It's almost monday again...

Wow I am turning into a once a week blogger...so so sad! Life has just been so crazy. We have had the sickies 3 weeks now...UGH! Last week, Ashlee was diagnosed with pneumonia! I thought for sure we were going to end up in the hospital but she was able to come home with medication. We took it easy for the rest of the week, and I think we are on the mend now (well I hope!)

I was able to complete a few projects this week. As many of you know I am in a contest over at scrapstreet.com and this week we were challenged to make a mini album. This was a BIG challenge for me as it normally takes me a few weeks to do a mini album...but I kept it simple and got it done! I also was lucky enough to receive the highest score this week! Woohoo! This is the last week of the contest, the scores are close, and it's the most difficult week of all! I "had a hit" (it's a mafia game) put on me and I have to complete a layout about myself along with 4 cards using the scraps...this is going to be a challenge! So I hope to be able to pull it off!

Here's my mini from the contest:

Since finishing 1 mini album in under a week with a sick family wasn't enough of a challenge (LOL), I tackled another project that I have been wanting to complete. Since Ashlee started Kindergarten, Gavin has really taken an interest in his alphabet and numbers...so I thought I would make a little mini book for him and also use some Scrappin' Sports and More papers! at the same time. Here's my little teeny (it's 2.5 inches) mini alphabet album:


Also, over at BBTB this week we were challenged to use the "life is good" cut from the Graphically Speaking cartridge. This cartridge has a lot of really neat cuts on it that would be a lot of fun not only for cards & layouts but also vinyls! I can see so many of these cuts on my walls! If you do not have this cartridge, you will want to check it out. Here's my card using this cut:



Well I am going to go watch the rest of the Oscars with my husband...have a great week everyone!
