Words on Wednesday: Sayings | Digital Scrapbooking Tips

Hi Fellow Scrappers!  Does your family have a favorite saying…maybe it’s a movie quote…or a phrase from an inside joke. Those sayings make great words for your scrapbooks. Sayings… boy, my family has a bunch of them. I can only think of a few of them, but I know we have/had a zillion of ’em.”

  • “Were you born in a barn?” (question asked when someone didn’t shut the entrance door to the house. Usually on Sunday night’s as my Mom & Dad’s. Culprits were usually the grandkids racing out the door to play.)
  • “You make a better door than a window!” (asked when someone crossed in front of the TV and blocked their vision.)
  • “Live or Die. It’s up to you.” (said by Grandma Pitcher when she transplanted something)
  • “Those potatoes are so creamy!” (said to change the subject. Quote from the movie While You Were Sleeping)
  • “That must have happened while I was in the mission field!” (of my father’s 9 children, 5 daughters and 2 son’s have served mission’s for our church! )  Said whenever someone brought up a memory you had no idea what they were talking about. It didn’t have to happen during the actual mission, it could be yesterday, but we would always that. It eventually morphed in “Mission Memory! Also funny because they were actually non-mission memories! LOL
  • Too many accessories clutter an outfit!” (said when commenting about someone’s outfit or jewelry. Quote from the movie Troop Beverly Hills”)
  • “Green means go in Utah!” (said to any driver who doesn’t drive as fast through the intersection as we might have liked.)
  • Stupid Announcer Comment! (said when watching sports and the play by play guys makes an absolutely ridiculously statement!)
  • Chelle’s Dad says, “Because it’s colder in the mountains than in the spring!” I find this one funny because I’ve never heard him say it.
  • Another I remember him saying was “Act, Not React!”

More recently I will say:

  • Dude! Really?
  • Seriously? That’s what your going with!”

Think about the phrases that you and your family use.  Then scrap about it!   Let me show you what the CT Members created (links to the products are in the caption under the photo):

Melissa N. (KSCroppyChic) shared what she found out after polling her friends and family.”I polled my family on what I say most. Come to find out, it was unanimous among the 4 of them. It’s not so much a saying as a word, so I asked my sister, my mom and 2 best friends and again unanimous. I was struggling with this topic for some reason so I decided to go with a word more than a saying, hope it works. On the other hand, I think I need to find something else to say! Seriously! LOL” Here’s her LO.

Mel N (KSCroppyChic) Mel used Apple of my Eye and Fill-Me-In-Bundle

Nee Nee (neenee) She used Ladybug Hugs!

Ophelia (navaja77) She used Rainbow Collection, Oh Snap! & Fill Me In {Marker}

Hope this post gives you lots of great ideas.
Hugs!

Fill Me In Playdate | Digital Scrapbooking Inspiration

Hey! I love to read! Let me just start out with that. I’ve had eye-glasses since I was 16 years old. Almost 30 years. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve had a hard time reading because I wasn’t able to see as clearly and my tri-focals had to be in just the right spot to read. Yesterday I was reading a 2-book series by Carla Kelly (Borrowed Light & Enduring Light) They take place in SE Wyoming and I had read about 1/3 of book one. I usually read in the bathtub, but I had an illuminating thought last night. If I could hold the book right in front of my nose in the tub and see without the eye-glasses, I could do that in my bed. LOL! It’s only taken me years to discover this obvious piece of wisdom. I’ve always had to use my glasses to read street signs, etc, and it just didn’t occur to me….duh! So I’m guessing you’re laughing at me and you should be be….  Long story short, I read all night. I finished book 2 this morning at 6:30 A.M. I had truly missed reading. I love “holding” the book”. I’d been considering a e-Reader, but didn’t want to lose that “piece” of myself. So here’s my thought for the week….sometimes the idea for a LO has been in front of your nose all along…. and my advice? Well, don’t wait 30 years to figure it out!

Wait, I have to tell another funny on myself. As a telephone agent (survey taker), I type what I hear all day long. I’ve got LDS General Conference on and I am listening as I write this post. So if suddenly I sound very profound…. I hope it’s me typing and that I don’t start plagiarizing a talk. LOL

Chelle’s been busy doing 2 new alphas for us this week. Fill Me In {Bundle}, {Marker} and {Pencil}. You can get them as a bundle or individually. I’ve linked up the images for you below.


Drips! Splats! For our CU Friends, Chelle offers CU Splats!
Chelle provided not 1 but 2 Digital Scrapbook Tutorial: They too are linked below.

As a reminder, Chelle provides this you-tube tutorial on what to do when doodles cross over the edge of a paper.

If your mail client doesn’t play friendly with the videos, you’ll find all Chelle’s videos on her You-Tube Channel.

In our newsletter’s this week, Chelle hooked us up with a link to make the “Family Banner” hybrid project. It has so many applications, but I see it with a Christmas or Thanksgiving application. I”m sure you have ideas a plenty.
