just my style

More pages from Scrap Pink Weekend Crop !!

A few more layouts from Scrap Pink Weekend at Right At Home Scrapbooking ... the first layout was inspired by the wonderful gallery of Pencil Lines sketch site !!  This is a great site - especially when you need a hit of inspiration !! I've had this photo for a while and have been waiting to scrap it - this layout seemed to be the right fit !! It also gave me the opportunity to use more Basic Grey June Bug Collection papers ...

 

The next layout is a scraplift from the incredibly talented Janna Wilson. This was a sketch from a really fun Got Sketch? Mini Class. The sketch was fun and Janna's layout was so great I HAD to lift it !! I had the pictures already - a perfect match for the layout !! Thanks for the inspiration Janna and Got Sketch !!

 

 

 I had a fabulous weekend !!! I took Friday off from work and attended a 3 day Scrap Pink Weekend Crop at Right at Home Scrapbooking !! It was SOOOO much FUN and all for one of the best causes - Breast Cancer Awareness !!!!! I saw some great friends I haven't seen in a while and actually got some projects done - imagine that !!!!! I even took today off to regroup, put stuff away, put finishing touches on some layouts and photograph them so I can share them with you !! I did several Fall layouts using pictures I took last weekend at Phantom Farms in Cumberland, R.I. - the day couldn't have been more clear - the perfect Fall day !! So here are a few layouts and some close-ups and I'll post some more tomorrow !! TFL and I hope everyone had a great weekend as well !!

 On the next layout I used American Crafts Thickers in canvas which I distressed by sanding and fraying the edges - I also used a fabric piece from Pink Paislee and I frayed the edges to enhance the feel of the Scarecrow ... The paper is Basic Grey's new line Indian Summer - yummy papers !!! (The pink tickets were from the raffle at the crop ... )

The next layout I took was of an adorable girl at the Farm choosing her FAV apple - sooooo cute !! I'm loving Jenni Bowlin Chipboard buttons lately ... can you tell ....

SCRAPPINK WEEKEND IS HERE !!!!

Getting ready to head out to my LSS Right at Home Scrapbooking for SCRAPPINK Weekend !!!! I'm so psyched (except for the loading and unloading of too much stuff - I always do that LOL !!)

Hopefully I'll have some projects to show you - sometimes it ends up more socializing and shopping than scrapping - but it's ALWAYS fun !! I can't wait to see friends I haven't seen in awhile and be inspired by everyone's projects !! So I wish everyone a great weekend - hopefully you're doing some scrappink type things - a cause that always needs our help !! Have fun and I'll chat with you all soon !!

Autumn Begins Today !!

Well, I made it through Monday but not without computer issues at work !! How I love technology ..... WHEN IT WORKS !!!!! Hopefully it will be resolved tomorrow ... keep your fingers crossed for me !!

There are plenty of great takes on this month's second sketch over at Inspired Blueprints !! Please stop by and check out the gallery ... the cards, digi layouts, 8.5 x 11 as well as 12 x 12 layouts are very inspiring !! So, here is sketch # 30 and my version !! I loved this sketch - room for lots of photos !! TFL and have a wonderful first day of Autumn !!

Good Morning Monday !!

Monday, Monday  ..... a  bit of a let down going back to work after a gorgeous day yesterday !! I'd rather stay home and edit my photos from yesterday but alas, reality awaits !!  Over the weekend I  finished a layout for Inspired Blueprints and I wanted to leave you with a sneak peek - this was a really fun sketch ...  I say that everytime, don't I ... well ... it's true everytime !! Here it is ... have a great Monday !!

Gorgeous Fall Day !!

Today was one of the most beautiful fall days I've seen lately !! Gorgeous blue skies, warm, no wind ... absolutely perfect !! A day screaming for a trip to an apple orchard !! My good friend and I went to Phantom Farms, a really fun farm in Cumberland, R.I. Apple picking, burlap maze, pumpkins and Mums everywhere !! I, of course, brought the DSLR along for the trip and took TONS of photos !! I'll leave you with a few and I ordered a cool storyboard collage from House of three so I'll be able to show you more photos soon (if I can figure it out LOL !!) TFL and enjoy the week !!

1300 is the Goal !!

Almost Friday ... closer to the weekend, which is supposed to be GORGEOUS !! I hope to get outside as much as possible this weekend and savor the end of the summer !!!

Next month will be the anniversary of Inspired Blueprints - 1 year old !! It was been wonderful to be a part of this group from the start. The talent of the DT and the members is amazing and the inspiration is non-stop !! We are currently 1,264 members strong and our goal is to reach 1,300 by our anniversary. So please join and pass this on ... the sketches are great and the  community is warm and incredibly friendly !! Help us reach our goal !!

Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend !!!!

Scrapping, Eating Out and Go Pats !!

Hope everyone had a great weekend !! Saturday was a rainy day - a great day for scrapping !! Sunday I had great meal with my parents and Gram for my Mom's Birthday !! We went to our FAV Italian Restaurant for an awesome meal !! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM !!!

I did a layout for a co-worker with a few adorable photos she took of her son and dog at the Cape !! It's hard to tell who had more fun !! Here's the page I did .. I used an older sketch from Inspired Blueprints that was perfect for the photos !! The little envelope contains a tag for her to journal her thoughts on the memory !! Thanks for looking and have a great week ... and GO PATS !!

 

 

Happy Labor Day !!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day LONG weekend !! Here in New England we had perfect weather - comfortable and loads of sunshine !!

I wanted to post a few more pics of the planters we did yesterday - these are NOT technically good pics - used my point & shoot just to snap a few quick shots !! TFL !!

 

 

 

Perfect Weekend !!

What a gorgeous weekend !! The weather has been perfect - tons of sunshine and cooler nights for comfy sleeping !! I'm enjoying some deck time and today planted some mums in my deck planters with the help of my Mom and Dad !! I took some pics but later in the day and the lighting wasn't great - but here's some close-ups of the buds - can't wait until they're in full bloom !! I'll take some more pics tomorrow in better light !! Have a great holiday !!
