PageMaps challenge

I did a layout last night for the PageMaps blog sketch challenge. Here it is! To see the challenge, go to http://www.pagemaps.com/blog.php

Most supplies are from the Scarlet Lime May 09 kit. I made the brick paper using white cardstock, a ruler, and a black fine tip Sharpie. TFL!

A scraplift... and a Challenge

I was needing a creative boost this weekend, so I did YMBD's Saturday Scraplift. Here it is.

I used my brand spanking new K & Co, and my new DCWV for this LO.

Hope your weekend is coming to a peaceful close. :)

10:11 am today

Today, I wanted to do something just for fun. Elizabeth Kartchner posted some fun on her blog: http://www.elizabethkartchner.blogspot.com/. The challenge was to take a photo at 7.8.09, 10:11:12 am. Well, I am not sure about the seconds, but this is what was happening at my house at 10:11 am this morning. This is the result of a really busy, exhausting day yesterday!

Ok, time to turn the TV off and try to get something done! Thansk for stopping by!
