To Blog or Not To Blog!!

I haven't blogged in soooooo long!! we had spring break here and i was busy resting and catching up on a million (yes a bit exagerated) things that I had not been able to do. and sadly i didn't even scrapbook over spring break!! well i have been scrapping lately and getting back into the groove.. so will be posting some stuff soon. Make sure you check out Your Scrapbook Stash the store and the gallery. The store keeps getting in great stuff and the DT girls are working with great product for Aprils Kit, so make sure to go click on the link and check it out!! Ok will post some stuff later this weekend!! =)

alright so its been a crazy weekend and last week was a crazy week and this week is going to be a crazy week. I start grad classes again after a week off and this time I am taking two classess!! YIKES! anyways.. you have to check out the new gallery at Your Scrapbook Stash - the Design Team is doing awesome work with this months kits from Tinkering Ink!! awesome stuff!!

also I have made it to round three at Scrap-Tastics american idol contest - this weeks challenge was awesome we had to either take a rap song and use it as inspiration for a scrap rap! I used the Song, Mr.Boombastic from Shaggy to create me scrap rap and honestly I am sooo not a rapper.. LOL.. check out the LO and wish me luck!

alright well i have quite the mess and loads of laundy to start on, so maybe one day I'll actually post a more enlightening blog =)

Its all good!

well after a great but late evening with friends last night i have had a rough start to my moring. I am way to sleepy to be functioning and working with third graders they don't let me sit still for a moment. Luckily I have a day filled with breaks!! and instead of being productive I am surfing the web. Well the good news is that I made it to round 2 in the Scrap-Tastic Idol - this weeks challenge is to use a CD cover for inspiration and we also need to make sure to use chipboard and buttons.. sounds like a fun one, now i just need to find a cd cover to inspire me!!

I have a final tonight and of course I have not studied so this should be interesting! then its come home and go to bed, hopefully will get some scrapping done this weekend, i have felt all scrappy lately so I need to take advantage and scrap to my hearts content!

Oh and for the best news, I got a call yesterday that my wedding dress came in and is ready for me to pick up!! the wedding is still a bit over a year away, but playing around trying on dresses I found MY dress and just had to buy it!! now i have to store it away for a while!! but I am more than happy to do so!

Ok.. off to try and get some studying done!

Scrap-Tastic Idol Challenge 1

There is very fun contest going on at Scrap-Tastic. Its the American Idol contest. They narrowed it down to 48 contestans and I have to say that everyone is really talented and there are amazing LO's!! I made it to round one. The challenge this week was to pick a song and choose a lyric in the song as the title to the LO, we also had a to use at least 3 PP and then describe a technique we used.

I picked the song "Your Picture" by Gloria Estefan. Here is the description that I posted with my LO.. this is for challenge 1 in th AI contest. LO is of my grandmother and me, this pic was taken a few weeks before she passed away - she was the most wonderful person I have ever known so i picked a song by Glorida Estefan that remind me of this picture everytine I hear it, oddly enough the song is titled 'Your Picture' i choose the lyric ::Smiling back at me:: b/c thats what i feel everytime i see this pic. The technique i used was inkinh and dotting the letters in the title and then bordering the journaling with black ink to make it pop out more. the PP was 2 from K&Co and 1 from chatterbox, i also used CS, Heidi Swapp chipboard letters, flowers, buttons, word ribbon with family ties written on it. Journaling says "I SMILE =) This was the last picture taken of us. I look at this picture and rememeber and feel all the love we share. Thank you for all the love and beautiful memoreis given to me. You were an amazing gramdmother and the best gaurdian angel" The song 'Your Picture' by Glorida Estefan "Every star has a reason, a moment and reason to be" Thank You for looking =)

can't wait to see the results of this weeks challenge!! keeping my fingers crossed =)
