on a roll

Pin It Now!

i really don't know how it happened but i'm on a bit of a scrapping roll ever since i got my first Studio Calico in the mail.  i'm like the energizer bunny i just keep going and going and going....

warning this is a photo heavy post.  

first though i had one of the best - if not THE best weekend of the summer.  even though it's freezing now here.  and not even joking, it's that cold.  Sat night our friends Paul and Joanna came over with their two little boys and we all had so much fun.  went to the park with the kiddos and then after they went to bed pigged out on food and K&Paul watched Transformers while J and I scrapped.

did some of these when J was here and some prior: 

i have been saving this pink paislee scalloped paper for a while now and finally decided to use it.  did this layout of kat and i - the journalling is all about how different we are yet similar in the ways that matter. 

when i saw this American Crafts paper i knew i wanted to cut it like a city scape - had this pic of layna and i and so used it in this layout, there was a man in the background but covered him with a felt sticker ;) - in university i gave layna a card and told her she was my little black dress of a friend so made that the title of this layout.  
i LOVE the way this one turned out.  had these pics from this summer by my parents pool.  i love the colours here.  
this one is my fave of the SC kit this month - i love this emblem (the red one) and made the flowers from the jenni bowlin crepe ribbon to match my hair band in the pics.  
decided to try an altered project so covered this journal (and i have to admit, i think the title is SO clever) 
love this page b/c of the story behind it - my brother in law does this funny face (no that's not his actual smile ha ha) - he and his friends each have one, slightly different but each ridiculous.  i think it's so funny when he does it.  it used to take him a few minutes to set it up but now he can do it almost instantly.  
loooove this memory - my niece's 5th bday party - she was so hilarious, almost delirious with excitement. 

last one - i tried rub ons!!!! i was nervous but i think it turned out well.
