Then and Now

I'm trying to find my way out of my scrapping rut. I haven't scrapped much at all in 2010, I want 2011 to be different. So tonight I went and picked out some new kits to play with and did a simple layout.

This is my DH and his brothers. The top photo was taken Christmas Eve 2000 and the bottom was taken this Christmas Eve. After we took the pictures I got a kick out of the similarities between the photos. And there are some many of them, from the clothes they are wearing to the way the are standing. It's almost like a 'find the differences' photo LOL

For this layout I used:
Joyful Christmas by Kate's Digital Designs
tab (recolored) from SAS Designs

Gourmet Challenge

Every month at MLAS I host the Gourmet Challenge. It's a fun challenge where I give you a 'recipe' and use it to create a layout. Here is my layout. I would love it if you would come play with me!!!

This layout is about the 100th birthday party we did for my Great-Grandmother. She had so much fun visiting with everyone.

Lots going on at MLAS!!!

First there are lots of things going on at MLAS. There are some great challenges going on that will get you scrapping some of those great photos that have been waiting on you!
There are also some great sales going on so you can pick up some fabulous kits to add to your collection.


So it's been a while since I have really posted! The stomach bug has been making the rounds in my house this week. It has not been fun. DD has it today so maybe now that it's hit us all it will leave!!! Christmas is almost here and I still have not found the Christmas spirit ;/ We don't have the tree up and I won't be able to do my shopping until next week. We thought we would get a live tree this year. But Thanksgiving weekend we were really busy and didn't have a chance, then last weekend I had the bug and DS was just getting over it. I hope we have a chance this weekend to go out and find that perfect tree! If not I'm going to pull out my small artificial one and call it done. This has been such a hard few months with DH barely working, I'm thankful he's back to working full time. I hope the next year will be easier on us!!!

Lots of things going on ;)

A new round of challenges started the 16th. Which one is your favorite? I think my favorite is the mystery lift challenge b/c I love seeing how different the layouts can turn out, even when we are all following the same directions! My other favorite would be the Gourmet Challenge because yours truly hosts the second part of this challenge!! I hope you will come play with us!
