vintage journal

Here's a quick altered composition book that I made for a co-worker for Christmas. I love how it turned out. I inked and stamped some of the pages. I also added some scripture vellum through out the pages and made a pocket on the inside cover. I almost want to keep it! :)

My Mojo is flowing!!

This was the 1st Sketch Challenge.

 I got a good bit accomplished this week while off on vacation!

I'm so excited! They are having an awesome crop in Dilly Land. It's a wonderful way to get my mojo going. I hope to get a good bit more completed tonight and tomorrow.

This was the "bad picture challenge". Haley had her eyes closed in this one.

This was the "family picture challenge". Now I've got to buy more scrapbooks because I have no albums for all these layouts to go in. Oh well.. just another excuse to buy more stuff...haha!

My scrap mess and a card

 My desk right now! I've been creating. I need a new, bigger desk. Any suggestions? My room is small so keep that in mind! I was thinking a table with "matching material". Actually the more I think about that idea, the more I like love it!

A cute little card for Cathy. Hopefully she will not see this card until tomorrow. It's a mini from stampin up. I'm loving this folded paper with stitching technique.



Mini envie stamped with Michael's $1.00 stamps...

Wedding Shower Favors

Made a few party favors for a friend that is getting married in November. I miss being able to play since I've started back to work! I have a lot planned to do starting this Saturday that I want to make and do.

So which candle do you like the best? I can't decide! :) Please leave your vote in the comment section below.

ATC's and Baby Card

I entered my first ever ATC (artist trading cards) swap at outta this funk and I finished those up today. Blog Here, Site Here. I really wanted to use my cricut and cut something to go on the cards but of course the cards are too small for that. 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 So I decided to use some new Michael's $1.oo stamps and a new blender pen from HL that I haven't used yet. A good excuse to play with new stuff right? I'm not 100% happy with the sponging. I didn't have any sponges so I just used the ink pad which didn't work too well. But that's okay. I may end up redoing these just for fun.

This is a pink and brown card that I made Beth for the baby shower. Now that I think of it, I don't remember seeing her open it. I bet it got thrown away accidentally. Her little girl was opening the gifts and throwing away all the paper and I bet it got put in the trash by mistake. I'll have to ask her about that. I really need to invest in more embossing folders. I think I may just do that next pay period. I love the textured look the folders give.

Quick Card

Today before heading home I stopped by the shack and made a quick little birthday card. I also covered a little {Starbucks Chocolate Bar.} I am loving the blues and yellows. They are a cute little color combo for spring.

Today was a busy but fun day. We got up early and headed to McDonald's for breakfast. Then off to Books a Million. I was looking for books or magazines about cameras or photography. I am trying to learn all that I can about my camera. It's my new love right now!!! ;) I was really disappointed with the selections there and walked away with nothing. Clint and the girls bought a book but nothing for me. I was VERY surprised at the "graphics" in some of those books....{if you know what I mean...}

Tomorrow I want to make Easter sugar cookies.... and take the girls to the G Gardens for Easter pics. That should really awesome!!

Has anyone ever taken the Project 365 challenge? It sounds really fun but really challenging. I am seriously thinking of doing it.

Sleep tight

I wished blogger had more fun fonts.

Post it Note Holders

As you know we've been blessed with much needed rain recently here in Georgia!! So Saturday because I still was not over my cold I stayed inside and spent some well deserved time in my scrapbook room! I was supposed to be over at my step mom's scrapping away with the gals but I decided not to go because I really didn't need to infect anyone else. And I really just needed to rest!!

I found this really awesome blog that I LOOOOOOOVE!! She is sells Stampin Up! She also makes these adorable little post it note holders. Check it out here... and here...

So I looked around on Etsy and found some chipboard coasters and made some too!! I will take these to a local shop here in town along with my cards and a few other goodies for her to sell. I have temporarily closed my Etsy shop until I get the time to rebuild my inventory. Right now because I have started back to work full time, I just do not have the time to scrap and keep up the demands of an online store. I plan to have a re-grand opening sometime in the near future.

Have a great week!!

Congratulations Travis and Angela!! It's a baby boy!!!

Angela, are you coming next weekend for the shower?? PLEASE!!! We're all dying to see the baby!!! :) If not we're coming up soooooon!!! lol
