just a glance

categories: cup'a caffeine, my family, Uncategorized

 ditl-blog-use.gif ok.  today i brought my camera with me and i took a bunch of pictures to use in scrapbooking:  “a day in the life of {just me}”.    these are just a glance at a few of them.

  • this is me, getting my coat on and checking the mirror by the front door, ready to go run errands…
 ditl-blog-2-use.gif
  • obviously, a pic of my car keys.  i enjoy driving, especially with a starbucks in my cup holder and the radio set to my favorite Christian radio channel.  as a stay-at-home mom, i do a lot of driving…whether it be running errands, meeting a friend, picking up my son from school, going to Bible Study, shopping, or meeting my hubby for lunch…

  • a sign i love to see….knowing i am on campus and about to be sipping my drink of choice!  yum!  good morning, starbucks!
 ditl-blog-3.gif
  • this is a ‘look’ i often get from our dog, chewy….he’s waiting patiently with his leash on, ready to go out.  (somehow, this is mainly my job)  so, i am sure that this process happens maaannny times during the typical day…..good thing he’s so cute!
 ditl-blog-4.gif
  • my absolute favorite household chore–laundry!  really!  i do love it!  i love the smell of clean laundry, the empty hamper, the clean piles of folded laundry.  i love everything about it.  this is my favorite detergent and my favorite fabric softener.
 ditl-blog-5.gif
  • my reflection in my laptop, doing what i enjoy…..checking my blog, browsing other blogs, reading my email and entering what i’ve eaten in my food/calorie journal, while curled up under our favorite Steelers blanket.

well, that’s just a glance of my daily life.  (as boring to you as it may seem, i am blessed to be a stay-at-home mom, no matter how monotonous the day may be.)

i need to finish documenting the remainder of my day, print my pictures, and scrap!  i will post the finished project in a day or two.

coffee love {journal part 4}

categories: cup'a caffeine, journal album {a work in progress}, simply scrappin, Uncategorized
 starbucks-journal-001.gif had to sub at the school on monday, so i didn’t have much time to scrap…. of course, with this album, the pages are soo easy and quick, i threw together this page in only a few minutes.
 starbucks-journal-002.gif used one of the new chipboard shapes that i got on sale the other day.  used my sticker maker and made it really easy to adhere to the page.
 starbucks-journal-003.gif used a starbucks cardboard cup cozy for this layout.  that’s all.

just a quick easy layout.

as you can see, i’ve been stuck on the coffee theme.

maybe tomorrow i’ll move onto another topic.

happy scrappin!

Sunday Scrappin’ 
ta-da’s: this journal has been my current project.  my blog, this past week contains many ta-da’s that are all a part of it.to-do’s: continue to work on my journal, also some thank you cards and cards of encouragement.

Sunday Scrappin’ Question: How long could I scrap without purchasing new products?  Without WANTING to purchase?  never…always something new…  How long COULD i go, using what i already own? a looooong time. 
java-queen-1.gif
got to use some of my new stamps & stickers for both of these layouts.
 java-queen-2.gif
this is one of my favorite stamp sayings.  the drops & coffee rings on this paper, i actually made with real coffee.
 java-queen-3.gif
love this vintage-looking girl!!  {java queen}  just got this set of stamps this week.  it came with a bunch of coffee & tea pictures and sayings.
 java-queen-4.gif
for more dynamics and emphasis on her, i stamped her again on another sheet of paper and used adhesive foam squares to raise the image a little.
 java-queen-5.gif
again, i love doing pages for my journal!  this size is alot of fun.  you can be as creative as you want, yet, it’s not a huge 12 x 12 sheet, so it’s alot faster.   try it!
