Family and Blog candy

I LOVE to scrap!! I've been doing some LO's lately and I'm love'n it!! It's a nice break from mini's!! Although I do love my mini's!! :) So... a couple weeks ago we got together with my family for lunch at Red Lobster to celebrate my sister's birthday!! Of course the camera's came out and plenty of pictures were taken. I'm waiting to pick up the picture of my husband and daughter, but I've scrapped the rest!! The first one is of my mom and dad. The next one, which is made from my scraps and which I really like the pop effect of, is me and my sister.

This is me and my sweetheart!! Love'n these pictures my sister took!! It was fun to scrap some new ones of us!!

Now for the fun stuff....

BLOG CANDY

While making these LO's I tried once again to use rub on's!! It is now safe to say that I dislike them very much!! SO....since I seem to be the only person in the scrapping world with this opionion, I've decied to give some away!! Below is a pix of the ones I'll be sending to one lucky gal!! Here's how you can earn a chance to get your name in the drawing:

1. Make a layout featuring an adult family member

(if you are also in the pix, get your name in the drawing an extra time)

2. Use a rub on somewhere on the LO

(use them in more than one place on your LO, let me know and you can have your name in the drawing an extra time)

3. Email it to me at finallymama@hotmail.com on or before April 15, 2010 ay 10pm est

I will draw a name on April 16, 2010 and post the winning LO!!

I hope you all make a LO and send it to me!! Have fun!!

Thanks for stopping by!! Until next time...tootles!!

Sketches by Mary

I've been so busy working on mini's that I was a touch behind on my LO's. So I went to my favorite source for inspiration...."Sketches By Mary" at Scrappy Jo's!! Check them out here: http://scrappyjoscrapbooksupplies.ning.com/page/sketches-by-mary I seem to always be able to find a way to get into my LO withMary's sketches!! As you can tell, I don't follow the sketches to a T, that's what makes us each unique!! I always find it fun to see other peoples take on the same sketch or with the same paper!! (Check out the Mariposa Album Swap at SB.com!! Too many great ideas!! All with the same paper!!) Anyway, this was my take on a couple of Mary's fab sketches!! AND it catches me all back up with my pictures being scrapped!! So, you all go check Mary out over at Scrappy Jo's!! Look around and think about staying for a while!! BTW--they have a great sale going on at the on-line store. Spend $20 get $5 free!! Check out the details!! Don't miss out on this one!! Jo does really well on shipping too!! Hope to see you there!! Thanks tons Mary for your inspiration!!

Until next time, my friends...Tootles!!
