My April LRS DT Designs

I know it's been a while, it's been so busy here now that I started an outside the home fulltime job at our local Churh plus I am going back to school, but I am going to start making more time for my little old blog again :)

To start it off here are my DT designs using the April Little Red Scrapbook main kit and addon kits. I LOVED working with this kit, so much fun and so easy to create with! The colors just go so well together!

Thanks so much for looking, make sure you head over to our DT gallery and check out what the other girls did! :)

Little Red Scrapbook's "Out with the Old, In with the New" Blog Hop!

Hi everyone, Welcome to Little Red Scrapbook's "Out with the Old, In with the New" Blog Hop and my blog! :)  I have an awesome Sketch Challenge for you. I LOVE sketches from Pagemaps so I chose one from their January Maps. I hope you like it...

Here is my layout I made using this sketch and the Little Red Scrapbook January main kit and addons.

All you have to do is make a new layout using this sketch and post it here in the LRS blog hop challenge forum on my post HERE, and you will have a chance to win one of those awesome prizes on the LRS blog. I can't wait to see what you guys do with this sketch! :)

Now make your way over to Design Team member Karrie's blog for some more awesome challenges.

Blog Hop Rules and Prizes from the LRS blog

With the start of the new year we all like to set goals and think of new ways to get organized. With this in mind our talented Design Team has come up with some fun challenges that may help you get started.

Read below to find out all of the ways you can win:

STEP 1: First you will need to leave a comment here (on the LRS blog) and tell us what goal or organization idea you have for the New Year. This will not only inspire all of us with your goal or idea, but it will also get your name entered into a random drawing for a chance to win the blue colored inspired “hodgepodge” prize. Pretty easy so far right!

STEP 2: Second you will need to visit all FIVE blogs and leave a comment on EACH blog. This is important so we know you have been to all of the blogs. If you have left a comment on each of the blogs your name will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win the orange colored inspired “hodgepodge”prize. Another easy peasy way to win!

STEP 3: Once you’ve done that, you will need to check out our Facebook page, and LIKE us. This will put your name in another random drawing for a chance to win the green color inspired “hodgepodge” prize.

STEP 4: For a chance to win the Love LRS Grand Prize head on over to our message board and say hello, then upload your project and/or layout for any of the design team challenges posted on their blogs to the “2012 Out with the Old, In with the New” gallery. The Blog Hop challenges will run from January 27^th until midnight January 30th. You can enter as many times as you like. You do not need to be a subscriber to participate. The more entries, the more chances you have to win!

Then on February 1^st, be sure to check out our Facebook page, or visit the LRS community or the LRS blog to see if you are one of the lucky winners!

Life happens...

 

 

 

I have had a little to much of "life" happen this week

 

Things that are making me blue...

• Weight gain (8 lbs, I hate myself....and food....not really, but you get it)
• Little to no money, people asking for money when at the store or bank, and me WANTING to help but being in the same boat as them, maybe not homeless, but not having enough, I know what that feels like. Christmas coming us has me stressed out!
• The flu hitting our house for over a week now, and before that we had colds.
• Feeling like I am alone with alot of things lately.
• LOTS of stress with school, appointments, child care stuff etc.....)

I dislike the month of Dec for so many reasons, and today "Dec 1st" felt like a "Monday"....I really need to find a job, STAT! One thing that made all the stress go away for a minute...Bella coming in to give me a kiss and telling me I am beautiful! I ♥ my kiddos so stinkin much! They are the reason I push through all the "hard" stuff!

Creating goodies for my Etsy store

 

 

In my office working on stuff for my Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/NikkiH
Trying to make that extra Money for Christmas for the kiddos :) I even stopped at Starbucks on the way home from Cub scouts so I would be "awake" to work tonight, got my ipod on, for some good music and now it's time to get to work! :) ♥
