NSD: the weekend
What I did for NSD recap
I went to my friend Kelly’s house for NSD. She is the blog
& DT coordinator for Paper Issues,
& she lives just 90 miles from me.
I got to her house late Friday night. There were 2 other
girls that came from Nor Cal, Kristi & Jen.
Kristi, Jen & Kelly were
busy Scrappin! I really just went to socialize.
So I didn’t make an absurd
amount of pages like them!
Nope I made 4 layouts and 1 card. I was more about
shopping.
We hit up the local Michaels, Joann’s, Hobby Lobby & don’t forget
the deals at big lots and Marshalls!
I toke some projects to work on, but didn’t really get to
them.
As the girls were competing, I decided I wanted to join in.
I ended up,
using bits and pieces, and all of there scraps for my projects!
{remarks from big lots}
{thickers from marshalls, sequins from hobby lobby heidi swapp banner from Kelly}
{using the lost at sea kit, polka dot & gray stripe paper from Kelly}
{heidi swapp stuff from Kelly, thickers from Marshalls, sequins from hobby lobby}
{ thickers from Marshals, gold twine from hobby lobby, MME paper and sticker from Kelly, she even trimmed and rounded the corners!}

simple scrapper: may blog hop & giveway
It’s the first Tuesday in May… and do you know what that
mans?
It’s the Simple Scrapper blog hop! The DT members get to share what
they
created with the May sketches.
Like always, I seriously loved this months sketch!
And like
always, I cannot wait to see how Jennifer tops these sketches.
When I sat down to work on these sketches, I had just gone
to the zoo.
So I had way to many photos for a 1 pager.
That’s right people, I
did a double layout.
All I did was flip the sketch upside down.
I love how that
each layout holds it own, but look great put together.
Room 580 was my mom’s hospital room; she broke her ankle a
few weeks ago.
This photo went with this paper so well.
This paper is a little
overwhelming, but with simple layers and embellishments,
the photo just about
scrapped itself.
This month’s story starter is Big Events.
I had Kevin write
me a letter telling the story of this picture.
I just love the journaling as
the background paper!
Thanks for hopping by!
I love getting to share my work with
all of you!
