Missing In Action

Hey hey HEY!

Oh my, what a weekend, and week thus far! I had a GREAT 3 Day Pink Pineapple Extravaganza! The Pink Pineapple truly does ROCK!

Here is how it went down...

Thursday:

Friday:

Nely in the dunce cap!! I LOVE this pic, it's HILARIOUS! {you had to be there}My winning Layout for the Cupcake Cutie Crop! Thanks Cierra & April!

Saturday:

Emily Falconbridge was way rad- so so cool to have met her!!
And I saw the greatest gymnastics tournament ever- she was mega stoked to have gotten that medal! Gotta love the undies coming through her dress and those ashy knees! Lotion much?
Sunday:

Clean house, do laundry, clean, go grocery shopping, and clean some more... Blaaaahhh!

Monday:

Got these bad boys in the mail from this shop- WOO HOO! I've been pondering pattern I want to use to quilt with them... aren't they simply lovely?

Tuesday:

Participated in the Creative Cafe for Vintage Plum. It was really cool... we altered vintage book covers... I made this one as a start to a mini for my sister in law... she just had a little girl two months ago. Can't wait to finish it {That was fun ladies}!!

That's me in a nut shell... gotta get back to the gnarliest project that I've ever voulenteered for- thanks Elena!!

Thy Challenge Blogs, Oh How I Love Thee

Challenges rock- really, they do! They take you out of your comfort zone and let you explore a little (or a lot)... I whipped out these bad boys tonight: One for the Glorious Pink Challenge at Pink Pineapple, and the other for The Creative Type- love that blog!

Here is the Creative Type: check the deets here... I opted not to write on my photo, just to be rebellious! ;o)

It reads (around the blue border): some believe a picture says a thousand words...looking into your eyes, your beautiful smile and strong hands... this picture tells me on thing- love

AND, what super powers would I have if I got to chose ANYTHING!?!? Going back in time! ENDLESS possibilities... change things that have happen, relive a super exciting event (like the concert I went to this past Friday, can't get that out of my mind, it was SO SO awesome to meet THE Paul Oakenfold. Totally rambling... okay, so yeah, going back in time... I LOVE learning and reading about the foggies from the 1920s, 30s, and 40s... the jazz, the clothes, the cigarette holders (what a rad trend?!?), their simple yet not so simple lives... SO, {finally getting to the point, hang with me here} My powers would take me to the 1920s... flapper loving times! How fantabulous would that be? If I could just have one day in the smokey jazz club, in my ultra sexy flapper dress... my make up done up, my drink in one hand, my super rad cigarette holder in the other- GOOD TIMES!

And, since I feel like I've lost ya already... here is the LO:

I super like my rosette... I inked the edges then dabbed some black velvet flock around it... looks cool huh? And the music sheet totally says 1926.. I thought that was a sweet detail, but that's just me.

Well, it's 12 o 'clock in the AM (Lady's Man) and Huzban is calling for me to come to bed... After work tomorrow I'll be having dinner with this little lady and then we are off to take this class at the greatest scrapbook store ever, Pink Pineapple Scrapbooks. I have a Pink Pineapple 3 day extravaganza coming (Thurs, Fri and Sat) crops and classes, gotta love it! WOO HOOO!

Nighty Night

Category Stories Challenge

Hey hey hey! How's it hanging?! I'm HOT! Geez... it's been like a billion degrees since Friday (more like 90s) and I'm so over it! It gives me a mean headache!

Anyways, I played along over at Category Stories for their new challenge: Movies! Check the details here... this is what I came up with.

My BFF and I can quote these movies like no other! These are the best "stupid funny" movies around- and there is a quote in each of them that can be used in all situations!

Do you ever quote a movie in a particular situation, and it's a totally perfect set up, but the other person has NO clue what you are talking about?!? LAME... makes me feel like a nerd...

Well, here is my take on the challenge:

AND... here is another LO I made for no specific reason at all.... I Love the cool button stamps... I stitched in them to give them a more realastic look.

That is all for now... have a rad day!!!

Paul Oakenfold, I {heart} you!

I had SO much fun at the Paul Oakenfold concert yesterday... I promise, Paul loves me too... the smiles, checking me out while dancing, the "what's up" nods- I PROMISE!

I danced the night away... so much so, that my body literally aches today! Like I have an ice pack on my leg right now! But SO, SO, SO, SO fun...

Anyway... here are some shots of him doing his thing- and of course, as soon as the show was over I booked over to the side of the stage and kindly asked for a photo- he said YES (cause he loves me too)!!

Ahhhhh... I LOVED it! Can you tell!?!?

Good times for sure, Paul, I love you!

I do have some crafty goodness to share... few challenge blog LO's and such. I'll get them up later this week...

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Good Times!

Had a blast last night with Ally, Nely and FINALLY met the great artist, Carrie!



You girls are AWESOME, I had SO much fun! I already can't wait for the next crop!!

In between laughing so hard that I cried (thanks Ally)! I managed to whip up this bad boy for the SATU Challenge: What's Your Secret?

My secret {kinda embarrassed here} is that I collect all things Alice In Wonderland- but it has to be Disney's Alice in Wonderland. Started collecting years ago and I have the raddest, most gnarly collection! LOVE Alice!!! Random Side Note: Tim Burton is making and Alice in Wonderland movie, with Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway- coming 2010- SO excited, Dude, Johnny Depp!?!?

K- have the best Easter ever!

THANK YOU SHAINA!!

Shaina rocks! Do you love my new blog look?!?! I do- SOOO much!!

Thanks Shaina for taking the time and hooking me up with a phattie blog!!

I LOVE IT!

SO excited that it's Friday- WOO HOO! Gonna head to my favorite scrapbook store, the Pink Pineapple for the April Birthday Crop, and hang with my peeps Ally & Nely. Always a good time!

Have a happy Easter all!

We like to act Crazy!

Morning All!

Hope you are having a great Wednesday! I'm SOOOOO tired this morning as I was up late last night cropping until 130am- Ugh, SO tired! But it's so nice to scrap when everyone is asleep. I can listen to my tunes, have a glass of wine and just go for it!

Here is a sweet layout I made of my daughter and I playing crazy with the camera... we LOVE to take crazy pics, especially my pudgy wudgy!

AND- huge congrats to the bestest scrapper ever- ALLY, for making the Design Team at the greatest scrapbook store ever, Pink Pineapple Scrapbooks- YAY ALLY! Your rock BBG#2!

@ the end of the day

Ta-Da! Cause at the end of the day, we all need a nice cold beer!

Check it here, The Creative Type- fun stuff!

Randomness:

Got this book that I can't wait to start reading. That is my plan for tomorrow... coffee and reading- perfect match! Fred Astaire rocks- I LOVE this kind of stuff. These movies are amazing, I especially like reading their biographies... Ava Gardner (lovely), Judy Garland- need I say more? Gene Kelly- OH Gene Kelly (LOVE HIM), Chet Baker (dude, if I could play a trumpet like this guy)!!

I'm working on a super fabulous project idea- I think it's pretty unique, can't wait to share- it's a twist on a layout... trying to determine the theme I want to use... Spring, love, family? We'll see...
Brain freeze: this challenge is kicking my butt.... what kind of powers do I want? Like really? You would think that'd be easy! I think I'm analyzing it way too much- whatevs...

Huzban (yes, that's how I spell it and that's what I call him) is watching Pineapple Express while I'm online, and it's sooooo funny! Have you seen it yet? Love Netflix, let me snuggle with him and finish this movie.

Buenas Noches!
