I'm BAAAACK!!!!

A six month blog break is MORE than enough.

I thought briefly that maybe I am just done with my blog... but then I went to scrap some pics and dug back into my blog to find the details of something.... Holy moly! I NEED my blog!

My kids went back to school on August 1st.

*Muppet Boy is off to 8th grade. I can't believe we're almost out of Middle School! CRAZY. Note his Deadpool shirt and socks. He's a FANATIC.
*Little Guy started 4th Grade. He was quite excited.
It's still bizarre to only post pics of these two while Oldest is off having his own life... :(  So here he is waterskiing (stole this pic from his Facebook page... and no I'm still not on Facebook).

I've got a little time on my hands with work not quite started and the kiddos off at school. So, Right now I'm working on a bunch of things that are motivating the heck out of me!
1) I'm doing the Super Stashbusters Club at Big Picture Scrapbooks. I am loving the projects we're doing over there.

2) I'm doing the More Bright Ideas Class at Studio Calico... but I haven' managed to tackle the first assignment over there.
and

3) I'm participating in the 4th Anniversary Celebration at Scraptastic Kit Club site. I am not a subscriber -- a kit club is NOT in my budget, but I love the DT over there and their kits are FAB! And I am always really motivated by an online crop!

Here's a couple of pages I've done for these classes/crop.

Here's a layout of the Great Sand Dunes National Monument back in 2012. I did this one with a BINGO challenge off at Scraptastic -- I used Stamping (title, stars), Multi photos, Die Cuts (from Basic Grey), A bow, and a border punch (on the red)... I am pretty happy with this one (used 6x6 Hey Boy! again here).

And here's one of the Little Guy, asleep on the couch (old couch!) with his beloved Devotional. I used some of the Faith PL cards on this page.
