Scrapping right along!

I've been very lucky, and this past week, I've gotten a lot of scrapping done. My favorite online group had a crop that went from Wednesday to Sunday, and I finished 10 different challenges. I impressed myself. Here's some of what I'm happy to have finished:

  Ta-da! Love this layout, I'll be using it again! And I was inspired by the tv show challenge too, hence "the apprentice" title.

So, as you can see, it was a very productive weekend! And I have to thank my hubby, 'cause he looked after the boys for almost all of Saturday, and spent the day cleaning while I was in my jammies and scrapping.

Busy scrapping!

Did this one just this morning, and LOVE how it turned out! This was a sketch challenge posted by my friend Janie. Love the 2-step stamping on the soccer balls - was able to make it a nice yellow to match the boys' shirts.

A House of Sickies

We have been a little under the weather this past week. Nicholas celebrated his 6th birthday, with a little help from his friend, buddy, and next door best neighbor Alejandro. But it was a simple celebration, as Daddy has had first the flu, then strep throat, resulting in him being off work for the entire week. Now he's finally feeling better, and the plan is for him to go in tomorrow. But guess what... yes, I've picked it up, but I think I'm getting it faster - I was feverish and down for the count for only one day, not three, and the sore throat and swollen glands are today, on day two. At this rate, I should be all better by tomorrow! Wishful thinking? Yeah, likely.
