have videos on Youtube showing all my hauls... check them out below.

About this blog... since this blog is for my hobby I am no longer going to feel bad about not posting... I hate feeling like I HAVE to post!!  I wish I had something mobile to with.  I have a Kindle Fire and a Galaxy s3 but I haven't found that those are great for Blogger.  So I can only get to posting when I have 10mins or so alone... which hardly happens. That being said I have some old news to get to.  IF YOU WON THE NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY mini contest I had PLEASE contact me again with you info. I still have your winnings but I don't have the addys.

New stuff: I'm doing my own December Daily and getting my Halloween layouts too!! Follow me on Youtube and Instagram to see more from me!!! Thanks everyone... Also check the Gallery link above to see more pictures and what not!!

Layout Share: The Boys

This turned out great... I think! I followed a sketch from ScrapFriends (which is a great site for sketches and challenges)

 I am not going to do a list for this one... but I used a lot of Basic Grey and My Mind's Eye. Thickers for the title and Tim Holtz for those little words in the corner cluster! If you have any questions about the products leave a comment and I will look it up for you!
