I had lots of trouble finding the chipboard pieces I wanted for it so lastnight I decided to just make my own. I'm relatively happy, I saved myself at least $10 in doing it myself and Grace looked pretty happy when I hung it on her wall! I also incorporated the ScrapFIT workout #26 and added lots of bling and stickles on there!Erica912http://www.blogger.com/profile/09123992943652887445noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722336563764304349.post-63479099469029907372010-05-24T10:55:00.000-07:002010-05-24T11:01:33.901-07:00A Mommy "oops"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDDowtNw_QHb56-PyY7vx3F-ukruoXWLh47Uu-OeRWD5xTji2k98-RxrD_pvI-asHR70Luy8cHV_raL7_ZdBEmu4JSmPSpVcK3MubGCgacy4qGV2i6itCUx2WJ2sbjI0MEz8Pac7jxSnG5/s1600/P1040513.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 192px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDDowtNw_QHb56-PyY7vx3F-ukruoXWLh47Uu-OeRWD5xTji2k98-RxrD_pvI-asHR70Luy8cHV_raL7_ZdBEmu4JSmPSpVcK3MubGCgacy4qGV2i6itCUx2WJ2sbjI0MEz8Pac7jxSnG5/s400/P1040513.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474896787497496434" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">I will admit that my photo taking skills on doubles really suck - this is honest to god straight IRL.

We've got a conditional offer so just need to get our financing sorted out officially and get the inspection. Im nervous that it won't work out even though I know that it should as my dad said he would co-sign for us. Our life is going to change so much that whenever I think about it I have tears come to my eyes, it's going to be so great for the kids and us! <div><br /></div><div>Scrapping however may be taking a fair bit of a back seat for a while between us moving, me working, school and us having to finish the house we are in and get it on the market and/or rented out. Yikes!! </div><div><br /></div><div>Just thought I would share.. And I keep thinking of all of the new and wonderful photo ops I will have in having such an awesome yard for my kids!</div>Erica912http://www.blogger.com/profile/09123992943652887445noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722336563764304349.post-22820266675069139052010-05-08T22:01:00.000-07:002010-05-08T22:05:43.373-07:00Holy smokes the scrap muse strikes again!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3lcdD1j0WVFPNKoTCrvcW0NUR_A3WWnKqXmBiT5G6WwMb_GyEcJnXyoeIoFmhRwdacuIQmPqJjVd15LEVbf99YANWCd8iC_sCdIP4TB5KoONwxqz0boddVlafWiSeunPYr5589fSjAMcQ/s1600/P1040462.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 395px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3lcdD1j0WVFPNKoTCrvcW0NUR_A3WWnKqXmBiT5G6WwMb_GyEcJnXyoeIoFmhRwdacuIQmPqJjVd15LEVbf99YANWCd8iC_sCdIP4TB5KoONwxqz0boddVlafWiSeunPYr5589fSjAMcQ/s400/P1040462.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469131722408672306" /></a><br />Every time I "see" an opportunity to scrap I keep trying to plan it out to maximize my time seeing as it's so hard to find these days between work, school and now the house hunting we've added to the mix.

So after much online browsing at projects and paper lines I had pretty much decided I would get some Lush. I took the kids today to visit my parents and my dad was nice enough to babysit while my mom and I went over to the LSS. Go figure she had some Lush but not in the blue that I wanted so I ended up checking into other options.<div><br /></div><div>I thought Basic Grey would be a great choice being that I could just buy all the lovely extras that coordinate and go to town but she didn't have any origins and I wasn't sold on any of the other lines.. So more browsing and I found MME Life Stories.. I don't know why I didnt think of it before but it is perfect and my table is already covered in paper and random other things. I haven't even printed photos yet but have done the cover for my first album and am in love!</div><div><br /></div><div>Can't help but love it when things just fall in to place like that!</div></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRnkZbqGdaqUeNNRTRLVrlFn-ZecKo-Q7A2IpIRwsghyIZO2K2_D7l1T6L54vNKMTIEpBwANkD1iu62JyjrbdhWgryH5DCaSExAXtVN7WjDF4GbAi0orLR7-q8GPGwmso9cSm9VR4SsHH4/s1600/IMG_8903edited2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRnkZbqGdaqUeNNRTRLVrlFn-ZecKo-Q7A2IpIRwsghyIZO2K2_D7l1T6L54vNKMTIEpBwANkD1iu62JyjrbdhWgryH5DCaSExAXtVN7WjDF4GbAi0orLR7-q8GPGwmso9cSm9VR4SsHH4/s400/IMG_8903edited2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453502929377945634" /></a><br /><div>Aren't they so cute?
