<br />
It is March 26, 2020 and the world is in the midst of the 2020 Covid 19 pandemic. Who knew....Just thought I would put that out there in case I somewhere in the future someone stumbles upon this blog! HA! <br />
<br />
Since 2014 a LOT has happened! Most of the kiddos are grown and gone with families of their own....a few still live at home but that will be changing soon as the last two kiddos will be moving in together with their significant others soon. <br />
<br />
We are up to 11 yes....ELEVEN grand kids and even 2 GREAT grands! Wow!<br />
<br />
Hubs went through a lot of health issues in 2019 and we are hoping for a much better 2020 on that front....so far so good but with this crazy virus who knows....we are keeping our 'social distance' from everyone (sad sad sad) and trying to keep Vince especially away from everyone....<br />
<br />
I still LOVE to scrapbook....that hasn't changed and still use it as a way of escape for me. Okay...there you are caught up that quick! HA! Have a great one and let's see if this time I keep posting....who knows!<br />
<br />
Wash your hands and keep your social distance!<br />

<br />
I think I accomplished something I wanted to do for a LONG time and that is to make a header for my blog! Check it out! I did that all by my self....well...I used Pic Monkey photo editor to help. I really had fun and will be using that photo editing often for my photos. Super simple and straight forward.<br />
<br />
THEN I actually did a layout that is for a challenge! From the blog called Scrap Our Stash, their September challenge, <a href="http://scrapourstash.blogspot.com/2014/09/stash-challenge-18-back-to-school.html">Back to School</a>. I haven't done something like this in a long time. I sure hope I remember how to do all the linking and what not. Anyway, the challenge was to use:<br />
<br />

Here is my layout:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Obviously from the (1) I used the lined paper, then from (2) I used the ruler, alphas and then I had these little chalkboards that I wrote the word 'play' on. <br />
<br />
My wonderful hubby loves to play cars with our sweet grandson, Ian. And he always says 'Pop pop, play caaaarrrs' (wish you could hear how he says it!). Hubby teaches him the true play of imagination....along with sound effects (tink tink tink, bang bang bang when they are fixing the cars and they love to pretend they are going to WalMart in Mommie's car to get bug juice! The remote is WalMart and he has a little white car that is like mommies....they have tunnels made from cut out plastic jars and everything! Of course I had to document this memory!<br />
<br />

Make sure you check out ALL the challenges and did you know that each month there is a PRIZE for one of the submitted challenges??? Your chances are GREAT so come join us!<br />
<br />
It is not a
hard one but it is different! I've noticed a few layouts with edges
that are border punched but NOT all the way around! Just a little here
and a little there....so I thought I'd give it a try. Here is what I
came up with.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsX98QaQL41taZBWD6ox_lBe-u_ljMikV9zzKrgS_Z4NHcKA8Q60GyGO5xVDVVDzk0uZrJhfHKue418nYg0KCiQw0GTUTeWAzyb6CozNqKnXcVxYRrZQKqioyiTExa3_HCsbOy/s1600/adventures.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsX98QaQL41taZBWD6ox_lBe-u_ljMikV9zzKrgS_Z4NHcKA8Q60GyGO5xVDVVDzk0uZrJhfHKue418nYg0KCiQw0GTUTeWAzyb6CozNqKnXcVxYRrZQKqioyiTExa3_HCsbOy/s400/adventures.jpg" width="395" /></a></div>
<br />
It
is a little hard to tell that there is nothing behind the punch (looks
like white cardstock) but there isn't! I love how it looks in real
life! Even when my hubby saw it he commented on how he loved the little
bits punched out! So, I DARE you, challenge you or just ask if that is
how you see it to give it a try! I think you will like it!<br />
<br />
By
the way, this layout is my oldest son and his sweet wife while they
were on a little vaca this year! I think it is so neat how my older
kids are now asking, bringing and requesting that I do layouts for
them! I guess it is one of the perks from this awesome hobby! AND one
more thing, I used the May Elite kit to create this one! I'll be
sharing a few more layouts in the next few days from this awesome kit!
It rocks! Don't wait because they will NOT last!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And here are a few MORE layouts with the May Elite Kit....just to show you how fun it is1 I've created 4 layouts and there is enough left that I could EASILY create 4 more! </span></span><br />

<br />
You know how you get all excited about yard sales especially when there are not two, not three but FOUR NEIGHBORHOOD sales right nears you AND a church sale!! (well, maybe you don't but we do) Let me just say that the anticipation isn't always worth it! Sigh...<br />
<br />
Got up early to hit them all only to find out that not only were they a bit disappointing (two tables does not constitute a yard sale to me! That is a closet sale! Hahaha!) but also the pickets were out in full force. Plus Craig's List listings means that when there used to be 40/50 folks out because they heard about them to 250 plus people!! Pickings were thin and we even came home by 10:30! Sigh...<br />
<br />
Now, I did have some fun scrapping. I complete Michelle's AND Vero's challenges! I'm up this Wednesday to post mine and that is what I'm going to work on today!!<br />
<br />
Here they are, <a href="http://scrapbookheavenga.blogspot.com/2012/04/april-challenges-vero.html">Vero shared a sketch and colors!</a><br />

<br />
We went to the 6:30 am service! And we made it WITH a 3 month old as they were singing the first song!! How good is that!<br />
<br />
That was the beginning of a beautiful day. Adison was serving at church so quickly between services we snuck him out to take a few quick pictures. That is a tradition but I will say taking them behind the gym at church does not make good pictures! Oh well, I still have them even if they aren't perfect. <br />
<br />
The rest of us headed home to take the 'traditional' pictures. Yea! Then we changed clothes and loaded up for a new fun twist for breakfast! <br />
<br />
Hubby has been wanting a charcoal grill (of course I've wanted one for years but isn't that how it goes?). So we decided to cook breakfast on the grill at our Reservoir area! <br />
<br />
It was a beautiful morning, and after moving to the sun (was a little chilly in the shade) the boys cooked away! <br />
<br />

Here are a few of my layouts using the Elite Kit! (I have some of the Petite kit too but Adison has my camera! YIKES...why did I let him borrow that anyway???)<br />

Yes....they are all from ONE kit! I love the diversity of Scrapbook Heaven's kits! Don't you? Everything from family layouts, girl layouts, and boy stuff!!! <br />
<br />
That is it for today....tomorrow is Easter and we are going to the 6:30 service and then out to the Rez to cook breakfast together! How fun does that sound??? I'll try to get a few pics and share and then share my goodies from the Petite kit! Have a super blessed day!<br />

<br />
It is time to bring some new perspective to this 'blog' thing....question is can I keep it up? SURE I can!<br />
<br />
With 2012 fast approaching it is time to gear up and bring more than just scrapbooking/stamping to this blog...it is time to keep up with family, with life, with weight loss journey, with GRAND CHILDREN! Yes...we have even added a new member to our family! I am now the grandma to Bailie (age 13) and Ian who was born 12/24/11. <br />
<br />
How about a few little pics....here is my sweet grand daughter:<br />

<br />
And here he is....Ian William, born 12/24/11 weighing in at 9lbs 4 oz and almost 21 inches long...<br />

Not only is he here but I had the honor to be IN THE ROOM with mom and dad as he came into this world. That alone was no small feat. Mom's labor wasn't the easiest, and believe it or not, even at 9lbs plus he was 3 weeks and 1 day early! He currently is in the NICU but has already come far and hopefully will be home with mom and dad SOON! Here are a few more pics of his little journey so far:<br />

AND today he came off the heating blanket and now just to work his way off the oxygen!<br />

My thoughts through all this are simple...it is worth it! I am anxiously awaiting the day to hold him and coo properly over and with the sweet little one.

Hope you are having an AWESOME day and most wonderful birthday!<br />
<br />
As you know if you are hopping along the DT is surprising V with a special hop....if you are on track you should have hopped here by way of <a href="http://tweetybugshouse.blogspot.com/">Jan's place</a>! If you just happened to stop by (thank you!) you will want to start at the top of this one to check out alll the awesome members and see what they are surprising Vicky with! Go to the top at the official <a href="http://qkd.blogspot.com/">Queen Kat Designs blog </a>and start there!<br />
<br />
Here is the card that I made for V....it is using one of the awesome Artemiss Creations Zodiac stamps! They are more than just a zodiac stamp...they are cute too!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mMG43SJenhc/Te77x8QPaRI/AAAAAAAABp4/FWZhGr-ePZI/s1600/HappyBdayVicki.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="353" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mMG43SJenhc/Te77x8QPaRI/AAAAAAAABp4/FWZhGr-ePZI/s400/HappyBdayVicki.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I colored the stamp using my copics and cut it out! I cut a circle and then free handed the background out of yellow cardstock....cut a few clouds and a fence and went to town! So fun!<br />
<br />

Hi guys! It has been a rough couple of weeks for me....BUT I do have a goodie to show you! I'm so sorry I'm late!<br />
<br />
Today we were challenged to share anything BUT a card...so I did what comes natural to me and that is a layout!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimcxVJdm1dGnvxvyxXttGK7m1RtrEAVGgTExryBRWh-uj31X0iM-3TZ-aSLP58Fwe_aoAUStM-vm5TQo8dOT-2Z-YqNlrnBAgNbBzOlUEzuHpPofv2RVwJ7RBdh3IBiSl4nbyM2Q/s1600/americanmadeqk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="392" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimcxVJdm1dGnvxvyxXttGK7m1RtrEAVGgTExryBRWh-uj31X0iM-3TZ-aSLP58Fwe_aoAUStM-vm5TQo8dOT-2Z-YqNlrnBAgNbBzOlUEzuHpPofv2RVwJ7RBdh3IBiSl4nbyM2Q/s400/americanmadeqk.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I used one of the stamps from the<a href="http://katstamps.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=47_102_3&products_id=1722"> March Get Ink Kit!</a>! This is an awesome picture of my oldest dd and her sweet family. She and her hubby are both Air Guard, Lance is currently stationed in Iraq and Ashley is in the field handling what she does best for one of the flood sites along the Mississippi River! They both LOVE their country and love serving! Ashley is also set to be deployed again in 2012. Never ending cycle in the life of a Military Family. <br />

What an AMAZING artist!<br />
<br />
Okay....gotta settle down a bit and get the 'business' part of this release done...first, WELCOME to a fantastic blog hop brought to you by Queen Kat Stamps to introduce a new stamp designer Mitzi Wiuff! You should have stopped here by the way of the official <a href="http://qkd.blogspot.com/">Queen Kat Designs Blog</a>, if not, go back and make sure you get the full list of blogs for today, and to find out more about Mitzi!<br />
<br />
Now....I got the honor to design with Dreaming on Aquamarine Tides stamp! She is beautiful and unlike any stamp I've designed with!<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are two cards I made with this amazing stamp:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-weGVrASE4uE/TbYvTJdtwZI/AAAAAAAABps/WJ-KlvcmRyU/s1600/dreamincolor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-weGVrASE4uE/TbYvTJdtwZI/AAAAAAAABps/WJ-KlvcmRyU/s400/dreamincolor.jpg" width="323" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div> I decided I wanted to just use my inks and do some 'smudging' with them! (with the aid of some Tim Holtz tools/inks of course!) I simply inked my blending tool with several different colors of ink...with circular motions....I worked from the inside colors to the outside...I LOVED the effect....so much that I did it on this card also!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-41-KRMm-h-8/TbYvXZrJ1EI/AAAAAAAABpw/noN7utwHaZQ/s1600/Dreamer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="313" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-41-KRMm-h-8/TbYvXZrJ1EI/AAAAAAAABpw/noN7utwHaZQ/s400/Dreamer.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Both of these cards are so easy, yet the look is priceless!<br />
<br />
Now, don't you want to see more of the new stamps? I know I'm ready to see them! So let's hop on over to <a href="http://stinkydogdesigns.blogspot.com/">Chris' place</a> and see what awesome design she got to play with! Then after the hop you HAVE to stop by the <a href="http://katstamps.com/store/">store</a> and pick up some of these stamps...but I warn you...you will want them ALL!!<br />
<br />
See you all soon!Juliet Dileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02507935245367212994noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24737835.post-69064615041415367262011-04-26T00:02:00.000-05:002011-04-26T00:02:00.180-05:00Triple Tiara Tuesday Time!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9VtlN9e1-44/TbYhM9B2FeI/AAAAAAAABpk/ZpxjCDadWHQ/s1600/T3150.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9VtlN9e1-44/TbYhM9B2FeI/AAAAAAAABpk/ZpxjCDadWHQ/s320/T3150.png" width="294" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div>It is once again that time of the month for me!

All I did was add just a hint of blue and it worked! I needed to make some cards for my sons when we were on our mission trip...to let them know how proud I was of them and this stamp was PERFECT for them! Noah was so excited to get handmade cards from mom! <a href="http://katstamps.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=98_139&products_id=1621">Samantha Nowak's The Poserz Collection, Max</a>.<br />
