I'm bad







The new Harry Potter comes out tonight....

..So my sis decides to dress up her puppy, my dog nephew, into Harry. My camera ran out of batteries before



she could put on the burgundy and gold tie. Ha ha!! *LOL* It was so funny. The "glasses" were pipe cleaners but Apollo did not like them at all!! We had to bribe him with doggie treats!!





Anyway, I'd love, LOVE to stay up and buy the book and read it till morn'...but unfortunately, I have PALS tomorrow...It's the Pediatric Advanced Life Support classes that are now mandatory for my job!! I really should be studying but I couldn't help but scrap a few pages:

Roll...

I was so stressed out this weekend. I was trying out for a design team at A Million Memories, but I procrastinated. After finally finishing my altered project, I realized that I needed to make two lay-outs NOT previously posted!! OH NO!! I wasn't really happy with the l.o.'s I turned in, but was satisfied with my altered project. Even if I don't get the position, it was still fun trying out for my first Design Team. Hmmmm, on to the next one!! :)



So after working two days, I went into scrapping mode and was on a ROLL!! I finally got my kits from Those Were the Days and Scrap In Style TV, and I love them!! I must buy more kits!!! They're totally addicting!! So here's what I finished:





From SIS TV Shabby Rock Star Collection, I came up with these:







From Those Were the Days, I did these:

I even turned this one for the challenge at A Million Memories on not using squares or rectangles.

And for my many and new pp from Scenic Route:

I'm a little overwhelmed with wanting to try out for design teams and getting published with my scrapbooking...and juggling my other life of wedding planning, nursing shared leadership, getting rid of this cough, and just everyday life.

So for today, I'll just scrap!

Love story that bloomed from friendship

Journaling: "AT first I was disappointed that Mike's schedule changed, and that it would just be Gil and me left to mountain bike. But things happen for a reason and biking through the trails of Coyote Hills together allowed us to become closer. Between nursing each other's 'sports injuries' and enjoying the beauty of the surroundings, fate had to run its course. We were in the beginning of falling in love."


"Best Buds"


Heidi Grace Designs by Fiskars, Maya Road Ribbon, My Mind's Eye, Bazzill, The Paper Studio mini clothes.

I've been bad...

I'm supposed to be on a budget for the wedding. I can't help it though...I'm a little tired of the same supplies/papers I've been using. Love, Elsie, American Crafts, 7 gypsies...blah, blah, blah....I love them, but i want to try something new and different.

Well, I plan on doing a lot of scrapping to make up for my spending!!

okay, i feel better....

i scrapped....

for a dare...

entry to dare # 70

dare: use supplies you wouldn't use for scrapping. i used old jewelry that were mostly gifts. i don't wear them anymore but i can't throw them away. the personalized bracelet was a gift from a bff. the bracelet was a gift from a good friend who traveled to the philippines. the charms were from a bracelet bought from american eagle.

supplies: american crafts, bazzill, junkitz, uniball pen. other: bracelets, charms, fabric from traci bautista's kol laj.

journaling: "I am timid but bold. I have many contradictions. I am a chameleon but I hate change. I am a trendy, big dork. I am organized and chaotic. I have many friends but only trust a handful. I am a leader who follows. I am a kid with an old soul."
I AM SO FREAKIN' BUMMED!!! FIRST, I SWITCHED MY SHIFT TO GET TOMORROW OFF AND ENDED UP WORKING 3 SUNDAYS IN A ROW!! THEN, PHOTOWORKS DIDN'T SEND OUT MY PICS IN TIME FOR TOMORROW'S CLASS. SO I END UP DIGGING THROUGH FIVE YEARS' WORTH OF PICS TO FIND THE GOLDEN 12 (I EVEN FOUND ONE FROM HIGH SCHOOL). BUT THE WORST NEWS CAME WHEN I FOUND OUT THE KRISTINA CONTES CLASS WAS CANCELLED!!! SOMETHING ABOUT THE STORE MESSING UP ON HER ITINERARY SO SHE MISSED HER FLIGHT!

OK, NEED TO STOP YELLING! *takes in deep breath*

Really, I thought it was so awesome to finally meet one of my scrapping idols on the luckiest day of the year---7/7/07!! Freakin' A!! WTF?!!! *&$#@%

*takes another deep breath*

Alright....hopefully, I can take the class sometime in September....

At least, her dare #70 is up and I can start playing again!!
