Scraplifing and some shares...

Hi everyone. Sorry that I am not posting much...just kinda blah. Must be the winter blues! But I did want to share a couple of things. First, here are the two layouts I made when I went scrappin' on Sunday...

The first is a scrap lift from the January issue of Scrapbooks Etc. ...I love this magazine! I have to say that I usually don't scraplift because for some reason I have a hard time with it! (You would think it would be easier for me to scraplift. I am weird like that! LOL) However, I saw Sarah Klemish's 2008 in review LO (on page 38) and I knew it would be perfect to scrapbook the holiday pics. Here is my take on her layout... (sorry for the bad pic)Laura had the same idea. Check out her take on Sarah's LO HERE.

And one of my own creations. I LOVE using "girly" stuff but never get to with a teenage son so I got to for his homecoming pics....
A detailed shot since it seems I can't take a good pic. lol .....
and finally, I made a card for the Hero Arts challenge. This week is about layering so I layered lots of my HA flowers and buttons. I love the way it turned out. Many people have commented on me using so many of my flowers and they couldn't part with their stash like that, but this year I feel like I need to stop hoarding my scrap stuff and use it! Here's to my new's year resolution to using my stuff and stop saying it is too pretty to use! lol ....

One more thing...I am hosting a Scrapbook Bakery crop on Saturday, February 22 from 10-5 at McAuley High School. If you are a fellow Cincinnati gal and would like to attend, email me or leave a comment and I will email you all the info. about registering. Hope you can make it!

That's it for now. I will not be back until Sunday. I leave for Cornerstone tomorrow. I can't wait. I will share my projects when I return. Have a great rest of the week!
