Warning: Design eXperiment going on!

This week I was asked by the lovely Miss Leslie Ashe and the fabulous girls at the Design X blog to be the guest designer for the week. The challenge comes from the wonderfully talented Wendy Reed:

Here is the prompt

What remains constant in your life? Things in our lives change on a daily basis. What is the one thing that remains a constant in your life?

So please feel free to play along. Create a layout following the challenge and link it up at the Design X blog by 7pm PST on Sunday to be eligible for an awesome RAK.

And check out everyones work. Some fabulous and fun layouts up there!



So a HUGE THANKS to everyone at Design X for letting me play with you girls this week!

For my constant, I chose my mom and my sisters. Of course John and Zoe are also my constants LOL but I scrap them alot. It was fun to devote a page to my mom, Sasha and Ginger. I love my Fam! I used some fabulous Webster's Pages Raspberry Truffle paper for the base of the layout and then added a couple of MM diecut journaling labels. I Love those things! And 2 of my new fave embellishments: Prima Fancies and jewel centers!

inspireME

inspireMe is the brand new Ning home to Websters Pages. Now if you are saying to yourself, what the heck is a ning? Well Ning is a great online community (think like a huge message board and facebook or myspace combined) that is really interactive and allows you to post your work, chat with friends and more stuff than I even know about.

Today Webster's Pages is celebrating their launch of this new site. So head on over, tell em I sent ya ;) and make yourself at home. And then when you have set up camp, INVITE some friends to come and join you.

The team has been hard at work making some beautiful layouts and projects for you to check out. I was just blown away by a layout in there from Iris Babao Uy. That girl freakin ROCKS, plain and simple!

Here are a couple of layouts that I made in the wee hours of the night using Websters Pages. One features the oh so yummy Raspberry Truffle line and the other...well it is from their Christmas line Winter Wonderland.

Ohhh and did I mention PRIZES and GIVE AWAYS?!??! hmmmm! now who doesn't love those?

So come on over and have some fun!

Five Faves Friday!!

on Saturday that is...

Phewwww. Yesterday I spent all day helping with an art workshop at the kiddos school. The kids got to paint some fun Chinese pictures on some fans. The teacher was fabulous and the kids LOVED the project. Good times, good times.

Sooo faves for the week this week. Let me see.

#1. Shakespeare In Love. I LOVEEE this damn movie. Just love it! I went to lunch with a friend at Red Robin's yesterday and it was playing and *sigh* I was sooo wishing I would have Tivo'd it. Joseph Fiennes is SERIOUSLY HOT!

which leads me to another great movie with a hot man....

#2. Elizabethtown- It was on this morning. I love anything and everything that Cameron Crowe has ever done. And it has Orlando Bloom in it...So you know it has to be good. I adore the soundtrack, I cry every single time I see it. And if you haven't seen it, you are hereby ordered to do so this weekend. Favorite Quote from this movie : I am hard to remember, but I am impossible to forget.

#3. The song from the Sprite commercial. Falling Away With You. LOVE IT. Must download ASAP! But am having a hell of a time trying to figure out who actually sings it. I found a video on youtube but am too stupid to know how to post a youtube video LOL.

#4. Vitamin Water. Been drinking it almost daily.

#5. And a scrappy fave for the week. Amy Butler K&Co. Lotus Tea Box cardstock diecuts. Found them at Michaels. They are so adorable. The name says it all. I will post a project that uses them some time next week :) Awesome buy for like 3 bucks!

Ohhh and I better add my fave beer just for weekend purposes of course. In case you need to go out on a beer run or something LOL

New Belgium Brewing Co. They actually have two of my fave beers: Fat Tire and my absolute favorite 1554 Enlightened Ale. If you love a good dark beer, TRY THIS! Delish!

I hope you all have a safe and fun weekend with your family!

holy hot sweaty nastiness batman! not a fan of the triple digits...not a fan...

Ohhh but I do have to say the Office was awesome last night and I am soo bummed that Jim didn't end up being able to propose to Pam. And if they end up not doing the marriage proposal next season and end up with her leaving... I am going to be soo damn bummed. Love me some Jim ;)
