This is the LO for the triple challange at Practical Scrappers this weekend. I used three ribbons, an owl, and the sketch.


here are LO's 58 and 59.

This one is from yesterday, and today I did one that I can't post yet as it is a challange for Practical Scrappers. That makes at least 57 LO's for this month. With the ones I could not post because they were for telephone scraplift and Practical Scrappers Challanges I have lost count.

It's been rainy and dreary here the last few days. Too dark to take photos of LO's. But, not too dark to scrap! So here are three more from the November C2P kit.

Here are two more LO's from the November Commit 2 Paper kit.

This is my first LO from the beautiful new Commit 2 Paper kit. Gorgeous PP and some new prima embellies await you there. I have also done two LO's and one card for upcoming challanges at Practical Scrappers. They are getting some good sponsers over there. You should check it out and enter the challange for a chance to win.

This is my LO for Practical Scrappers challange this week to use fancy punches. It is of the kids playing monopoly at thanksgiving at my sister's....a yearly tradition.
One that has gone away as both my kids and hers have gotten grown up. I miss their squeals and gales of laughter.

Here are two for Saturday. "Family" is made from a recent Scarlet Lime kit. "See no evil" is made with an older Commit 2 Paper kit which was a gift to me from my friend Jen. Thanks Jen!

Ok, you practical scrappers. I have a challange for you! Get out some of that old "out of style" pp and make a LO. Make a comment mentioning your LO and a link to see it and I will send out a little RAK to you.



Spades? is a "shameless" scraplift from my friend Valerie. One, two turned out to be an embellishment sneeze. I fought the can....and the can won. A funny story now that was not so funny then.

"Love" was done with this month's Swirlydoo's kit.
Honestly I have lost count. I believe I am close to 40 lo's on the 21st.
tell me what you think!

These are LO's 31, 32, 33. Fellowship Church is a direct scraplift from the Scarlet Lime site. "MY GUYS" is of dh, ds, and dstepson. "DO I KNOW HER?" was taken in our downtown historical area.


This is LO #30. It is of a metal statue of mustang horses that is on the grounds of the Gaylord property right across the street from us. It is a two pager, which I do very seldom anymore. When I first started scrapping I only did two page LO's. Isn't it funny how we change our ideas over time. I am doing more LO's with only one photo which used to be the norm in the magazines, but now the thing is multiple photos on either one or two page LO's-which is what I used to do. The page with only one photo is page one.

Here are number 22 and 23 of Oct. LOAD. My goal....dare I say it out loud.....is 62...an average of two a day. We will see if I can do it!Cheer me on guys!

The challange at Practical Scrappers this week is lace cardstock. Here is one I especially love. This girl is as pure as the driven snow, the sweetest personality, generous and kind and loving. The white on white was perfect to capture who she is.

October LOAD 21. DD over 20 years ago.






October LOAD 16-20. Formal night pictures #2, yes, you have seen these photos before, but this one is for the other child's album.

These are LO's 12,13,14,and 15 for the Oct LOAD challange. I used some sketches from a site that Jen discovered. The link is on her blog. The one with the photo of me is onboard ship when we were on our cruise in Sept. I am looking old. I don't like it. I don't only look old, I feel old,and I like that even less. Studio Calico kit came today so I will be playing with that for LO's for tomorrow.

Here are LOADs 8,9,10,and 11. One is of our crazy cat Smoky on top of the refridgerator. One is of ds in first grade. He was so adorable. One is of dd in preschool. Again, so very adorable. Then one dd hates, one of her with short hair. This is the only time in her life that she ever had short hair. I am glad I am a bit ahead as I usually don't get much scrap time on the weekends.
