simple scrapper: october sketches

Hello October…

 

It’s that time again where I share my monthly work for
Simple Scrapper.

As always I loved Jennifer’s sketches. She never seems to
disappoint. In fact I used 3 of the 5 sketches this month! Scroll on down to
check them out!

 

I haven’t been using my Studio Calico kits lately, but I
finally managed to use them this month. I love when sketches, papers and photos
come together with very little effort. This photo was taken in Canyonville OR
on our first west coast trip 0f the year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really love how each layout used PL cards. I love PL cards
but don’t do paper PL. I know I will be using the October sketches for quite
some time!

 

Thanks for Stopping by today be sure to visit my other
Simple Scrapper Team mates today and see their variation’s of the sketches!

Everyday Life 2-Week Day Notes

instafriday: week 39

 

It’s been another wild and crazy week here. I got home from Minnesota
at 2am Cali time Sunday/Monday. Whatever day you want to call it I’m tired! It
has literally taken me all week to recover. I think I’m home for a month. A
whole month! I don’t even know what to do with myself. So if you haven’t tuned
in since last week, make sure to scroll down I blogged a whole bunch sharing
all my photos from the past week and a half.

 

So good to be home!

Monday Margarita, but we didn’t have any, what bums are we

Spotted 3 times Tuesday morning. It definitely is football
season

Halloween is here! Yay target

This is only 1 of MANY harvest of my tiny pepper tree

Seriously I go to target to kill some time, and this is what
happened

My little guy in my new bedding that I didn’t need

Chic Tags limited edition kits go on sale TODAY. $16.99 +
S/H

Beef and vegetable slow cooker meal from Fresh N Easy! Its what’s
for dinner

mall of america:

 

I can’t even begin to explain this place. I don’t even want
to tell you how many times I got lost! And I don’t get lost in a mall! The mall
itself is actually REALLY overwhelming. I remember when they built it; I wanted
to go so bad. When I was 18 I drove around it after a race on the way to the
airport. It was BIG. I will admit if I were still in my early 20’s I would be
hitting that place up all the time.

Not sure of the store, but I had to get a photo. I use this
word all the time and Kevin hates it

Go figure I fly to Minnesota, and my rental car is a white
ford

What trip is complete with out a photo of Starbucks

The floor at Pinkberry, inside of Macy’s

I have to admit, I have never been inside a LEGO store.
Wholey Moley. Mind Blown

I just had a taste at Pinkberry, I have one down the streett.
But I guess in the Midwest they aren’t as popular, and it was a big deal for
the girls to go.

Somebody just might get this VW LEGO Bus for Xmas

I think the shark was from the aquarium, yep that’s right
there is am aquarium in the basement of the mall

It’s the shrimp from Bubba Gump’s

 

 

 

Scrapfest2013:

I cannot begin to tell you how much fun I am having! Yay
Scrapfest.

I hope to come back next year and see all the wild craziness
again! Let me tell you how hard it is to spend 3 days in a mall and not be able
to shop! We are so busy with “Make N Takes” & Demos we hardly had time to
pee! Seriously! I lost my voice after the first 3 hours working!

 

CHA Pig even took some sights in at Scrapfest

Demoing the evolution, embossing napkins with the embossing folders

Becky Higgins designed this PL kit just for Scrapfest

I collected a bunch of goodies to make a mini of the trip

Jennie and me

Tea! Do I need to say more?

Demos and “Make N Takes” at We R Memory Keepers

Look who I ran into, fellow Chic Tag DT member Sherri Funk.
And she didn’t even attend Scrapfest

instafriday: week 38 part 2

Yesterday I flew out to Minnesota to work the Lifestyle
Crafts booth in the Mall of America for Scrapfest 2013.

I blogged from my phone yesterday so I was only able to
upload a few pics. Here are the rest of what has gone down.

 

Good bye little guy I will miss you

Scrapfest goodies

Before I left town, I stopped at the pharmacy, they were
stocking up for football I’m sure

The line that made me miss my flight

Good Morning MLPS lets get this day started {it was like 5am
my internal clock time}

Hello Twin Cities YES this mug jumped in my hands!

The view from my room

These may have been purchased for someone whose middle
finger is more popular than his face

REALLY? This was behind the bathroom door in the Hotel

Instafriday

It's been a crazy long week for me! Last Friday I was in Oregon. Today in Minnasota!

I'm here for scrapfest at the Mall of America, put on by Archivers! I'm in the Lifestyle Crafts both! If your here stop by and say hi!

on the road: september part 2

This month I am gone a lot. But this time I am traveling for
different reasons. When we left last week for Oregon we were on are way to the
races. So now that the race is over we have to hurry home so I can fly out to Minnesota
& Kevin to Ohio. Here is a brief run down from Oregon to Cali.

 

Jager and I went shopping, I love this little guy

Spotted Lifestyle Crafts at Michaels

Poor little guy, I made him dress up at petco, my little
yoda

Saw this beauty and had to get a pic

I kitted in the motor home.

I skinned my knee in the motor home on the dash

Best sandwich ever! Phillips Farm

And the flowers there…

Die fly!

on the road: september

Howdy!

Kevin and I are currently in Woodburn Or. for a race.

We left Wednesday late afternoon, and stayed at the delta
house.

We woke up early Thursday and drove the second leg into Or.

Here are a few photos of what that looked like

Not even 3o miles out of town and this little girl is all
snuggly

Made a stop in Kettleman city for gas, dinner and a personal
pit stop the sun was starting to lower and I captured it behind the signature
crossed palms at In-N-Out

Looking in my review: this is what I see

OMG these are delish. Salted Carmel cake pop

A little travel humor

My favorite view at 5:56 am, it saddens me that summer is
coming to an endand so is daylight savings

Happy and sad at the same time. This could be my very last morning
bun from Starbucks {I am not a fan of the new pastries}

Good Morning Sun {taken at 7:19am} in YOLO

We picked up our motorhome in Medford Or. and the dogs were
right at home; do they look comfy to you?

instafriday: week 37

It’s Friday the 13^th!

Do you have anything special planned????

I don’t even really think twice about the date,

except for a
little chuckle!

 

Anyways the week has come to an end, and I have lots of
photos to share… Actually the week started of not so great, and I was kinda in
a funk. I finally worked through it {or shall I say slept through it} and got
my act together. I finished up my Sep assignments well all for one team that I haven’t
even got the assignments yet…lol

Anyways I am currently in Oregon, so lots of “on the road”
pics were taken

Ok ok I know you only care about the photos well here they
are!

 

I received my DT box of goodies from Pretty Little Studio:
Thanks Melissa!

Jager loves his window down; he really truly is a little
sightseer, or sight to see?

I was in a groove and made some layouts that weren’t assignments,
good thing, cause I was able to fill in last min for someone.

I’m a winner! Crazy huh! Thanks Deena Rutter & Jeryn for
the awesome contest

A Pretty Little Studio Color Challenge

Just an xtra layout I made, I told ya I was in a groove

On the infamous grapevine, the main exit from So Cal.

This layout was actually an assignment!

Welcome to the

 Samantha Walker

Creative Crafters Team Blog Hop!
You should have arrived here from Daniela's blog!


 

This month's theme is Mix and Match Collections

I mixed Giddy Up with Traditions, to make this paper cone
wreath.

I used a 6x6 paper pack from each collection along with Element
Stickers

and a piece of 12x12 Antique Tile to cut the base for the
wreath.

 I also used some fall
leaf doilies I found at the dollar store last year.

I absolutely love how these
2 collections mixed so perfectly.

You would never know how different the two are.
