CASE'in

What's a "CASE" you ask?  In my little scrappy corner of the world it means "copy and share everything" and that's exactly what I did for this LO!  

Over at Scrap Attack Scrapbooking we're having a fun SSU (SASsy Scrapbook University).  The classes are on defining your style and one of the assignments was to scrap-lift (or CASE) a LO that you had chosen in a previous class.  Well I chose this BEAUTIFUL LO by Mette:

I used a lot of the exact same products Mette used, but I was out of white cardstock, so I used a light gray color for my background.

The pictures are of my oldest on the 4-wheeler with my hubby...she was NOT a fan.

and but sure to stop back by tomorrow evening as I have lot of fun things to share!!!  :)

Patternless and Free!

Yup, that's right, I made my first "patternless" dress and I love the way it turned out!  When I say "patternless" I don't mean I just started chopping up my material and hoping for the best.  I had a dress from The Children's Place I really liked so I just used it to make my own pattern.  I pretty much just did it, but if you're not comfortable with that Dana over at Made has a great tutorial on making your own patterns.  

I was also inspired by Sheri, of Soren Lorensen Design, to make the pocket and hood patchwork.  

and a bunch more photos...because she's just so darn cute!

and some of the hood....

and a few more...because I really do exist!  ;)

The Johnson Girls!  :)  

(and I promise...more scrappy stuff coming VERY soon!!! I don't just sew.  lol )

Growing Up

That's what Grace is doing on me.  It seems like it's all happened overnight.  I walked into her room Sunday afternoon and instead of finding my sweet baby laying down sleeping with her kitty...

I found this....

one big girl standing up in her crib...

and looking VERY proud of herself!

and that has just opened up a whole can of worms at naptime too I might add!  lol

I'm off to finish getting everything together...because my sweet Sister-in-Law asked me if I wanted the day off tomorrow (ie...she's watching ALL three of my children!)  Thank you Michelle!!!

Swagger Wagon Addict

If you remember a few days ago I posted this video that had me quite amused.  This morning when the hubs was at the computer Kessa went up to him and asked if she could watch "Where My Kids At?"  We both thought that was rather funny as she's seen it maybe twice before...so he played it for her...and then she wanted to watch it again...and again...and then for the rest of the day I was cracking up as I kept hearing this:  (sorry it's sideways, today's the first day I've even been able to get videos OFF my camera so I'll take what I can get!  lol)



(and I do have lots of sewing and scrappy stuff to share, but it's going to have to wait!  Night night.  :)

Lovin' the Sass'

A few weeks ago for the National Scrapbooking Day celebration there was a crop at SAS (Scrap Attack Scrapbooking) and on for one of the challenges we had to answer some questions (like what shapes we liked using, how many pictures, etc) and then we had to do a LO based on the answers of the person before us.  The ever sweet Sherri was before me and I got to use her answers.

Umm...have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE the Sassafras Monstrosities line?  So so cute!!!!

and goodness, doesn't the little dude look LITTLE?!  These pictures are from last summer.
