Wii play

So, Santa brought my nieces a Wii game for Christmas. They couldn't wait til I could come over and play it with them (or maybe they just couldn't wait to gang up on me!) They beat me thoroughly at everything but pingpong - and boy did they have fun beating me, LOL!

Final two days of BPS LOAD challenge!

Whew! I made it - 31 layouts in 31 days! Here are my final two pages. This is our family "gang" on a motorcycle trip along the Blue Ridge Parkway last spring.

This layout goes back to 1992 for some pictures of my DD and her friends at a sleepover at our house.

Sketches by Tamara

Just found out that I made the design team for "Sketches by Tamara"! Cool! Check out her blog for some awesome sketches - layout sketches on Mondays and card sketches on Thursdays.

Day 28 & 29 @ BPS

Almost the end of January - hard to believe!

This layout shows my nieces, enchanted with the talking palm tree @ WDW's Animal Kingdom. They weren't sure whether to be scared or curious, but curiosity won out!

I love this paper line from Stampin' Up. It worked great for an AAM layout - this one was for an ad challenge (American Express ad) over at iscrap.net

Day 26 & 27 over a BPS

Still on track for a layout a day!

This layout is an assortment of photos from last year. It's fun to look back and see what good times we had!

Went back a couple of years for the photo on this layout. My DD getting a makeover from my niece. Based on a sketch by Alecia at ScrapAttackScrapbooking.com.

Day 25 @ BPS

This is what my nieces tell my DH - "girls rule and boys drool". They love to aggravate him!

Here's my layout for day 23 over at BPS. Boy, do I hate to admit that this picture of me is 50 years old....yikes!

This is my layout for day 24 - my lab Samantha, who definitely is my "shadow" dog! this one is based on sketch by Tamara (sketchesbytamara.blogspot.com)

Still going on the layout-a-day challenge over at Big Picture Scrapbooking. Thanks goodness for all the challenges at Scrappin Mojo and ScrapAttack to keep the ideas coming! Here are layouts for days 20, 21, and 22:
