Well I pulled out my U BUg Me line once again-as it is slowly dwendling away-insert sad face. They are having a sketch challenge over on their blog. I always love their sketches so I wanted to give it a shot. Here's my take on it

If you wanna join me just HOP on over to their blog and check it out!

My Dt challenge for the Throwdown

Well this week is my turn for the Throwdown challenge over at Memorable Seasons. Whats a throwdown you say---Have you ever watched it on Foot Network. Its kinda cool--Bobby Flay seeks out people who make some awesome dish and then he try to copy it but also make it his own at the same time.

So we are doing the same thing with a scrapbook page and this week its my turn to issue the challenge---OH soo fun!

Well for my throwdown I want you to think Baked Spaghetti. Its a great hearty meal and not alot of ingredients required--but oh the possibilities to make it different everytime!

So we need some meat, noodles and sauce right? Then is when the fun begins... Did you know that I have kids that wont eat spinach So guess what when I make baked spaghetti I put spinach in there-great way to get them some green vegetable--BTW zucchini works great too.

So here we go with my take

Okay for some reason photobucket is not cooperating and half of my lo is cut off-UGH!

So we have the one photo-check
lots of layering-check
embellie cluster-check
non scrappy item---see the yellow strip with the numbers and some staples, well those are the dry cleaner tags they put on my husbands pants and of course I save them

So here's your challenge ladies
one photo
layering---must have at least 5 pattern papers on your lo
embellie cluster-must be more than 3 items
non scrappy related item--only one is required

Come join us here MS board--then you can see the full picture of my lo and meet lotsa new people.

I sure hope you will come join us for this challenge and cant wait to see what you create---now get ta cookin girls!
Toodles,
Tami

Pride

WHOA I am such a bad bad blogger. I need to make this my new years resolution--NOT becuz if you know me I wouldnt keep it-LOL!

But here I am today to share a lo I did last night. I like to call it artsy fartsy-hehehee
I have just been a scrappin machine here lately and this one that I did last night I must say is one of my new faves. The pictures arent the greatest but it is some photos I wanted to scrap. Now u know I had to use a sketch cuz I am a sketch aholic. This one is based off the sketch over off the blog called Sketch Thursdays. Diana and Heidi always have the coolest sketches over there. I do them alot but dont seem to get them posted in for the challenge but low and behold this week I will make it in on time. Why do I like their sketches soo much well its cuz they leave sooo much room for you to put ur style on it. This one I wanted to just play around with my paint dabber and boy oh boy did I. I love the messy look of paint--so I swiped the cardboard and then did some BIG swipes as kind of a mat for my photos. I think I should have brought it further out on the right side but hey its art-RIGHT? Then when it was all glued down I decided to dab it sum more-fun fun!
And can you believe I used some flower paper for a football lo-WOWZA--so not me but I do love how this turned out. So thanks again Sketchy Thursday for always leading me in the right direction.

Oh Happy Day

Well everybody these days seems to be in love with Echo Park Paper CO and guess what so am I! I purchased the walk in the park collection and WOWZA-everything you need is right there. I created this lo and the only thing from my stash is of course some cardstock and the lil pearls on the butterfly. Can u believe it I didnt even need Thickers for a title. Now for those of you how dont know me -that is like a RECORD for me. I always feel the need to add sum more embellies-ya know junk it up. But these pps and stickers have it all. The best part they are soooo reasonably priced. I finished this lo on Wed night and cant wait to work with it some more this weekend. I am soo in love the new collections they have released for holidays-cant wait to get my hands on ALL of them-but shhh dont tell my hubs-hehehe.

This lo is about my son Tucker and his friends Bailee & MAddie. They used to be our neighbors when all the kids were born-well the Calhouns got a job transfer and left us and then 2 yrs later we did the same. We have tried to see each other at least once a year since they first moved. Well lucky for the kids this summer while Tuck was in town visiting his g'parents, Tonya & the girls came in town and they got to spend the day together. I was sad becuz I couldnt be with them but at the same time very thankful they could be together. Stay tuned for a ton more lo's about this day-thanks to Tonya for taking pics for me. luv ya BFF

toodles, Tami

Gettin Sketchy

Well I had a challenge before me to scrap a lo based on my outfit. This is part of the Scrap u courses over @ Scrap-Friendzy (you should come join us) So I chose to scrap from my outfit that I wore on College Colors Day(my fave workday of the year)
The lo is based on the awesome sketch by Diana over at Sketchy Thursdays (love those sketches to pieces-they have produced some of my best stuff) I decided this time to keep the lo very simple (very very hard thing to do for me). So I used all the elements from my outfit---denim of course from my jacket, the bling in the flower and the dots for the title-from my shirt and my jacket, the orange from my shirt and the vols trim matches my watch, and just in case you are wondering "What on earth is that black circle in the flower" Well its a tire, I save all the ones I find laying around. (My oldest tears apart every car and truck he ever gets-DRIVES ME CRAZY) I used it becuz it represents the black on my flip flops (BTW is not in the pic) and of course it goes with my photo-LOL! Thanks for looking and hey maybe you should give it a try too-its soo fun!

Okay so I didnt realize the pic's were so small that you couldnt read the journaling. Let me explain the lo-cuz I hate when I see peoples work and you dont understand the lo. One year we had to take my dad's Explorer to Knoxville for a game (cant remember why) anyways the last thing he said to me was "Dont put all that UT crap all over my Explorer"---YEA RIGHT! So we took a picture and framed it for him and put it on his desk at work-hehehehe

Meet Lucky

Well here's another lo about my Tucker. He has been fascniated by caterpillars and every year when school starts they are everywhere. So everyday for about the first 2 weeks of school, when I pick him up from afterschool care he has a new pet. For some odd reason he always names them "lucky"-why I dont know cuz trust me they are not lucky-they never live long. I saw a sketch over on the Bo Bunny blogpost and thought it would be perfect for these pics and of course these pps that I have been HOARDING-I finally made myself cut them and I am so glad I did!
