april guest designer

i can't believe i didn't post about this yet. for the month of april i was chosen as guest designer for lovebug scrapbooking. it was fun!!! (and i got my kit for free :) ) i had to use the april kit to do some layouts. here's a couple i did with the kit: (check out lovebug to see other projects i created!)
it's been soooooo loooongggg!!!!


ahhh!!! it sure has been awhile eh? i never was very good at keeping a diary, so i don't know why i thought doing a blog would be any easier. it's been crazy here in our household. we've recently put a new roof on the house, and we're starting the reno on the outside. (even though there's still little things that need completing inside.....) jonathan's been SUPER busy at work, he's even been putting in quite a bit of overtime. plus, he's got his motorbike race this sunday, so he's spending time fine-tuning his bike. between that, baseball 2x per week, board meetings, committee meetings (eastridge community fellowship 10th ann. is coming up on may 28th!!!!! - i'm in charge of organizing the food and bbq in the parking lot after the service), bible study, and of course ~ my scrapbooking!!!! our family has been on hyper-drive. i NEEEEEDDDDD more hours in the day!!!!! anyways, enough complaining. kids are doing great. they're loving the sunshine and being able to play outside again. i'm loving it too......

had an online crop with lovebug on april 22. what fun!!! (except that was the day we also did the roof.... ) the challenges were great. sonja's file folder make'n'take was great. I got 2 mother's day projects completed with that! i also completed a couple layouts. here they are:

the 1st one was a challenge by tina. we had to keep adding things to the layout every hour. the 2nd one was a 'simplicity' challenge by sophie. I was only allowed to use cardstock, a photo (taken by carmen @ 'spex portraiture'), title, and one 'other' thing. my 'other' was ink. I managed to get 4 layouts done and the file folder album!
