Here is another LO from the Blog Hop Lift Challange at OSU. This is from Kylie and you can see her blog here http://longlivepaperandscissors.blogspot.com/

This is for a challange at a board I belong to called OSU. It is a scraplift from one of our members, Valerie. You can see the original LO here http://myhere-rightnow.blogspot.com/2010/08/layout-for-couple-of-challenges.html#comments

Just a couple of new LO's, one of dh in Waco and other one of ds when he was 11.

another LO from our trip to Waco. Wanted to tell the story of taking the class but did not have any photos of the store or even of the project, so had to use this photo of me by the Waco historical marker. Used MME some new "Sophie" and some older that matched well. I was surprised how well the colors matched. Also used some bloomers from BG.

Just a couple more LO's from our anniversary. "Bed and Breakfast" is done with mostly the new Studio Calico kit.

This is the sign in desk in the lobby of the Cotton Palace. I keep wanting to call it the Cotton Patch Inn for some reason! The way my mind goes sometimes. This is the lovely travel themed paper from Girls'Paperie, some BG basics and some MME.

Here are a couple of LO's from our Anniversary weekend.
We went to Waco and stayed at a very nice Bed and Breakfast called The Cotton Palace. Saturday we explored the city and went to a couple of museums and saw the city center and the courthouse which has a beautiful white dome. We ate at Mexican resturants three times in two days! Both of them are chains that do not have locations near us, but I have eaten at in the past.
Both were great. I took a class with Jenni Bowlin. She was very nice and the class was fun. The breakfasts were delightful also.

A couple of new LO's for you. The one without a title is made with the new Studio Calico kit and is a scraplift from my friend Betsie. Time flies is dd at about 2 and a half years old. I also used the new Studio Calico kit for this one.

Have not been scrapping much lately. But I am loving the new BG Basics. At the Zoo is made with it.

Got a chance to scrap a little today. Inspiration mostly from the newest Scrapbooks etc and page maps.

A lift from my friend Valerie! Thanks Val!

And another LO from that photo shoot. I am enjoying having some new photos to scrap. You know I am at that time in life when there are not any small children around to photograph. The people in my life change very slowly, so we don't do frequent shoots.

Here are a few new LO's. Most of them are from an informal photo shoot sil did of dd at a local park. When I went to get them from Walgreens, they wanted a copywright release because they thought a professional photographer took them. It took some convincing to get them to believe sil took the pictures.

Here is a picture of DS getting his award for having an average of 93 for all work done through the year.
Prom prep is done based on a page maps sketch
Santa and Me is also based on a page maps sketch
Friends is a scraplift from my friend Tricia.

I have not scrapped in many weeks. Spring is just too beautiful to be inside. But, alas, spring is over and summer is here with a vengence. I enjoyed spring, but did not take any photos. We went to my mom's 85th birthday party and did not take picture one. Very unlike me.
Anyway, here are two from May Studio Calico kit.
One is of dd at about 18 mos of age enjoying bubbles.
The other is of a fashion window display ds saw while in Russia.

"Don't take my picture" somehow looks crooked but it really isn't.
"Bob" is an old pic of dh.
"Bible Quiz" is of dd. used studio calico kit and pp.
Thanks for looking. Your comments are much appreciated.

I think I have entered a simpler phase. This is much more direct and unembellished than most of my LO's of late.

Enjoy!

both these are sneak peeks from the April Telephone Scraplift at OSU. Twinkle toes is the first version I did. I did not like it that much and thought it lacked some of the detail of the original LO. So, I did another one, and I think it is better. You will just have to wait to see the whole LO on OSU.

Happy was one of those LO's that sit on my desk for a couple of days before I can decide what exactly it is that needs to go on a LO and where it should rest.
Love came together easily once I decided that I wanted a swirl. This is one of my favorite pictures of me ever taken. Of course it was taken over 20 years ago, that might have something to do with it- HA!
