Week 4 is done! I even finished my LO today! Dang that was fast this week. You guys would laugh if you saw all the chaos around me and I’m just scrapping away. At the moment there are 4 teenagers and a 6 year old who thinks he is a teenager playing wii in my living room. No I don’t have a nice quiet little computer room. My computer is right in the living room! LOL. We are one big, loud family. Ha ha!

I did have a good week though. My Pampered Chef business is off to a running start! My opening show total sales were $1,267.00! Crazy-ness! That will be some nice extra money to help out my broke-ness  LOL. It’s a lot of fun so far. Here is my LO for my week.

Valentines Day Cootie Catcher!

OK, I Love Valentines day. It’s just such a sweet holiday. I’m having lot’s of fun this year since Tyler is in Kindergarten. I haven’t really made Valentines for a few years since Kayla and Chris are in High School. So, yea! This year I wanted to make something fun for Ty’s Kindergarten class. I put on my thinking cap and this is what I came up with.

A Pirate/Valentine Cootie Catcher! Remember those! I loved them! I made one up for a sample and Ty loves it. He can’t wait to give them to his class. Now I just have to print and fold about 20 more . Here it is.

I used the digital scrapbooking kit called Say No to Piracy it was designed by Mandy Made, Pretty in Green and Wyld Web Designs.  All at GingerScraps! Perfect for some little boy Valentines! Check out the fun sayings on the inside of my Cootie Catcher. “You arrrr my first mate”. Arrrr, I’m hooked on you”. Etc. Etc. So fun! Tyler and I have been playing with it. He cracks up every time we read his “fortune.”

You can get the Cootie Catcher Template in my shop at GingerScraps. Creations by Julie That’s me!

You can use your Digi Scrapbooking supplies or even Traditional Scrapbooking supplies and make your own Cootie Catcher! It’s super fun! Coming up with the saying to put on the inside is the super fun part!

Have a scrap happy day!

It’s been sunny all week and Hubs and the little guys and I are trying to get in shape by taking a nice brisk walk/ride each day.

Week 52, yes I did it, and a Week 1 Freebie!

For those of you who have been following along, yes, I finished my 365 Scrap Your Life Project for 2010. And, yes, I have started my LO for Week 1 2011. I just wanted to share that final LO for 2010. Here it is.

This week I used Doodle borders, and Happy New Year kit by, GingerScraps.
Days of the week file tabs and 365 template by, Creations by Julie.
Days Brads by, Statements by Jodi.
Snowboard in Shred by Scrappy cocoa.

So, the final LO, now to send my last few pages off to Persnickety Prints for printing! Yea! 10% off when I use the code GingerScraps! (Use this code you will get 10% off too)

So, now it is time to start the 2011 Scrap Your Life Project. I am hosting the GingerScraps 365/52 Scrap Your Life Challenge again. As some of you already know . I have 1 freebie already posted for 2011, make sure you scroll down and get the Intro Page Freebie!

Last year I made a template per week for all you 365 junkies. I loved using the templates myself too. LOL. It made the 365 project so much easier to keep up on. No trying to figure out where to put the picture each day. Just drop it in the template. I was getting ready to start my Week 1 LO for 2011 and thought, I really want to use the templates again this year. So, I decided to just change them up a bit. I have had rounded corners on my photos for my last 2 365 projects, 2009 and 2010. This year I want regular corners, so I am just using the cookie cutter tool and taking the rounded corners off of the photo layers in my templates. Yea! Now I can use them all over again and have a totally different look. That was a lot of work designing 52 matching templates! Girl, I’m going to get my use out of them! If you love templates and want to make your 365 LO a snap you can find them in my store at GingerScraps.

So, here I am last night working on my Week 1 Lo for 2011. Changing it up a little from last year. Having some scrapping fun, in a quiet house all the rush of Christmas, Birthday, New Years, Company over. I am making a frame all around my LO that says Week 1. Hmmm, kinda cute, I bet some of these other 365/52ers would like to have this for their weekly LOs. Hmmm, a new weekly freebie. So, be ready. I have a new weekly freebie for the year! Here is the very first one!

Next week you will see it in use on my Week 1 LO! It looks so darn cute too. So grab it for your weekly LO. And come back each week for the next one! One more thing, you REALLY should join us in the Forum for the Scrap Your Life Challenge this year. If you were with us last year you know, it’s makes the world of difference to have a place to gain inspiration and the support of others 365/52 scrapers! We love to Ohh and Ahh over each others LOs. Love to see, “hmmm, wonder what she took pictures of this week”.  “Look how much her kids have grown this year.”  “Ahh, her baby took her first steps.”  “Look at all the weight she is loosing.” “Her son graduated high school.”  “Look at her cute new doggie.” We are one big 365/52 family Plus, as you post your LOs in any of the GingerScraps challenges you have the chance to win a Gift Certificate to the Store. Yea!

So, we’ll see you there, tell them Julie sent you. Now go and grab your Freebie HERE.  Get out that camera and capture those memories!
