Pretty peekies

Thursday I got my August design team kit from Tidbitz in time and I couldnt wait to dive in. It was perfect timing since I was spending most of the day Friday cropping with my mom. I cant tell you how nice it was to spend the day with my mom, my grandma and my daughter getting crafty and talking. It was very much needed. I snapped these peekies for my fellow Tidbitz members who I know are chomping at the bit for a glimpse of what is to come....

 

I cant wait to share these projects! I love everything I made with it. I havent scrapped with paper made by this company in a long time and it has completely renewed my love for them. I cant wait to dig into them more. Heck I think I want more of THESE papers as well. Always leave them wanting more.... right?

Im hoping to get to craft more tonight too! Its been so EVILLY hot that my poor air conditioner is struggling to keep up. My scrap room in the basement is NICE and COOL. If only I can get Aubrey to play too. I think its time to let her play with the inkpads and the stamps again :)

Dream in Color

Oh holy fricking gorgeousness!! Have you seen the July kit from Tidbitz In Time? I think it is one of my favorite kits EVER (and that is saying a ton because back in the diz-ay I was a bit of a kit whore) The papers are from Girls Paperie and Prima. Its full of sequined butterflies, prima flowers, flocked alphas, pearls, lace, tinsel, sparkly chipboard and beaded gem sprays! Check out this amazing kit!

 

I made 6 layouts, 3 tags and 1 card with this kit. I just couldnt get enough!! Here are a few of my projects.

 

Ive already shared the card and the tags..... and I'll be posting the rest of the projects in a few days. In the meantime get your keyster over there and get that kit!!

Insomnia

Another night of insomnia seems to be upon me. I am usually a night owl but my lack of sleep the last few weeks is getting ridiculous. I find myself exhausted but unable to sleep. Its getting really annoying. I have the creative itch but  I cant sneak back down to my scrap room because I wont hear the baby. (who has been waking constantly as well) So here I sit watching Veronica Mars on netflix (never watched it when it was on) and playing games on facebook.

and of course pinning things

Im trying to think about the GOOD things going on. . Its almost farmers market season. My herb garden is starting to pop up in large numbers. We get to go to the pool twice this week. Aubrey's personality is blossoming and she is cracking me up. I got to scrap a LOT this week. I got to see a LOT of my family on Father's Day

Thinking of good things helps :)

Here is a simple layout I made a few days ago using Sassafras Applejack. It was still sitting on my desk from last week's card-a-polozza

I also have a couple peekies for the oh so pretty July Tidbitz in Time kit!! I have 5 layouts and 1 card done so far! I LOVE LOVE this kit.

 

Oh well. Its almost 6am and I need to sneak back into bed before its time for my husband to get up for work. Fingers crossed Aubrey sleeps in tomorrow so Im not a walking zombie mommy.

Wonderful weekend

It was another great weekend! Friday my sister in law and I took Aubrey and my nephew to the ZOO! It was Aubrey's first time and she had a BALL. Its a small zoo (they have no monkeys WTF) but there was enough to see with the itty bitties. They cheered at the animals, played on the playgrounds and had a big lunch in the sunshine. Here they are saying YAY as the penguins swam by. They were sleeping before we got out of the parking lot.

Then Friday night my husband took me to dinner and a comedy club. I ate too much, drank too much and laughed too much. It was a perfect night until Aubrey had a meltdown and I had to go home. :(

Saturday we spent the night playing games with family and Sunday I got my SCRAP on. I even got an hour by myself. Imagine that! I spent that time doing layouts for the upcoming Tidbitz in Time reveal. Here are a few sneaky peeks

 

I so cant wait to dive back into this kit! Its gorgeous! Everything you see is kit except the denim. I tore the rear out of a pair of jeans last week so I decided to cut them all up and play with them. :) Im sure you'll be seeing a lot of denim from me this month
