New kit and Coupon code! :)

Hey there!  I hope you're having some fun this Friday the 13th!!!  I wish I would have remembered last night so I could play some jokes on the kiddos today.  But, as usual... I didn't realize the actual date until the afternoon.  Oh well.

Abby's sick and sleeping and Noah's been playing Guitar Hero so long I'm getting ready to LOSE my mind.  But, I'm trying to let him play up...this is the last OFFICIAL summer Friday.

The new kit is up at Mscraps!  It's called Summer Flies and it's super girly! I'm going to update my blog and make some blinkies with it later but for now..... here's the previews.

SUMMER FLIES

And here's some inspiration from my team.

AND..if you stuck through all that I have a special coupon for ya!

It's already 20% off...but you can take an ADDITIONAL 20% off by using coupon code blogwme!

Have a great weekend!

Scrapping

It's how it all started yet it's the first thing I let slide.  Shameful.  So, I spent the day (and night) scrapping...it's been SO nice.  Of course, I had an accident an hour into one of them... I can't seem to stop myself from shutting down ps in the middle of things.  That's how I get my heart rate up...I'm like a dare-devil or something- can I finish a page before I sabotage myself?  LOL

My kids are home from Chicago.  I REALLY missed them this time... it's getting worse instead of better.  Makes no sense.   I believe that it's because they're turning into great little chit-chatters.  I didn't realize how much I really depend on them for convo during the day!  To fulfill my chat quota I had to resort to calling friends from 1982 and talking their ears off! ;)   Anyway, it took a single day before I was dreaming about that school bell ringing!  I swear, I believe that homeschool Mommies are seriously angels or something.   I NEED my days back.  LOL

It's NEW product day!

Again with the blogging... I'm seriously setting a new record for myself!  I may just have the hang of this.  ;)
I've been meaning to make this kit for almost 2 years!!! I have a little file on my computer of little quotes by the kiddos that I want to scrap.  Ok, so the kits finished... who's going to scrap them????  LOL 

Here's Chatterbox

Here's a little inspiration from some AMAZING scrappers!

Ok, I HAVE to get some laundry finished so I can pack up my kids.  They're heading off to Chicago to visit with Grandma for 2 weeks!!!  I know I'll miss them but I could REALLY use the peace and quiet for a few days.  I'm sure you understand!   After losing my little brother and sister it's very important for me that my kids KNOW my Mom.  I didn't make family enough of a priority and now it's just too late.  I'll always regret that.   
Alright, why do I do that to myself.. Ok. 

It's FRIDAY ladies..get out and do something FUN! :)

Sneak Peek!

Check this out... I'm blogging again!  LOL 

I'm up waiting to wake up the hubs.  He's going in early and I'm supposed to make sure he gets up...because 2 alarms and a cell phone aren't enough to ensure an early rise out him!

So, I've finished up the next installation of the MScraps August collab...and worked on getting myself caught up on Big Brother.  I won't go into my obsession with BB here...but just know, it's not pretty and I'm not proud.   Fortunately, in this day and age you can find some chicks to dish on ANYthing with ya.  Holla to my 2peas BBFF! ;)

I haven't scavenged my EHD's for a freebie today...but I do have a sneak peek of something new coming out Friday at Mscraps.  Who knows, keep an eye peeled and ya just may find a great coupon here on release day! 

First of all, do you know how your kids like to jibber jabber either in the car or *gasp* when you're trying to actually pay attention to your friend on the phone...hehe  Well, lately I've noticed that my daughter is SERIOUSLY into telling me all her innermost thoughts.  It's freaking HILARIOUS!  The things that fall out of her mouth keep me laughing.  I had to do something special to scrapbook some of them.  SO, here's a little sneak of what I came up with.....

Ok, I believe I've killed enough time... hopefully, I can catch him before the alarms wake up the offspring!

Have a wonderful day!!!

I also want to add that I'm going to finish up my CT choices and have everyone notified by tomorrow evening!  If anyone that's reading applied.... thank you so much!!! I'll be in touch! :)

WOW

Am I blog-slacker or what!  LOL   I've started a new schedule so hopefully, I can keep up with everything.  The kids are home for the summer so I don't have to be up so early the morning.  I can work in the evenings when they're sacked out. I LOVE it!

Ok, here's quick catch up.  I have some new kits up at MScraps.  I've messed up my 365 so horribly I don't know if I'm going to recover.  And, drum rolllllllllll I'm having a CT Call!  So, if you or someone ya know are looking for a LOW PRESSURE scrap gig- let me know!

Ok, I'm going to throw a few previews and then a freebie!!! :)

I'm finally finding some sort of groove after the year away from designing!  I was a little lost for a bit.  It's hard to come  back after being away so long.

Ok, I found this on my EHD the other day and was OH SO HAPPY.  I loved it...and still do.  Ya may find a use for them as well.  They're real paper so they have that yummy texture!

**CLICK HERE FOR ALPHA**

I used them on this... just did a blend on it so they weren't screaming.

Alright, that's about it for today!

Be Blissed my scrappin' friends! :)

Collab fun with Shawna Clingerman!

We had a lot of fun with this one... who doesn't have a photo or two (or at least a story to tell) about something the kiddos managed to get into!  Check it out.....

I just love her fun style.  Here's a few layouts for inspiration....

Layouts by scrapwithnikki, jenny79, inklover13, and jenn barrette.

I'm working on something sorta fun for my little puddin'....she's not TOO frilly so don't expect satin and lace!

Feeling pretty awful about all the days I'm skipping in the 365 project.  I have to fill in and get back on the horse.  I really want to have that photo book for the end of the year.   I've seen some amazing templates out there, so that should help me get back in the groove.

Thanks for stopping by!
