STS Recipe Challenge

It never fails. Just as soon as I think I'm so tired I will finally be able to get some sleep -no, it doesn't work out that way. First my stomach started growling really bad and there was no way to ignore it. So after eating a snack then I was wide awake and my pain medication was failing. So here I am 4 1/2 hours later writing on my blog waiting for the new batch of medication to kick in.

During this awake time I spent visiting with my house guest who should have been asleep but she had other ideas too. In fact we thought she was down for the night but she woke up screaming about a half hour ago. Since she is only 14 months and can't tell time we don't mind to much as long as Monkey doesn't get woken up. After all he has a hard full day of kindergarten ahead of him.

I also decided I would work on the Recipe challenge at STS. I had written down all my steps a couple of days ago so all I had to do was locate my items. I would be happier if the challenge had only called for three photos but I'm happy with how it turned out in the end.

Trick or Treat kit by A-manda Creation

I had the pleasure of playing around with A-manda Creation's new kit called Trick or Treat. This kit is so cool I was almost drooling over it. Okay, I know what a visual. It might actually start a trend after you see it.

STS Challenges for October - Use It or Lose It

Hello!
Pain who is my constant companion is keeping me from sleeping. My pain medications never take the pain away but usually just take the edge off aren't even putting me to sleep. Lucky me as both my left leg and right arm and hand have been playing the numbess game. So between the all over hurt of my fibromyalgia, the spinal pain from my numerous disc issues and the pain from my limbs going numb I'm doing very well. I picked up the free kit at the Stuff to Scrap store and made my layout. Of course my Scrapbook Max program had to give me some issues to like freezing up. Oh, the joy I call my life. Anyhow the challenge is figuring out what to do with this kit. I used two papers and made them into swirl borders and fit the flowers in for a little boy. Not bad for scrapping under the influence!

Game Night by Winsor Digi Designs and Freebies

Winsor Digi Designs has made a new kit called Game Night. This is a colorful kit that is really cool. It has blank cards to make your own playing cards, it has dice, puzzle pieces and anything else you might need to record your game nights. Stop by her blog later on today and check it out. This week it is the featured kit so that means you'll get it at a fantasic price.

New kit from 4 My Babies Scraps and Freebies

Michelle at 4 My Babies Scraps has made a breast cancer kit called 'Linda'. If you visit her blog http://4mybabiesscraps.blogspot.com/ you can find a free alphabet for this kit and if you visit her store you can get the whole kit for free. The store can be found here: http://www.just4ourbabies.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_2&products_id=442

This kit was made in honor of Michelle's mom, Linda who passed away in 2008. The kit is a lovely tribute to Linda. This kit is a wonderful way to remember your loved ones who may have passed on from breast cancer or to honor those who have survived it. My aunt is a survivor. Here is a preview of the kit.

Here are the two layouts I've made today with the kit. One is a versatile style which can be used for general scrapbooking and the other is a survivor themed layout.
