a few to share

Here are a few of the layouts I have been working on lately. I'm trying to use up the Studio Calico Kits that I have hoarded for the last year to 18 months.Yes I know a year and i haven't touched them but there just so pretty and I'm just a nerd! Anywho the first 2 are using the October 2008 Looking Glass kit and the 3rd one uses the new Home Front Collection. The 4th is just a stash layout using bits and pieces of this and that.

that's all for now thanks for taking a peek.

Ella Publishing Week 6

Yes its already week 6 of the Ella Publishings 6 weeks of sketches blog challenge I have had a lot of fun creating layouts these past 6 weeks. I've been able to dabble into the digi world a little more fun stuff if you haven't tried you should.

Here is the sketch from this week

and here is my take on the sketch

Thanks for stopping by. I have more to share tomorrow or Friday morning. I created 2 layouts the other night that I think I really really love. I've been scrapping a bit when I haven't been snuggled up in bed. 5 weeks till surgery day and I'll be feeling better which means less time in bed and more time to create woot woot!!!

Ella Publishing Week 5

Here is week 5 sketch Here's my take on the sketch. As you can see I only did one page not the 2 page spread. I also flipped the right page around a little, I swapped the smaller photos on the right side to the left side then I put the 4x6 photo on top of the title and journaling . Hope that makes sense. Yes more Mandy Rambling!
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.

Love Day in the Snow

Here at the House of K we celebrated Love Day with a Snow Party. The 5 of us(yes me too brrr) went out to enjoy the foot or more of snow we have in the backyard yesterday even the 2 dogs joined the fun. We went sledding, played in the snow, and Mr. K and the kids had a snowball fight.Then the 5 of us stayed in to thaw out the rest of the day. Here's some pics of the events.

SAWEET



Saturday I had some time to myself so what should I do?hmm go thrifting & antiquing.I went to 3 stores with a little list of goodies that I was hoping to find but really didn't think I would.To my amazement i found what was on my list and more.I was as giddy as a school girl when i checked out with this box full of goodness.oh by the way I only took $20 in cash (i had back up just in case i found a must have)I came home with all that is in the photo except the typewriter and still had some moohlah left over. Here is a photo of my goodies. I have to give credit to the fab Mr. K for the beautiful typewriter he found me Saturday night while we were shopping in Grand Rapids he got it for a steal and made his wifey ever so happy.Loves him!!

Wooden Box of goodies: valentines, Bingo cards, joke cards, vocab cards, milk caps, a journal of experiments, old ice cream wrapper kinda like the one in the SC addon woot woot, boarding tags and a envie with photo negatives

1930's Royal typewriter that works just like it did in the 30's

now I have a little itch and a list of other goodies to hopefully find so my moms and I are going to go to a few more place this weekend to see what we can find.I'm excited!

I'm GOOD!!


Yes that girl you see right there ME is good. We woke up at 7:24 am and i got all 3 kids & myself ready out the door and to school on time by 7:50. I thought for sure we'd be an hour late just getting ready and all (Mav had a shower and a poptart this morning too). To reward Miss A and I for our fab job this a.m. we went to McD's for breakfast. Now I'm researching diapers for the Dude ugh what a pain that is but it will work and he'll be ok with them.Gotta make phone calls, run errands, and take back some stuffs then I think I'm going to scrap for a bit before the Bigs get home from school. Oh can't forget I have to pack everyone's weekend bags too since their all going away for the weekend.Mr K and I have a date tonight woohoo!

Hope ya'll have a great weekend!Thanks for stopping by!
