Liiitle Friday!

The host of our local morning show on television calls Thursdays "Liiittle Friday" - I like that.  Not that Fridays are any different than any other day in my life now but when I was working, I always looked forward to Fridays as it was the last day of the work week!  Back in the days of my first marriage, Fridays were pay days and the last day of school for the kids so we would go out to McDonalds or get pizza, rent a couple of videos and stay up as late as we wanted... Fridays are a day we all look forward to so the term Liiitle Friday for Thursdays gets one excited for the upcoming weekend!

I went to bed early last night, about 9:00pm and then woke up early at 2:00am.  I was not really ready to start scrapping, nothing on the boob-tube worth watching and when I checked my email, I found a coupon from ArtsCow for a thirty page photo book for only $9.99 with free shipping!  Yippee!  I spent the next couple of hours picking out 30 of my favorite pages I have scrapped lately, and preparing them for the photo book.  As I have told you before, I use the Artscow Blank Cover Templates from Studio Wendy at SBG.  I prepared my book cover adding one of my favorite layouts to In Memoriam Papers by Kimberly Stewart and Rina Kroes, and then I prepared the page backgrounds using a simple white paper from the In Memoriam Set and a black paper from Rina's Almost Midnight PaperPack.


So that will be the front cover of my photo book with 30 layouts with my Grandchildren, Isaac and Ava, the children of my youngest son Matthew.

As I was making my selections to include in the above photo book, I came across some of last years freebies that I had posted.  When I cleaned up my blog and corrected my labels, the links for some of past freebies were removed but I want to make sure they are available to all my new followers, so as I come across them in hard drive, I will be adding them to my blog once again!  Today, I have two quick pages I made last spring using Spring Has Sprung by Kimberly Stewart.


Kimmi says that the tender, soft shades of spring, packed with lots of flowers is perfect for any of your precious photos of babies, girls, boys and of course spring, for your layouts, craft projects, cards and more! The alphabet adds a bit of glitz to your layouts with beautiful pink, emerald, and light topaz gem stones timmed in sparkling gold.  I adore this kit and often use the elements and alphabets on my pages so I know you will want to add this kit to your collection!  I hope you enjoy the quick pages!

Scrapping Today

There are so many other things I should be doing today on my 10th Wedding Anniversary but Hubby had to work, and I have so many pretties that I purchased on National Scrapbooking Day-well, I just want to play!!! And I want to remind you that today is the last day to grab Rina's NSD Grabbag at the incredibly low price of $2.95. This Grabbag is so huge-it is one that just can not be missed! I made the following layout for Rina's Scripture Challenge with the Joyful Awakening Stacked Papers which is just one of the hidden beauties in this bag! I made the next page for the SBE-Layout Inspiration Challenge . It is inspired by Tomorrows and Yesterdays by Danessa . I used Rina's Secrets in The Attic Page set and the In Memoriam Element Set by Kimberly Stewart and Rina Kroes. It is a heritage page for the album I am working on for the Phelps Family Reunion. This next page was made for Build A Fairy Treehouse Challenge at Enchanted Studio Scraps. For this challenge...

Hump Day with Teen Tude

Wednesday is Hump Day:and we are half-way through the week.  We here in the USA are looking forward to a big holiday weekend, the 4th of July!  I am sure my sons will take their kids to one of the fireworks shows in the area, and we always have a family cook-out at my brothers house.  I still have to try to get my stuff together for the big yard sale my DILs are having on Saturday.  But today, my husband and a few of his friends are meeting here to finish putting up the big 100 ft CB antennae tower for his "Bull Creek Sub-Station!  He loves to talk and there is always a listening audience for his foolishness on the CB.  That is about the only hobby he has, lol! For me, my love of digi-scrapping led me last night to double-check and finish some of the photo books I have to make sure they are ready for printing.  I added a couple of slide shows from these projects over on the right side of my blog so I hope you take the time to peek at them.  I ca...

Anchors Aweigh

In 1906, Bandmaster Lieutenant Zimmerman was approached by Midshipman First Class Alfred Hart Miles with a request for a new march or fight song. Midshipman Miles was a member of the Naval Academy class of 1907. Miles and his classmates were eager "to have a piece of music that would be inspiring, one with a swing to it so it could be used as a football marching song, and one that would live forever." The two men reportedly worked out the tune and it was first called "Stand Navy Down The Field". "Aweigh", meaning to raise or hoist, comes from the nautical phrase "to weigh anchor". The current lyrics, as revised by George D. Lottman, were adopted in the 1920s, and it is now recognized as the U.S. NAVY Anthem. "Stand, Navy, out to sea, Fight our battle cry; We'll never change our course, So vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y. Roll out the TNT, Anchors Aweigh. Sail on to victory And sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray! Anchors Aweigh...
