And ode... to Dance-Cleaning...

Yes, dance-cleaning.  Yes, I just made that up :)  But that is what I do!  I crank up the tunes and clean.  Makes it way more fun for me and Runaway Baby by Bruno Mars is my fav.  I ALWAYS start with that song on.  I'm lucky enough to have speakers wired into my kitchen so I can plug in my iPhone and hit play.

And here's a layout I did to document this quirk of mine (that I have been doing since I was a teenager!!).  It was a challenge over at Noel Mignon to use song lyrics on a page.  I am very sure she didn't mean like this but this song immediately popped into my head and I had the really funny idea to make this layout.  I ALSO (multi-tasking mama) scrap-lifted a Pea (the weekly challenge over at Two Peas in a Bucket) in making this layout and the original layout by hollystar is HERE.

Enjoy and have a scrappy day!!

Some Stampin' Up layouts

Well, I keep doing cards with my Stampin' Up supplies but truly, I am a layout girl at heart (don't get me wrong, I LOVE cards but...)

So here are two layouts I did last night using almost exclusively SU stuff.

The "Five" layout uses the Sunshine Garden designer pp and Kiwi Kiss and Pacific Point Blue cardstock. The fives are all random chipboard that I had and the title is MM puffy alphas.




The "Swimming" layout uses the *NEW* The Write Stuff designer paper for the yellow grid background and the (wow) die cut journalling spots. It comes with three sheets of die cuts!!! LOVE THAT... let me say that again, I LOVE THAT!!! The brads are from the Stylized Silver Hodgepodge Hardware and the border and mat are Baja Blue and the title is MM Noteworthy Flocked letters.

A layout to give away and one for me

Another challenge over at Lil Scrappers was to create a layout for someone else. I did that this weekend and created this dlb lo for my brother of his grad this May. He got his Bac. of Education and it was a LONG haul.

The 2nd layout is a single for our family book of the event (one for me!)

(I used the SU circle brads for the embellishments - they are STURDY brads!!)

Layouts without journalling

This was one of the June challenges over at Lil Scrappers and it was a very, very hard one for me. I always have lots to write on my pages and trying to just let the picture tell the story alone was hard. But I think I did a pretty good job in chosing especially the first one.

(I used the fabulous SU corduroy brads for the corners on each layout. I just love these to death!!)

2009 layouts

A couple of layouts I did recently! I am working on my wedding album and end of the year cards so I have to wait on doing more layouts for a bit now. I am so excited to do them though... I am almost caught up for 2009. AMAZING!!

(I got a SU corduroy brad in on the corner of the Water Park lo, I just love them!!)
