Renaissance Festival

I know that this may make me geeky but I am so excited about going to the Renaissance Festival this weekend! I went to one back in the summer and had a lot of fun. This one is suppose to be a lot bigger. This weekend is Pirates weekend. I wonder if I can find me a pirate!

Part of me wants to go dressed in the renaissance garb like everyone else but part of me is afraid to. I plan on trying a turkey leg. I have never had one. I am taking a friend with me. I hope she doesn't regret agreeing to go. One things for sure, I should have something to scrapbook when I get back. Oh well, that's what's getting me through this day. Not been a great one but hopefully it will get better.

OK that's the end of my ramblings.

The last of my baby book

These are the last of my baby paper bag book pages.
There isn't anything fancy here. These are the first two that I did. I guess I was just trying to get back into it again.





I loved this paper. It had the word Mother written all over it in several different languages. I just love that.







I only used one of my stamps with this book, primarily because I realized that I didn't have or at lest couldn't find the stuff to clean my stamps with. I hate leaving them with ink on them.



I am not really crazy about this paper but I think it came together well and still looks little girlish.





Out of these three this one is my favorite.



These pages I really wanted to be designated for Dad but I couldn't find anything that I had that said Dad on it. Oh well I guess it doesn't really matter.





This one was kind of tedious. I don't think I realized how long it would take to cut this out. However, I like the results.



OK that's it. I know that I am going to have to start something new now but I am at a loss as to what. I may try to join in more challenges and really begin to do some things for me. I haven't done much for myself. I like to do things for other people. I would really like to do an album based on maps maybe I could try that next. We shall see. Thanks for all the comments. :)

Second, Third and Fourth Challenge! and then some.

OK well I am going to try to put up more of my paper bag book that I have been working on. I decided to try my hand at a few more challenges. This one is for Scrapbooking Stampede's sketch.



I loved this paper.

The next challenge I decided to try was for Mojo Monday sketch. I like the way it turned out, however once it was done I see things that I could have done better. I guess everyone is like that thou.



The last one I did was for a sketch from Unscripted Sketches.



OK so that's all that I did for challenges. I did get some inspiration for the rest of my pages from looking at every one's work. Thanks for posting such pretty and interesting pages.

This idea came out of a magazine, pulse the bedding that's being used in her baby's room is all done in mushrooms and snails. I Love mushrooms, almost as much as Momiji loves owls. ;)



another page using mushrooms. I am not showing them in order, I hope no one cares.



The insert that I did to match it.



The next three pages I did are probably my favorite. I got this idea out of a magazine as well.







I have a few more pages that I can post but at the moment I need to go for now. If anyone has any suggestions on what to do to improve I am all ears. Thanks.

My First Challenge!!

I haven't done any scrapbooking in a really long time. I decided to make a paper bag book for a woman that I work with who just had a baby girl. While I was working on this book my friend, Momiji, told me about these challenges she was doing on her blog. After some time I decided to check it out and it helped me to get back into the spirit of scrapbooking.

I have finally finished a page that I am going to enter into Get Sketchy's SG4#. I like this one because it was so different from what I am use to doing.



I am going to post the rest hopefully tomorrow. It's a bit late and I think Hollie would like me to leave now. :)

Fall

I Love Fall! I know it wont be fall until September 22 but today, to me at lest, feels like a fall day. The leaves on the trees outside my house are starting to change colors and the stores are getting all the cold weather cloths in. It makes me want to pull out my boots and sweaters. I am also feeling my knitting fever coming on. I need to get all my UFOs (unfinished objects) out and get some work done. Now that my friend has Finally gotten me to start blogging I am thinking about trying to find some knitting challenges to get involved with. Maybe it will do for me what the scrap booking challenges have done for her.
Oh well, thats what I have been thinking about today.
