It was finally my turn to issue a scrappy challenge over at Two Peas.  My challenge, which closes on Tuesday, is to document a day in your life.  It can be as extensive or brief as you like.  I used my pictures from last week Monday’s a week in the life to document an ordinary day in our life.  and I know, grammatically it should probably be a day in our lives, but really, it seems as though there is only one life and we all share it- but I digress.  I started with the morning coffee, followed through breakfast, lunches, drive time, my work, my lunch, pick ups, activities, dinner and ended with bedtime.  I love these coordinated bright papers by Tricia Chapman, and kept it pretty simple by using a grid pattern with frames by Jen Martakis.

you can see the close ups of the pages and complete credits here.

The next layout is from Last week’s releases by Vinnie Pearce.  Love love love these rich blues. love. and Jordan’s funny faces make me smile.

also from last week, I whipped up a few quick and easy hybrid cards with the help of Deena Rutter’s digital die cut files and papers from Carina Gardner of DHD.

and last little scrappy bit to share, I whipped up this little layout using goodies from Miss Mint’s latest releases over at Peppermint Creative.

credits here. and yes. those are marshmallows in my coffee ;)

and I wanted to share this card that I got in the mail. I have a pal Tina, who is from Hawaii but lives in Washington.  We “met” after Noel took Flat Joscie for a visit to her LSS.  Tina came by my blog and we’ve been online pals ever since.  On her last trip home, we were able to hook up for a craft-mance, as her DH called it. hee hee! Tina, FabuLisa and I hit a few shops and enjoyed counter burgers together, it was a great estrogen-fest!  But anyway. She won a give away on my blog a while back and sent me this stunningly gorgeous card. I LOVE IT!  check it, isn’t she awesome?!

Joscie, rhymes with bossy~

me: Did you know this was your very first bear?

he: no

me: Aunty Paula gave it to you when you were a brand new itty bitty baby!

he: i don’t remember

me: I have pictures, do you want to see?

he: YEAH!

so i go searching.  they’re labeled in folders by year and then by month within the year. aww, what a sweet happy over exposed baby. what was I trying to blind him with the flash on my sony2 megapixel?

oh I am a happy baby. but you’re killing me with that flash mom.  you really should figure out how to take pictures with out it. but i still love you…

Okay. now I’m getting a little annoyed. I see the way you’re looking at my baby. don’t even think about it.

and this last one on the right: If you try to take my baby, I’ll knock you out! (ps, he’s a lefty too)

oh.my.gosh. we laughed so so hard when that picture came up.  which then lead into watching baby videos.  Janel was disappointed at the brevity of the videos.  I had to explain to him, sorry son, but 9 years ago, I was shooting with a Sony Mavica recording on a 1.44 floppy. I was excited to get the 15 seconds of video! hee hee. funny how times and technology change so quickly.

Tonight at bedtime, as I walked Jordan to his bed, he asked me:

Jordan: Mom when were you a baby?

me: a long time ago.

Jordan: How come you don’t have any baby pictures?

me: I do, do you want to see them?

Jordan: yes!

Jalen, shouting from his bedroom: They’re in black and white!

me: NO.THEY.ARE.NOT!

okay now. if your baby pictures are in black and white, I am not saying anything against you. but really. Jalen was serious. silly child.

so anyway. we’ve been all about the baby pictures this week and then what do I see on Two Peas Digi Tuesday?  this absolutely yummy baby boy kit.  I love the blue, green and white.  The hot air balloons and clouds? yes please.  elephants and polka dots? yes and yes please again!
