Another Month Almost Gone

Wow, August turned out to be busy mostly dealing with family issues for my SO. But I did continue to get layouts done for the MSW ABCs of Summer crop, which is just about over. Lots of inspiration to be found there, so here we go:

Yes I have missed a couple of letters, like I said it was a busy month but I got alot done!

X marks the spot, use a circle in layout:
W use the word Wish on card:
U must use the letter U on card:
T is for Two Techniques:
This was Q for Quick and Easy and it was:
O is for Owl
N is for Nekked chipboard:
M is for Multi-layers
This layout was a result of the main issue we've been dealing with, my SO was adopted and located his birthmother. She had just passed away in June and we located her thru the obituary. We discovered that he has two half-brother and five half-sisters. WOW...the baby picture was sent to us by his oldest half-sister and the two on the bottom were the earlies photos we had. Proof that little Tommy has been found.
L is for Love:
K is for Kiss, use the word:
I is for Inking:
H is for HotHotHot, use yellow, orange and reds:
F is is four photos except I used five:

Time to Update!

G is for Girly Green
E is for Event

C is for CloudsB is for Border
A is for Adornment

I'm pleased with how she came out. I actually don't have any magnolia stamps of my own and I got this image in a swap on the cmb. Follow this link for more information on this challenge.

Hi Everyone!!!

Wow June has gone by so fast...so much going on in my scrappy world. I've doing swaps on the cricut message board and one of most fun ones was the vintage/distressed paint can swap. My partner sent me this gorgeous can filled with all sorts of TH scrappy goodies.




Isn't this an absolutely gorgeous can and then here are a few photos of some of the goodies that were inside the can:




Many thanks to my partner to did a fabulous job!!!!

And, here a couple of photos of the can I did for her:



It was so much fun coming up with a design and then creating the can. One of the best swaps yet. All I can say is that my swapping supplies have double due to the Shoebox swaps and Paint Can swaps I've participated in lately. It has opened the world of Tim Holtz to me, I have to admit before all this I didn't know who the guy was and now I can't get enough of him and his goodies!

Earlier The Month......

MSW had another 1 hour crop. This is where they post six sketches and you have 1 hour to finish and then another 20 minutes to post to gallery at their website. These are always somewhat stressful but also fun to do! And, then it also fun to see what others come up with in the time allotted. So here are my cards I did, I only was able to 5 instead of 6:



This photo is of my cousin Patsy, my aunt Pauline and my mom. My aunt just turned 95 years old on the 13th.



And, here is some other scrappy goodness completed this month:
