catching up

...again. It seems to be the story of my life right now.

Here are a couple more layouts from the last scrap day I had. Oh and I did get the Pannacotta recipe (thanks Jill) and I have made it for tomorrow night's desert. yum!!

a little late, but...

as promised.

Today is the last day of autumn break here and tomorrow the children go back to school. I love having the kids home, but I am happy to get back to a little more structured routine. We had a great break, had my parents here over Easter, then they took the kids to their place for a whole week. Steve and I had a staycation and it was wonderful, like a second honeymoon.


So here are the layouts I did last month:

I will have to post the others tomorrow.

thanks for dropping by.

some paper scrapping

Last weekend I got some paper scrapping done! I really miss it, but couldn't give up digi. The lovely ladies at Scrapping With Soul put on the most amazing scrap days and the food is out of this world - I really need that white chocolate panacotta with Frangelico grapes recipe.

So here is a sneak peak at the layouts I got done last Saturday:

six of them!! I will post them in more detail this week.

hope you are having a great weekend,

Amanda

there goes March

Boy this year is flying by. We had a great March with gorgeous weather and some fun family times.

Digi scrapping wise March was a great month:

March issue of DAM is gorgeous!! And such a bargain at $4.50.

And you can see my step by step layout guide for this layout inside along with a little insight into my creative process:



Tracy Ann had a Luck Dip in March -yayyy. But you need to hurry if you want to purchase it, as today is the last day.

The lilypad March BYOC was amazing, especially with Holly as the guest designer. Here is one of my layouts:

Here are a few other favorite March digi layouts:

Bliss

Forever and ever

World Traveller

I also went to a crop last weekend and got 6 layouts done. I am sure that was a record. I will post them later though.

fun things

House of 3 are having a house warming party this weekend. It looks like so much fun and I am loving what I have seen of the gorgeous house warming books the girls have done! I can't wait to see more and will be doing this project myself.

I have updated by blog with the cute free house warming blogwear. I can not tell you just how awesome the Hof3 blogwear is, so easy and so cute!

I just hope I don't miss out on too much fun being in a totally different time zone.

Something else I am super excited about, starting Monday I will be doing a Jessica Sprague class! YES I got into Candice Stringham's photography class. I can't wait to start, but first I need to go dig up the manual that came with the camera.

some recent layouts

Here are a couple of lilypad layouts I have done recently:

I am hosting the blog challenge at the lilypad this Tuesday, so come on over and check it out!

I am also looking forward to the new BYOC coming out this Friday, we have no clues yet as to who the guest designer will be this month.

oh dear

I am a bad blogger!!

But at least my blog looks pretty. Thanks to the fabulously talented girls at House Of 3. I am so excited about this site. Rhonna Farrer was the reason I started digi and I will always find her inspiring. I am super, super excited because I get to interview the House girls for DAM!!

Speaking of DAM, the next issue should be out very soon. I always get the jitters when a new issue comes out, I just love reading and looking at all the eye candy.

I have some other great news. I am now CTing for the lovely Shen of Creashens!! I just love her work and am so excited to be part of her team.
