Goooooooood Morning! Goooooooood Morning! Thank you, friends, for stopping by to see what's up with me.  Today is FRIDAY and I have so many fun & exciting things going on.  For starters BSD's football season has begun and besides our big screen in the living room there is no other place I enjoy watching football other than my CC's [that's my Canon Camera] view finder.  This year it's offense and defense.  He's excited and enjoying it so far so... that makes "the momma" happy so very happy!

I am also redecorating my bedroom [with the help of my nanny k...thank goodness] and tinkering with my tools-skill saw, drill, sander etc.....  I'll post what I am currently working on----LOVE IT---right when I am finished.

There is a whole lot more that I'll report on but today's featured story are the LAYOUTS I recently completed.  Yeh me!  I was fortunate to take a road trip with friends to Archivers in Houston.  We had a grand 'ol time.  Once we shopped until we dropped we booked a suite and scrapped scrapped scrapped.  Here are a few

...Scrap the Boyz!

Hi...thought I was gone, huh?  It has been a while.  I don't know what gets into me sometimes;  every day I think about my blog....I visit others and have the best of intentions.....I keep saying "tomorrow".  There is a word for that [PROCRASTINATION]!

Anyway....I have been doing a little bit of scrap'n and here is my latest.  I love the "SCRAP THE BOYS" site and July's challenge involved TAPE AND THE WORD PLAY.  This is some really old paper that came in a tablet (go meeeee- still trying to stay on a budget and use what I have).  I used duct tape (gray tape) to spell play and it's in a few other places.  You will also find some very old rub-ons!  And yes.....I used my dremel to distress the edges - I tore- crumpled and stapled....all signature techniques...

Thanks for looking and check out SCRAP THE BOYS.  

[my 1st Inspired Blueprints l/o]

WOO HOO!  I have soooooo been wanting to participate in an online scrapbooking challenge and I can now scratch that off my to do list!  I did one.  I chose Inspired Blueprints because I thought the full page of circles would be a huge challenge.  Well I was wrong....it was an EVEN BIGGER CHALLENGE than I thought.  My head was bursting with ideas; so much so that I almost could not concentrate.....it was like a circuit overload.  It was so overwhelming that I settled for the exact .... 9 circles on a page.  This was freaky for me....I usually just "roll" with what is in my head.  For some reason I felt like I had to stay in the box.  I am going to do another one and maybe another and another and another until that feeling is gone............  hahahahaha

My take on Inspired Blueprints Sketch #59

I had to do a 2 page 12 x 12 l/o so I made up the other side....

I used American Crafts "boo" collection mixed with some The Yellow Bicycle "frightful"  rub-ons and a lil bit of this and a lil bit of that............

...peace be among us!
