Dashboard melted but we still have the radio

Did you watch the Super Bowl? OMG it was insane. I hate football or at least I thought I did. My son however loves it. We decided to watch it because not only does he love football but his most favorite team made it. A small party was planned and lots of snacks were made.

I didn't know how interested I would actually be in the game. I really wanted the niners to win for my sons sake. It was a brutal game and I have to tell you some tears were shed. I felt bad and in the end had to give him a big hug. It was truly a great day. I made some sweet valentines for some special IG friends while all this craziness went on. Didn't get many done while the second half was on but after I seemed to have a fire lit under me and made about 10. I will share those soon.

In other creative news... I have been trying to create everyday. Mainly before work but so far so good. Here are a few of those....

Was really trying to use up my studio calico kits. Another goal of mine this year. Use the stuff you buy! Join me! LOL!

♥♥♥

Keep your eyes open.

First some super happy cool news!

I am now a part of the design team for Pretty Little Studio. I really enjoy their stuff and only just recently found them. Super cute!! You really need to check them out. I cant wait to play with their products and work with such talented ladies.


Lots of pages to share.

Love this pic of my friend Kristi and I. This was NSD last year. We had a great time and look super hot in this photo. LOL!

This page is of my grandma and cousin. I really adore this photo. I love taking pics of my grandma. She is the sweetest lady.

Lastly this page I made of our fairy and big people bow and arrow making. The kids enjoyed them for a few hours. I like how this page came out. All the pages were done using the June Studio Calico kit.


Now on to our weekend. We did the national camp out in your backyard day. We do it every year.

The kids enjoy them selves so much.

Rowan help put up the tent this year. We made smores and told ghost stories. In the morning the kids played pranks on the person who was still asleep....Wrote on the other ones face.

All in all it was pretty fun. This is one tradition we will continue with for many years to come!

♥♥♥

With a good heart

Another day...Life passes ya by so quickly. I have been trying to create something EVERYDAY. So far it has been working. I don't have to finish or post them. Just make. I think it has kept my creativity fresh. It also helps to get happy mail every once in a while! Ha!


I made this page using the So cal kit from Studio Calico. I love this shot of my sister, mom, and grandma. Sitting on my couch on one of our many get togethers.




Another shot of Santa Cruz. I have many. You all know this. I cant get enough. I am hopping I get to go this year again. Sadly I am missing out on the lost boys movie on the beach. AGH!!! Super sad.




Me. A family friend took this one of me. I was snapping away with my camera and she with hers. I love that i totally didn't know she was taking it. Used the So cal kit for this one too.

We just did our annual Camp in your back yard day. Kids always have a great time. I think it is because they get to roast things on the fire. LOL! Pictures to come soon!

I am off to scrap with the girls! YAY! Can't wait.


♥♥♥

You got a brand new key

Welcome to the instagram blog hop. We girls share a common bond, or should I say a few. We all create with our hands, we all love taking photos, and we like to see other peoples work. My most favorite thing about scrapbooking is the friend I have made along the way. There are MANY. I am so thankful for that!

So just a few layouts to share with you. I have been scrapping like a mad woman lately. I have been trying to create a little something every day. It releases stress and makes me happy.




My son had found this heart cloud in the sky. I ran in to get my camera and took a pic. I love this picture to bits. I used bits of studio calico, hambly, washi tape, and my minds eye.




This one was super simple to make. I like those pages. Splashed some paint. Added some layers and viola!




Lastly this one is of my daughter and her best friend. They were going to a church dance and of course I had to take pictures. They looked so pretty. I love that they let me do a mini photo session with them. No matter how mini it was lol!

Now on to the prize. If you enjoy my work and feel like winning this prize all you have to do is become a follower of my blog and leave me a comment saying you did. You can also follow me on Facebook, twitter, and instagram. But that is only if you want to! Hehe! (usernames bettiescrapbook, real name Marie Ramirez)
