Ready 2 Ride (and BLOGGER's BLACK HOLE STRIKES AGAIN)

Well, yesterday (Tuesday) I put up a post with a bunch of layouts (from work..shhh)....even checked the post before I left work to see if I had any comments.  Got home and sometime during the evening pulled up my blog and the post was not there...  I signed into work (from home) and the screen with my "new" post was still there, but when I refreshed the screen....VANISHED!!!  Once again, I've lost a post to the BLOGGER BLACK HOLE!!!!  So, I'm going to try to recreate it today (Wednesday)... sorry that it doesn't line up with my DT posts that were YESTERDAY!!!

At SCRAP OUR STASH every month we have a "pagerize" challenge (lift someones layout)...this month Sarah did this really cute layout below called Da Boyz.

I liked the cluster of embellies at the bottom and I even had that same trim!!!  Also, I really liked her strong color scheme, so I used some LYB (older line) papers and this is my result is below. 

And...this layout (that I posted a couple days ago, but wanted to share again) is showcased over at the NIKKI SIVILS blog today (yesterday).

And....  FROSTED DESIGNS sketch along Tuesdays gives us this cute little sketch...and I liked the simplicity of it, so used Bo Bunny Block Party to document last year (2009) xmas play called the Gingerman (photos of my son Joseph & his best buddy Kyle)

And, at SKETCHES IN THYME this week...it's not really my turn to have a project turned in...but I loved these buttons by our sponsor CHARLENE'S BUTTON BOX, so I used a sketch from THE SCRAPPIEST and got this little gem done!
