I can share another fun layout I did for SNR :)  This was for the 4th of July call featured in the June issue!

The mag is FILLED with such eye-candy you can't imagine!  I love how the projects are a little edgier than what you find in the existing print mags with the big names.  This mag is for the everyday scrapper and I LOVE that about Scrapbook News and Review!  You can look through the pages and find things published by your peers.

The newest issue is OUT!

Last year the family went out to Deception Pass and had a fun picnic.  Granted, I wore a jacket and thermal underwear...but we all had great fun and THATS what counted!  I couldn't pass up the opportunity to catch all the kids sitting on a log....oh wait, I think I made them do it...lol!  Anyway, it made for a great photo and they were such great sports to listen to me!

I used a sticker for the title "de-light".

Speaking of stickers!  Scrapbook News and Review is featuring an event for SRM Stickers today!

Uh-huh!  Free and fun ideas for your viewing pleasure...all in our forum!

We lovingly crafted some eye-candy for your enjoyment and I hope you take a peek!

Your's truly posted a tutorial on a photo mat :)

Give us some love by stopping by!

Also!!!!!  This weekend August 20, there will be 2 more manufacturer events you will NOT want to miss!  I have been slaving soooo hard.  I contributed to ALL 3 events this week...phew!  So you'll have to check out my labor of love this weekend as well....featured are:

Yikes! Ugh......life has taken over and so has work!

I've been so busy that I forgot to share my layout!

But, interestingly enough, my layout will explain why!

The challenge this week at All About Me is to CELEBRATE THE POSITIVE.

I chose to scrap about my choice to focus on living life and living in the moment.

I've also made a promise to document my family as we celebrate the moments of day-to-day life.

I've captured many trips, adventures and celebrations on camera this year and have shared them through my blog.  Now I can go back and start scrapping the memories so my family can look back and live the great moments again!

So, link up at AAM!  THERE'S A PRIZE!

There's also a crop going on there going on till August 25th!  I've got a couple crop challenges up and I'm offering a RAK for one of the challenges!!!!  There are many prizes to be won so check out the crop HERE!  SERIOUSLY!  You gotta play along....the odds are good with prize winnings ladies!!!

I'll see you there!

Hugs,

MO

P.S.

The winner of the Simply Obsessed Birthday Blog Candy I offered on my blog was just drawn (sorry so late)............

Comment 9 Krystle said...I love your pinwheel!

I'll draw again if  Krystle doesn't want the prize!

Birthdays and Selfishness!

The next challenge (CHALLENGE #23)  is up at All About Me!  This one is about MEMORABLE BIRTHDAYS...scrap your best birthday memory!

The AAM gals were lucky enough to get a wonderful sticker prize pack from

SRM stickers to create!

I loved using them...so easy.  They blend so nicely into your layout and, though I haven't done this yet...I'm sure they'll look awesome on cards!!!!

A little bit ago, I shared some photos from a hot summer day....where the kids and I celebrated Derrick's (my cousin) brithday!  That's my latest most memorable birthday ever.  It was such a great feeling seeing the smiles on their faces.  I love these kids more than anything!

FYI, the layout was created with embellishments from the Mommy's Little Monster Kit by the Pink Ninja Addicts (big fan here)...and some extra Sassafras Monstrosity stuff I had hoarded!

As you can see, I'm REALLY trying to use up my stuff!

And next to share, I've got the DT layout I created for The Pink Ninja's new prompt,

SELFISH!

Just scrapped a fun pic of me!

Sometimes I'm selfish....

I'm selfish with my food. Sometimes, I don't even share with the kids....SERIOUSLY...they'll eat their own meal and want my food whey I finally come home from work just because they like to eat off of peoples plates! So YES....I say NO to them...sometimes!

After a hard day at work...ya JUST WANNA EAT FROM YOUR OWN PLATE without pausing to feed a little one who ALREADY ate a couple hours before you!

Ugh!  Monday night Hubby got some yummy teriyaki and I got home...pretty late...after 10 pm...and I was STARVING!  Of course....as always...Gabe starts whining about wanting some teriyaki cuz he's "weely weely hungwee"!  I told him to go and ask his dad cuz I was already commited to eating my overdue dinner!!!!  Sigh......

Please tell me you're selfish too??????

Ha ha...I just came back from a bachelorette party in Vancouver B.C....lots a fun with girls....I'll share photos after I clear it with the persons in the photos....if not...I'll just share some Mo photos....yah yah...kinda boring...but then what else can I share??????

Hugs,

Mo
