Saturday posting!

 Well here's the weekend again!  I'm counting down the days now until I get surgery on my foot.  Had a little snag - when I went for the doctor's clearance found out I had a UTI - had to get a script and go back for another test but this one came out ok.  Go for pre-op with surgeon on Monday and hopefully surgery on Friday!  But tomorrow I'm working and still have a couple more days I have to work this week too.  Had a great day with hubby - drove through Medina, Bandera and then up to Kerrville for lunch stopping at a few antique store along the way. 
But here's what I have today.  First up is my card for the sketch at Unscripted Sketches this week - a little challenging for sure but I likes the results.
 

Next up is my page for the Case File this week at CSI.  When I saw that once of the pieces of evidence was no patterned paper I knew I had this one down - being a Core'dination's girl for so many years I can do a page with no patterned paper -in fact once I'm on a roll with it I have a hard time going back.  This is little Gavin (who also fit the case file) already climbing on things.

Thanks for stopping by!

Core'dinations Today!

 How about a little Core'dination's today!  I'm up on the blog and here are two pages I did with the Spotted collections.  The Large spots are the large dot and the small dots are the Jullian.  They are both perfect for card making or layouts and come in a wide variety of colors.  YUM!

These are some precious photos of Gavin when he was very tiny.  He's my daughter's bff's baby and I've had the pleasure of doing his scrapbook pages.

Mid week blogging

 Got my March Gossamer kit this week and since I've been off I've hit the scrap table running!The first three I can't claim photography - the photos were all taken by inbloomphotography.  These were family photos of baby Gavin (the son of my daughter's bff) and her family. I'm doing his scrap album.
 The last page is my son and his girlfriend on a day trip we made with them to Fredericksburg and Luckenbach - my hubby couldn't wait to show Maria Luckenbach. 

 Then I have been dying to do a collage of some of the pictures my daughter took on her cruise last month with one of her good friend's who was celebrating her 25th birthday.  I haven't done a two page layout in years but this one just seemed to deserve it.

Saturday with Unscripted Sketches and CSI

 Well Saturdays here again - have to crank it up to get ready to go back to work tomorrow.  Only a couple of weeks before I have surgery on my foot and then I'll have five weeks off - lots and lots of scrap time.  We have been busy showing the house - at least it's showing but still no contract.  Very tired of this!.  Yesterday went to town and ran some errands and had a nice lunch.  The weather has been too cold for me to get out to run/walk and I'm getting antsy.  Ready to get some workout in before I'm on crutches!  Today I have several thing for you  - first up my card for Unscripted Sketches.

 Next up are two layouts for CSI.  The first I showed last week as part of a group of layouts I did for Page Drafts February Love challenge.  It was originally done for this Case File but Debbi allowed me to put it in as long as I didn't show it was from this file which hadn't previewed yet.  The second is a special Case File we did in conjunction with Archi-Scraps.

     

 Then these are two cards that were featured over at the Core'dination's blog this week which I did for St. Patrick's Day

Then I was going to show you a little more of the things that went to CHA this year.  These are some of the cards I did.

 

Then last up - my daughter, Brandy, (right) went with one of her besties, Liz, on a cruise for her birthday (not Brandy).  These were a couple of my favorite pictures that they came home with.

Unscripted Sketches, CSI and more

 Happy Saturday - showing the house alot so spending alot of time getting it ready, finding something to do while it's showing - all that stuff.  We lowered the price so will see what that brings.  Three weeks now until I have surgery on a bunion on my foot - then I'll be off for five weeks.  He would let me go back sooner but since I do 12 hours on my feet - that's out for right now.  Today I have tons of things to show.  First off is my take on the sketch over at Unscripted Sketches - please come play along. 

 

Ok I give up - can't get this card to center here

 

 Next up is my page for the CSI Case File this week.  Theme ran with the best vacation you ever had so had to put up one with my cruise from last summer with two of my girls.

 

 Then this month Page Drafts had a contest with tons of prizes up for grabs for using one or more of the five new sketches Em did for Valentine's.  Here's the three I was able to do with the sketches.  Wish me luck!

These last two - the first is still from my Gossamer Blue kit from February and the last one is partly from the kit and partly from stash.  I should also add the last one is from another sketch from Page Drafts

Thanks for stopping by!

Sunday

Well I didn't get thing posted yesterday as I was working.  AND I mean working.  Was float and by the end of the day I could hardly move. Was afraid to sit down that I would never get up again!  Plue the computer system had been down all night we were stuck with paper charting until about one in the afternoon.  For alot of the nurses this was totally something new - they had never paper charted and had no idea where to start.  So Momma was running around like crazy trying to get them going.  Plus baths and baths and someone  (intern would be my guess) was on an enema roll so guess what else I did all day!  Felt like a glorified and well paid tech! Guess I was too tired because I woke up at the crack of dawn.  Showing the house yet again today - will this EVER end!  Guess I shouldn't gripe - at least it's being shown and it won't sell if it's now shown.
First up today is my card for Unscripted Sketches

Then for CSI this week I had some fun with some camera shots my daughter and her bff have taken over the years that seemed to fit the Case File this week.

Hoping to get some scrapping in this week - off until Thursday!  Gotta finish up my last Gossamer Blue kit before the next one gets here.  Going to be a beautiful day here today - supposed to get to almost 80 so I intend to get out and do some interval running this afternoon. 

Coredination's

 Well today I just have a lot of Core'dination's goodness for you!  These first three pages were all featured on the Core'dination's blog yesterday but may not be the first time you saw them because both of the last two were used also for solving CSI case files.  I love it when I can combine both of them.  Core'dination's is so awsome because with all the textures and the dry embossing you can do you can add so much texture and character to your pages.  The first layout is my daughter (left) and her bff (who is also mama to the adorable little baby I've been scrapping and who is featured in the second layout from her wedding). I started with the Pink Paisley Impressions cardstock which I sanded down and then just went through my scraps for small pieces which I then embossed, sanded and matted. On my second page I sanded the Cosmo Cricket Impressions cardstock, then inked, stamped, sewed and distressed it. The last layout started with My Mind's Eye Impressions cardstock and then I added some of the Spotted collection as well.

  

Then I also have some pages that I send to CHA this year that I just haven't gotten around to posting yet.  The first is with the Bright collection of Core'dination's which I scored and sanded to created the sunburst effect.

The last one I did was created after I made a Gossamer Blue kit page with some Chalkboard papers.  I decided I could re-create the page using nothing but Core'dination's cardstock which I did using the Neutral collection.
