Another Year older...

Wow, it is hard to believe another year has gone by! The older you become the faster the years go by...at least that's how it feels. It has been such a difficult year, but I am proud to say that we are making it through the rough times and are looking ahead to brighter days for sure! My family took me out for breakfast and baked me a Chocolate Cake, my favorite!!! My sweetie gave me the best present ever!!!! A brand new pair of Uggs!!!!

I am so into comfort, and these boots are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn!!! Thanks Sweetie! I love them!!!

My son and I were able to take time yesterday to try to take pictures for the Yearbook and by george, I think we did it!!! I just love this picture taken along the old railroad!! Isn't he just handsome!!! What do you all think, is it a keeper?

The pictures are due to the Annual Staff by November 2. I think we made it just in time!!!

Yesterday I also finished up my Scrapping the Music layout for the week. I was not pleased with it however. I typed some journaling on a transparency and it did not photograph well at all! I didn't get a chance to change it on the STM blog, but when we got home from taking pictures I went to work and stamped out my journaling instead. This is the end result and I like it so much better. You never know when the camera just won't like your work!! At least you can read the journaling now!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!!!

Hope you have a wonderful Monday!!!

Freaky Friday Challenge at AC Bailey

Friday means its Freaky Friday over at AC Bailey and it's my week to post the Freaky Friday Challenge!!! This week's challenge is easy peasy for sure!!! Do a LO using fall colors( brown, orange, yellow, green) or use Basic Grey's Indian Summer Papers, It also has to have a pumpkin

and/or leaves on it. No sweat!!! You will have until next Friday to post your layout in the AC Bailey gallery and also leave a link in the forum. I will pick a winner next Friday!!!

Here's my example:

That's Bethany in the fall of 1991. Whew that was a long time ago!!! We used to rake up all the leaves for the kids to play in. They always had so much fun!!! When we moved to a house that had no trees, we went to a friends house and bagged up some leaves for the kids to jump in! You can't mess with tradition!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Have a great day,

Kristii

Indian Summer Fun

I posted a new card class featuring Basic Grey's Indian Summer papers today on the AC Bailey Blog. I just loved working with these rich, beautiful papers. The matching embellies are fantastic too. Felt Woolies, rub-ons and Element stickers add dimension and character to each card. I also used my new Sizzix Texture Boutique to create the swiss dot papers. What a wonderful tool and so fun to play with too!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

I appreciate each and every one of you!!!

The end to a Beautiful Season

Good morning everyone!!! I hope this Tuesday finds you healthy and happy! Who can believe that it is October 20th? Where has the time gone? Soccer Season has kept us very busy and I am very sad to say that our record breaking season has ended. The playoff game was one of the hardest games of any sport I have ever witnessed. Our boys played so well!! They controlled the game and played to the best of their ability. However, things happen. Ten minutes into the game, our amazing goalie, was hit in the face with a direct shot off the foot. The poor guy went

down and did not come back into the game.

Who is that with his hands on the ball with the red jersey???

Yes, that is Benny. How many games has he played goalie......0, absolutely none, nada, never. Bless his heart for the courage he had to face the opponent!! He played his heart out. Our guys scored a goal and we were well on our way to the semi finals. Our boys controlled the whole game. They gave it everything they had!!

We were down to the final two minutes of the game and wouldn't you know Corvalis scored. Benny was devastated. We went into over-time and Corvalis scored on him again. I can't tell you the pain in my heart for my son. What a difficult defeat!!! The next day I talked to him and he said you know, "I just didn't imagine my last game in front of the net. I imagined falling to the turf in complete exhaustion after the game from running as hard and as fast as I could the entire game. It wasn't the way I wanted to end my season." My heart still aches for my son. Now it is time to focus on all the records they broke this year. It was a beautiful season!!!

Fun with Basic Grey

Today is my day to post a Technique Tuesday Tutorial at AC Bailey and this is what I came up with:

Basic Grey Thank You Shaped Card

Materials from AC Bailey:

Basic Grey Indian Summer Paper Pack

Basic Grey Take Note Journaling Cards with transparencies

Basic Grey Indian Summer Woolies

Bazzill Paper Pack – Indian Summer

Flora Doodles Paper Florettes – For the Guy

Kaiser Craft Bling

Maya Road Chipboard Letters – Noah

Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Worn Lipstick

Stickles – Fruit Punch

From my stash:

Ribbon

I started with Basic Grey Take Note Journaling Cards with transparencies for the shape of the card. I folded a piece of 6 x 12 cardstock in half and placed the fold to the left.

I traced the journaling card onto the cardstock.

I cut around the card leaving the fold intact.

Then I cut the brown edge off of the journaling card, so that, when I glue the journaling card to my cardstock base, I will have a nice red edge around my card.

I traced the inside of the brown border on a piece of white cardstock to use as the inside of my card.

I glued the Journaling Card and Transparency to the front of the card and I added some Flora Doodles, Woolies, and ribbon embellishments.

I inked The Maya Road Chipboard Alphas with Worn Lipstick

and then added Fruit Punch Stickles to create the glittered alphas.

I cut out the white card insert and glued to the inside of the card and added a Flora Doodle.

(Note: the Flora Doodles gem is green in color, so I carefully removed the green gem and

added a clear gem for color matching purposes.)

I had a blast with these beautiful goodies from AC Bailey!!!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!!!

Scrapping the Music!!!!

I had some fun with this week's song Beautiful Dawn by the Wailin Jennys!!! I used some pictures of Heidi taken during a trip to the Washington Coast for this layout. The papers are from AC Bailey's August Goodies Kit featuring Man About Town Papers by Upsy Daisy Designs!!

I thought it would be fun to use my cute little Texture Boutique to emboss the Acrylic Shape!!

I just love how it turned out!!! Isn't it the cutest little machine ever?

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!! I hope you join in the fun at Scrapping the Music!!!

Hope you have a wonderful day!!

The October DT gallery has been revealed at Little Red Scrapbook! The DT has outdone themselves this month!!! If you get a chance you might want to stop by and look at all the scrappy goodness in the gallery!!!

I had a blast with this kit. Of course, I always love Webster's Pages papers and these papers were exceptionally pretty. Sara included a sheet of Hambly birdcages which I especially loved! I totally went overboard! In 3 of my layouts this month I used pictures taken by Susan Beth Breuner. She did such a wonderful job that I had to mix the photos with this kit!! The first layout is of our kids. It has been such a joy for me to see their relationship grow into a strong friendship!!! The quote is so true- Siblings for Life...Friends forever! It's a little busy, but I love it!

This layout was already revealed for my monthly challenge and I hope you get a chance to play along!!!

This layout features a picture of Heidi taken at Nutcracker rehearsals. The girls were very fortunate to take part in University of Northern Colorado's rendition of the Nutrcracker for two years. What a wonderful experience! I wanted this layout to be whimsical and I love how it looks like she is communicating with the bird!

This layout celebrates how proud we are of Beth and Matt!!! They are just amazing! Words cannot express enough our happiness at how well they are doing on their own in Seattle!!! We miss them more than we can say!!!

The cards were very fun to make!! The birdhouses came in so handy!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

I hope you have a lovely day!!!
