The Lopez Life

{Thank you card}

Made this card for a color challenge at Scrapbook Doodle.

I think summer is here!

 It's 73 degrees out at 8:23 in the morning. That's pretty cool for that time of morning. It's going to reach 108 degrees today. I think summer is officially here! Can't wait to start swimming. The water is still too cold for me to swim, but hopefully it'll be so hot Memorial Day weekend that the water will feel great!

Also, wanted to share the card I made for my mom for Mother's Day.

{Scrap Night}

I'm hosting a scrap night at my house tonight. Excited to see some friends that I have not seen in awhile. I made a card for each one of my guests to kick off the night. Thought it would be fun to give them a ready to go birthday card to give away.

{Birthday Card}

Finally finished some birthday cards. I made four (all the same) for some younger boy themed cards. They didn't turn out how I had invisioned them, but they're done and I'm not changing them. Adding them to my stash of ready made cards.  

{Some New Scrapping Supplies}

At least new to me...not sure how long they have been out since I am out of the loop on scrapping product these days. Just ordered some paper from Scrapbook Doodle.  Can't wait to make some cards and maybe even scrap a scrapbook layout.

LOVE these summer papers.

And this Farmhouse collection is so CUTE!!

Spring football started Monday. Robert actually always gets home later than normal. He stays after school and works out everyday and usually gets home at 5:30 at the earliest. Dave leaves for work at 5:30 so it's been difficult for us to have dinner together as a family a few nights a week. I need to come up with some new crock-pot recipes. That way dinner is always ready for when my boys want to eat. Anyone want to share their favorites or know of a website that's good? I need some new ideas!

Be back tomorow with pictures from Mandy's swim meet last Friday. That girl kicked some free style butt!   

Getting crafty again...

Been spending some time making cards lately. These aren't done yet. Waiting for some new product to come in I ordered from Papertrey Ink. I'll share the finished card when it's complete. It feels great to want to scrap and card make again. I took much too long of a vacation from this hobby.

{Happy Birthday Card}

It's been cold today!! It think it reached 64 today which really isn't that cold, but it was very windy. Dave and Robert have sore throats and don't feel well. They are both in bed so I decided to get crafty and use some of my new Papertrey Ink products. Love their ink. It stamps flawless!

{Good Friday}

I'm off today. Robert has school and Dave has to work.  Going shopping, nail salon, finish up some Easter dinner shopping and then home to make some cards. I haven't crafted in ages, but last night I stayed up working on my sister's birthday card. Going to give her her present on Sunday since her birthday falls in the middle of the week.

Pretty sure she won't look on this blog so I'll share the card I made for her.

Ok off to take Robert to school and get ready for my day.

{Christmas Cards}

I've been in the mood to scrap again.  So yesterday I spent some time making a couple of cards. It was hard to just sit down and create.  I wasn't feeling it creatively.  So I looked through some of my magazines and my stash of cards I have on hand that I haven't given away. I really need to shop for some new product.  Here are the two I made.

Can't wait to make some more cards and even start on some scrapbook layouts!

It's finals week.  Robert gets out of school and 10:00 AM on Wednesday and Thursday and then he's off for Christmas break for two weeks. I'm getting excited for Christmas! Everyone is coming to our house on Christmas Day.

 

 

 

{I'm gonna scrap again!!!!}

After three years of doing Project Life I have decided not to continue doing it for a 4th year.  Great concept, but honestly it's more work for me and since starting Project Life I have completely gotten away from traditional scrapbooking.  I miss that a lot!  I'm cleaning out my supplies and seriously purging.  I just ordered these two lines from Scrapbook Doodle

Can't wait to scrap and also make some cards again!!  

Now to buy a new camera.  I asked Santa for one so we'll see if he brings me one.
