Daisy D's - November Sponsor

Scrapbook Playground's November sponsor is Daisy D's. I just adore the yummy colors in the My Favorite Picture kit. I love the wonderful teal and olive green colors together. I still have plenty of leftovers and I'm trying to finish up another LO, but here are the items I put together.

I just love the heart journaling box stickers. Very cool colors and lots of swirls. Perfect for my girlie girl!

I also had a pack of badge holders that I bought last year at GASC and decided to make a mini album. I think it turned out super and it holds 9 of my favorite photos. I added a touch of Basic Grey, Heidi Swapp, Prima, and Pebbles, Inc. It's great because it's small enough for my purse and the pages are protected by the badge holders.

Murder and Mayhem at SBPG

Remember Clue? I used to love playing that game as a kid. Well, now's your chance to have fun playing again. Scrapbook Playground is hosting a month long Croptoberfest. There's plenty of challenges, games, and murder! Yes, murder! And it's up to you to find the clues and decide who did it, where they did it, and with what. And there will be two grand prizes - one for the first one to solve the whodunit mystery and one with the most points accumulated during the month. So take time and pop in and join us for a fun-filled, month long Croptoberfest!

BTW, that's me Mrs. Rose - and I didn't do it! Honest!

BackPorch Memories Guest DT

If you'd like to try and be a Guest Design Team Member for BackPorch Memories then come and check out this thread: http://backporchmemories.com/mboard/viewtopic.php?t=3120 The ladies are really friendly. October is my time for GDT and I just got my package today. Can't wait to play with all the goodies - Fancy Pants, 7Gypsies, Dream Street, BG's Periphery and this adorable stamp set from BPM.

Paper Trunk

Our sponsor at Playground this week was Paper Trunk. I had the Gigi line and absolutely adored it. I ended up making 3 LOs and one altered item, but still have plenty left over - time to make some cards! Here's one of the LOs and the altered clock. Here's the link the the DT's gallery to check out everyone's creations: http://scrapbookplayground.com/pp331/showgallery.php?cat=937

On another note, I was chosen to be the Guest Design Team Member at Backporch Memories for October! Yippee! I just love Becky Fleck's Page Maps and had just completed this one for our Cherry Arte sponsor.

And last, but certainly not least, Scrapbook Playground will be hosting a month long crop - Croptoberfest. There will be challenges, games, and a little murder. Yep, murder! The DT members are changing their identities and becoming members of the CLUE gang. So come join us and try to figure out whodunit!!

Back to School - At Last

The kids were less than enthused about starting school this year. Not that they are ever jumping for joy over the prospect of a new school year, but this year was different. They were attending a new school in the public school system. They'd been going to a Catholic school previously, so this was a whole new ballgame for them. New friends, new everything. Nick has a friend in our development that used to go to his old school and is now at his new school. So he at least had a friend in the school even though they weren't in the same classroom. Poor Maria was really nervous. The best part of the day for her was the fact that she no longer had to wear a uniform and could wear "cool clothes." LOL

I loved the day on several levels. Aaaahhhhh, kids back in school, but really, the best part was sleeping in on that morning. The school day starts an hour later, plus they ride the bus and I no longer have to car pool. What's a mom to do with all that extra time? Hit the MBs of course!!

Nick was really not interested in getting his picture taken and most of the ones I took of him are either of his back or he has his eyes closed. At least Maria was willing. So this year I have a new 3rd grader and a new 5th grader. I hope and pray the school year goes well for them.

CoreyW. was tooting about her latest prize package! It was a kit from 2Scrappychicks and how awesome it was. Congrats again Corey! I think the photo on her LO is the cutest!

She also let us all in on a very cool blog.

Congrats to Elizabeth this week - I love her LO. Now, it's our job to "lift" it. So here is my take on Elizabeth's LO.

Here's the journaling if you can't read it: Everywhere we'd go people would ask if my mom was my sister. Used to bug me, but now I'm hoping i got those good genes passed on to me. She may not be mysister, but she's my Best Friend.
