Scrapping Frenzy....

 ...thats what I went on!!! After not scrapping anything for so long, I managed to get about 5 layouts and a couple cards , annnd a cardholder set done!! Woohoo, did it ever feel good to play with all my goodies again!
 Most of these pages are for challenges at pagesintimestoresite.ning.com and sb.com, Tfl!!!

 This page here is ALL doodled, everything, including the background paper...once I started, I just kept on doodling, and adding more, this is my finished page! Love the way the background turned out, way better irl!!! It was all done with a white pen and stickles! Tfl!

 The page with the yellow flowers was all made from scraps, and for the use your scraps challenge at sb.com  The 'hanging out' page is for the sketch challenge over at Let's Scrap. Tfl!!


Hello out there my scrappy friends! I thought I would share with you a couple cards I made. They are for the card challenges over at sb.com.

It's a nice change from doing layouts all the time! Tfl!

QOTW-PIT

Hi there again!! I wanted to share something else with you, and that is...It's my week for greetings and birthdays as part of the design team over at http://pagesintimestoresite.ning.com ,  and also we are to choose a QOTW (question of the week). My question for this week is...What die-cut machine do you use (or have you used), what are your likes and dislikes about it!

I am on the hunt for a new one for myself and could really use some feedback on this! I really don't want to spend a lot of money, as I try to keep my scrappy spending down to a minimum! (which is sometimes really hard...lol) Anywhooo, maybe if I give you a bit of info on what my style is, you can better help me with my choice! I love to make a lot of my own embellies, such as flowers etc. I do love some of the die-cut flowers out there, and would also LOVE to save some money on letters and such! If I can cut out my own, then I wouldn't have to constantly be buying more for my titles and journaling! I really like to put journaling on my pages, sometimes a lot of it ;) Maybe I would be better off just buying some punches and stamps, what do you think? I appreciate all feedback, as it ALL will help me decide! Thanks so much in advance!

Niagara Falls

Hello scrappy friends! I just wanted to share with you my take on the weekly sketch over at http://pagesintimestoresite.ning.com/forum You should hop on over and check out all the fun and exciting things going on , such as weekly sketches, monthly challenges (with prizes), a monthly kit club (which are sooo awesome), just to mention a few!

Crazy Storm!!!

Hello my friends. Hope you are all having a great day so far!
We had one crazy storm last night, and as far as I know at this point, no one I know was harmed! Crazy wind and heavy rain. Tornadoes touching down, golf ball sized hail in places, BIG trees toppling over...you get the picture, right! Yeah...crazy!!!!
All that kept going through my head is omg, what happens if a tornado touches down in my town...imagine all my scrappy goodies flying all over town :( Not a good thought!) I truly was scared out of my mind! Like white knuckles just holding on to my seat...yes I was out in the car at the time!! 8/
I'm kidding... that was not the only thought going through my mind, I was praying for safety to all my family and friends here at home first, then the thought of my scrappy goodies blowing around town! ;)
Anyways we are all safe and today the sun is shining! Praying that all my scrappy friends where the storm is headed stay safe too! Batten down the hatches!!!!!

I am trying to upload the weekly sketch from Pages In Time, but am having trouble doing it. I will keep trying for you all to get a chance at participating in it, such an awesome sketch. Here is the link for the site just in case it will not work ... http://pagesintimestoresite.ning.com/ Just head to the forum and click on sketches! Have an awesome day!!

Interactive Blog Hop-June 30th

Hi my scrappy friends! I have some very exciting news to tell you about...
we are having an interactive blog hop starting on June 30th at http://pagesintimestoresite.ning.com/ It is going to be so much fun! I sure hope you all get a chance to stop in and join in on that fun! It is called 'interactive' because we will be making a layout along the way, each DT member will have a different step(technique) to add to your layout, so everyone's layout will be totally different, yet at the same time we are all doing the same steps! It will all start with a sketch from Karen's blog, and then we will proceed through the rest of the teams blogs to collect all other steps(techniques). There will be a big prize of awesome goodies for the winner, and also some individual prizes from each blog member! Hope to see you all there, we are going to have fun, fun, fun!!!!!

Weekly thursday sketch-PIT

Here is this week's sketch over at http://pagesintimestoresite.ning.com/forum/topics/thursday-sketch-609-615...hope you stop over for some inspiration!!!!

Tutorial on Cardholder

step 4- fold from point up to center of page...only time you need to use adhesive is here at this point
step 3 bring each bottom corner up to center of page so they meet in the middle
step 2 fold it in half
step 1...start with a heavyweight piece of 12 x 12 cardstock (preferably double-sided)
step 5- add ribbon with eyelets for closure...holds 4-4"x5" cards and envelopes. Probably 6 cards without too many embellishments! :)

Any questions please feel free to ask. If you decide to make one, please let me know and send me a link so I can have a look...have fun!!!

More Cardholder Sets




Hi my scrappy friends...its been a little bit. Between working and being addicted to making these cardholder sets, I haven't really been doing too much else...lol! I will be setting up a table for an event here in the town I live in. So I will be doing a lot more of these....hope you all don't get bored with them! I will be making some christmas ones too...just have to get me some new christmas papers first. I find it hard to do christmas stuff in june, maybe a new pack of papers will help with that ;)
Take care, and come back soon!
