Birthday Pics and September Frames

Good golly Gertie, I didn't mean to be running so late today! That's the story of my life these days!
Thanks for all the wonderful, sweet birthday wishes! I cannot tell a lie, I had more than one margarita, but ya'll already knew that was gonna happen! Here is a pic Mel took for me. She said "I'm gonna get real close so all the mess won't show." Could she be implying that my desk is a pig sty? ROTFL!!! The gorgeous flowers came from Matt the Brat and My Girl. Look closely, they are in a... MARGARITA GLASS!!!! How cool is that?!?! The office gang sent a candy and balloon bouquet, chocolate, of course!

Now on to the frames. I waffled back and forth about the "real" look versus the felt elements, and finally decided to do a little of both. Password is: fall

September Papers

Here are the papers for the September Color kit. I couldn't help it, I had to use the woodsy look again! It just seemed to fit so well with the fall colors of this months swatch. The orangey one is my fave, it has some really great texture. Password is: woody The frames are done, and the stuff is in the works (I just have to decide which direction I want to go). I started out doing felt elements, but then they didn't coordinate with the frames. This is how I end up over-doing it every time!

Roxined,
Thank you so much for the kind words. I too scrapped in paper for many, many years. I went digital in 2006 and haven't made a paper page since! If you would like to email me, my addy is in my profile or on the side bar, and I would be glad to share some great tutorials that I used when I started. Quick pages are a great way to get your feet wet learning about layers and moving around in your photo program and ending up with a nice LO. If you get that wide format printer figured out, you will have to give me some tips. ROTFL!!! I have had mine for over a year and have only printed about a dozen pages. I scrap in 12 x 12, resize to 8 x 8, print on my regular photo printer and put into the 8 x8 albums from The Paper Studio.
Welcome to Bubbles Babbles,
Vicki (Bubbles)

Ya'll may have noticed the "follow" in the side bar. This is something new that Blogger has come out with. It works kinda like Feedburner, but without the day late emails. From what I have seen so far, it is pretty much real time. So, if you have a Google account, feel free to sign up!

In other news, I am thinking about updating the blog. I really want to go to a three column layout, but I am afraid of crashing the whole thing. If anyone has any tips on this I would be most grateful!

Summer Cocktail

The Grandparents Day lunch was great! Wyatt was so excited, he didn't even want to play on the playground after lunch. He said he didn't want to miss a minute! He is truly my Sweetie Pie. You know you really love your grandbaby when you leave work to drive 80 miles roundtrip to have a 30 minute lunch in a school cafeteria!
Today Vicki20 http://vicki20.blogspot.com/ will start the release of "Summer Cocktail". Here is my LO and the QP. This photo is from our Cancun trip. Matt and Shawna are so sweet together! Password is: smooch Although this kit is called "Summer Cocktail", I think the colors will be great for your fall LO's, too. Just to let ya'll know, on Mondays from now on my post will not be until after 11:30 AM, so that I can coordinate with Vicki's kit release.

Worth the Wait?

Busy, busy, busy! I've got so much going on, it doesn't seem like I'm ever gonna get anything finished! I did, however, manage to complete this LO that I created using the "Precious Pumpkin" kit by vicki20 @ http://vicki20.blogspot.com/ This kit is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! You can get this kit for yourself just by signing up for the Scrap N' Art news letter. I'm pretty danged proud of this page, even if I do say so myself! Password is: fall I know it's been slim pickins' around here this week, but maybe this page was worth the wait! I hope to be able to finish up some of my projects this weekend so that next week will be better. The papers are done for the September Color kit, I think ya'll will like this one.
I have to get to work now, I have a very important lunch date. I am going to Sweetie Pie Wyatt's school for the Grandparents Day lunch!

Boys Will Be Boys QP (and a tiny 2-fer)

Today we have a page made from "Boys Will Be Boys" by the fab Vicki20 @http://vicki20.blogspot.com/ I really had fun with the doodle frame. Jump right on over there and snag this kit for yourself! Be sure and tell her I sent 'ya and please leave her some love.

Password is: grin I hope everyone had a terrific Labor Day weekend! I didn't go anywhere, just hung around the house till yesterday, then I went over to Matt & Shawna's. We didn't barbeque, My Girl made enchiladas and boy howdy, they were good! Then I made homemade ice cream, I thought for a while I was gonna have to try the double ziplock bag trick, the ice cream freezer is on it's last legs and just barely sputtered along, but I babied it till till the ice cream finally froze. Wyatt ate THREE bowls!

While playing around with some actions on Sunday, I came up with this felt watermelon! I was very pleased with it! Zoom in and check it out, it really does look like felt! I made a bunch of felt stuff, but thought I would give the watermelon today, in case any one could use it for their last picnic of the summer photos.
