More Stuff!

So, the creative bug has really bitten the last week or so and I have a couple more projects to share.

This first one is made from the July kit papers over at My Scrapbook Nook. They are the fabulous new Passport papers from Making Memories. It's an 8x10 wall hanging and I did a class on it for the Nook. You can find all the instructions HERE.

And while I'm not 30 yet, I will be in another 7 months or so and that got me thinking...I don't feel old. At all. And I wanted to make a layout about that. This layout is made using mostly products from one of my all time FAVORITE companies -- American Crafts. The bold patterns and bright colors are right up my alley!! Love me some AC! :)

Have a great rest of the week and weekend!!

Summer Hair

I love it when it gets hot outside and it's time fora little trim! Although I got a little more than a trim this time around...several inches. But I LOVE it! Thanks to my good friend Susan...Do you have any idea how great it is to have a friend that cuts hair? And I totally trust her judgement and she did a fabulous job! Thanks girl! :)

Here's a before and after pic:

Where to start....

Well, last week was awful. Horrible. Sad. Depressing. I miscarried last weekend. It was a very hard week...physically and emotionally. I've never gone through anything like that before and I hope I never have to again. I think one of the hardest parts about it was that it took so long to get to that point, just to have it all taken away from me. I keep telling myself that there was a good reason. I know there HAD to be a good reason, but it doesn't make it any less painful. We are dealing with it though...with the help of our friends and family. With all of the wonderful thoughts, prayers and cards that are being sent our way. It helps. A lot. I've been trying to get back into a normal routine and that's helped a lot too.

So, enough sad talk. It only makes me more depressed.

I made a couple of layouts a couple of weeks ago with the June kit over at the Nook:

I also made a layout for my Found Stamp Challenge for the Nook Scrap Off Contest. There are some super fun challenges going on over there with some CRAZY talented girls!

Anywho, here's the LO I made:

I stamped the background with a cooling rack from my kitchen and I raided Tate's truck box to stamp the title.

Also, the July kit pics are up! Pure yumminess!
