An apology, Scrap Challenge #2, & 2008 Rewind Part II

First off, please let me apologize. I'm sorry that I failed to update as promised. Life has a way of sidetracking like no other. I could blame it on back spasms, or a sudden onset of arthritis in my right hand, or the fact that I'm waiting for Criss to email me a pick of her project. but what kind of woman would I be if I didn't accept the responsibility. So if you haven't clicked me off already, I'd like to show ya our 2nd Scrap Challenge. This is the remainder of two Making Memories Spellbound Page kits that were left over from our Nightmare Before Christmas make and take. We added a pack of vinyl stickers (also by Making Memories), ribbon and brads. So, since all the patterned paper and embellishments had been provided, the only acceptable addition was cardstock.
And here you have it ...

Somewhat similar and yet so different. I think she eyed my sketch. (he he). Why else would both our pics be on the same side of the page?

And for segment two of the 2008 Rewind:

For Valentine's Day we made mailboxes, cards, and nugget tins. We ended up making 17 mailboxes. That was a long night.

I made thank you notes for Criss' sister who had a beautiful baby girl.

A card I made for my sister, Donnetta, who got married this year.

Lots of milestones last year. Well, that concludes today's flashback. What milestones did you celebrate in '08? We'd love to know - feel free to leave us a comment.

Check back soon for our 3rd Scrap Challenge and more 2008 memories.

Thanks for stopping by!

The Return...

I know. I know. Bad Blogger. I apologize; somehow the month of December flew by without a single update. But to make it up to ya, I’m committing to a full week of new posts. That’s right a new post everyday this week. Even if I have to force Criss to make her debut appearance at the keyboard (oh, I meant ask her nicely). And what exactly shall I discuss everyday for a week, you ask. Why this would be the perfect opportunity to look back on 2008 and welcome in the New Year. So with that said “2008 Rewind” begins now:

At CKC in Jan Criss won 2 copies of Ali Edwards’ “A Designer’s eye for Scrapbooking with Patterned Paper”. Yep two.

And I bought way too much. Esp since I haven’t even used half this stuff.

I finally finished this scrapbook one year later. Better late than never, right.

Well, that's all for today. Tomorrow I have more 2008 memories to share, I promise. No really.

Thanks for visiting.
