The last two weeks have been a total blur of sick people at my house....so I am behind!<br />
<br />
A few things I missed......<br />
<br />
I got an AWESOME new custom blog, done by <a href="http://www.amandamaysstudio.com/">Amanda May Designs</a>. I won a free basic blog makeover on Giveaway Corner, and paid a little extra to get a deluxe redo :) I ♥ my new blog. Amanda did an amazing job designing graphics that are perfect for me (with just a bunch of jumbled ideas I gave her) This girl totally rocks, she is very fast, professional and TALENTED! I would recommend <a href="http://www.amandamaysstudio.com/">Amanda May Designs</a> to anyone who wants to customize their blog. Amanda also does pre-made blog templates, business branding and has an <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/amanduh18">esty</a> store that sells graphic art, custom invites, and custom business cards.<br />
<br />
Next on the list of things I missed....<br />
<br />
I was featured on <a href="http://www.practicalscrappers.com/2011/05/mom-layouts.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed:+practicalscrappers/KGBO+(Practical+Scrappers)">Practical Scrappers</a> for Mother/Daughter Layouts.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Its an honor to be featured on their blog, wish I had been on here sooner to post about it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I still feel completely behind with life in general right now. My son ended up in the ER with pneumonia and asthma, then the next week had a horrible allergic reaction to something (maybe my mother's day flowers) My husband has bronchitis and double ear infections. So I am running on fumes trying to take care of everything and the sickies.... hopefully I don't get sick from being run down :( The allergens in the air right now are brutal, and we are all living on double doses of allergy meds. Hoping to get some creative time soon.... </div><br />

The LO was based on this recipe:<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 12px;">M…use products from your favorite Manufacturer</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 12px;">Y…yellow - got to have a little of the color somewhere on your layout</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 12px;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">S: sewing, decided I didn't want a machine sewed look on this, so I did some hand sewing. I sewed on the two black buttons with silver thread, and I sewed down the corners of the photo strip. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1cLU-2WFWj0/TazCHRTTRiI/AAAAAAAACDk/UH7Q5dL4oiU/s1600/my+scraps+012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1cLU-2WFWj0/TazCHRTTRiI/AAAAAAAACDk/UH7Q5dL4oiU/s320/my+scraps+012.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A: all about you...check!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">C: circles..... a few small circles peeking out, from the notebook paper, the toad stool below is also on a circle. {the toad stool is coated in glossy accents, so its raised in person} </div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and S: style...... well, Its hard to do one LO that encompasses my style, as it really depends on the paper. So I did some of my favorite things....... fussy cutting, layering, mixing designers, hand sewing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Eye Candy! & Loot♥Okay, its official....I am calling my crafty Hiatus to an end! Its been a long few months getting the kids school into a great routine {we made some HUGE changes this year to our homeschooling} And I can no longer stand not being crafty! I miss the glitter all over my clothes, the paint on my fingers, and the deadlines of design teams {yes, I know....crazy lady misses deadlines.....they give me a push♥}<br />
<br />
So here is a kick off to the end of the break...... I finally get to share the LOs that I created for <a href="http://www.sketches2scrapbook.com/">Sketches2scrapbook</a> {and awesome ipad app created by the talented Anam Stubbington}<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Tried to get some pics of my loot, but my black table was not the best backdrop....trust me its awesome! I got a huge assortment of diecuts, some as big as 12x12...at least $50 worth of product, even some fun rhinestone scrolls. Can't wait to get scrappy with these! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

The beginning of the school year really threw me for a loop. I am finally on top of everything now, will soon be moved into our new home and setting up my new scrappy space. I am itching to get back to work, I need to paint or glitter something!<br />
<br />
I do have one project that I haven't shared, because it was still in the secret stages ♥ I had the honor of working on <a href="http://www.sketches2scrapbook.com/">Sketches2scrapbook</a>. This is a new iphone app, hopefully releasing in November, created by Anam Stubbington. I got to work with two of her beautiful sketches, my art will be on the app as inspiration for the corresponding sketches.<br />
<br />
Hopefully I will soon have some new art to put up on here :)<br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 5px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 5px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Welcome, friends! Are you already tired of summer? OR if you live on the other side of the world are you tired of the cold? Well, we've got just the thing for your 'summer/winter' blues! A SIZZLING sketch crop! <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />We will be posting sketches through out the day on Friday (July 16) and Saturday (July 17) for your inspiration! AND because we wanna keep it fresh you will actually have 2 chances for the grand prize with EACH SKETCH!!!!! So, yup....you can actually complete each sketch TWICE BUT there is a catch....(you know there has to be a catch)....<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />With each sketch there will also be a 'challenge' posted. You MAY complete two layouts for each sketch this time! Your choice, one with the sketch, and then one with the challenge! BUT if you use BOTH of them for each time you MUST TURN,FLIP, or MIRROR the sketch! For example, if you use the sketch and the challenge on one layout then want to complete it again, you MUST TURN, FLIP or MIRROR it for a second one, even if you are just doing the sketch on the second one. If you are solely doing the 'challenge' part then you don't have to, you will just need to complete the challenge!<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />We wanna see you guys SCRAP!!!!!<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span style="font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span style="font-size: 20px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Post a quick "hello" here to let us know you're playing.</span></span><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Just a couple of guidelines:<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />~ New layouts only, please<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />~ Layouts must be at least 8x8 or larger.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />~ Please upload your layout in the gallery and post a link or your image in the forum post.<span style="font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #bf0000; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Layouts will ONLY be counted if they are linked in the challenge post.</span></span><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />~ No combining challenges or sketches!<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />~ All layouts are due on July 28, midnight EST</span><br />
