Good Sunday Morning!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to say hello, and hope you are doing great! We're busy getting ready for the winter, I love and hate this time of year at the same time. I love the changing of the leaves, I love the cooler days (I'm a jeans and hoodie kind of girl!)... but I hate that winter is almost here. We have such bloody cold and long winters here up north... The one good thing is that I am not working this winter, so I don't have to be running outside as much! LOL!

Over at LIITD, today is Melissa's reveal day! WOOHOO! She worked with October Afternoon 'Fly a Kite' and it looks fabulous! Check it out HERE!!!

Today is also the very last day to have your layouts and projects uploaded for Lori's Surprise Online Crop! Midnight tonight is when you must have everything on the site by in order to be eligible for the prizes, and let me tell ya... the prizes as always, are awesome!!!! Pop over and take a peek!

Here are a few layouts I have been working on in the last few weeks.... most are from the online crop challenges, but the last one was from the Monday Night Mystery Layout that I just put on last week!

I guess I better go and get my Sunday chores done! Hope you all have a great week!!

Happy Sunday!!!

September already... omg where is the year going to!??! My little man is already 4 months old, my kids are headed back to school on the 8th..... time is just flying.

I won't bother you with any small talk, though. What I'm here to show you, is my September reveal for Love is in the Details! We are still lucky enough to be choosing our own 'kits' to work with.... so this month, for Chelsea's Picks, I chose a bit from October Afternoon, and a bit from Pink Paislee.... gotta mix it up a bit sometimes ;) You can find a full product list on the LIITD BLOG, so if you see something you like, you best be checking it out asap before it's sold out!!

Here are the layouts that I completed using my picks!

I also posted my September Challenge.... this month I did a sketch! Every month you can do one or two, or three, or all FOUR of the Creative Team Challenges.... and with each one that you do, your chance of winning the MPC prize of a $25 gc to the LIITD store!! We keep it under wraps which challenge is actually the one for the prize, so get them all done for your best odds ;)

Here is my sketch, and the layout that I did for it! Come on over and check it out, along with the other challenges that are posted!!

I hope everyone is having a great long weekend with their family and friends! We are camping for the last time of the season, time to pull in the camper and get it hibernated for the winter!

SURPRISE!!

The surprise was on EVERYONE this morning at Love is in the Details.... LOL!

Every Sunday, one of the Creative Team members reveals their work with their 'Monthly Picks' from the LIITD store. Well, August has 5 Sundays and so for today, Lori worked her butt off the last month and revealed an ONLINE CROP!!! It starts today and runs right until September 26th, so you have plenty of time to get the challenges done!!! Even the CT didn't know about this little surprise ahead of time, I'm really not sure how she didn't spill the beans. LOL!!

Here is Lori's BLOG POST for you to check out... and you can click on her links to get to the LIITD Message Board and Online Crop forum which will have all of the rules and regulations, and of course all NINE of her challenges that she is issuing..... And yeah, as always, Lori is throwing out some FAB-U-LOUS prizes to win!!!!!

Come on out and take part in this month long event, join the message board and open up a gallery... we would love to see some new faces as well as all of our regulars taking part! (for those that aren't members of the forum, Lori has listed ways for you to take part too!!)

On your mark, get set... and SCRAP!!! Hope to see you around!!

p.s.... next week is already the first Sunday in September, and I might have a little something up my sleeve to show you ;)

Another Year Older

Yup that's me! My birthday today... and I'm not going to tell you how old I am. LOL! It's funny how for so long I have felt the same age, which isn't an 'old' feeling, it's more of an 'I can't believe I'm already this age' feeling. I don't feel my age. At least I don't feel how I THOUGHT I should feel at this age, if that makes sense. When I was 18 and partying in the bar (yes, I did that from time to time... lol) I would look at all of the moms in there that were the age I am now, and think OMG are they ever old, what are they doing in the bar still?!?! And here I am, THAT old. Only I feel like I just graduated highschool yesterday. Far from it......

So anyways.... I'm having lunch out with my 'significant other' today while my mom watches all of the kids. And that's about it until tomorrow when we're having the whole family out to the campground for some ribs and corn on the cob and pickeral cheeks!

I've been getting some scrapping done, nothing I can share just yet... but check back on August 22nd for a little something from me :)

I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer!!

How YOU doin'??

Who doesn't think of Friends when they hear this? LOL!! It's something I say to my littlest guy all the time, he seems to love raising his eyebrows, tilting his head, and smiling... and I can just see him trying to be Joey when he grows up! LOL!

Hope everyone is having a great summer! So far ours has been pretty good... lots of beach time for the kids, some camping time for all of us, a bit of travelling for a few of us.

Last weekend, my brother and sister and I all went to the Bon Jovi concert in Winnipeg at the stadium. OMG it was just awesome, and we were right there on the floor in the 2nd row, people.... I can't write enough about how good it was, from the moment Kid Rock took the stage until the final encore performance by my most favorite group EVER..... it was well worth the 7 hour trip there and 7 hour trip back. LOL! We also took in Despicable Me (****SO FUNNY****) and Eclipse (****yummmmmy****) but not nearly enough shopping. Guess I'll have to stick to the online shopping for now!

As for scrapping time, it's been at a bare minimum... but I am making myself use whatever spare time I have, to sit at the table and try to get some things done. Last night I whipped up a layout using one of my newest fave pictures of Brayden!

I hear him screaming now, so I better run.... we're off to the campground again! Take care, everyone!!!

I'm feeling a little DeLovely today!

Change is GOOD! Change means new ideas, and a lot of time it means a lot of fun! Around LIITD, things are changing a wee little bit in regards to the kits! Starting in July, the Creative Team will have some surprises in store for you.

The biggest part of this, is that LIITD and the CT will no longer be working with monthly kits on a regular basis. Now this doesn’t mean that the kits are gone for good, it just means that we will probably just be doing them more rarely, perhaps for special holidays like Christmas, etc.
The CT, however, will be working with products that they choose, products that you the members/customers request, and every now and then - products that I request. This month, to kick things off, the CT members were each given free run in the LIITD store and were allowed to choose some products they wanted to work with - to show off their personality and style. They were given no specific instructions, just pick, scrap, have fun and create.

Last Sunday you were treated to Lisa's picks for July, and she did an amazing job putting those vintage pieces to work!!

This week, it's my turn! I chose the Cosmo Cricket DeLovely line because they screamed summer colors to me!! I once loved only working with earth tones, but have really grown to love working with bright funky colors too!

For a full list of the items I picked for my 'kit' for July, Lori has posted them on the LIITD blog, so if you didn't get here from there, and want to know... just head on over!

Here is a sneak peek of what I did with my kit, but click HERE for the full monty, if you will! LOL!
