Cub Scouts - Paper Camellia

Good morning.  Today I am sharing ANOTHER boy layout over at Paper Camellia.  I am excited that I am getting so many things scrapbooked.  I have used the Main Scrapbooking kit and the Embellishment Add-on.  I will say, the add-on is pretty spectacular.  There are more things included in this than I will ever have time to use.  Letters, words, 6x6 paper pad, ephemera and so much more.  Be sure to check it out HERE.  

Head over to the Paper Camellia blog for more details.

My to-do list!

I swear that my to-do list is never ending.  I really do keep a list, a never ending list.  I scratch something off and add three more things.  Maybe I shouldn't keep a list.  It is depressing.  But what would be more depressing is my lack of memory.  

So, big things on my list today was to do Bubba's party invites, Valentines for school and finish his Pinewood Derby car.  All have been accomplished.  

1.  Birthday Party invites complete, ready to hand out tomorrow and mail.

2.  27 Valentines complete and ready to be sent to school.

2a.  Quick unexpected trip to the doctor:o(

3.  Finished painting Pinewood Derby card and attached wheels, being sure they rotate appropriately.  Don't get me wrong, I solicited help from my two boys on this part:o)

It may not be the fastest car of the track but it surely will  be the coolest!

Derby is tomorrow, I'll keep you posted:o)

Leftovers for three days???

Ok, since it is not food, I have not broken my cardinal rule!  Its paper, chipboard and embellishments!!  Used again and again until it is gone.  Having a boy makes this collection perfect for my families adventures.  When I first started visualizing the concept for this layout, I could not get off of GOLD.  It was, after all, the "Golden Bullet!"  I had a piece of leftover gold glitter paper and Roman found gold thickers at Joann's soon after the race.  It took me days to attack this one.  But, with the aid of my "counselor" I decided to break a little bit away from original concept and brought out the woodgrain instead.  Perfect!  Add a little blue jean and yellow, stick with the gold features and add in some boy touches and we have ourselves a "Golden Bullet" layout.  What do ya think?  Boy with a touch of gold.  Look close to see the gold glitter paper, it is there I promise!

See it?

PS:  Again, these chipboard pieces, woodgrain paper (the other papers too) and "Nice Ride" and "Activity Schedule" tags are all from the All About a Boy collection I got over at Eclectic Paperie!
