anyway,, here is a layout i created using the newest kit from the pink ninjas. *redemption song* i got the image from we heart it, not sure of the source anymore, i saved it a while ago then printed it and scrapped it. funny, if you think about, i scrapbooked a picture of a chicks legs and i dont even know her name. i just love the picture. cute, yes??

i had the major pleasure of watching gnomeo and juliet over this past weekend. wow. love.that.movie. so, so stinkin cuteeeeeee!!! i want a million garden gnomes and two lawn flamingos. my favorite part was that when we walked into the theatre some of our favorite friends were sitting right smack dab in the middle,,, so we got to crash their family outting and go to dinner all together afterwards. perfect. so right after the movie, i had to take a picture of the sign for the movie, i sooo have a major crush on that movie,, cant wait for the gnome phenomenon to take off,, ive only been waiting for years!!! tap~tap~tap my inner elbow,,, so anyway, since im in love with the movie, it totally makes a spot into my project 52{ish}. how could it not??

here is a cute and pretty simple layout i created with the latest addiction, *love fool*,,, lots of american crafts going on there,, love american crafts,,, here is *1984*,, love scrapping old photos

yay!!!! im so excited the share with a little secret ive been keeping,,, i made it onto the *scrap yourself* design team!!! so rad, right?? if you know anything about lil ol me,,, im a big fan of scrapping myself,,, thats not bad, is it?? i mean, my kids do get a ton of attention on the layouts,, although i have to admit, my poor hubby has noticed his face hasnt made it to many layouts as of late. i promise to work on that,,, i think i just take most of my pictures when hes working,, he does work six days a week afterall,,, anyway,,, im sooooo excited and have already gotten started on scrapping myself!!! so here is the layout i created to apply for the design team position, i used mostly *glitter in the air*, but there is a bit of marchs addiction in there as well as embellishments ive been hoarding from previous kits. here is *ally*cakes*,,, by the way, *ally*cakes* is a name that D {who creates our amazing blog designs} gave me. and it totally stuck,, i guess you can tell, i loved it,,, thought it was oh so fun, and perfect!!!

over at candy shoppe designs, the new prompt is up and ready to rock!!! red hot and blue ~ use the color combination as well as the sketch,,,

here is my take, *san diego fair*,,, such an adorably old photo of the dude and ricardo,,, awwww,,, precious!!!

oh my!!! how lame am i?? i totally forgot to post my layout for the candy shoppe designs domino effect prompt. {sorry cherry lolita ~ forgive me??},,, i loved this prompt,,, and here is ever so clever titled layout *daniel & papa*,,, i know, i know, wicked smart eh?? this kit is also a collaboration of several pink ninja addicts kits,,, past, present and future,,, {just so you know} ;-)

the good news is that there will be another prompt very soon on candy shoppe designs,,, and there is also the *cotton candy* prompt running right now,,,

love, ally

one night we, the pink ninja addicts got together at mi casa and scrapped,, {well, we were missing one, so it wasnt a complete team,, but you know what i mean},,, we were working on the *carousel* kit,,, and carrie created this beauty,,, i tried and i tried to not think of how amazing that layout was when i continued to play with my own kit, and finally gave up on trying to push this amazing layout outta my head,,, i didnt wanna copy cat,,, even though carrie is rad, understands that inspiration comes from here and there and i know she would never accuse me of snaking idea or so, but still,,, im a big fan of giving credit where credit is due,,, and not to proud to do so either,,, ;-) so carrie, again, thank you for always inspiring me like crazy,,, i love everything you do, it all turns into magic,, so thank you,,, and with that, i guess the only part i copied was the darker page in the back ground and the same plaid paper,,, but again, giving credit where its due,,, its all her,,,

here is *love her*,,, my sweeet ballerina on her first day of dance, staring at the studio,,, taking it all in,,,

in other news,,, i jumped on the spring board bang wagon,,, love it,,, there is also a quickie link in the left side of my blog,,, and because ive been sorta good about updating my twitter,,, i thought i deserved another silly fun site that i get to answers questions and have fun,,, i am the girl, after all, that does those fun emails *what color shoes were you wearing three nights ago*,,, i like answering questions,,, so,, give it to me,,,

love, ally
