First Bi-Monthly Challenge!

My dear friend Chedderfish and I have decided to do bi-monthly challenges to keep ourselves and others motivated to work on there scrapbook layouts. If you want to participate with us you can take a peek inside her fish bowl here. Her and I have decided to do bi-monthly challenges so please check her blog as well as mine for your next challenge! We'll take turns posting challenges on the 1 and 15th of every month. Sometimes they will be scrapbook sketches or card sketches and other times they might be to use a certain tool or Cricut shape. Don't forget these sketches/challenges are very open for interpretation. Feel free to rotate/flip or do something all together different - they are really just a starting point to get you motivated! You can link your creation in the comments on our blogs! Here is my layout for Challenge #1:

My niece turned three this past February and her parents celebrated the occasion at their local hotel with a swimming party!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Well I turned the Big 40 in November. I still feel like I am 16 but my body keeps telling me different. When asked if this age bothers me I say "Heck NO it is just a number"! I honestly don't think any birthday will ever bother me. We are all growing old at the same rate aren't we? I will say that my son turning "13" bothered me more than anything - that means he is growing up and I HATE it! I wish I could keep both my kids young for ever!
