{the anxiety has began to set in...

...with now only 5 weeks left in my pregnancy I'm starting to have so many emotions about it all...worried about the house not being done, anxious to meet the little squirrel who has been keeping me up at night, tears, crabbiness....oh boy my poor hubby has been dealing with it all lately...
...so, what else to do but to scrapbook about it!

{he's rockin the beer shades...

Had lots of fun last night at Scrapaganza's crop night....really tired today, but it was nice to have a night of fun chattin with Penny, my mom & my sis. Also got to see lots of other fun scrappy gals I've gotten to know too!

My first layout was for Studio Calico's Sunday Sketch. The original layout was from the amazingly talented Lisa Truesdell {aka gluestick girl}...she's one of my many "scrap crushes"...

Loved the "no photo" layout created by the awesome Sasha over at Shabby Chic Crafts during love week and just had to give it a shot! It was fun {and challenging} not to add a photo on there!

Be sure and head on over to The Story Matters for a sketch challenge I am hosting too!

{It's the day...It's the day!!!

It's the big day over at The Story Matters with our first kit going up for sale at 10am!

And that means I get to share my layouts...whoot! whoot!

This was my first layout that I did when I got the kit...loved the vintage goodness and oh, those homemade buttons!!!
Photobucket

for the yellow on this one, I punched from the Imaginisce stamp package...

Love the vintage Mother Goose book page that comes with the kit! Perfect for my nieces pics. {I cut out the center so that I wouldn't waste the middle of the page and can use it later!}
Photobucket
{The polka dot half circles are the backs of the Graphic 45 Die Cut Domestic Goddess Alpha's...I used this sheet for lots of different things on my layouts!}


For my "losing site" layout I added a few different colors of cardstock from my stash and it totally changes the look! Love how versatile this kit is!
Photobucket




A simple page using bits and pieces...love that Imaginisce stamp!
Photobucket


and my last layout...I added a piece of turquoise cardstock & misting to make the colors in the kit pop in a different way...
Photobucket


A super simple card...

and a little sign for my laundry room...

ETA: The only reason I didn't play with the Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Embossing Powder is because my heat gun is in storage right now. As soon as I can I WILL be playing with that powder!

Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with using this great kit!
