Been a While!!!

Gracious! Time flies when you're having fun I guess. Everything has cranked back up . . . Amber's cheer practices, school, blah blah blah. We're trying to get back in the groove. I've been busy with a contest at TS. I made it to Round #3 and was really excited to have made it that far. Here are the layouts I did for the contest:





And then my most favorite lo I did for the contest:

I think it really pushed me to be more creative and I was tickled with the pages I created.

Sketch Layout

I stumbled onto this awesome sketch site and decide to give it a try. It's Triplethesketch.blogspot.com and here's my take on their latest sketch:

A Few More Layouts

Here's a few more pages I've done recently. Those dang puppies of mine are so photogenic! LOL!

We're Heading to States!!

Amber's all-star team placed 2nd in the area tournament in Hickory, and because Babe Ruth allows the top 2 teams in this age group to go to States, we get to go! Whooohooooo!!!! How exciting! We won Friday night, after finally getting started around 10 and finishing up around midnight. Storms came through and delayed everything, but it was worth the wait. They played awesome, and Amber got a nice hit to center field and knocked a run in.

Here's a picture I've been playing with and I love the way it turned out. I love turning pictures to black and white and then having just a small portion in color. It could use some touch-up, but overall, I love it!

A Few Pictures

Here's just a few pictures of Amber from her all-star game the other night. The one of her batting was through the fence, so not all that great. I will definitely position myself better tomorrow night to get some good action shots!

On a Scrappy Roll

So I took yesterday off to get ready for Amber's game, and had some good quality scrappy time yesterday morning. I finished 2 layouts and started a third. Here they are:


















Here's another one I did about a month ago. It was for a photo swap at Treasured Scrapbooking. Tons of fun!!

We Won!!! Yeahhh!!!

Amber's all-star team won their first game last night! We played Bunker Hill in Hickory and beat them 7-5. Amber was 2nd in the batting lineup, and hit the ball to shortstop. She got out but brought in the first run. She played 2nd base. We play again Thursday night. If we win Thursday, then we play for the Regional championship on Saturday. Go DC Lady Pirates! I'll post pictures tomorrow!! :)
