My Creative Inspiration Challenge #12

It's FRIDAY! And halloween ... but my page has nothing to do with halloween or even fall. I stumbled upon this photo of my fave flower & knew I needed a bit of sunshine. We had our first bit of snow the other day - I don't love winter at all, but today was really nice & warm. Have a happy halloween everyone! - Kayleigh

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Today we have a big family Halloween/ Thanksgiving event with my mom's side of the family. Should be a fun time. My cousin has a little guy who is 15 days younger than Spencer so it should be fun to see them together. I am making the appetizers for today & thought I would make a hot crab dip. I know I have made it before but have no idea where the recipe came from, so I am sure I will find one on the Internet. Seriously what did people do before the Internet?! I fell in love with this sweet page of Renee's. Be sure to leave some love for all the talented scrappers & check back tomorrow for Tara's challenge! -Kayleigh

Creative Challenge #8 Layouts

Hi, everyone, it's actually 12:50 a.m. and I should be in bed, but I thought I would do my post first. I'm looking forward to later today I get to sit on the couch and relax and watch the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Ottawa Senators and then tonight I get to hopefully watch the Pittsburgh Steelers kick some butt against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's nice to have a day where you have nothing to do. Of course I hope to squeeze in some scrapping time. :) This week we have chosen to feature Fiona's Layout a.k.a Applechick. Love her username since I'm a huge Apple Computer fan. I love how beautiful and pretty her layout is. So Sweet! Thanks for everyone who participated. Don't forget to look back tomorrow when Kayleigh posts Creative Challenge #9. Have a Great Sunday - Tara
