Project Christine

On Splitcoast, the place that I play, every once in a while they do what is called a "Virtual Scrapbooking Weekend" this is where a challenge/idea is given for a scrapbook layout and then you have 2 hours to complete the challenge. You then upload your pages on to your gallery and link it with a special word so that others that are playing can view it too. On Saturday evening there was a very special VSB challenge this one was for a project of a mom who had passed away at age 35. She has 4 children and thousands of pictures of these precious little ones. These are my pages I will be giving. You can read more about Project Christine here http://christineskeepsakes.blogspot.com/
I thought it was important to share this as it is a wonderful story of love and friendship.

Mike and Mike in the Morning

Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN radio asked
Which would be more memorable in 10 years;
The Lions 0-16 or
The Steelers winning their 6th Super Bowl Championship
for John it is the Lions 0-16
I emailed Mike and Mike this morning but it was too late in the show but I wanted
everyone to know our vote!

The Super-Dip

thanks Carrie

RoTel Dip
1 can RoTel Tomatoes Original
2 blocks of Cream Cheese
1 pound of sausage browned
heat cream cheese and RoTel together and add sausage
serve with nacho chips

Could that be any easier???
And it is that good too!

What is like to be a Knorp?

My Father~in~law is one of 10 children.
My husband is the oldest grandchild of 30 something.
My 16 yo son is the oldest great grandchild of many.
When you marry into the family someone probably already has your name.
When planning your wedding forget friends you can only invite family.
When you name your child, he or she will probably be the second or third Knorp with that same name.
You won't ever know all the names of all of your relatives so don't even try.
Family is a really big deal!
Moving away from The Knorp Family is an even Bigger Deal!
My husband, his brother, his oldest uncle and his youngest uncle who is only 4 years older than him are the only family members to not live within an hour or so of The Entire Knorp Family.
that's The Life of a Knorp!

This purse holds 20 standard size cards!
The template is on Splitcoast Stamping.
I made it as a challenge for the Mini VSN.
It is made using TAC "Always Remember"
(The Angel Company) Stamp Set.
I also used fabulous DP I purchased in a paper pack.
I am not usually a paper pack kinda girl but I love this one.
It is called Magnolia by MME
(My Mind's Eye)
It was on 1/2 at The Sassy Scrapper here in Middle Tennesse
can't beat that deal!
The base, Yes I know it is strong and no it isn't because it has 2 layers.
It is because I use good Card Stock.
I prefer Stampin' Up! Card Stock but that is only because I used to be a demo.
I am sure that other CS is just as good, I just haven't found any!!!
Now for the extras
Ribbon are Flowers are Stampin' Up!
and so is the Tab punch.
Brads you can get anywhere.

This card was made using the Stampin' Up!
Boat Loads of Love Stamp Set
I created it for the Mini VSN challenge from last weekend
Something New Something Old Something Borrowed Something Blue
My new was the image
My old was the ribbon
My borrowed was the pencils I colored with
My blue....well is the card itself
