I'm here to live outloud!

more of my Get 'er done project 100

Not much to say today. Thinking about putting a dent into some of my design team work this weekend. I was just asked to join a new one yesterday and I have never represented or taught with their product so it will be very exciting to have fun with that. I will let you know who it is once I receive my product to play with. :))

Until then, here's a few more that I made the other day. This one was a class that I took from Bazzill.  hmm, I just added the pics and the buds title. Otherwise the layout is how I did in the class. I'm not excited about this at all , but I think it is because I am sooooo used to always using patterned paper WITH cardstock. Rarely do I do a 100% cardstock layout.

supplies:Bazzill, cardstock & flowers. brads unknown, Heidi Swapp chipboard letters, stickles. Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Jillibean pp. American Crafts thickers, Making Memories rub ons. Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L EZ runner & foam squares

This layout I taught probably 4-5 years ago? It is only page 1 of 2. These are the Cooper's Christmas photos one year, so I LOVED pairing the colours because the red totally pops!

supplies: Rose Moka pp, stickers. Bazzill cardstock, magic mesh, fancy pants rub ons. Magenta mesh paper

Another quick quick layout. I really love contrasting black & white with colour fun.

supplies: Luxe pp & jotters,  American Craft's thicker shapes & Memory writers, Prism

This one was one of those layouts I create because I totally dig the paper and want to use it but have no pics picked out yet, or with me. I really like how this one turned out.

supplies: Bo Bunny pp & rub ons, American Crafts thickers, Fiskars punch, Kaisercraft rhinestones & pearls, Bazzill

See you tomorrow for Inspiration Sunday. Who is going to inspire me this week? hmmm...

a little Bo Bunny love.

totally LOVE Bo Bunny, so thought I'd interrupt discussing Crop & Create for today to show a layout or two.

Isn't Jade simply stunning. I really liked this layout too.

I had sooooo much fun scrapping my besties family. I can't wait to give these layouts to her. Cute! This one I didn't really want to tape down in case it wrecked the layout so sorry for the poor quality photo. but you can click on it to enlarge.

 

Sooooooo is everyone aware that TOMORROW, Friday May 20th. a Kindersly Transport has been arranged to take donations up to Slave Lake. If you are interested here is the info:

Stonegate Walmart- parking lot @ 3035 Clarence Ave. S -look for a Kindersley Transport Semi  

*******8 am *******

 Stuff I was told they need desperately:

(Monetary donations are to be directed to Red Cross)

• toiletries (men, women, kids)
• diapers
• blankets
• sleeping bags
• water & juice boxes
• grad suits/dresses
• bug spray
• lip balm
• sunscreen
• baby furniture
• non-perishable food

Of course anything you can donate will help.  Seriously, take a few minutes to go through your stuff. I know I am blessed and live in abundance. So each of us went to our closets and pulled out anything we don't truly wear anymore. I also went to our linen closet and got bedding, extra blankets and towels. It felt great to create boxes and boxes for these poor souls who are living in an unfortunate limbo. I encourage everyone to try as well.

with huge thanks,

Leica

 

 

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Mom I think the world of you and it is always unconditional the love you give me and the kids. THANKS! you are so wise, and knowledgeable.

So I told you I started a new adventure, a new pledge. It is crazy but could be life changing. (hahaha)

The pledge was to do 100 layouts BEFORE buying anything new. However, some of the peeps I was scrapping with were giving me a hard time if it was fair for me to enter since I do hundreds a year and am sent stuff to work with. So instead I offered a twist to the pledge. I said I would try and do 100 projects that are not work related. This could be hard. But I am gonna try. It is a good way to use up our stuff. And I have to be honest, as I was going through my boxes of stuff I wanted to sell, I found stuff that I LOVED buying but have never used, so I started creating project kits for myself. I made almost 40 of them. So I think a large part of my battle has now been tackled. EXCELLENT!

The most important part of this pledge for me is that I don't have to reinvent the wheel. I can do simple projects, or anything I want, It can be totally taken from a sketch or however I want. That is cool. I have hundreds of pics I want in albums so it is a good time to get them there!

The very first piece I did for this is:

The next is 2 out of a series I am doing for my friends. So far I have 10 in the works and are drying. I delivered 2 today to fabulous friends, and will continue delivering as I finish them. They are totally inspired from my SHE ART course that I took from Christy Tomlinson.  LOVED it and totally recommend to anyone!!!!

I totally am blessed with amazing friends. I have been so misguided on friendships I've had the last few years, that I really felt so strongly on trying to really fine tune the ones I have and  the ones I want to nurture. So these are teeny tokens of my appreciation for them. True friendships are so valuable!!!! Can't wait to finish up the rest and get them out too!

here's another one.

well off to enjoy the rest of the day with my kids, I love when they come home. miss you jimmy! 

LOVE & HATE

this title is beyond true. Their little friendship is love and then tested all day long, then loved again, then tested. then Jager goes to school and all we hear is Jager, JAger, Jager. then whenever things go wrong, she blames jager. but then sometimes they just are so kissy face. So of course I had to document this.

Well today, still working on the tornado mess. however, I put a pathetic effort into it. Instead we had a long playdate where I definitely ate the best buns I have ever tasted. Hands down no one has come close. So thank you for not "locking the recipe in the vault", cause i am going to try and make them June. 

then came home for a quick supper and went for a little retail therapy. Actually I had to return a few things so did Jody. Then a quick Walmart trip always is good. Especially since I needed some groceries. far more fun with adult conversation.

Now back to the tornado, as you ca see I am easily distracted. oops.

I did take a gazillion pics today of all my projects I've done in the last 2 months. took me an hour so I have lot's to show in the upcoming weeks. I think Monday will be my favourite post yet. stay tuned.

 

Have a fabulous fabulous weekend. Fingers crossed for warmer weather, I want to toboggan. 

 

have you seen these yet?

a few months ago, I was back in my 2 page layout rage. It was fun to go back into that habit. I have lately been doing only 1 pagers.

 

oopsie, looks like my h was going a walking. off to fix that!

check back tomorrow for more layouts. I am hoping to make my blog filled with art and colourful fun stuff. It has been slacking awhile. Life got a pinch too busy, which is good. but Leica get to work on becoming more SIMPLIFIED. There's my pep talk for the day.

Cheers till tomorrow. :)
