Miscellaneous Pages

I found a new forum over at Creative Victorian Designs.  WOW!!!  Lonetta has some beeaaauutiful kits in her shop.  So I decided to play along in their forum.  They have some really good challenges.  I was really challenged, and I guess, isn’t that the point.  Here are the pages I have made so far.

I made this page for the scraplift challenge.

You can look over in the forum’s for the pages we could choose from to scraplift.  I think I did a good job.

This was my entry for the Quote challenge.  The quote is “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but… by the moments that take our breath away. ~Unknown~”

Boy that trip sure took our breath away.  Not only was it one of the funnest things, but that day it was also like 40*, raining and dang cold.  But you know, I wouldn’t not do that day.  I would totally go and do it all again, except for dropping my phone off the bridge at the gorge.  Yeah, that I wouldn’t do again.

And here is my entry for the Color challenge.  The colors were Brown and Green.  This page was challenging for me.  Stretched me a bit.  Whew.  I think it turned out real good though.

David took this picture of the Toltec Gorge.  What a train ride that was.  This following page is a collaboration of pictures that were taken the day we rode the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad.  Man that was one beautiful trip, let me tell you. 

They have restored 4 old 1800’s steam engines.  It was so fun.  Boy Preston was in train heaven.  Look the coal tender.  Look the water tower.  Look the freight car.  Look this….  Look that….  He had everyone impressed.  Thank you very much Thomas the Tank Engine shows.  I guess you could say that Preston has been paying attention.

Back to School Time…

Yaa hoo!!!!!!!  I can not wait for my 2 older kids to go back to school.  I love them, but it is better for them to be at school in a more structured environment.  Speaking of back to school…  Robyn's Chic Scraps has the cutes kit called Time for School in her shop at Ahhh Scrap.  It is so cute, great for all those back to school and 1st day pages.

Isn’t that so cute.  Here is the page I made of Dawson’s 1st day.

Little late posting this…

Hazel Olive Designs has a new kit out called Urban Sketch Book.  I was a little unsure how I would use this until I found the barbed wire paper.  I had been sitting on this picture of Ty for a while and it was the first one to pop into my head when I saw the paper.  So I went with it.  Urban Sketch Book is a really fun kit though.  Go check it out at DigiTop3.

UGH…

Well, looks like I’m gonna have to get a J. O. B.  Don’t really want to. I have enjoyed this time at home.  Preston and I pretty tight, but anyhow, I got to stay with the first 3 years of his life at least.  But it is not all completely bad.  Meme got laid off from one of her jobs.  She had part time for 2 companies in the same office so she stayed at the same desk.  So she got laid off from one of her jobs and will be working out of her home with the other.  So my wonderful idea to DH was ~ why doesn’t Meme watch Preston and pick up the other 2 after school.   I am younger and its easier for me to work.  Not to mention that sometimes I am bored almost to tears at home.  After a while it really does start to feel like a prison.  You can only clean so much before quite frankly my dear, I just dont give a damn.  So, hi ho, hi ho, its off to search for a job I go. 

Oh…  Oh…   I finally got our rafting pics from this summer.  OMG!!!  Check this out.  It was SOOOOOOOO FUN!!!! 

This was the whole crew of us that went that could go on the big rapids.  There were like 5 people that had to go on the lower rapids.

Fixing to enter the rapid.

And away we go…

Wooooo!!!  Hoooooo!!!  That was Da’ Bomb!!!!  I’m ready to go again, Lets Go!!!! 

And true to my scrapbook nature, here is the page I made.  My Brother-in-Love, David Gurule, too the pic behind the rafting pics.  It is of the Rio Grande Gorge.
