Funky Town

We live in a Funky Town where everyone just needs a break. Remember that new store I told you about the other day called Scraps with a Mouse. I have new layouts using DigiSkrapNMomma - Funky Town kit. 

This kit is great for all kinds of layouts I just happen to use it for Father's Day, Kids in a tree, and Kids making faces.  I made this frame using the Funky Town... Download link is in the middle of blog after my CT layouts.

The first layout I made for a word art challenge. I didn't like the WA for the challenge since it didn't quite fit my layout. Quote - Sometimes being a DAD is even better than a superhero. It fit perfect with a picture I took a couple months ago with Shawn pushing Savvy on the swing.

The next layout using the same kit comes from the last lines to a song "Summertime Blues" by Eddie Cochran. Those lines are: Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do but there ain't no cure for the summertime blues. Ok I took the picture deep in Spring but the sunlight bouncing off the kids and the tree was perfect for the line of the song.

The next layout is too cute, another quote: Before you put on a frown, make absolutely sure there are no smiles available by Jim Beggs. In the picture is Jelynn (my first cousin but only kid so I count her as my sister), Kevin (my little brother), Michael (my godson/nephew) and Lana (neice) doing what they do best - Making Faces.

I enjoyed this kit for much I made a frame but I did not use it. It didn't fit any of my layouts so I hope you are able to use it. I've attached DigiSkrapNMomma's TOU, please follow the TOU when using the frame. You can download it here.

Please go visit Scraps with a Mouse ... right now there are many kits that are 50% off.

There is another sale worth mentioning from Cotton Candy Kreations. Vist the Designer Sale Page for all the details. Each designer has their own special sale.

OMG today was not a good day and I expect tomorrow will be worst. I manage to come back and work for 4 hours provided that I misread my numbers and almost cause a headache. We just found out that the apartment that I live at was purchased by a new owner and we have a new manager... THANK GODNESS.. the last manager were horrible especially the wife. She was a Big B. It doesn't help that I live right next to the managers office. Well hopefully this manager is better than the last. Oh gosh I have to ask for a couple days off next week, my boss is gonna get mad. It's Michael's graduation from Kinder and Lana's from daycare. LOL.

Joe's Pool Hall and Retro Groove

Finally I get to scrap my favorite pool shots of Shawn. I used Design by K kits: Retro Groove and Joe's Pool Hall (CU). He goes to Eddie's house at least 2-3 times a month to hangout and play pool. I get a few hours of quite while working and he is out on his day off.

I made this for a friend's Cocktail Party invitation she is having in a couple weeks.

Then I made this one for a ScrabooksFlair Challenge  I should print it and hanging it up to remind myself to pay attention to me first. I have a habit of dropping what I am doing to help out others and when I ask for the favor back they always make an excuse.

One thing, I like about this kit are the backgrounds. They bring out the pictures and the elements on the page.

Mediterranean Dawn

This is a cute title for a cute kit by Athena Designs at Cotton Candy Kreations. I practiced on my extraction ... it's not perfect but I need more work on it to be able to create layouts you find at DST, DSA,  and other galleries. But I did like the one layout I used the quote: Attitude is a choice. I didn't have a picture to add to the layout so I added a bird doodle by The ScrappinCop. It actually completed the layout.

Savvy was posing for me for a theme challenge that I ended up not doing due to time. So it was a perfect picture to practice of extraction.

This is another picture I was trying to extract. I messed up by making the picture smaller before extracting from the orginal format so her picture is a bit blurry. I missed it but Shawn was able to make it to her Spring Concert... from the mini videos the kids all sound like future rock stars.

I can't believe I am working OT at regular job then go to the bar for the night shift. The one day I can afford to sleep in I volunteer for OT and its for Saturday and Sunday. I swear I hate what's going on these days.
I have more to whine about but I am not sure if I should. I just know I soooo need a vacation away from everything and everyone and my drama. Anyways, I found this really cool external hard drive but I can't afford it now but maybe later when things settle down. Wishful thinking. Oh wells. (And if my BFF is reading this .. I am not being the better person because I don't wanna. I should listen to you because your advise is usually on the dot but I don't wanna. So I am not. That will add to the drama later but I don't wanna).

Hauoli Pakoa (Happy Easter)

Another kit from my new creative team... It's perfect for those Easter pictures you left out your scrapbook. I was working on easter sunday but I spend the day before making eggs and playing with the kids on Saturday. Kids = Lana (4), Michael (6) and Savvy (8)... Yes three kids under 10 and me. We mainly spend a good 4 hours at the park and the other 4 in various homes (mine, my parents, my friends, grandma's) and then after 8-10 hours I drop them off at their parents high on suger!!!!

Here is Alane's Designs store link at Cotton Candy Kreations. Here are CT layouts using Alane's kit - Hauoli Pakoa (Happy Easter).

Conspicuous

I've always been interested in why the interest in Tagger Kits. So I joined Cotton Candy Kreations Creative Team. I have no knowledge in Tagger Kits and their tuts but I am interested in learning that side of scrapbooking.  My first kit comes from Dawn's Scraps.

Over at the bar, the drama continues were managment are being dumb and not communicating with the bartenders. They use "this is a business" as an excuse. At this point, they really need to do what they say.  I don't know the story but having the issue unresolved is a problem. Well, gotta go and get read for bed.
