A few recent layouts

I think I'm making up for those 3 weeks when I did hardly any scrapping! Here are some of my most recent layouts.

This one is a scraplift of Jean P at our Sisterhood of Scrap blog.

This was for a challenge at Lovebug Scrapbooking. We're having a "When the Kat's away, the mice will play" week full of games and challenges.

This was also for a challenge at Lovebug Scrapbooking. It's a part of the "Oh Snap" contest that's going on for the summer.

Another for the Oh Snap contest at Lovebug.

YAAH!! New books!

I am so excited! The librarian called me and said the books I had on hold were in! I've been waiting for this last book in Lynn Austin's "Chronicles of the Kings" series. I love her style of writing, AND, this particular series is about the kings of Israel, so I am learning a LOT about the Old Testament kings. It's great!

Some recent layouts...

I did a layout for the UNPUBBED blog challenge. What a great blog! Here is the layout I did, and I just realized that I used the same background paper as the famer, Colleen, used!

This is a photo of my dad when he was around 2 yrs old. I just love seeing pictures of him and trying to find similarities between him and his grandchildren.

I also did this layout based on a sketch by Selena. I used Crate Paper ZOOM, which I received in the mail this week. I have no idea who sent it (well, I have the name but I don't recognize who it is) but I sure appreciate it! I've been eyeing it for a while now :-) THANKS so much Tracey S. from Arizona!

I did another couple of layouts but I can't post them yet. They're for a DT call. I'll be able to post them in a day or two.

Top 5 TV shows

I don't watch a lot of TV, but I do have a couple of faves :-)

1. LOST -which I am upset because it won't be starting again until NEXT year!!
2. A Baby Story -love seeing and hearing about labor stories!
3. The Office - this is one of those shows you either love or hate! One of my TOP shows!

That's about all I can come up with. I watch Survivor at times, but I sort of lost interest. They need to change things up a bit. I used to watch CSI, but got out of that as it comes on so late here in Newfoundland.

Snappin' Summertime Challenge

I'm participating in Deanne's Snappin' Summertime Challenge. She has a list of 65 items that she is challenging us to get photos of during this summer. At the end of the summer, we should have quite a collection of "snaps" to scrap :-)
