the results of a fun night spend scapping...

marta and i had a lot of fun on friday night. :) i enjoy her company soooo much. the only thing about scrapping with company is that it seems like i do more visiting than actual creating. hehe. oh well. here are the two pages i finished.

this page is for the current song up over at Scrapping The Music. its the song: "white horse" by taylor swift. there are some great lyrics in the song and the line: this aint hollywood, this is a small town" is what i chose. these are fun pictures that i thought would go well. :)

this page is for the current Effer Dare: where you sleep. <3>

now chris and i are in wenatchee. abi had her "bath and kitchen" bridal shower yesterday here. man, she got soooo many presents!! wow. then we all hung out over at nate's place. we have so much fun all of us together. i'm glad to have such good friends.

we're spending the rest of the weekend with chris' parents. they got a new bigger mattress for the guest bedroom, so we got to sleep in there instead of on the hide-a-bed. its a memory foam matress. dude...that was a good night's sleep. now chris is desperate for us to get one of our own. we'll see how that goes...

i hope everyone has a good weekend. :)
and dont' forget that on monday there will be a new prompt up over at THe CrEatiVe TyPe. you're gonna wanna play along this time!!

its thursday...

but there is nothing that {i love} about it! haha.

right now the shop that i work at is getting audited. yikes! big job to make sure everything is up to par. i'm knee deep in files and paper cuts!
so that's what i've been up to this week.
sorry i have been away...

chris and i are slowly getting over having Influenza A. dude...that sucked. chris is still coughing bad, like -cough till you choke- coughing. poor guy. :( feels like he's been sick forever!

on my days off this week i totally got some spring cleaning done! wahoo!! cleaned out our hall closet, our bedroom closet, and my little scrapbooking room. i had a big pile of stuff to donate that chris dropped off for me today. and now you can see the floor in my scrapbooking room. i don't really do much scrapping in there (mostly do it at work) so it kinda became the "dump-all" room.

look....the floor!! :P

my pile of donation stuff. lots of shoes!!

i am looking forward to the weekend though. friday night marta and i are going to a scrapbooking crop night at the local scrapbooking store. its been soooo long since i scrapped with friends. i'm really excited! i've got to get organized and have some projects ready to work on.

some scrapping...

i felt inspired today so i did some creating.
just wanted to share with you.
:)

the font on this page was created by one of my favorite scrapbooker and blog-friends: katie*cupcake. check out her blog for a link to the download. when i read she'd created a font from her own handwriting i was sooo excited! couldn't wait to use it. this is the page i created. its even got some poladroid fun! :D

this page is all about the beach in chelan and the story behind these two pictures. i've got the journaling typed out on Flickr if you'd like to read it. these are precious pictures to me...

well, that's all for today!
i hope everyone has a terrific weekend!
<3

{things i love} thursday

take a peek! they're worth clickin on, i promise!

also this week THe CrEatiVe TyPe and Scrap Outside the Box have new prompts up! both of them are so creative and fun!

Prompt #13 for THe CrEatiVe TyPe is: "lyrical"

use song lyrics on your project. i created this mini (totally inspired by jen and her poladroid mini!) for marta with pictures and memories from our trip to seattle to see Adele. i called it: Chasing Pavements ~ the roadtrip.
here are pics of a few pages:
hope on over to see the other ladies creations. seriously, the DT just gets better and better!!!

Challenge #3 at Scrap Outside the Box is: "rubber bands"

create a layout with rubber bands. how fun is this?? and challenging! come play with us too!
here is my creation. i used pictures of my cousin hannah and her husband that i took a couple years ago for their anniversary.

now how bout some fun pictures from the bridal shower last friday?? oh yeah!! :D
the shower was held at the Renaissance Suite at the Red Lion Hotel. it was this huge room with a hot tub on the deck, a kitchenette, a bedroom with a king size bed, and two bathrooms. seriously the perfect place for a party!
it was your average bridal shower...lots of presents, good food, some wine, good friends. we played some fun games too. the "question game" for abi with questions about nate. the ones she got wrong she had to chew a peice of bubble gum. her mouth was sooo full!! good times!
we also split into 3 teams and created a wedding dress out of TP. abi chose her favorite, and my team won! it was a lot of fun!
after the party was over our group of girls (the bridal party and a couple friends) went downstairs to the lounge for karaoke night. there was even an 80 year old elvis impersonator! crazy fun night.
then, the best part of using the suite for the party is that we all got to stay overnight! hung out in the hot tub for awhile and fell into bed about 4am. WOW! crazy good time!
now for the pics:

"the ladies" front: abi (the bride) and me. back: brenna (maid-of-honor), lexie, jena, dana (bridesmaid) we had sooo much fun together!

singing "my humps" at karaoke night in the lounge at the hotel.
