Be Fit

Thanks for all the comments yesterday.. i am even more inspired to get my run on :-) Here is my LO i did last night using the SC sketch. I am in need of black ink... i only have brown, in fact i need a whole bunch now that i am stamping a lot more! Oh and lesson learned Vellum is not a great paper to print on... it smears easily!



Oh so today was my last official day of work, they are letting me take a couple days to finish up around the house before we leave on the 27th :-) Yay!! Thanks for stopping by!

Ready to get Fit


Hey i am so excited... i have been into running lately (ok more the losing weight but i have to do it to lose the weight)! Nike made it fun by coming out with this. I took a pic and totaly want to scrap my fitness goals using this pic!! The sensor works with the ipod and tracks your speed and distance... you upload it to the Nike site and it will post it to facebook if you want (way to keep me accountable for running hard). Also you can challenge people and your friends. I am pumped i just need to calibrate it and i can start using it!! No Scrappy Goodness to showcase.. but i need to get on this challenge, wanna play along too?

Capture the Everyday Moments

K so DPayne from SC posted a challenge for the 7.8.9 10:11:12 challenge :-) You could join too! The challenge was to scrap that photo we took for Liz's Challenge. I had so much fun with this LO. Tried out misting (Maya Mist Turquoise) and i used my yummy camera stamp with frame. I didnt use much PP at all and i think i like what i came up with! Scrapping has been a blast lately for me (ive always enjyed capturing memories, but the process has been way fun as of late). Well here is is Enjoy! :-)
I am off to get back to work. 2 more weeks from today is my last day. I have been thinking about using this blog to not only track my scrappy goodness but also to document the life of an IPAP student when i get to school. This would be for people who have been accepted to the program and are interested in what life is like, but also for me to look back on later.
Love,
Rachael

I took on a fun little challenge by Liz where i took a picture on 7/8/09 at 10:11:12 :-) I was at work and only had my iphone so the pic is stinky, o well i guess thats part of the whole challenge to just capture that moment (not to retake and retake). So here is my photo and i will be scrapping it tonight hopefully!! You can still do this tonight at 10:11:12 PM :-) You should play along too :-)

July SC kit is in...

And i have never been on such a scrapp'n high! YAY for my scrapp'n Mojo! Anyways here are a coupe LO's.

This one i did a couple days ago for fourth of July. I did this page to document why we are so lucky to be American. Its some older JBS PP from my Sept 2008 WIP kit.Anyways i recieved my July SC kit Documentary and was super inspired. I am loving this kit! The next LO i did last night. I think i chanelled my inner Stephanie Howell to do this page, because it was a page about me and i never do those. So this Page is about me getting ready to go to Physcian Assistant school and my fears of leaving my hubby and baby behind.
Ok so finally i did another page with this yummy kit and i really like this one. It is basically telling my daughter that my world is perfect with her in it. I was totally inspired by Emily Anderson on this one, you should chack out her blog (she is the reason i started one, though i get sidetracked and forget to post alot :-) ). Anyways here it is...Thanks for stopping by and looking, i am heading off to work now :-) Have a great Wednesday.

Happy 4th of July.. Belated


We had a really good 4th of July, how about you??!! We just BBq'd with friends and shot off the small fireworks in the backyard. Oh and Sparklers were my fav! I really am so proud to be an American. The rights i have in comparison to many of the middle easter countries are so AWESOME! I can vote, work, serve my country, choose the man I marry, marry for love, the right to be an individual, right to worship as i please and the right to wear what i choose. Seriously i am so happy and proud to be an American Woman, and glad for my daughter too!

So i have gotten some Lo's done and have not updated so here we go!! SC is my new FAV place!



I have a mini that i havent posted... i need to get the pics first! Next time :-)

Oh and my camera lens, while traveling to Toledo to visit my Mom, was broken :-( I seriously shed TEARS over it! Anyways it was a blessing in disguise because i am now a proud owner of a 50 MM 1.8 lens and i couldnt be happier (still getting used to no zoom though!). I forsee a LO on that topic soon with the new SC Camera stamp coming tomorrow (YAY)!
