BYOM August kit pages and a fun card

Here are some fun pages I did with my August kit. I had some fun pics from Rita who had taken these of the kids while babysitting them. And finally I got to Jesse's 3rd Birthday, (he just turned 5). He had a fun SpiderMan themed party. The tag was from a tag swap from Scrapbook.com. I told my pal I needed a spiderman one and she did an awesome job. Worked perfect with my kit papers. Can't go wrong with reds and blues for boy parties. I was going stamp happy: stampin' up and close to my heart. Having all the coordinating colors helps make the ink match perfect.

Swap Items

These are two of the items I have created for a "altered stuff" swap at Scrapbook.com. I did some deco squares and altered playing cards. I used the fun ribbon stamps I got from CTMH. I also used some paper glaze over some parts and also glitter paint. They needed "something" and the glaze and glitter added that extra flare it was missing. The papers for the deco sqares were from a QVC kit I got awhile back and barely had even opened. The card papers were just from a paper pack. Making use of my stamps is really fun. I told myself I needed to use them more to get my moneys worth.

BYOM Online Crop

I did all these for the scrapbook club I am in online. We had an online crop. For those of you that don't know, they post challenges, we create layouts from them. The first one I did was SCOOTER. I have had these pics for awhile waiting to get the scooter from Jolee's. Then I had that and couldn't find where I put dang pictures. Well anyway, the challenge was to use only blue, green, and either white or black papers and embellies. Which didn't work for my scooter sticker. But since these are not graded, I used them anyways. Either way, it still inspired me to do it. The other challenge I used with the same layout was a sketch. My favorite kind of challenge.

The next layout was a funny embarrasing pet picture. I used the funny pic of our new kitty Nibson right after her first bath. I used my CTMH stamps and my new Martha Stewart font stamps.

It's The Tickle MOnster was done with an ad Challenge using this coffee ad:

Daughtry

Here is some pics from the Daughtry concert. It was soo much fun. I went with Georgia and her mom.

We took a bunch of pics with our cell phone, but they just didn't do the trick. I had planned on bringing my camera with me but when I went to get it out of my bag, I realized that I left it on my kitchen table. If I known that sooner I would have picked one up at Wal-Mart. So luckily Mindy Shores was there and hooked me up with some pics. Now I will have something to scrapbook. YEAH!!
