Busy Busy Busy

Well you can imagine we are all kinds of busy at my house right now...new baby, ornery older brothers (to their credit, they are fine alone, it's just when you get the 5.5 and 3 yr olds together they are at each other's throats!)...then mix in a Daddy with strep throat, and now a 5.5 yr old with strep...luckily Mom is staying with us through Saturday or Sunday, so we do have plenty of help! And it was pure bliss the other night when my Sunday School teacher brought over a meal:) Even Mom got to put her feet up and not worry about what we were all eating that night.

So of course I'm also trying to keep up with some scrapbooking challenges on a couple of my favorite digital sites. Hey, a new mom is supposed to rest, and what better thing to do when resting than scrap! (it's perfectly logical, and productive to boot!)

The people who wanted to see my "basketball" have already seen this on a local list, but I wanted to post it here too:



JWD Merry Days Twelfth (white paper)
JWD Academy Art paper (brown swirls)
JWD Flourished Stamps (flourishes around circular photo)
JWD Sandcastle ribboned eyelet
JWD Rough Beginnings Word Art
JWD Sugared Tissue alpha

JWD round tag from Jessica Sprague "Digi in Deep" class
"sketch"/inspiration from Jessica Sprague and Rekindle tag (colored tag)
Rhonna Farrer Cabaret Fever overlay
Michelle Coleman glitter plum paper
Diane Miller Doting paper template (I colored the brown/purple swirls)
Mandy Steward embed style (for the brown/purple swirls)

I may have to go get that embed style...it is too cool!!! Congrats! BTW, my first 3 were boys also. Then came my girl...they are 19, 17, 15 & 8. Enjoy them while they are small. Teenagers are tough! ;)
