Scrap the Music

OK, so getting ready for vacation, I really am running against time, but when I checked out this week's scrap the music challenge, it just called to me. So I grabbed my favorite adult beverage (picture) and got my scrap on!!!



I have actually loved this song ever since I heard it on the Good Morning Vietnam Soundtrack (yes, I know it is older than that, but I'm not! LOL). But what a PERFECT song to sing right before I leave for DISNEY!!!!!

Kids Can Scrap Challenge #1

OK, so it was inevitable that my kids would be scrappers, right? There is this awesome new challenge blog for kids only!! It's called Kids Can Scrap and they are holding their first challenge this month. Here is what my little scrappers came up with...

Bailee (age 12)...


and here are Logan's creations (age 6)...



If you haven't checked out this blog and you have kids, I highly recommend it!!

Some more Scrappin Sports projects to share...

Can I just tell you how I LOVE the Scrappin Sports papers?!?! These were a couple of my November projects I wanted to share with you! I am now officially live from my hotel room where I will be for the rest of the week. The good news...I packed a BUNCH of scrappy stuff to play with since I didn't have to watch kids, fix dinner, etc. Now if I can get my camera to upload to this laptop, I might have a few things to share!

High School Musical 3

Have you been drug to see this movie yet? I took Bailee on opening weekend and I have to admit, I actually enjoyed the movie. It is sort of the Grease of her generation. Being the good daughter of a scrapper (DOS), she promptly posed for me outside the movie theatre and this layout was born! The cut out of Troy and Gabriella are from a book cover she got at the Disney Store and the chipboard comes from the awesome Magistical Memories Oh...and the cool musical note paper is one of the newer lines from Boxer!

See what a clean scraproom will do?

I am a scrapping fool lately!!! Woohoo!!! And the best part...I am going on a business trip next week and will have all my evenings alone in my hotel room to scrap (well, except for the nights when I meet with friends, but still...) I am not looking forward to the long work days, but I am looking forward to the nights to scrap and relax. I know that Shane will do a wonderful job with my munchkins, so I can breathe a sigh of relief.

OK...have to share one of my layouts I did with some really awesome Magistical Memories Chipboard...(who can resist POTTY PEOPLE??? I mean REALLY???)

Has anyone seen Surf's Up?? One of the characters calls all his trophies "Ladies" and Logan has decided that is what his trophies should be called. He even named them women's names. That kid cracks me up on a daily basis, I swear!!!

And a final share for the night...I AM GONNA BE AN AUNT!!! (Ok, so I am already an aunt) but Shane's sister is having a BABY!!!!! This is the sister that Bailee went to stay with in Florida...the infamous "Aunt Ashley" of whom my daughter adores. Bailee is over the moon excited about it and so are we. So please join with me and saying a pray (or a kind thought) that they have a healthy baby and an easy pregnancy. WE LOVE YOU ASHLEY AND JASON (and baby!!!!)
