Birthday Bash! (in more ways than one!)

Friday was Tyler's 11th birthday and yesterday we had a Laser Tag birthday party. He and his friends from school had a blast and somehow I got talked into 2 of the boys spending the night... So we had some pizza, they played games and stayed up late and now we're getting ready to go see a movie!


But before we head out, I wanted to share my latest creations!

My first assignment on the Gotta Pixel Creative Team is with the amazing Silvia Romeo. I chose her Birthday Bash Girls Kit to work with first. You can find it here!




Now if you follow me, you know I don't usually do super girly pages but I was looking to challenge myself with this super cute kit!

Thanks for looking!

I will be back soon with birthday party pictures!

LOs and my announcement!

Since I mentioned the speed scrap I was doing last night, I thought I'd post the finished product! :)

Journaling reads: we went out to dinner for my birthday and ordered some sushi. when the shrimp came, it had a very fancy presentation, including the fried heads! papa bet you a dollar that you wouldn't eat an antennae, so of course you had to! but he won his dollar back when he ate the eyeball...

I did my first 2-pager today!

Gina’s 12!

My boyfriend's daughter's birthday

Journaling: For Gina’s birthday, we spent the day at the resort, where Tyler and Josie were finally brave enough to go on the water slide. Once they realized it wasn’t scary, we couldn’t keep them off it!

It's a new record for me, 3 pages done just today! I am participating in Scrap Idol over at Sunshine Studio Scraps and there are some awesome participation prizes, so I'm trying to get 50 layouts done in September to collect them all... 9 down, 41 to go! But my original goal for the month was 25 so I'm on track for that.

I'm also going to have some help reaching my goal though, because I've been asked to join the Gotta Pixel Site CT team! I am one of the lucky ones who has been chosen from the many talented scrappers who participated in the Scrap Star contest over the last 4 weeks. I am super excited to start working with the wonderfully talented GP Designers!

Guess who's BrownieScraps Saturday Scrapper?

Me! :D Bet you never guessed!

And now for my news! I am proud to announce that I am a pest! lol Ramona the Pest, the amazing creator of BrownieScraps has asked me to be on her Creative Team! So expect to see lots of LOs using her gorgeous kits!

LOs and Life

Yay I finally got my header done for my blog :) I am not happy with the background still, but it will do for now...


Here are some recent Layouts:

both LOs use Spring from Heather T, sold in the Gotta Pixel store.

LOL yes I know they are both the same picture, they are having a challeng to use an "imperfect" picture. I couldn't decide which to use, so I just did both!

Hmm... I can't seem to upload what is possibly my favorite LO so far. And it's not even my kid LOL! I will try tomorrow from work where I have a much better internet connection.

Today was the first day of school, the tiger's in 5th grade! holy cow where did the time go?? It is so good to have him home after him being gone pretty much all summer, but I'm not quite ready to get back into the grind of the school year. Ah well, nothing I can do about it. Of course staying up scrapping until 2 in the morning certainly doesn't help.... So with that, I say good night!
