Introducing Scrapbook Sunday and a Scrappy Sketch!!

Hi everyone! I have some fun news to share today!! Back in the day I used to be an avid scrapbooker - long before I discovered stamping. But then just over a year ago I started looking at Splitcoast more, and then found blogging, and then screeeeeech - my scrappin' came to a big hault! But lately I've really been itching to get back into the groove. The reason I even had kids was because they'd be so darn much fun to scrapbook (KIDDING!!) and now, all of the sudden, my son is already two and a half and I've done NOTHING in his book to speak of!! I knew my blogging friend Cyndi was posting scrapbook challenges, and I kept hoping I'd start playing them. I hadn't seen one in a couple weeks, so I left her a comment just asking what was up - and next thing I know she's emailing me, asking if I'd like to be part of her little Scrappy Sunday sketch team! So here I am! What fun!! I'm hoping it will be a good kick in the pants to get me going on the kids' books. I always try to do scrapping in big blocks of time, but really, getting one layout done once a week (or every other week) is more realistic for me, and if I keep doing it - voila, I'll have made progress!! But you're going to have to bare with me for a bit... I am extremely rusty in the scrapping department! It took me FOREVER to make this layout and I'm not even thrilled with it!! But at least I'm doing it. :-) So, head on over to Cyndi's blog and check out this week's challenge. Until school starts back up we'll be posting these every other week. And if you have a chance to play along, be sure to let Cyndi know so she can check it out (and so we all can!). Also hop on over and see what Lynn did this week as well! Thanks for taking a look - mom is cooking brunch (woohoo!) and it's ready, so I need to run - I'll come back later and post my recipe (famous last words for me... I often forget to actually do that so we'll see...). ;-)

  11. Hi Libby ~~ I came to your blog from Leslie Miller's ~~ when she said you do a challenge using your daughters wardrobe, I just had to take a peek!!! First of all YOUR DAUGHTER IS THE CUTEST!!!! She appears to be quite happy ~~ lucky you!! Second, great idea for the challenge ~~ God didn't give me girls, just boys, as he knew I wouldn't be able to afford all the darling little girl clothes I would want!! LOL!! Great looking blog ~~ I'm going to have to go back now, of course!!!
