Anyone having a scrappy/creative weekend this weekend?
We always have a low key weekend. We try to get out to the cemetaries with the kids and do flag placements, take some time to remember those we have lost personally (both veterans, long line of military) and a fire with a few friends or just us. We are also taking the weekend off from bmx racing too. It is a rest/relax weekend here.
So I will have time to create/scrap! It is much needed!
What about y'all? Any creative/scrappy plans?
Want some challenges?
I plan on finishing up some at Scrapbook Generation from NSD and then some on here but I am always up for putting up some more, I figure the more the merrier and we can never have enough inspiration!

mikklynn I feel like the past two or three weeks I have fallen off the face of the earth so I get it. The past few weeks have been SO busy I have barely been able to breathe so I am so thankful for this quiet weekend. We all need a reset, me especially!

I have 3 sewing commissions I have got to get done so that will be my weekend in between laundry and misc housework, and catching up on my DVR.
I may do a layout or two if the spirit moves me while I'm watching TV, but I'll probably be surfing the net instead.

Last weekend was the long one in Canada. Not that long weekends have a lot of significance to a retiree!
This weekend, we have a family event out of town. Driving up Saturday morning and then home on Sunday.
I hope to get the page that has been sitting on my counter for over a week finished this morning and maybe its facing page. And I might have some scrappy time on Monday.
By Wednesday, I need to have my dgs's album done so I can deliver it to him at his grad next weekend. Just need to get the last of the printed pages into page protectors, cut up some grad pp to fill in the sleeves in the PL pages, and then maybe fill something into the few blank pages...
How about a challenge to just GET SOMETHING FINISHED!

Yes, I am scrafting all weekend (except for enough time to wash my car, it is filthy, it is hard to keep it clean in the winter in my small town with dirt roads and not automatic car wash - too cold for me to wash it during winter). Scrafting, scrafting, and more scrafting is on my agenda - hopefully beginning tonight when I get home from work and after my 1 hour on the tread. Hubby said he was going to take care of EVERYTHING else (which he usually does anyway as he is retired). grammadee - I will take you up on that challenge. I don't really do other challenges other than get stuff done. My projects are generally pretty specific. I will be working on my National Day Of.....project I have lots of photos I have taken (never printed), that need to get on a page. I will hope to work on Granddaughters 5th grade promotion which just happened on Wed. I need to get all my Courthouse pages that I completed during CalvinBall in page protectors (which just arrived a couple of weeks ago) and albums. You don't know how much I am looking forward to this weekend. |

I only have a few things on the agenda this weekend so I am hoping to get some time scrappy time. I've been making cards for the 100 day project just about everyday but I am aching to make a layout.

 I hope to work on editing and ordering some more pics from NC with a 50% off code. I want some 5x7's for some 1 picture pages. I'm thinking of going for a very simple 8x8 album this time with my best pics since I already have a 12x12 from an earlier trip there. Made another card with my delux design templates from peamac...having fun with them. This card is for my sil birthday. ..pics of his kids. |

I will be crafting. I have 2 stores now in my area that want to sell my handmade greeting cards, so I have A LOT of cards to get done. I might scrap too, but we'll see. Monday afternoon I will be at my brother's house for 2 birthday parties. an 18 yr old and a 3 yr old.  |

yes, me! a friend and I are going to 1 1/2 days of the 3-day crop at our (sort of) local SB store... 12 hours on Saturday, and 6 hours on Sunday-- then we're going back to her house to have a barbecue. The only thing is, I have to pick her up on my way to the SB store, so I can't jam my car full of crap the way I usually do.  I will probably take my G45 mini album project to work on and my Hawaii page kits... but I also kind of want to take my Silhouette, my laptop, and a whole bunch of other stuff that I probably won't use, but you know, it's better to have it ALL, just in case... lol! |

@elaynef I love your layout of all photos, just a couple embellishments. Very nice. I've been doing some very simple layouts recently, too.

low-key weekend here as well - I'm scrapping, scanning, and ordering photos today. I'll pick photos up tonight when I grocery shop along with more adhesive. No real plans (yet) for the weekend so unless that changes, I'm planning to take grammadee up on her challenge and get some stuff done |

I'm hoping to scrap on Monday. I have a few pictures to scrap and then I'll be planning an 8x8 album of pictures from two trips to the coast. That will probably mean a lot of time spent using Photosheet and uploading pictures to Snapfish and ordering.

@elaynef, great page with all those photos!
It's chore weekend here. We're actually planting the garden and mowing. I almost always have a layout un progress on my desk so I can spend down moments here and there on it. I just finished one the other day, and unfortunately I have to clean the desk before I start another. Hopefully, can get it done though.
Enjoy your time to all of you that have more free time this weekend!

Well, here is my contribution to "getting something finished". I got all the copies tucked into the grad book. Needed 127 page protectors, but they all fit in one album b/c the pages are so thin. Also cut the pieces to go into the photo sleeves. Then I completed the page that had been on my counter for a week and a half. Then I did the facing page:  2 wheels no worries by Gramma Dee, on Flickr  2 wheels no worries 2 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr |

It's not a long weekend here, but I'll be doing some crafting this afternoon (it's already Saturday here) and tomorrow. I just got some new watercolours and want to try them out - need some new cards for my stash so it's a perfect opportunity.

This is so rare! I can scrap all weekend. The chatty kid who likes craft stuff is camping with family and I can leave stuff out in my living room!

I have the house to myself for most of today so I'm hoping to get something done. I'm just trying to convince myself to mow the lawns first.

Been sick and we need to prep for overnight company next week plus a 8th grade promotion/ birthday party next weekend. Hoping to have enough energy to do at least one layout though as DH won't be home tomorrow.

I am working overtime during the weekend and then the holiday as well. I am a 911 dispatcher and we have several DUI details going on. I am planning to scrap Saturday afternoon though I am working on my WITL album still. |

@elaynef, I like your beach layout. The two pages I worked on this morning were a lot like yours, wall to wall photos with just a little space left over to embellish. I do it a lot, actually. It has a nice clean look. grammadee, aren't you glad you had that bicycle paper handy? I like the big circles too. They make me think of the wheels. anniefb, Have fun with your watercolors! Do you share your cards in the gallery? Chinagirl828, did you mow your lawn? Well, I put together 2 pages this morning, and I'll have some more time this weekend too. DD14 spent the night with a friend, and they're heading into NYC for the day. She promised she'll take pictures, and she will, but the brat doesn't always share them with me. So, here's my situation: I made page kits for the crop that was cancelled, and I've scrapped almost everything else that I have for that album except for 2 pages. My plan is to scrap the last two pages that I don't have kits for, and then go back to sorting and cleaning when I have the opportunity. I don't want to start work on those kitted pages because then I'll have nothing to scrap when the rescheduled crop comes around next month. I'm going to try to get some yard work done today, and then come back and see if I have any ideas for those pages. I had no clue what to do with them when I was making the kits, so I don't know if I'll have better luck today, but I'll give it some fresh eyes and see what happens. Happy Scrapping everyone! |

I told myself that Saturday is for chores and errands. Sunday and Monday are for whatever I want! With the exception of getting my car washed on Sunday and giving my dogs a bath, I crafting off and on both days.  |

DH and I have Twins tickets this afternoon, so I have been doing laundry this morning. I have to take my MIL to church tomorrow, but the afternoon is mine! |

The laundry is done and I've spent as much time in the garden weeding as my back will allow in one day. I spent an hour and a half this morning cleaning up my craft room after the April/May card marathon so I think I can finally get creative this afternoon. Unless my bed calls my name for a nap.

Afternoon all! I was able to get 2 pages done yesterday and one this morning before I decided I needed some air, so we went out for a bit before DDS eye appt and the flags. Then I was exhausted so I took a long nap. So here it is 3 pm almost and I am just getting down to the craft space. Umm I think I will organize some purchases and go from there. I have been so busy and thus so tired the mojo is flowing like molasses lately.

I wish I were. I pulled out another week of PL to work on after my Mom leaves (I just can't scrap while I have visitors) tomorrow, but after that, our plan is to disassemble our bedroom and paint the walls. We definitely won't get it all done in 2 days with 3 kids underfoot, but we're hoping to at least get 2 walls done...starting with the wall where our bed will go since the headboard has to be mounted to the wall. We've had our new bed since February and can't wait to start using it! |

Lots of errands this morning - credit union with DD17 to get a debit card; post office, drop DD17 off the next town over for a party, flea market, lunch, recycling. Home to do laundry and dishes and read a book and back to get DD from the party.
I did manage one layout so far - a single page using a deluxe cuts template of cardinals in our front garden. Working on another layout - it's looking to be a 4-page layout (yikes) from the Lego exhibit at the zoo. I need to pull dinner together and bring the clothes back in from the line so ....
