Oh me, oh my, there she is!! Peeking at me from her hiding place in her cozy little box, which was delayed for some reason on it's trip home to me...Hey there P-dub. Wanna come out and play?
My copy of 
Photos like this one, on a salad page. Typical Ree humour, and I love it. No boring old cookbook here!! And the artwork for the title pages is so...Pioneer Woman. It's like her blog popped off my computer screen and landed on this book.
And there are photos of her family, and her "punks" like this one here. There are probably thousands of photos like this one on her blog (
And the second kit is from 
For my second layout I used the font
So thanks for looking, and always happy scrapping!!
I don't actually favour blues that much in my scrapping, especially for photos of Rayna, but this layout came together fairly easily for me, and I just love the elements in this kit! I had such a hard time choosing which ones to use! I kept adding them and then deleting them... This is the result! I'm very happy with this layout! The font on the star for the date was 
This is the second layout I did, I just love craft papers! The cluster frame over top of the blue one is in a freebie add on 
I took Chase to preschool for the first time today, and did this layout the same day so I wouldn't forget the details! The title and wordart are included in the kit (the title is using the alpha) and the journalling font I used was 
Aren't all those fuzzy elements so cute??! Here is my first layout of Chase playing on his swing in the backyard:
and my second layout, Chase barely a week old:
The date on the photo was done with the 
And this one is obviously the date they go on before Jacob phases for the first time...I'm so excited for the movie. I've decided not to go on opening night though, as I really don't want to go see it with throngs of 13 year 
And these ones I thought were cute too. A girl needs to have some color options depending on what she's wearing right? And she can never have too many shoes. I've actually been really good, I haven't bought her shoes at all, these may be the first 
And here is my first layout, it's a photo of the original farmhouse of my great grandparents in Alberta. The font I used was 
And this is one of my favorite layouts to date, my interview with Chase! I found the challenge and idea for this on the 
And here is my first layout, a very special photo, Rayna's first tooth! I just love the papers in this kit. I think I may be a paper addict. I love the colors and grunge effects. Stacey you are an artist!! I used the 
And this one is Chase's first trip to the dentist (yes, I know he's 4!!). He has perfect teeth despite my negligent attitude towards taking him to the tiny teeth program. (I mean, those teeth are going to fall out anyways, right?? I kid. Maybe. hehe.) I was so proud of him, he did fantastic, he was totally excited to open his mouth for them and everything, it was so cute. I used the 
And here is Rayna again, chewing on the baby swing at the park, I swear she's part dog, she is chewing on EVERYTHING!! So gross, but I had to take a picture because she looked so funny. I love those sparkles!! And the clouds, and I love the colors of this layout. I used the other alpha from the kit on this one. 
And here is my first layout, I just loved that gameboy console, as Chase and his cousins are always playing gameboys. It's so cute. I'm really amazed at how good they are at playing them, even though they're so young! I just love the alpha in this kit too.
Here is my smart little boy learning and practising his letters! I just had to get a shot of him with his practise board, with all the letters he'd done with the dry erase marker. He's trying so hard! They need to know how to write their name and the alphabet before kindergarten, so we're really trying to focus on helping him get these into his brain! The font I used was 
And of course, could I really let a kit go by and not do a Twilight layout?? Hah! I don't think so lol. I have Twilight in so many different formats it's not even funny. And at first I thought the kite didn't really fit into my layout, but then it made me think of flying away, and escaping, which is what Twilight does for me. So now, I think it totally fits. The font I used was 
This kit is only $3 at the 
I totally am having one today. Anyone want a 4 year old?? Chase has suddenly turned into this defiant little boy, tells me no to everything, and he cries at the drop of a hat...I seriously don't know what to do with him anymore, or what has brought it all on!! I spend ALL DAY entertaining him, we bake cakes, read stories, do puzzles, build train tracks, make playdough, practice writing his letters...he probably gets more one on one attention than any kid out there. And trying to do anything fun with him usually ends up with me yelling at him, totally frustrated because the whole point was to have fun and his behavior always ruins it. Are all 4 year olds like this, or is it just mine?? Eerg. It's no wonder my husband comes home to this everyday.
On a different note, I actually managed to touch my sewing machine yesterday! I dusted it off, cleared off my sewing table of all the junk and clutter that has taken hold of the surface, dug out some of my scraps and made these two blocks:
Now I think it's quite obvious that the brown one seems a little bit skewed. Granted I haven't touched my sewing machine in months, but I didn't think I could bugger up a 9 patch! I'd like to claim that it's the way I took the photo, or even maybe the way I cut the material, and it's merely illusion that makes it look like it's wonky. I don't know for sure. 
What I do know is that this orange one looks better to me. I hope Amanda Jean likes them! Oh, did I forget to mention why I suddenly broke scrapbooking stride and started sewing again? Well, I saw 
I also finished reading Silver Birches, I'll have the review up on 
I have to admit I got the idea for this layout from a photo of Twilight I saw somewhere (and I don't remember where) but Edward was sort of erased from the photo. Since New Moon is right around the corner, I decided to do this layout. (Anyone else as excited as I am for the movie to come out?) I seriously don't want to see the movie with a bunch of 13 year olds though. Bad enough watching Twilight and during the kiss scene they were all squealing, it was so annoying. I don't remember ever being like that as a teenage girl, but maybe I was and just didn't realize! The font I used was 
This is quite possibly my favorite layout, I just love that red paper, it really brings out her eyes lol. The feathers were perfect, and I love those ribbons too! Also, it's nice that the alpha is included in metal and in white, great for different layouts.
Ooooh, and who could forget the Volturi?? I realized after I did this one that I forgot the blond one (not sure which characters play who, and I didn't care enough to go looking hehe). I know the bottom two are Jane and Alec, and the top one is Aro, but is cloaked guy Caius, or Marcus? Very sinister. AUGH! 39 more days til New Moon. 
And here is the whole kit! It really is great, and I know the other girls on the CT did layouts that didn't have anything to do with Twilight, so this kit is very versatile as well. And of course, the kits are on sale for the first 48 hours for only $3, so go grab this kit (click on the preview to be directed to the store)!!
