Creepy Cool


Hello Hello!  Guess what?  I finally have a non-digi page to show you!  He he!
I created this for one of the newest challenges up at Candy Shoppe Designs called
Just scrap about summer and you're good!

I scrapped this photo from our family trip to Hawaii last summer.  It was a weird, rainy, and windy day...but still much better than being in Washington so we had NO complaints!
We spent some time at Pali Lookout.

Pictures from the  Pali Lookout - Oahu, Hawaii

I love learning about history so reading about the bloody battle that took place here was both intriguing and creepy at the same time.  Basically King Kamehameha I united the Hawaiian Islands.  He would go to the islands conquering them.  On Oahu, he waged a battle against the island's defenders, driving them to this area.  It was a cliffside and the strategy for Kamehameha's soldiers was to drive the native inhabitant fighters over the cliffs, killing them.  The view is spectacular.  There you will also find an artist's depiction of the battle and soldiers being driven, swords in hand, off the cliff.

You definitely have this sort of creepy feeling as you look out onto the island.  As a child I remember many ghost stories.  People definitely try not to stop here at night!

Well thanks for stopping by!  Just whip up a quick layout and link up to CSD!
Ya never know, you could be the next winner!

Crazy Face!



I was itchin' to create.  As always, Sketchy Thursdays didn't let me down!

Heidi did the sketch this week and it is fabulous...loved it :)  Check it out HERE and play with Sketchy Thursdays.  See what the DT created for your viewing pleasure.

I chose to scrap one of the funny photos from our Disneyland trip.
Little sis makes faces...lots of them.  She's one of those face-makers.  I love it!

This week is full of lots of stuff:  work, meeting, softball game, girlie fun....
It will sure be nice next Wednesday when I start my 5 day stretch of days off!
I'm hoping to get more scrap time in!

As far as scrappy shares go, I'll be able to share the TONS of creations I've done for SNR within the next month or so...stay tuned!  In the meantime, I've done lots of digi pages to get my practice in!

What do ya think?

Destination: Disneyland


Hello Friends!  I hope all is well!  I have several projects going.  It's been quiet on the Mighty Mo blogfront, but I've been creating!  Really I have!
This one's a personal creation, so I can share!

Oh how I love digi!  I plan do make a bunch of pages and put them in photo books for my family.  Now, I only have to create one and it can be duplicated!  Seriously cool!  You REALLY should look into digi my friends!  Ha ha!  I know, I won't shut up about it!

Here we are at the airport, anxiously awaiting takeoff for Disneyland!
Okay, I'm just realizing I'm going to re-titile this: Destination: Disneyland! (Way more exciting.)
I'll have to go in and edit it...takes only a couple minutes and BAM..I'm done!

Most of the items used in this page were freebies or purchased for REALLY CHEAP!


And here's another digi creation I'm going to print and pop into my Disneyland Mini Album.  I'm going to size this down to 4x4 so I can fit all these great photos in my mini which is quickly turning out to be a hybrid one!  It feels like I'm cheating when I'm done with a page!  :)  Too funny.

We were being clowns at the entrance to Disneyland.  Check out my sister and her boyfriend with their prom picture pose (top left corner)!  And my fave is the one of my Dad and Hubby at the bottom right hand corner.

Well, hope you had a laugh.  I sure do everytime I see these pictures!
We had a blast and I'll never forget it!

So how busy has it been for you lately?
Has life speeded up or slowed down?
What plans do you have on the horizon?
Catch me up!

Ninja Master Ally


I tried blogging by email and only got the picture above to post.  Oh well, now I'm back from my trip to California and I'm partly relieved to be back home but missing the sunshine greatly!

As you can see...I FINALLY got to meet my girl Ally!  She is as awesome, sweet, friendly and gorgeous as I'd pictured!  I think my little Gabe has a crush....LOL!  He DEFINITELY likes his girls older!

We met up for din din at Cafe Coyote in what's called Old Town in San Diego!  Love that place!  I had the most gigantic margarita EVER!  Hmmm...no pictures of that...must've been way to preoccupied to take pics!  Excellent atmosphere and service! 

I've got tons more to share!  Trying to get back into the swing of things!  Lots of stuff in the works...I can't believe it!  It's going to be a busy summer!

Hugs,
Mo

Disneyland Adventure!

Photobucket

I know...I know...it's been a long time....
I'll make up for it...with THIS POST!

I've been creating for Scrapbook News and Review, so I've got TONS of projects to share later!

In the meantime, I've somehow managed to fit in some mini book creating!....JUST BECAUSE!

We're planning on going to Disneyland!  To prepare, I've created this premade mini which I'll be taking with me on our vacation.  I'm planning on journaling in it so I don't have to do it later!

I had my scrumptious Pink Ninja Addicts Kits to use which were SO PERFECT for the feel I wanted for my mini album...bright, whimsical, girly, with a little bit of edge.  The colors are so perfect for Disney!



Inside I've got some real fun goodies to share!
Come take a look!

Photobucket

I used a bunch of transparencies in my album.  I jazzed this one up with a couple rub-ons.  I also used an envelope here.  It was pretty long, about 9 inches tall and so I folded the bottom under to create a pocket which I could tuck in journal cards, calendars and tags.  These items can be journaled on, added to a page later or kept in the pocket.

Photobucket

Here's the other side of my envelope.  Cool huh?  I left some pages for journaling, like the printed paper with the lines.  I could either journal on my envelope or add a photo here.

Photobucket

Here's another section to which I added a transparency.  I left this one blank and later I may add something to it.  I HAD to add some girly lace to the edge of my square piece of cardstock.

Photobucket

I glued an index card and tag to the other side of that piece and jazzed up my envie with a journaling card and canvas tape.  LOVE THIS ENVIE!

Photobucket

A pretty simple spread here...likely I will Pizazzifiy it later.

Photobucket

Oh how I love these pages!  Another awesome envelope and pretty chipboard tag.


Photobucket

Some chipboard pages were added to serve as journaling pages.

Photobucket

I love arranging the layers so you can peek at things to come....


Photobucket

More lovely lace and trim here!

Photobucket

I folded another envelope to create a pocket. These calendar cards were stamped.  Later I plan to add the date and an "X" to mark the date of the journal entry.  I can then journal behind this card or add it to a page with my photo.

Photobucket

More fun pockets!  I love libary cards/pockets.  They're so fun.


Photobucket

I found an old die cut I accidentally misted on.  I added some strips to the chipboard tabbed card here.  I can journal on them later.

Photobucket

The back of that die cut was pretty boring so I misted it and inked the edges.  Beautimous!

This beautiful girl is my new love!  I'll love her even more when I add some awesome family photos!

Hope you enjoyed peeking!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
