pink ninja's prompt---skin marks

Keeping up with my challenge to myself and with the prompt over at the PINK NINJA'S. I went for simple---and I likey!!! love the wings( QK) and the banner( QK) and lets not forget the polaroid--no its not real I faked it with another QK die----thanks to Jami she bought it for my bday!!!----:)

This tattoo is from this summer. I had the tattoo artist copy a design from my Ed Hardy tee tag. I have to say I am loving the old skool tats way more---I wouldn't mind even having a pin up one of these days---:) I am totally adicited to all the tattoo shows. Wish they would have kept tattoo highway on it was one of my faves---:( Do you have any tattoos or any skin marks( scars)? have a great night------gina

all about Quickutz !!!!!

I challenged myself to use PP, CS and my Quickutz on 10 layouts. I figured I have done a lot of layouts with a lot of goodies on them for some time. I invested in QK for one reason tired of running out of vowels and other letters that we use a lot when you buy sticker letters, chipboard and thickers. Plus I think they have some cute dies--: ) My dh has been laid off since July so without going out and buying all the new goodies that I see on other scrappers pages ---I challenged myself. I think at times people forget what they have in their stash. I know I have! I have challenged myself twice in these 4 months. I used only what I have---except for adhesive. and now this challenge only using qk. What do you think? could you do it? I know I have read on other blogs where they challenge themselves to not shop for scrappy stuff for a month or a week ---whatever the case maybBUT could you do it for 4 months or a year? Sometimes you have to think outside the box---visit blogs( sketch blogs, creative blogs , challenge, inspirational) that inspire you and bingo you got a page that was not new but waiting in your stash to be loved.---------------have a great night---:) I hope you were inspired i know a lot of the blogs I follow and my friends inspire me every day....gina

childs art, pumpkins, a thrift find and my girl

Oh to be a kid again so I could just draw. My little Samuel drew this ---picture is of us. too bad his teacher put her smiley on the front ---bad bad teacher. My Wyatt goofing around with the guts...cuteness--:)
Samuel being totally silly with his pumpkin guts. I love this face!
My latest find at the thrift store---not sure I like the speckles on his eyes but I love the goldness and the shiny body he has. Pure 70's!!! cute cute cute---:)

My girl coming off the bus from her Washington D.C trip. We picked her up at her school Saturday night---I was so so happy to see her.

What went on in your weekend? Mine as you can see was filled with fall goodness and a little trip to the thrift store. I love being able to go there you never know what you might find. Went there to really find a suit for my dd. She wants to be Charlie Chaplin for Halloween. I found a pair of dress pants for .99 cents ( and they were marked 50% off that) score!!! and then her dress jacket was 1.99 !!! my aunt collects vintage hats so she is allowing us to borrow a derby hat and cane for the costume. I can't wait for her to be all dressed up. This will be my all time favorite costume for sure.

Friday my little brought home the cutest picture that he drew of us. I had to share---:) have an awesome bright filled day of autumn -----gina
