A Quiet Weekend

Mike was away all weekend with his Uncle so the house was so quiet. He said the he went to the archery range. My brother does bow hunting. They made a quick competition and when they announced the first person to pop the red balloon would get the first slice of pizza. Mike rose to the challenge and immediated aimed and let loose, popping the red balloon. After all Pizza and teenagers go together like almost nothing else. lol.



So I have a few things for you and some announcements for you for next weekend.

Sue's Layout

Technique Challenge sample

Hello Everyone, I hope that you all had an amazing Chritmad holiday. Mine was great, I made a deck of playing cards out of a scrap page layout for my Sister-in-Law and she was really pleased with them. She was showing them around to everyone, and they do plan to use them to play cards with, I am so glad!

A friend told me about them at heritage makers and then I googled Wal-mart.com photo center and they had them there so I uploaded a trimmed copy of a LO of my nieces and nephew and had them ship to the store here for free. It took about a week and was really worth it! I also made a deck for Grandpa to send to him in Arkansas. I hope that he likes them as well.

I also made some CD calendars from my Pink-a-Dilly kit for the girls and I struggled with how to get the CD cases to 'stand'-up. It took me a while to get it. You have to take the case apart and flip over the cover backwards and reconnect it and the layout goes in sideways to make a photo stand PHEW! I did it! Looks so cute. Now I have to print out another one to show everyone. I did save the files as Qp's so I will have them available in the store when the kit comes out as well.

I will be hosting a scrap challenge at Life-Scrappers on scrapping techniques soon and hope to have an advanced technique challenge for you the first part of January. Sue did such an amazing job on her LO here that I asked her for instructions to it. You need to get a PS filter to do the technique, that is why it is advanced. I hope that some of you will play along. There will be a posting bonus freebie but that has not been determined as yet. My sample for the techniques challenge.

And here is a sample mini kit freebie exclusive to the blog here of my Pink-a-Dilly kit.
