Having a Ball!! :)

OH my, what a crazy 2 weeks it's been (as you'll see by last week's Project Life pages coming HOPEFULLY later this weekend!).. but this is the first I've had a chance to make something. And it's a traditional layout, even! 

I used this January sketch from Boys Rule Scrapbook kits:

and made a page of my boys (hubby and little brother) having a snowball fight on Christmas:

They were outside and I was in my sunroom, snapping pics - when they slammed the window with a snowball at me. I just LOVE how that pic turned out! :)

The hubby was smart (or not???) and was half protected on the cellar steps..

I used patterned papers from an old Die Cuts With a View (DCWV) Christmas stack. I'm loving USING what I've had for a while :) I embellished with this glittered snowflake diecut, chevron washi tape and a few blue gems.

I just wish it would SNOW again soon ;) I wouldn't complain about a 2 hour delay or snow day lol! Thank goodness it's the weekend! TGIF! :)

I'm sharing this layout at Paper Issues' "Say it Aint Cold Outside" link up :)

I'm also sharing this layout at Simon Says Stamp for their "washi" challenge and with Rochelle and her friends' challenges! So fun!

Rochelle - "baby it's cold outside" title or journaling

Kristie - use your stash - washi, glitter, chevrons

Brenda - use a sketch from Dec or Jan

Kerys - winter theme

Washi Tape!

I picked up my first roll of washi tape this week, inspired by the challenge at Frosted Designs to use this product. I may have found a new addiction ;)

I love love love grey and yellow together (umm.. my blog design may have given that away ;) So this grey floral really spoke to me. I ripped different lengths and stuck them to this yellow dot from Echo Park "Dots and Stripes" Soda Fountain 6x6 pad. I left a wider grey border on the base.

I used these letter stickers from my stash for the sentiment and embellished it with a little pop of purple bling. I really like how it turned out !! You may be seeing more washi tape projects in the future! ;)
