2009-01-05T07:41:00.000-08:00

SO since Thanksgiving Ive been sick in one form or another. I had strep and once over that I got a sinus infection and a ear infection thena throat issue I dont think it was strep agian but it sure hurt like hell. So anyway my New years was pretty crapy. I didnt get to go out and have fun... I didnt get to do anything but sit here with my kids. Really tho I wouldnt have it any other way.

I made S'mores with the kids and did party poppers. But the boys liked it.

Here they are with daddy

I do exist!

mmmmmmmmmmmm Scott was most pleased

WOOOHOOOO Party.. thats what my Scotty said LOL

Then it was off tobed... It was 10pm HA they were none the wiser...so at the actual stroke of 12 I was on the sofa

2008-12-04T12:57:00.000-08:00

I swear time goes so fast. I wish I could say I was doing lots of pages but Ive been sick. :( I got sick the day after Thanksgiving and hoped it would go away but it became strep throat. I was so so tired. Im happy to say Im getting better. Well enough to change my blog from Thanksgiving to Christmas. I need to really get my butt moving on my Christmas cards. Man a week of being sick sure took up alot of my time. I did get my lights up early. Which was a huge help seeing how Im usually putting them up now while Ive been sick. I love putting up the christmas lights it makes the apt look so festave. I wish we could keep em up all year.I just love the feel of Christmas. I hope Ill get some pages done sometime this month but I dont know I have loads of stuff to do; as do we all.. dont we..

man where does the time go?

2008-11-14T10:53:00.000-08:00

2008-11-01T22:25:00.000-07:00

I hope you had a LOVELY Halloween I know I did. We carved pumpkins and brought home bags of candy how could you NOT love this holiday??
spooky scarecrow I made

Im so proud of my oldest son he did this pumpkin pretty darn good if you ask me

Sweeney Todd

Mrs Lovett

Karyn cooper.. My sister did this one its freekin awesome

The house from the street. Mom and dad get so many complements. They love it

sooo tired he couldnt go on

The days leading up to Halloween are so busy for me. I havent done any scrapping. I have BOUGHT things.
I bought the YUMMY Oh Joy line By Cosmo Cricket. This stuff is so pretty. I just cant wait to dig into it... if I ever get time that is.

Also have you seen the fab Creative Imaginations Tinsel Town collection. It has that yummy vintage feel that I know so many of us love. whats more this line has been printed with soy ink so your scrap pages can go green. I didnt buy all of the pages on this collection seeing how my scrap store didnt have them all in yet. I really really love this line!!! Oh and the die cut paper is form their Mistletoe line.. man they have some fab paper lines out this year

I got three new colors of Glimmer Mist. Forest Green, Mistletoe and Wild Currant... all I can say is WOW they are fab! They are going to go with the above lines so well.

As happy as I am to move on to Holiday papers and pages I have to say I try really really hard not to skip over Thanksgiving. I LOVE that holiday! Its a time to reconnect with family and traditions.

there are not a ton of Thanksgiving papers out there. But dont let that STOP you from making some pages that reflect your family traditions.

Crop till you drop...

2008-10-19T08:35:00.000-07:00

I went to the Oakdale Coyote crop. It was put on by the PTA at the school. 12 Hours of croping fun! Soda, snacks, lunch and dinner included. Great for 30 bucks the way I drink soda. LOL

So for 12 hours I got to spread out on a huge table.. that was nice seeing how I'm used to scraping on my computer desk. So after 12 hours I did 7 pages part of a mini book and a Halloween frame. I forgot my Cosmo cricket chipboard for these so I have to finish them today..

More of my red velvet kit.. I think I can get another page out of it LOL I need to make a embellishment for this one so I can use it in scrap mojo if I'm not too late lol

Scotty's first carved all by himself pumpkin

More from my beloved cosmo cricket line OMG I love haunted but I think I'm about done with it lmao Markie again last year..I left room for journaling but I'm not sure if Ill do that or not

This picture cracks me up! My son loved that kitty to the point of pain. Good thing God made kitties resilient
LOVE hurts is all I could think of for a title..

Life lesson number 95.. I dont know why I picked 95 but I did. I love this one tho It was funny at the time and I still think its funny. That paper is the Cosmo cricket Hello sunshine line; its a really bright line and very happy colors.

More of my redvelvet kit. thats a pic of my mom and her cousins way back when. I had a hard time thinking up a title and I may change this.

Violet.. this was my last page of the night and Im not feelin it. I think I could have done a bit better but Oh well.

so after I finish the other two things Ill post them too.

I got home after all that time and show my husband what I did... know what he says... " Tahts all you did in 12 hours!" He sure dont get it.

Dont you love suprises?

2008-10-13T11:04:00.000-07:00

I finally broke down and bought a red velvet kit a few weeks ago. I really wasn't too thrilled with the papers. Pinks are not my friend lol.. BUT after working with them and making a few pages I'm IN LOVE!! Thank you cousin! she is the one that told me how fun they were.

so here are three pages Ive done with the Oct kit so far..

PROOF that if you try new things you find stuff you like!

I also made a awesome Halloween card for my sister shes a total zombie freak. Used my beloved glimmer mist on this one. Meadow green and Graphite with a little sandy beach.

SO Im slowly getting ready for Halloween.. Im not feeling it so much this year. I dont know why eather. But going to the pumpkin patch with cousin was a huge help.

LOVE me some Cosmo Cricket!

2008-10-11T13:43:00.000-07:00

I know I say it a lot but I LOVE Cosmo cricket papers. I wish I could paper my whole world with them. The haunted line is delightfully dark and I cant get enough of it. The sweet little skeleton they came up with, melts my heart every time I see him.
So Took the kids to the Dell Oso Pumpkin patch and had a total blast! Afterwords My lovely cousin Marie and I went to a local crop Here in Oakdale.
I made this with some of my haunted papers, chipboard and die cuts.

I used some alcohol ink in butter scotch on Making Memories metal frames. Then rubbed my Staz on jet black ink pad to make the pattern pop. BOO in Black glitter Thickers. I had to get that cute skeleton ribbon on there too.

I added some glimmer mist goodness to the super awesome bat that I love

EEK I so Love that product line.

Fall is in the air

2008-10-09T17:40:00.000-07:00

ahhh fall the weather has been so nice the past couple of days. Im really glad too becuse Friday Im going to the pumpkin patch with My cousin and her kids. Its going to be a ton of fun and not too hot woot woot!!!
Ive done a couple of pages the past few days.

this one was a small trip to the pumpkin patch with my sister and the kids. It was for www.pencillines.com sketch 104 but I didnt get it done in time.. such is life. the cute tree paper was from the dollar spot at target also the little sticker embellishments so if you have a Target run out an check them out.

This is a shot that my sister got of Melanie. I love that pic and thank goodness she was in camo and I could use Mr Campy papers hehe. That awesome lace is form a ebay lot I won. I love it

So Friday evening My cousin and I are going to go to a crop here in Oakdale I know its going to be fun as it always is. Its going to be a FULL day but thats fine with me

I had a busy weekend!

2008-09-28T23:14:00.001-07:00

I went to a crop here in Oakdale at the Pamperd Scrapper. Cousin and I had some real fun. Im serious if you are ever in town youve got to go everyone there is super-DEE-duper nice.
so I thought I was gonna work on halloween cards but NOPE! I had NO mojo flowin.

I ran my wood grain paper thru the Dymo seeing how I didnt have any of that awesome wood gran stuff that cousin got.

So I got on a Halloween Kick I mean who couldnt with all those wonderful paper lines out there?

Mojo

2008-09-21T11:28:00.000-07:00

I filled in for the guest mojo girl this time around. I guess something came up and cousin asked if I could come up with somehting quickly.. I did! Im glad I was able to help her and I really like what I came up with. I used my beloved glimmer mist. Black gold and candy apple red.

Whats new?

2008-09-03T07:51:00.000-07:00

Ive been working on ATCs for a swap at SIS. Its skulls and all things spooky. I thought of a great idea to use a Dutch boy paint chip. They have a little square hole in them which is perfect to put a cute bead in here is my prototype...

Ive decided to make the flourishing bats platinum color its a bit more noticeable. Tho I should have THOUGHT about how much work I was putting on myself. I need 26 and that's a whole lotta hand cutting and embossing...
that's the skull stamp I chose OMG I love it! Its by Inkadinkado. The bats are too.

So while Ive been putting off making those ATCs Ive done a few other things. I Did the scrapmojo challenge that was to use a School House rock title.. and glitter OMG who don't love glitter? I of course used glimmer mist! I love this pic of my cousin, sister and I. Its fab!! we were having fun taking self pics.

So I also did a challenge at Dream girls It was to use three diff stamps and wings along with a black n white pic. This what I came up with. I'm shocked at how easy it came together for me it sort of flowed out of my hands on to that paper.

so other than that Ive got some new stamps from Inkadinkado. They are clear stamps and pretty much each pack there was ONE stamp I really wanted. Well I was going to buy the wood mounted of that one. THEN I found these clear stamps that had not only, the one I really wanted, but also others I really liked and the entire set was a buck less than the one wood mounted stamp!! how awesome is that? I'm still waiting on one set that was on back order and of course its the set I really really wanted LOL

So anyway I have to get my butt moving on those ATCs but for now all is right in my scrap world LOL

gotta give some props for my cousin

2008-08-16T09:46:00.001-07:00

My Lovely cousin was scrapjacked!!! Im so happy for her its the most awesome thing to have happend for her!!!
this is my take on her LO

Say hello to my little friend!!!

2008-08-06T08:40:00.000-07:00

this one was for Scrap mojo Use the quote "Say Hello to my little friend" (giggle) and use a book page. Well Ive had these pics for a long time and wanted to use them.. this was perfect. that book page was a old Horticulture text book from college I love that page with the grass on it. And Of course I had to use glimmer mist! Its the meadow green mist yummy!

doodle doodle deeee let it "BE"

2008-08-04T15:14:00.000-07:00

so OLW number 32 the word is BE. this page flowed out of me that felt really nice. I love this paper line from My Little yellow bicycle These papers are so awesome :)
I cant wait to get my hands on their Frightful collection YUMMY!

Is summer over yet??

2008-07-29T12:31:00.000-07:00

AWWW my mommy and daddy. waaaay back when. this picture is one that I had not seen before. my aunt (dads sister) had it and I was able to scan it. I LOVE it. the song when im 64 has always been their song so why not do a page of it?

Ive been sooooo lazy lately. but I have managed to make some pages which is nice.. as always its never quite enough but something is far better than nothing.

lazy days of summer..

2008-07-18T09:53:00.000-07:00

Look at summers bounty. My husband is very proud of his little tomatos. I love the lazy days of summer. You know those days when you shut all the blinds turn out the lights and turn up the AC. Sit and watch tv in a cool dark cave LOL

This is about all Ive done. Man I just cant pump out the layouts like some other people.

some times things just dont work out

2008-06-25T19:15:00.000-07:00

I did this page for Scrap your crap # 21 it was to use 2 DIFFERENT borders on one layout. OOH This page started out with good intentions but sigh... I think I lost the picture to all the extas. I dont know Im not super fond of how this came out.

Anyway this is my 9 you niece Melanie and the Oakdale Chocolate festival this year. It was a really HOT day and we set a record high of 106* It was really aweful. I bought her that pretty parasol and she loved it so much.

wild child

2008-06-19T23:59:00.000-07:00

I did a challenge over at Scrap your Crap. It was to use at least 4 tags. They are there one is metal. This I used cosmo cricket on this OMG I love all the happy colors. I call Mark my "curly haired devil." and this pic proves that he can put on the charm when need be.

Thanks for looking

mojo number 16

2008-06-18T09:59:00.000-07:00

I did this one for Mojo number 16 "its a good thing" I used tons of glimmer mist on this. I used moonlight, peach delight, and graphite. I sprayed the flowers and chipboard with peach delight. I just cant get enough of that glimmer mist. This picutre is the best one I got that sort of shows it. The pics are of my cousin and I in 1978. I love these photos seeing how Im so nuts about Halloween
so any way thanks for looking

Oh the Joy of paper!

2008-05-25T14:13:00.001-07:00

I'm so happy I got the chance to take a class taught by the lovely Nikki Peterson.

It just so happened that Cousin called me up and asked if I could come along.... I just so happened to have the money at the time..... and paid for the class. whee-doggies!!! Did I have fun!!!!
I was a bit nervous at meeting some awesome scrap people IRL. I had the usual "OMG they are all going to hate me" feelings that Im going to

I was SO wrong EVERYONE was super fabulous! I really loved everyone and how super nice they were and how welcome they made me feel.

Here are the awesome pages I did :) I just cant say enough how awesome it was to do this class!!

I want to say thank you to my lovely cousin for taking me along and Now Im so hooked I cant wait to go agian!! EEEKK

I miss you all

2008-05-09T15:48:00.000-07:00

I miss you i miss you I miss you. Yet agian I find myself with out my internet life. Its just been so hard on me, which I feel silly admitting.

My scraping time has sufferd so much, I just cant seem to churn out pages unless I have the internet and all the fun challenges that go with it. That and noone else ever cares really. My internet circle is the only ones who give a flying ratts but about my pages LOL

I have managed to buy myself some more glimmer mist which is my current LOVE! I so wish it would show up on the scan of my page.

My 4th of July page is soo glimmer-iffic its not funny! the colors I used were Saphire and Candy apple red. Yummy! I sprayed the Rusty pickle chipboard with it and was in heaven! I cant wait till my lovely cousin Marie comes over to try it out. Im sure she could do so much more than I can even thik of with it.

my sweet son Scott I love this pic of him! I remember taking it and he was not sitting like that for long! I was very happy the picture was clear too! So any way Ill pop on when I can and post what little Ive done sigh love you all and miss you

I love paper lace

2008-03-28T10:41:00.000-07:00

Man I bought a couple sheets of this lovely paper lace. I had my two bottles of Glimmer mist (check it out here http://www.mytatteredangels.com/) I sprayed the Black cherry on the white paper lace and OMG fell in love with that Glimmer mist. The Graphite color of The mist is so pretty too. I sprayed a little over the top of the Black cherry and OMG its Glimmer-iffic!

If you havent tried it out you really should. It makes a lovely mess.. LOL I had it all over my hands and desk but its water based and came off easy. I now must have all sorts of colors ahh my scrap curse rears its ugly head! Its even more lovely on raw chipboard. Im working on sometihng now that has it on it; will post soon.

Easter is over.

2008-03-24T10:04:00.001-07:00

can I say woohoo? Is that wrong? Im so wore out form all the cooking and cleaning that came along with it. I havent been able to scrap a page in weeks now. I have a couple Ive started but never gotten to finish.

We dyed eggs and had some fun making them all pretty. while dyeing eggs I baked a cake called zesty lemon pound cake. YUM!!! but I was dumb and put pam in the bundt pan but forgot to flour it *sigh* it stuck like a bitch!

My oldest wasnt 'into' dyeing eggs man I hate them to grow up :(

Making Memories Chelsea's place.

2008-02-22T07:46:00.000-08:00

Ive been a shopping fool lately, and I was lucky enough to be at Michaels Crafts the day they put this stuff out! Chelsea's Place by Making memories is so pretty!
The pack is full of green, pink, brown, blue and even some red. Its simply lovely.

BUT the pack thats to DIE for is this one!

The papers are glittered and flocked! One has a postage stamp edge, and then you get one with a scalop edge. You also get a circle and what I call a pointy curvy line LOL Ive opend this and pet it already! THe best thing is when I got it I DIDNT know it was glittered and flocked so when I opened it I was so suprised! Yes I know I should read the lable more often LOL You aslo get 3 of each page so you can share if you really feel upto it.

And now to the rbbon and rubons.. Yes they have them to match I aslo got some paper clip things but theve gotten lost on my desk LOL

So if you get a chance to snap this pack up please do Its lovely!

ahhh nothing better than an arm load of puppies

2008-02-18T09:36:00.000-08:00

This picture makes me miss my camera so badly. :( The scanner cant do anything with some chunk to it. UGH anyway. I went to Michaels crafts and saw some SUPER new stuff: Me and My Big Ideas had out this scrapbook kit called coastal I picked up the calafia kit and the embellishment icons.. Man I miss my camera! I could have pics up for you dang it! So anyway I bought some new goodies and had to make a page! I ran a double crochet stitch around the chipboard circle that came in the kit. I really like the HOMEY feel it gives this LO.

The cute little brad is from Deja views its in the Filigree Jewel Flowers pack sooo lovely. The ribbon is Chelsea's place from Making memories I picked up the paper pack to match that too.. Man I LOVE new stuff

How was your valentines?

2008-02-16T09:05:00.000-08:00

I Made my Hubby this card that matches the Mojo You+me page. He had to work very long hours on the 13, 14 and 15th so I didn't see him. It was 1 am when he got in on Valentines day. He had left the morning before at 3 am. :( so I made that card and put it in his lunch box. The 15th marked my anniversary and he was gone all day too. I had planed on a lovely chicken dinner with pasta salad and sourdough bread and pink champagne but my love didn't get home un till nearly midnight.

I went shopping and DIDNOT buy supplies GASP you say? well I really needed a new shirt and some capris. I got some really cute capris at ross. The entire time shopping I was thinking That could have been some yummy paper...LOL

I did get some killer eyeliner OMG its to die for! Its called Black Magic and its made my milani. OH man. Once my camera is out of the shop Ill show you all how yummy it is. I have yet to find a pic on line that does it justice.

Well I hope to be busting my butt on some pages soon seeing how I have may almost done pages laying around

You + me = LOVE

2008-02-06T15:20:00.000-08:00

well, My lovely cousin and her Mojo gals did it agian. I love the challenge this time around. This challenge was to do a love equation This one was so fun. I also got to use my new stamp the good for one kiss and some cute littie ticket alphas I found...

Mojo challenge number 7

2008-01-27T12:08:00.000-08:00

"Use trash on your layout. Something that maybe looks really neat but is meant to go to the trash heap."

Well I thought long and hard for this one. I had some paints that had long since dried up.. I put water in the bottle and shook hard! I then took the plastic wraping from some chipboard alphas I had gotten I used a large mouth snapple bottle to make rings on the plastic in black. I used a Nail I found on a walk to make small dots with the green paint. I had made my own transparancy can I get a "whoop whoop" LOL

SO stuck it all donw to some chipboard thats used to stiffen a paper pack got out my stapler finished the second part of the challenge to use a stapler some place.

some pages to share today

2008-01-18T07:55:00.000-08:00

Ive got a few pages "OMG you've been working!" you say? yeah thats right Ive been trying really hard to do some pages. I went to Weight watchers and need something to take my mind off of eating LMAO

SO my first page is my beloved Son David :) ahh hes getting so big. I used my 3 scrappy boys kit Im thinking it was Novembers kit.
The journialing reads: My son that can always make me laugh no matter how mad I am.
Its so true too. The day I took that pic he had gotten suspended from school. We were laughing about it because he was defending himself agianst a kid half his size. He said "gee Mom I didnt hit him that hard. BUt what am I going to do let him bite my ankles?"
I know I sholdnt encourage it but he shold NOT have to be hit no matter how small the kid doing the hitting is.

The next page is of my little sisters Baby shower. Our family always makes a hat out of all the bows and then you have to wear it. ITs tradition you cant break that!
I didnt scan this one because the scaner really sucks when it comes to 3D stuff...
so Thanks for looking and come back soon for more :)

woo hoo Im back!

2008-01-08T16:40:00.000-08:00

Ok I got my internet back and BOY am I happy! I did the Mojo challenge and man is this something so ME. I never keep a resolution sooo Ive decided not to make them any more. HAHA

I also did another page while I was in the mood.

Sigh some times your life takes a turn you dont really want to deal with. No, no its nothing too bad just money issues. We cant seem to get caught up on bills! our internet and cable tv is off also our cell phones. Our cell phones are the only phones we have. SIGH it sucks when life takes a turn like this. BUT I try my best not to let it get me down.

Its the Holidays!! Ive decked out my apartment with TONS of lights. Ive also been trying really hard to keep in the spirit. Im over at a friends right now and thought Id pop on to show you all a few pictures of my kids at a holiday party we went to.

That pic of my husband and two of my three boys is a lovely one. I caught a reflection that is just lovely. Im going to crop it and get it enlarged.
My oldest boy with his antlers and nose on was really mad I got that picture! He is at that age.. He dont want his pic taken at all. THEN that I got that kind of pic he was not a happy camper! ahh I love a good zoom lense! Scott was sporting his new hair cut and the shirt he picked out for the party. Markie was in a little Tux I found at a thrift store for 8 bucks!! OMG I love it. I think thats the best 8 bucks Ive spent in a ling time.

The Christmas tree was a BIG hit with the kids. As you can tell I do love to take pictures!
I cant wait to get some new pics printed so I can do a few pages. I really want to do this months Mojo challenge :)

2007-09-18T17:32:00.000-07:00

Ive had this picture for over a year and LOVE it so much. Its my middle boy Scott and my moms Dog Violet. She always liked him ever since day one. Im not thrilled about the title banner I was going to move it down a bit lower but the paper started to tear.. UGH I always want to change something once its already stuck down.

Halloween is comming!!

2007-09-10T14:52:00.000-07:00

I love Halloween. I Love the fall weather, the Orange, red and brown leaves. I love being able to have a fire in the fireplace. So in July I start longing for those lovely fall temps. I scavange the thrift sores for fall stuff. I start to make fall pages and projects. So Ill post my latest!

This is a little candle I tried out. I got a vintage postcard off the net and printed it on vellum. Wraped it around a baby food jar and TA-DA a cute candle.

Here we my Cosmo Cricket Halfway Cafe paper line Halloween box. Im so happy I found the cute little paper for the cut out faces. I was at a loss for what to put on the sides. Im happy. wooohooo.

Here it is open..

Un pubbed challenge

LOL now thats some funny stuff!

Well POOP now what?

2007-08-26T18:41:00.000-07:00

Well shoot! My youngest one is mobile now. He can crawl, He is a bit slow at it right now but he gets the consept and it wont be long before hes too fast to divert form my scrap stuff. HOW OH HOW will I scrap now? I dont have a "scrap space" persay I just plop my bottom on the floor in front of the TV and scrap. some of my stuff is in little piles by the TV. Its only a matter of time before Mark gets it in his head that he NEEDS to get mommys toys. :( If I have to ut my stuff away Ill never make pages. NO not really NEVER but at least untill this ones like 2 and I can yell "NO touchey mommys stuff." Which anyone with kids KNOWS doesnt really work anyway and you end up having to get up off your butt and pry a ink pad out of their grip. Its alos always like the Red or Black ink pad Never the light blue or pale pink. My second son got a Pumpkin Orange ink pad at about a year and two months the HUGE stain is still on my carpet as a reminder that a 14 month old is far faster than my butt.

SIGH so if I produce no pages this is the reason.

Swim.

2007-08-23T16:50:00.001-07:00

Please wear sunscreen! Please Please Please Remember to reapply! This is my husbands leg 3 days AFTER he got his sunburn at the football Round robbin. Can we say OUCH!

Im a proud mommy!

2007-08-19T18:31:00.000-07:00

This past Saturday we took my oldest son to his first set of games for Football. It was called a round robbin where all the teams get to gether and play each other for 30 min. at a time. Man this opens up all sorts of scrapbooking things for me LOL. so here he is my Big boy David on the field. I highlighted him so that way others could know who he was. The Practice Jerseys dont have their numbers or names on them.. Tho after the games we went to get his number and name put on his jersey. I was having a hard time picking him out for photo ops!

D is for daddy

2007-08-17T14:35:00.000-07:00

D just had to be for Daddy. I have so many pictures of my hubby sleeping with the kids like this. Its always so sweet when I see it I cant help but to take a picture of them.

A is for Angel

2007-08-16T15:05:00.001-07:00

Page one of my son's ABC book. Im not thrilled with my writing on this one but oh well. I used about 4 strips of paper and finally said "to heck with it!" This is one of my most fave pictures of Markie. He was something like 3 months old. Man they grow up too fast!

B is for brothers

2007-08-15T14:21:00.000-07:00

Ok hare is my B page for the ABC book. These 6x12's are so super easy I may be able to finish something for once. (knock on wood) I don't wanna give myself some bad ju-ju by saying that, ya know... BUT I have done 2 pages (well half pages) in two days! I broke open my Crate paper cowboy collection papers for these pages so far. They are pretty nice papers for what I'm using it for.. The pack came with a die-cut alpha sheet also. It just made it too easy. I don't know what Ill do when I run out of the Crate paper but I guess Ill cross that bridge when I get there. ;)

C is for Cookie

2007-08-14T17:06:00.000-07:00

Ok Im in LOVE with 6x12 ever since I did that scrap jack.

I got a thought in my head to make an ABC book of my youngest sons first year. Im a goof and started with 'C'. But I had the pics printed that I wanted to use. The scan on this is all wrong The white is supposed to be a light blue. UGH Ill never get the hang of this scanner!

look at this

2007-08-13T12:32:00.000-07:00

Clean the house or Scrap?

2007-08-13T12:22:00.000-07:00

SIGH I wish I had a maid! I hate that I want to scrap but need to clean my house. Its not very fair to have to clean.. Yes Im a whiner! Thats O.K. I can do that its my world after all. If I ever get the living room clean Ill work on a page. I need to work on something. Im such a slacker. I was out shopping all weekend and only got some clear stamps. The rest of the time was spent school shopping for my Oldest son! Man I could have had myself a Cricut for what I spent on his stuff!

Ok done whining. I swore to myself that I would keep this blog up NOT letting it sit and rot in some strange place on the net. so here ya go...

I did a scrapjack..

2007-08-06T17:04:00.000-07:00

This is the first time Ive ever done a Scrapjack, and the first time Ive ever done a 6x12.. I used the Cosmo cricket Halfway cafe papers. Man I LOVE those papers! Thanks for checking it out :)
