Good News

| cristina

I got the final grades for this semester and I’m very happy with how I did all this year! 😀

And today my mom’s visit is less than a month away! 😀
I did this page for a challenge at TDC and I realized I have few pictures of me and my mom together: will have to take more next month! 😉
This picture was taken when she came to visit in June of last year. It was great, but the weather was really too hot.. (and it really was the only hot week we had.. pity!) I’m hoping we get luckier this year!

I got a couple of comments in the gallery saying how much my mom & me look alike. I didn’t really think that was the case, but I’m very pleased to hear it! Yes, you can probably tell we’re related 🙂 but we’re not all that alike.. Or are we? 🙂

Then I did the journaling page for my January summary, I’ll get the picture page done tonight.

I gotta say I like Wednesdays: it’s donut day and once Wednesday’s over the week just rolls away!

All Caught Up!

| cristina

Since I started Project 365 this year, I’ve never had a problem taking one picture each day, but in March (Week 11) I started slacking and not working on my weekly 2-pagers. Then, 3 weeks later I luckily found out about the incentive program at Weeds & Wildflowers so since Week 14 I’ve always worked on Sunday to complete the weekly LO and was always caught up, except for that 3-week gap in March.
This weekend, thanks to the Queen of Scrap push, I finally got those LOs done too, so I can finally show you my all missing weeks up to now. 🙂

It’s great to be all caught up, and I believe I’ll never fall behind again, because I work on placing the pictures and journaling during the week, and finish up the LOs on Sundays. 😀 It works great for me! 😉

It’s Only Monday..

| cristina

It’s only Monday, but I’m tired tonight.. I think I’ll call it an early night!

I managed to get a whopping 3 LOs done tonight. 😉
2 more pages from our walk in the park last week (and I have many more pretty pictures from that occasion to scrap):

Also, I have big news: yesterday I finally got all caught up with my Project 365 LOs (I had a 3-week gap from March and it’s finally filled in) and I’ll show you tomorrow all the weeks I haven’t shown yet. 😀

Whew! And the weekend isn’t even over yet!

| cristina

I’ve had lots of scrapping time this weekend, and I certainly made the most of it! 😉 And I’m not even done for today! 😀

Here are 4 LOs with pictures from Thursday, and I’ll be scrapping more soon. I took a lot of gorgeous pictures! (not that it was hard at all.. the flowers in the park were stunning!)

The 2 birdies on the left are glued on the card, while those on the right are all digital (shadow included).
I also did another card, but I cannot show if for a couple of weeks.. 😉

Fun Weekend

| cristina

I haven’t scrapped the last part of the week, but I’m catching up this weekend. 🙂

First, the matching page for the April summary:

Then I plunged into hybrid and did a frame for a 4×4″ picture that had been sitting around our house for a long time. I used a cereal box for the structure and prettied everything up with Mod Podge:

I also did a thank you card:

Off to scrap some more. 😉

April Summary Page

| cristina

Since I’m doing Project 365 and doing 2 LOs for each week, I wasn’t planning on doing monthly summaries.. But then this month’s workshop at The DigiChick is exactly that, and when I saw the template for the first monthly summary, I couldn’t resist. So, I guess now I’m doing monthly summaries. 🙂

Lots of Projects, Not Enough Time!

| cristina

I’ve been doing so many things lately than I hardly have time to blog them! 😉

After a few weeks of quiet, I have gotten back to doing some hybrid cuteness. 🙂

First, a motivation album I put together in the April workshop at TheDigiChick:


and then some notepads and clips (for a hybrid challenge at TDC):

Finally, a digi LO for sketch challenge, yet at TDC!

I love all the goodies I picked up at TDC this weekend: I got some gorgeous kits by Sugarplum Paperie (Meadowlark, My Heart’s Song and Strawberry Cafe Revisited), Pamela Donnis’ grab bag and Mira Designs’ grab bag. Just AWESOME! 😉 Too much good stuff, and too many projects, if only I had enough time to do it all! 🙂

Catching Up After NSD

| cristina

NSD is over and I must say I really had fun! However, I didn’t win anything.. 🙁 Too bad, because there were some great, great giveaways! Well, at least I took advantage of the sales and picked up some great freebies.

I still have to share a page from Saturday:

I’ll do a couple more pages with pictures of this tiny bunny soon.

I didn’t scrap yesterday, but I completed (well, almost) a hybrid motivation album – I’ll try to take some good pictures later.

NSD Fun

| cristina

There’s lots of games and sales going on for NSD and I’ve had lots of fun so far!

There’s a 40% sale at TheDigiChick and I picked up some gorgeous stuff from Sugarplum Paperie. Scrapmatters is at 40% too!
But more importantly, I got some scrapping done! 😉
The first one is a scrap of a gorgeous page by gabs.

Then I did the first 2 LOs with the pictures I took on Sunday. So much cuteness!!!!! Awwwwwww!

I’ve slacked but I’ve got some work to do by Monday… :/ Guess it’ll wait until tomorrow! 😉

Happy NSD!

| cristina

Last night DH and I bought, installed and cooked on a new grill!!! We’re so happy to finally have it! 😀
Unfortunately, the weather was bad (windy and rainy), but luckily we have a covered deck. Still, it was a bit chilly and it took us over 2 hours to assemble it (opposed to the 45 minutes that was estimated in the instructions), nonetheless it was worth it! 😀

Happy NSD everyone! I have lots of work to do and tonight I’m volunteering at an event at our Church (DH signed me up without knowing it was NSD..) so I’ll probably partecipate in the fun events starting from tomorrow. I have work to do in the weekend, but I hope to squeeze in a few games and scrapping. 😉 Hope you all enjoy the big sales and have fun with the social events!

ETA: There’s a great giveaway going on at The Hybrid Chick and you can’t miss it if you’re into hybrid!
