Do I Scrap It?

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Oh. My. Word! Can you imagine if you found this in a corner of your home? *giggle* I just had to share. Before there is one single question, it is not my house, it is not my spider infestation but DID YOU SEE THE SIZE OF THAT MAMA? OMG!!!!!

Paper Sampler vs. Color Wheel

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

I see it asked a lot what the difference is in these two supply products, so I thought I would post a photograph of the two consultant items so that there would be no confusion. I explained a bit more below.

The color wheel is a small square sample of all our CTMH cardstock. The pieces [...]

The Layouts I Promised…

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

I know I’ve been promising them for awhile now. Here they finally are. These were done a couple of weeks ago, I need to show off some of the recent stuff I’ve been doing, and I will get to that. I promise. Sorry for the pictures and not scans. One of these days I’ll set [...]

Am I Ever Getting Caught Up With Scrapbooking?

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

I am perfectly aware that as long as I am scrapbooker and take the amount of photographs that I take, there actually won’t be any “getting caught up”. I am totally fine with that.
I was thinking last night though, there are so many events in the past I still haven’t scrapbooked and really want to. [...]

A Plethora of Valentine’s

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

I am warning you. Never offer to help four children create Valentine’s using your Cuttlebug and your stamps. Actually the stamps weren’t so bad. The cuttlebug - which I absolutely adore btw, was a nightmare. Do you know how many pieces of paper and how many little dies I had to shove through that thing [...]

Am I a Horrible Ex-Friend? Advice Please.

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

Alright here is the situation. I had a Toxic Friend.
I knew her for a very long time. We have been friends for just as long. I have dozens of photographs over the year that she mailed me of her, hubby and her kids and then I moved closer and we saw each other a lot. [...]

Friendship Card

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

I am going to my friend and neighbor’s house tonight for an Upper Case Living party. She sells the stuff and I am totally fascinated. Being that she’s one of my best gal pal’s, she is giving me some smaller samples to bring home and use on my layouts. I’m sure they will be fun!
Since [...]

Card Making Tip #3 - Save ALL Scraps

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

A couple of weeks ago I was getting annoyed at all the tiny scraps that were piling up. What usually happens is that I have a scrapbooking layout I am working on with all the pieces and these are the leftovers. The remnants of a finished layout. Since everything already coordinates, what I do now [...]

I’m Scrappin’ But I’m Frustrated!

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

I am actually getting some scrapbooking done. It feels great to get some pages done that have been sitting forever. Actually, I am redoing a bunch of 8.5×11’s I did like seven years ago. The pics are from 1998. I hate it because back then we cut shapes out of our pictures. That was the [...]
