Ice Cream Social!!

I have some really fun pics taken by Kelley Lohr,

Moxxie's DT Coordinator, from the Ice Cream Social

Pre-Party to CHA...this is where Moxxie debuted

all of their new lines and used the DT samples...

even giving some of them away as door prizes!!

Kelley reported that this was a huge success and I'm

so happy to see that my work was part of that!

Here are some photos of my layouts at the party...

Have a great Sunday evening and I'll be back

tomorrow with my Treasured Scrapbooking Aug. reveal.

Playdate!!

A couple of days ago Carter had a playdate

with a friend's little boy and they had so much

fun! Jenny Brannies little boy, Caleb, just had a

new swing set built at their new house and Carter

could not resist trying out the slide. The two of

us took some action shots as the boys were running

around and between the two of us ended up with

some really great photos!! Thank goodness that I

brought Carter's big sister, Emily, along with us

to help chase down the boys while the two

mom-arrazzis were busy snapping photos!!

Have a terrific Thursday,

LOVES :) -Sarah

both created with their Keep It Cool line.

Just A Quick Weekend Post

So, while I'm sitting here at home this weekend wishing

that I could be at CHA right now (didn't have a roommate)

I decided to participate in the Simply Obsessed

Just Beachy online crop to occupy my time and get out

some of my scrappy energy!! I haven't created a

double layout in a good couple of months so I just

wanted to share the double layout that I made for one

of the Simply Obsessed Challenges....it was a sketch

challenge that I flipped and then added the second page.

All products used on this layout are from Momenta.

Back to my scrappy desk to try and whip another one

out before the end of the day!!!

There's tons of great LO's being uploaded into the gallery

at Simply Obsessed so head on over and check 'em

out for lots of inspiration and awesome scrappy ideas!!

Have a wonderful Sunday,

LOVES :) -Sarah

A Choo-Choo Train Project Any Little One Would Love!!

I am very excited to share with you another project

for Thoughts 2 Paper. Liz, the store owner, was so nice

to let me choose which projects I would like to work with,

and when I saw this adorable MDF Train I knew that it

would be just perfect for my little boy's room and boy was

I right! My little one, Carter, couldn't even wait until I was

finished painting and decorating this cut little train before

he wanted to try it out.....yes, I know it's a decoration for

his room but I had to let him break it in a little before

putting it up on the shelf. Carter absolutely LOVES his

new Choo-Choo Train and I do too!! Make sure to stop

by the Thoughts 2 Paper online store to grab your own,

it would make the perfect gift or snack holder at a

birthday party or even a gift holder or table decoration

for a baby shower!!!

Have a fantastic Friday!

Pink Ninja Wednesday!!

Hey all!!!

Today is reveal day for Pink Ninjas

Prompt #42 Play Ball.

Not exactly a hard challenge for me

since I have an almost two year old

little boy who loves trucks and you

guessed it.......to PLAY BALL!!!

I went with a pretty simple and clean

design for this layout with just a bit of

spritzing and accents to make the photos

really POP!! I have a ton of these pics

of Carter just playing around with his

toys so thanks to this challenge I finally

got some of them scrapped!

Have a wonderful Wednesday,

LOVES :) -Sarah

I have really been wanting to share this

layout that I recently created using my favorite

new punches from Just Imagine Kreaxion Punches!!

One of my favorite LO accents right now are

paper doilies and with the Kreaxion Punches

I can make them myself!! How cool is that!

I simply trace and cut out the star template

and then use my favorite punch on each point

of the star....there you have, easy as that,

a fabulous paper doilie that you just made all

on your very own!! The possibilities with these

punches are endless and I'm having a fantastic

time playing with all of them! Make sure you

check out their blog for more awesome ideas

by the other fantastic design team members.

Have a great Friday and weekend,

LOVES :) -Sarah

Lots of Reveals Today!!

Alrighty,

to start things off today is the second

reveal day of the month for

Treasured Scrapbooking.

Check out the store because now through

July 15 almost everything in the store

is 40% off!!!

Treasured Scrapbooking July 2010 Kit

I had a blast using the amazing

products in the TS July Kit and even

after creating two layouts and an

altered project I still have tons left.

I've even used some of it on a third

layout that I will be sharing with you

later in the week. So, without any more

gabbing, here is my second LO and an
altered basket I picked up at a yard sale of

course that I now use to hold all of my

handmade cards.

Secondly, today is also reveal day for

Prompt #41 SWAP for Pink Ninjas.

Our challenge was to create a layout

using a photo from one of the other

DT members and I scrapped a photo

of Emily's "New 'Do". The pic was very

sassy and fun to work with so I used

the very sassy and fun pattern papers

from Momenta's Black Tie and Flutter lines.

Make sure to check out Emily's Blog and

Pink Ninja Addicts to see the layout that

Emily scrapped with my photos!

Have a wonderful Wednesday,

LOVES :) -Sarah

1st Trip To The Zoo!!

We had so much fun taking Carter (and the girls)

to the Indianapolis Zoo this past Friday!!

The weather was just perfect...in the low 80's...

and we knew that if we were doing this it

had better be soon before the temperature

headed back up to the mid 90's again

(which it has been already for the past 2 days).

This was Carter's first trip to the zoo and

he is at that perfect age where he knows

what most animals are called and can make

their sounds so it was so amazing to watch

him as he saw and experienced all of them

in real life!! We all had a blast, even Becca

and Emmy who hadn't been there in the past

few years, loved watching Carter learn and

explore. Steve and I decided to have a fun

picture drawn of the 3 kids and figured the

ridiculous price was worth it since it's will be

something that will be kept and treasured 4ever.

It was a great day and a great weekend

celebrating the 4th of July swimming and

cooking out with family and friends!!

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend as well,

LOVES :) -Sarah
