Wipeout!!

Hey friends!!  So I have been working on a custom order for a friend and am so close to finishing... so I took some time out for myself (finally) and created this layout!!  So excited to get these things scrapped.
A new challenge over at Lasting Memories started on Sunday and it's all about
"Favourite TV Game Show" Go Here to Link Up... LMCB217
Create a layout based on a TV Game Show!!

WIPEOUT!!  This is actually my son's favorite TV Game show.  And how appropriate since this is all about him.  Unfortunately his summer didn't end real well when he broke his wrist after falling while riding his Ripstick in July.  It was his favorite birthday present and well it proved to not be his friend.  He hasn't ridden it since.  He plays other sports, so being cautious.  Will be getting him all kinds of protective gear soon!  

I was also inspired by the November challenge over at 123 Get Scrappy!!

Use 3 things from this board in a row!

I used... ONE WORD TITLE, MORE THAN 2 RIBBONS (3rd is tied around one wrapped on paper on left) & MASCULINE

My first time entering this challenge.  Not the last.  You have until December 1st to play!!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I'll be back again sooner rather than later.  Catching up on ME and some DT assignments.  :)

LMCB 212 Anything Goes... along with Frosted Designs Friday Challenge

Hello!!  I have a quick post for you.  There is a FUN and EASY challenge over at Lasting Memories that just started today... "ANYTHING GOES."  LMCB 212 Well what are you waiting for?  That is the easiest thing there is.  :) Here is my take...

I dug into some older photos for this one.  Our kiddos are not that super excited to do the pumpkin patch thing anymore.  Sad really.  We will still possibly go... but until then I need to relive these moments.  This was our son's first field trip with his pre-school.  Oh how time flies.  

I'm also entering this into the latest Frosted Designs Friday Challenge...

use FALL COLORS, INK and BLING

The Fall colors are obvious.  Besides my journaling, I inked the edges of the punched out pumpkins in the bottom right corner to emphasize that they are indeed pumpkins.  The tractor is also stamped and colored.  My bling is my sparkling lonely GREEN brad holding the corner edge folded up.  :)

Happy Fall Y'all!!  

Hope you have time to create!!

LITTLE FIREMAN

At first I was going to make this a Trick or Treat / Halloween card... but them remembered that it is "Fire Prevention week" at our son's school.  Might be the perfect opportunity to say "Thank You" to those that watch out for us at all hours of the day/night.

This is just one of a handful of new releases... so got check out Heather's fabulous digi images all releasing today!

MOJO MONDAY 365

My card measures 3.5 x 6".  Tall and skinny is the theme.

Love to DANCE... Sketches in Thyme #131 reveal!!

And I scrapped!!  Always pat myself on the back when I get a layout completed for one of my kiddos.  Today I am pleased to share with you the newest sketch for Sketches in Thyme!! As a TEAM A member... I get to showcase my creativity this time around.   SIT131 - Go Here to link up And my reveal...

I had fun with this!!  Our daughter's 2nd ever Hip Hop dance recital this past summer.  She was super sick for 2 weeks prior.  We weren't sure if she could pull this off.  And she did!  She quite amazed us with her talents since her Mother and Father clearly do not have these skills.  LOL!  (Well maybe I do behind closed doors when no one is looking and the stereo is blasting.  :) )

Here is the sketch designed by BEV to follow... This is the first of 2 sketches for the month of October.  Come play with us over at  Sketches in Thyme for your chance to win!  If anything, check out the amazing DT creations! Thanks for stopping by!!  See you soon!
