Is it snowing where you are?

It is "sissy snowing" here. This means, a snowflake comes by the window, every so often LOL
The Weather Guy has been threatening SNOW for a week, and it's finally here, sort of. Overnight, we got about 2 inches, but the sun is peaking through the clouds, and you can almost see it melt, so .... It will be slushy, mucky, miserable, and once the sun goes away (it will be 8 degrees tomorrow) slicker than an icerink.......

BUT! Since I didn't go to bed last night, I got some scrapping done :-)
First I made an "add" for the Point in Time Heritage Challenge, I'm hosting on DigitalScrapbookingStudio

Everything except the pictures are by CJ's Dreams

You know what? I like this page, I may just use it for the challenge, take the add info out, and write a little bit of information......... 

I'm also done with one of the 2 LifeBook pages for this week..... The subject was Inlaws. So, I thought it would be nice to put a page together with photo's from our family when we were little, and one of a later date. Maybe not current, since I haven't seen anybody for quite some time, but updated none the less.
Here's the early one.


Since I've been threatening you with pages made by the IvyScrap February Mega Sweet Smooches, I'll share them with you. Still working on the Bingo QP.... thought I had it done, looked at it a couple of hours later, and had to wonder "What the H was I thinking about when I put THAT together", so it got recycled, and I'm working on another one...., but may just put this next one inLifeBook......

It's made with  Sweet Smooches 
The pictures were taken when my sister and her family were visiting us in 2003. We took them to Custer State Park and Mt.Rushmore. 
It was awesome! Having her close again, and getting to know my Niece and Nephew a little, was so good!  It was the first time we got to see eachother after Mom passed away, and we talked and got some insight on what went on. We "rented" a booth at the local Perkins, and talked all day. We came early for lunch, stayed thru that, and had dinner also... It was great. The nice part was, that when we walked in, I told the lady that seated us, that we had about 7 years to catch up on, so to give us a quiet corner, and she did! They kept the coffee coming, but left us alone the rest of the time... SOOOO SWEET!!!

Seems like yesterday that I received the first baby picture of my niece, and look at her now! 
This pictures was taken year before last. I think I like how it came out. 

This page was also made with  Sweet Smooches 

That's all the news for now, and I will "talk" to you later :-)

New monthly Mega at IVYSCRAPS

Hey, just got the new Mega at IvyScraps and a couple of announcements.

The kit is called Sweet Smooches . It has really nice colors, but still leans towards Valentines. As soon as I'm done playing with it, I'll show you what it can do :-) but for now, you'll have to either be happy with the previews, or go see for yourself LOL 
(trust me seeing for yourself is WAY more fun!)

The kit is made by 5 designers, and has 70 elements, 40 papers and an Upper Case Alpha with numbers.
(I saw some journaling papers and some WordArt too!)


I'm making the QP for this months Bingo Game for the winner, so I can't show it to you here but as soon as I have the regular pages done, they'll show up here. I promise!
Bingo as I understand it:
                There's a list of words.
                You pick 25 and call it your bingo-card.
                You email the card to the moderator
               On the 10 the calling starts.

You really should be thankful that I have to make the prize, and not the cards!  I have never played Bingo in my life, so this is as far as I get with explaining. (Actually, I copied it from the very first Bingo challenge LOL) but I'm assuming, if you  have played bingo before, this doesn't sound like a foreign language to you.....

Hands have been killing me this week, but they're not tooo terribly bad right now (only took me an hour to finish this post :-) .....), so I'm going to try and get some scrapping done, so..... talk later :-)
