April Blogging Friends Blog Hop

Happy April and Happy Spring! It went from 55-80 degrees in like 2 days here in Northern California. Pure craziness!!! I think I may have even got a little red from the sun out at my kiddos baseball games yesterday. Spring break is over and my crazy kids are headed back to school on Monday....Thank goodness!!! I had a photoshoot last night and boy were the mosquitoes out in full force. I keep forgetting to put the spray in the car to have handy at baseball and my sunset photo shoots...MUST remember to do that!!!

So this month's theme is to CASE another member of our hop. I cased Libby Fens. I only CASEd her layout. This was such a hard decision for me, as is everything, so I made it a little easier on myself and just chose a layout from last month's hop. I really wanted to use a set that I hadn't used in months, a set that I have forgotten about {which is actually a lot} I used Life Me Up...love this set so much! I really don't and haven't used it much at all. My next two monthly classes will focus on items and sets retiring. We will be finding that out soon! I'm really hoping this set isn't on that list!

February Blogging Friends Blog Hop.

I am so glad the month of January is FINALLY over! It seemed to really drag.   The family has been hit again with that dreaded flu but this time around my husband and I both got it so that wasn't good. It was horrible! The last kiddo woke up yesterday with it, this round seemed to move fast so let's hope by end of then week he's good to go:) 

This month our theme is RED in celebration of Valentine's day! My creations are not totally red. A couple of these cards we made at last months class but I switched out the colors using red for the blog hop. Last month Stampin' Up! kicked off Sale-a-bration. For every $50 you spend {before tax and shipping} you get to pick out a FREE item from the Sale-a-bration catalog and the super cute Party Pandas is a FREEBIE you can select.

Let's see what Leanne has created this month!She's up next!
