Loads of New Stuff!

Fast post for now to take care of my CT duties!

Vicki Parker's newest kit at Scrap That Idea is "Ahoy Shipmate". Cute, cute, CUTE! Now only $3.00!

Next is a MASSIVE collab kit from from all four of the Scrap That Idea designers. It's named "Beach Hut" and is just in time for all of your summer photos. At only $4.00 for a limited time it's a terrific bargain!

Busy, busy, busy...

I am just barely keeping my head above water these days, I feel exactly like the little smiley with the shark nippin' at his butt! I did manage to create some LO's this weekend. First up is one I did for the DSO Scraplift challenge, it's a lot of fun, there is a really innovative LO to lift every month. This LO was created with "Moody Days" from Kim Broedelet, with the exception of the large vine, which is from Nicole Perry. I took this photo of Matt the Brat and Wyatt Mothers Day weekend. I am really proud of capturing this small moment in time. It just makes my heart sing!

Next up is a photo of myself and Lilly the same weekend. I created it using the posting bonus for the May Color Challenge from Kimbob. I call it "Princess Nana". Let me just say this...Lilly is a bossy little hussy and I am a sucker. She says "sit right here, Nana, you be a princess", and I sit and undergo untold humiliation. Shawna dared me to scrap and post this, so I say WTH, dignity is overrated, here we go! On another note, it just occured to me, Obama should assign Lilly to the terrorists at Guantonamo Bay, she could whup 'em into shape REAL quick!

As requested, I have posted Dial-Up links for the May CC kit.

Big hugs, Vicki

So Sad...

Watch out, I'm climbing up on my soap box. I logged on today all happy and ready to share some more stuff and got a big 'ole smack in the face. Zip, nada, none as far as comments go. I'm going to say it one more time, the 2 seconds it takes you to say thank you for your download isn't a drop in the bucket compared to the time and money that it took me to provide it.

Now, we're 'gonna try this again. This QP was created with my May CC challenge kit.

Enjoy! Password is: hug

RED ALERT! RED ALERT! RED ALERT!

Hot diggitty dog, Kimbob has published another one of my LO's on her blog AND pimped my May Color Challenge kit to boot! See it right here. And on a Saturday too! I am so honored, I'm just having a real Depends moment right about now! The LO is the "Oh So Sweet" on the previous post. 'Scuse me while I go change my drawers...

Oh so sweet...

TGIF!!! Man, I need this long weekend in a bad way! The door is locked, there is a Miller Lite in the koozie and a smoke in the ashtray. AAAHHH!!! I feel better already! Now for a little catching up! Matt the Brat and My Girl Shawna are going away for Matt's birthday (yep, my baby turns 30 on Monday, sigh...), so I am pretty much on my own for this long weekend. I thought about hitting the casino, but it'll probably be VERY crowded, and I don't do crowds very well. Besides, I shouldn't be squandering Disney money. Have I mentioned that we are going to Disney World? With all of the drug violence in Mexico, we had already decided it wasn't the place to take the kiddos this summer. Then came the pork flu mess, so I'm glad we had already changed plans. We will be spending eight days at Disney World, so I know that poor ole Nana is going to need a vacation after the vacation! It should be a lot of fun, Wyatt's birthday is July 1st, and we have booked the birthday package and Character dinner at Chef Mickey for him. He and Lilly will also be hitting the Bibbodi-Bobbodi-Boutique that day. Lilly is scheduled for the full princess deal (how could you guess? LOL!) and Wyatt is getting the Prince treatment. Then...on the 2nd, Wyatt and I are going to Discovery Cove to swim with the dolphins! This is what I'm giving him for his birthday, and he is SOOO excited!

If any of ya'll have any Disney tips, fill me in!

Now, on to today's LO. I created this using Kim Broedelet's fabulous kit Antoinette. While we were at the lake for Mothers Day Bev taught Lilly the 'oh so sweet' pageant move. Not that she is in any pageants (she's too ornery), but it does make for a cute photo!

Ya'll have a super weekend!
Big hugs, Vicki

May CC Quick Page

I whupped up this LO from my May Color Challenge kit and made it into a QP for ya'll! I really liked the looks of this harlequin paper when I made it, but I was afraid it would be too busy when used on a page. I was pleasantly surprised at the resulting LO, I think it actually works pretty well! If you look really close, you can see that Bug's tongue almost touches her eyes! Too funny! Password is: lick

What do we say?

Ahem...Another Kimbob LO!

Yes, dear blog readers, it's true...I have another LO published on Kim Broedelet's blog! Who knows, if Mr. MoJo sticks around I might one day snag the coveted 'guest CT spot'! Yeah, right...in my dreams! In any case, I have been able to create some pretty darned good LO's with one of her latest kits "Moody Days". Go on, get it for yourself and see what fabulous LO's you can come up with! You know you want to! I shot this photo of my Daddy while we were at the lake Mothers Day weekend. Believe it or not, he was saying "Why do you always have that camera going? Stop that!" I don't care, it's still a great pic!

Let me know what ya'll think!

Big hugs, Vicki

May Color Challenge Kit!

I think I have the DSO May Color Challenge finished. Ya' never know though, sometimes they have a way of just taking on a life all of their own!

I read all of ya'll's suggestions, and tried to incorporate as many as I could. I really appreciate those that took the time to leave a comment. It does help to know what ya'll would like to see. These turned out to be pretty large files. If anyone has a problem, let me know and I can split them up. So now, without further ado, I give to ya'll my take on Kimbob's May swatch!
