what??? i'm suppose to blog?
is that what this thing is for? to actually type something more than once a month? sheesh! my style is more to cram in a bunch of layouts i did over a few weeks. lol. i LOVED the september studio calico kit summer camp (i believe they still have some!) i have made more layouts with it than i have photographed - maybe ten or eleven? i'd have to count. it was a good one! so, without further ado, here are a few of the ones i've made with summer camp. :)
this one was for g's lift the person above you challenge. i lifted rita.
this is 2 of my kidlets on their first day of school...
this one is about my beautiful middle sister (well one of 2 middles.) she came to visit last month. we took a tour of the sterling winery (see first lo!) and i took some pics of her while we were there. (also see below!)
so, our 4 year old washing machine broke in july. we got an estimate to fix it.... $658. are you serious?! we ended up buying a new one (because it cost less!) and recycling the old. i was not incredibly happy to have to fork over the cash for the new one, but i must say... i LOVE my washer. true, it doesn't match the dryer. but whatever. it gets my clothes cleaner. they dry in half the time. it's great!
and a note on the design of this lo. i am NOT a raw chipboard shape gal. i secretly groan when it is in one of the kits. not that i don't think it's adorable. i do. so cute! but, i just never know how to use it! well... wasn't it timely this go 'round with the new washer? ;)
this one (& the next two) were from the kelley purkey sketchbook class over at studio calico.
(i think days 3 & 4!)
this one is of our boys. just playing, happy as can be, for hours one day. they played with their lightening mcqueens & maters & r2d2 all day long. it was fabulous!
see what i mean about loving this kit? it was gorgeous, right? clearly, i love the alphabet stamp set too!
I always love your layouts on SC, so I decided to follow your blog! Looking forward to seeing what else you create!
ReplyDeleteYou really rocked this kit Mandie! I'm not a fan of chipboard either, and dread it being in kits! But what you've done with it is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI have been needing a "scoop of Mandie" to kick me in the behind and motivate me to scrap. Seeing this posting did the job. While as usual I love every ding dang layout, there are two that have captured my attention and heart. They are: Mini Photo Shoot and Hey Baby. I want to copy the first entirely. I have been staring at those rub ons wondering how to use them. Figure it out...copy Mandie. :o) The Hey Baby one caught my eye. because I am not a raw chip chick either. I absolutely love how you used the chips. So perfect for your new washing machine! BTW....They also remind me of Paperkins in a way. HA HA...little dangling headless Paperkins.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the motivational boost. :o)
Seriously...you are awesome. How do you find the time! These are all great...but I especially love the photo shoot one and the first day of school one! I really need to bust out that kit...I bought THREE add-ons and haven't made a thing yet!! ;)
ReplyDeletewow ~ you have been so creatively busy lately and I love every drop! my favorites are "hey baby" and the top layout of you & Kim enjoying some sister time...well done!!
ReplyDeleteFANTASTICC Mandie!! wowowowowow!! love them, they are so so so good!!! I can't believe that your 4-year old machine is broken!! unbelievable that you have to buy a new one only after 4 years!!!
