here I am, enjoying a diet coke and some hershey’s miniatures, and realize that I have other goodies to share today..
some new products at jessica sprague (available today) are getting me in the mood to scrap (more) and make some fun hybrid stuff for the halloween season.
first up:
carina gardner-

and some cosmo cricket:
can’t you see a little banner, just like this, but in real life?
I can too.. hopefully I will get it done soon!
I don’t want to depress you.. I don’t want to depress myself, but did you know, were you aware, that august is almost over?
really.
next week, and that’s it.
hello september.
see, I depressed you.
shame on me.
I really am sorry.
maybe what I have been working on, catching up on (because I’ve been enjoying the last bit of my summer and playing a lot), will help to cheer you.
they just make me long for summer…

I have been getting a lot of scrapping done.
(sadly it is all digi scrapping.. heaven knows how many pictures i have that are printed off, waiting in the mess that is now known as my craft room in the basement.. don’t even get me started on the stash of supplies that keep those pics company..)
I am not sure if this surge of digi scrapping is because of the re-discovered passion my girls have for playing polly pockets or for watching jurassic park.
(both of which seem to take place in the loft, upstairs where the computer is..)
but anyway.. here’s a few:

new today:
“chemistry” by cosmo cricket:
and i was way too excited about these brushes by liv:
and well, then there is all of this other stuff, that was basically just for fun… our summer has been well-spent, and i have some cute pix to prove it!
(cute pix = more scrapping motivation!!)
hope you are enjoying your summer as well!!
I am still playing catch-up after last week’s holiday.. well, that and all the fun we’ve been having.
I am trying my best to lay back, relax, and have fun with the girls before summer finds it’s end.
(I wish that the end would just get lost though…)
so here’s two weeks worth of goodies:

queen of quirk’s newest scrap canvas:
liv’s newest needs + wants, stings galore v.2:
and then there’s the temple…
i needed something newish to put in the girls’ rooms in the way of a temple picture. i played with jodie lee’s vintage crackle textures and got just what i wanted!
Just a reminder: seven days in may begins today!
(How’s that to start you week?)
Go check out the general forum to play along. I know that I will be there.. well, in between the coats of paint drying, making teacher year-end gifts, going to the dentist..
So come and hang out with me there!
I did last year and had a blast, got addicted, quite frankly, but it was entirely too much fun.
(And you’ll score some freebies!!!)
As for new product, I have a few…
(They are all delightful.)
Splendid Fiins:

Carina Gardner:
Be watching for a post about baby hunger…
Last, but certainly not least, Cosmo Cricket:
I have many more project ideas in store with this collection.
So, will I see you in the forum, or what? ;)
Jodie Lee is a new designer to Jessica Sprague.
Her creations are amazing! I was lucky enough to get to play with some of her designs in the last class I took, and fell in love.
Today is her debut. She has some shabby, amazing, gorgeous products out today. Go check them out!
These are her Vintage Paper Textures, perfect for this layout.

this week’s layout comes courtesy of cosmo cricket’s latest line of “garden variety”. my layout features paper and elements (aka “candy” to the cosmos).
love the fresh-picked feel it has to it, makes me want to go live on a farm.
(i tell merrill that is the plan if something were ever to happen to him. pack up the girls and head to the rural i tell you..)
tangent: i realize, as i post this, that i took this picture on our anniversary.. kind of funny to see just what has happened in 11 years..

Thanks to my best friend Christie, I learned and now appreciate, the template.
The last of the hospital layouts...
Still catching up on the family album (I won't say how far back I REALLY am..) but am trying to hurdle over Peyton's birth pictures.. without crying on them.
So here's the down-low on crushed velvet flock (if you don't already know.. it was new to me!)..
Now I am off to fold more laundry (the never-ending task), and then enjoy some Double Stuffed Oreos with SKIM milk.. so do those two cancel each other out or what? :D
