What a busy weekend!  Ready to get my sleep on!
Yesterday was good day for creating, lots of good thoughts while scrappin'.  I already posted yesterday some LO's that I did.  I was able to enter a challenge over at Lasting Memories.
Here are a couple more layouts that I created, could have kept going but we went to a comedy club last night.

These 2 LO's are from a family reunion in 2000

I love this page, the colors, the photo's and I thought the saying was perfect for a reunion page.

My sister and I have been checking out new challenge blogs all weekend.  She came across one called Birthday Sundaes.  Check them out they are starting March 20th, how exciting to create and enter right from the beginning.  Its going to be all about birthday cards, and growing your stash.  Be sure to check out their new blog, it gives all the information about they're challenges, blog candy and a DT call.  So check it out y'all.

Hope everyone sleeps tight tonight!

Wait, one more thing before I sign off, I do have a small blog candy of my own going on, until March 1st.

Lasting Memories #26

Hi again, busy scrappin' this morning!  Over at Lasting Memories they have a challenge going on that is due by 9pm tonight.  It is too reduce, reuse & recycle.

I thought and thought what in the heck could I do or use.  After some time I figured it out.  I took a project that my son had to do in kindergarten w/ his family.  We had to disguise Tom the Turkey, because he didn't want to be eaten. 

All the students did wonderful jobs disguising their turkeys, most of them did recycle or re-use an item. 

So we decided to turn Tom into the Easter Bunny, dad's idea!  We clipped out from a magazine rabbit ears, a basket and a carrot.  Below you'll see the side by side LO that I created w/ the photo's that we took and the disguised turkey, not only is the turkey disguised but Lucas wanted to disguise us too. 

We were able to use up some of my scraps as well during this project, so I may not have used scraps for the actual LO but the turkey is all re-used stuff, hope that counts.  If not I understand, it was fun creating the pages.










And on another note I stopped at a craft store yesterday and they had big clearance items.  I have a sad supply of flowers  :O(

I always want to use them, but I'm amazed at the cost of those jars of florals.  I will pick some up if I have a coupon or on clearance (which isn't often).  Odd but flowers are the only thing I'm cheap about, when it comes to scrapbooking goodies.
So with the big clearance sale I bought 3 containers and happy to see my stash has grown.  :O)

Just wanted to share, I'm going back to creating and I promise I won't post again until tomorrow.  Tee hee!  I've posted 4 times in the past 24 hours, that has to be a record for me. 

Hugs, AuniLeigh

Have you won blog candy before?  I have recently and I'm so excited, its crazy I had to call my sister first thing.  She was then just as excited as I was. 

How perfect too, I won a box of buttons, only my most favorite embellishment in the world!  I won over at Crafty Dragons blog.  Ali is a DT member over at Lasting Memories.  They only do scrapbook LO's for their challenges, that's why I love them so much!  I do enjoy cardmaking but scrapbooking is my true love.  You should definetely take the time to check them out. 

I will be at home most of my day, so I've got to get some pages done.  Just waitin' for the sun to come up, I'm about an hour away.  Enjoy your day, and let's all be creative!

Lasting Memories #25

With Valentines Day just one day away, I sat and thought what kind of LO do I want to do.  I couldn't find a good picture of me & the "non-husband".  So I looked through my pics and found a great photo of my mom and my son.  Over at Lasting Memories their challenge this week is a color combo using, red, white & pink, so Valentiny isn't it! 


I apologize for using buttons again, but they are my favorite embellishments.



I hope you like what did with your color combo.  Have a great night and I'm looking forward to see what everyone else has created.  

Lasting Memories #23

Lasting Memories is a new challenge site that I found this past weekend.  I really like the whole deal they have goin' on.  It is scrapbooking only, no cards!  I do like cardmaking but my true addiction is scrapbooking.  They provided a sketch this week and I decided to join in. 

Thank goodness for snow days!  I was able to scrapbook on a weekday, not sure if that's ever happened before.....lol
