Two Pages in One Day - New Record!!!

In my last post I told you how I need to scrap faster, and I did!  At least, for today.  I really wanted to participate in Scrapbooker's Anonymous final challenge, so I created this one for them:

The challenge this month was to use a map or map paper, and brads.  Well, I dug up this map of Murtle Lake from our first ever camping trip together and used it as the background.  The placement worked out well because I could mark with a brad where we were when I took the photos.  And, I'm sorry I have to comment on this, but wasn't my husband just gorgeous?!  Look at all that hair!!!  I used some old and new products here - old brads and stamp set (Close to My Heart), new washi tape (Queen and Co.) and mist (Lindy's Stamp Gang).

This next page is for the sketch challenge at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge:

The prompt was to scrap something about rain, and this is the sketch:

Most of the products used are by Fancy Pants, rub-ons by Love Elsie, and some dollar store stickers and ribbon.

Well, just a fast post here, as all this time scrapping and I haven't had a shower, ack!

Thank You Cards Inspired by Pinterest

So in case you thought all that pinning was in vain, this post should prove that it`s not! Thanks to Pinterest, I`ve finally figured out how to crochet flowers!!! It took a lot of messing and fiddling, but I think I`ve got it, and I`m going to love adding these little doodads to my layouts in the future! Here`s the set of cards I made for Ailis`s thank yous (a little late, but better late than never, right):

These were shamelessly cased from Nicole Heady`s card here, also found on pinterest and also the first crochet flower tutorial that I was able to decipher:

I don`t know, my cards look a bit too plain in comparison, but seeing that they`re going to a group of 6 and 7 year olds, probably doesn`t matter too much. It was a learning experience, and I`m just stoked that I was able to pick up a new skill!

And now it`s time for the first ever edition of Roxy`s Ramblings!!!

Did you guys all see the Hunger Games? I`m so jealous, I haven`t made it yet, and I heard it was really well done.

Speaking of movies based on YA novels, I rented Breaking Dawn a couple of weeks ago. Usually, I let Jason choose the movie for Friday date night, but this time I picked. Now I`m not the biggest Twilight fan out there, but I have read all the books and enjoyed them quite a bit, although Breaking Dawn was my least favorite. Anyway, I hate to say it, but this movie really stunk! What`s with the talking wolves? That part was just laughable! And the whole thing was just BORING!!! Big disappointment.

It snowed here last night!!! And it still hasn`t melted!

Did you hear that Scrapbooker`s Anonymous are having their last challenge? I`m so bummed, love their challenges and all the DT.

What do you all do for Easter? We`re usually pretty low key, but we`re having friends from Victoria come to stay, so maybe I should plan something special...

That`s about all for now, hope you enjoyed my cards and my rambles, have a great Easter long weekend if I don`t post my new project before!
