Blogging break was much needed

Card for a Dear Friend

2011-04-25T21:53:00.000-07:00

I just love this Garden Party line from Imaginisce that I won. I made this for a dear friend who is at the last of her 40's year. . I used a rectangle card then decided to use my spellbinder to cut the inside to make it look like

A planter so here is my imaginary version of it. I had a blast with my I-rock and my I-bond that was a life saver with flowers. (I love these new tools in my scrap collection) The butterflies are punched out of garden party and a Martha Stewart punch I love the itty bitty ones. I punched the flowers , punched and cut the rollies.I wish I could have used the I-top for the center of the pinwheel,bjut next time. I just couldn't do this in one sitting things have been crazy, I had to get it done so I can mail it she would like this more than a bouquet of flowers.

Blogging Break Over... My word of 2011 using Cherish Imaginisce Garden Party

2011-02-24T22:27:00.000-08:00

My word for 2011 is "Cherish" so I made this decoration of DH, DD and me it's one of my favorites of us. We took this in 2007 it was a birthday gift to do the family shoot. I had a lot of fun doing this something I usually don't do... recycling but this just was screaming for it I wanted to do something out of my norm and Imaginisce gave me that kick I needed with their Garden party line it was perfect for this. I used their flowers, I-rock too, paperline, Gluearts adhesive see below variety . So enough rambing. I will show you the final project then a few steps I used to get there. Here is the inspiration for the project!

Here is my final project and below are the steps I used to get there!

I was making Salsa and saved the can. I don't know what made me think I was gonna make this project but the wheels were turning with it.

Cut the can opening to the size you wish your opening to be depending what you want to view. So in this case enough for my photo

I filled this with Sand and put acrylic behind the photo but had forgotten and didn't take a photo when I did it.

I saved the lid to use as the candle stand filled with marbles below

Well I was surely glad to get this project done and a new decore for spring it's been cold and just waiting for the arrival of Spring and this is perfect for that occasion. This was really fun and out of my box. Sorry that I didn't get the photo with the acrylic sheet but it was late and I was trying to make sure that I got it finished so I emptied sand and cut the acrylic and just went on good thing I took photos in the beginning I knew it was going to quick and Dh told me you need something so the sand doesn't come out front. Smart man that's what happened... Exactly So I'm glad that I got this done I had been working on a project and now that album is done.. So now on to my list of other things that I want to do one at a time.

Thanks for looking and hopefully this will get me back into blogging again. I just have been busy with work first month end , quarter end, year end and now another month end whew.! So I will have some time soon to do some more things for sun. I surely have missed my paper, glue and trimmer!

Products used, Imaginisce Garden Party line, Handmade flowers out of garden party line, flowers in Imaginisce line, brads from imaginisce,Die cut sticker word from Imaginisce garden party line. Irock and gems from Imaginisce, Punch EK success, Martha Stewart punch.Adhesives were Hot glue glue arts, Glue arts pro, Glue arts adhesive squares(sticky awesome). Glue arts Extreme Tac as well. Marbles were in my stash, Sand home depot, Empty can from cooking.

Recycle is not the norm for me but I find myself looking at everying can I use this crazy I tell ya.

GRATEFUL FOR THE SCRAPPY WORLD

2010-11-24T11:27:00.000-08:00

Grateful for so many things but today is about Scrappy world.....
I just wanted to take the time to say Thanks to all the people that keep up blogs with tutorials, video's , how to's ,sketches,contests, Fun , Designing, Scrappy cards and layouts.

I am so grateful to have so many friends that I have met via the internet some even in real life. It's touched my life in so many ways.. I even met a gal that we are good friends via the internet and we share the same birthday we are best of friends even have some of those that I don't share the same birthday but if you need them at a drop of a hat they will offer to do whatever it is. Most Scrappy girls are true gems.

My Best BFF doesn't blog and she can't be replaced. She doesn't scrap that's ok we use to craft together but it's just not her thing as time grew, but she does love crafty things she has friends who make aprons, other scrappy gals but as I said she just doesn't do it. She has a beautiful Emma sewing machine and some day I think upon retirement she will do it we both talk about quilting someday and I do hope that happens but right now I don't even know how to sew I hope to learn sometime.. So many cute things that's for sure.. Just the other day I seen a cute wallet I would love to have in Coffee Material ahhh but alas I don't sew lol....

You know there is a lot of work that goes into Video's, hops, tutorials, design team... I have been on both sides of the coin. I appreciate each and Everyone of the designers that take their time to share their love of the craft to us. I don't think they get enough recongition for what they do. Yes they are compensated with product from manufacturers sometimes with product , but some people do it without the compensation.
Even the people getting compensated doesn't mean it's for all the work they do it's for the love of the craft not so much how much they get. It takes time to color with copics, think of an idea, do a schedule post, photograph the product , They do it for the love which I am grateful for.

So this is just a big thank you especially this season I have notice so much generousity on blogs , giveaways, people who pay it forward to less fortunate them themselves they don't keep it they give it to a friend who simply would love it but can't afford it. I tell you I am very sentimental about this because I have so many friends that are designers and I see what they do and how hard they work and I just want to say how much
I appreciate each and everyone who keeps a blog, posts, designs and shares..

Happy Thanksgiving to you all and Thanks for all you do in the Scrappy World.

Always Do Your Best, and Your Dreams Will Come True

*****by Collin McCarty******

It's not always easy to know

which path to follow,

which decision to make,

or what to do.

Life is a series of new horizons,

new hopes, new days, and changes

that come to you.

And we wll need some help with these things

from time to time.

Remember these things: Dream it. Do it.

And discover how special you are

Be Positive, for your attitude

will affect the outcome of many things

Ask for help when you need it;

seek the wisdom the world holds

and hold on to it.

Make some progress every single day

Begin. Believe. And become

Give yourself all the credit you're due

don't shortchange your qualities, your abilities,

or any of the things that are s unique about you

Remember how precious ife can be.

Imagine. Invest the time it takes

to rech out for your dreams;

it will bring you happiness that no

money on earth can buy.

Don't be afraid; no mountain is to big to climb

if you do it at your own pace.

What's the best thing to do?

That's simple:

Do your best

And everything else will fall into place

Mommie's Little one

2010-09-21T05:08:00.000-07:00

You know life always has something new for us in store but kids always bring the best of us. I know that my life is complete with this wonderful child.
She is just beyond description. I thank god each and everyday he blessed me with her. She is gonna fight that fight and be that someone she wants to be.
I really hope she can fulfill all those dreams she has.
She brought my dreams it's hard to beleive another birthday is around the corner and she celebrates thems all month long so we need to be prepared.
Lol.. With all the health problems lately I just am grateful at this point that we've been as blessed as we were with everything. Times change and well our focus sometimes isn't where we thought it would be and goes in another direction. All I know is that love will keep us together.!

Still Daddy's little girl

2010-09-17T05:02:00.000-07:00

Daddy's little girl isn't so little. I laugh because we know when she says Dad it's just conversation but when the phone rings and she says Daddy it means she needs something. This girl has brought so much joy to our lives each day I am so grateful for her as my husband. She can be trying and not the perfect angel but I know that , she knows that and Daddy knows that. Dad will do whatever he can anytime for her and she knows that. They have a very unique bond. We all worry for each other..

The Dream

2010-09-15T05:50:00.000-07:00

The Dream

by leanne herrera

dare to dream for tomorrow

i hear it in the wind

it beckons me to follow

like a cool breeze on a hot day

hope is a big word

it is what i long for each day

it means new beginnings

it means a new way

they say that there are 2 roads

i believe that there are more

one that is hard

one that is to good to be true

one with laughter

one with fear

i believe that at one point or another they cross

it is our job to find the right path

that is our hope

to find the right one

one that heals

but there are no truly easy paths

i know this it is a lesson that i have learned

i hold in my hand this dream

the dream of tomorrow

the hope for today

a smile to brighten my way

a hug to make me feel safe

a comforting voice

to soothe my fears

and i know i am ok i can press on

it will all right

i have found the road of strength

it carries me

it carries to the dream of tomorrow

How time flies

2010-09-12T05:01:00.000-07:00

I just can't believe how time flies. In just a couple months my sweet little baby girl will have another birthday it's just so hard to imagine when I still remember vividly the day she was brought in to the world... I'll tell you she makes me so proud to call her my babygirl. I hate that she is 400 miles away and I cannot just hug her I miss not being able to take care of her not that she can't take care of herself. She is doing so well. She has such great worth ethic and trying really hard in school. She will make it I know she will. I love this girl so so so much

Wow another Bravegirls post

2010-09-09T10:58:00.000-07:00

I get plenty of email as it is so I usually don't sign up for things but I was so intrigued at CHA at seeing Melody Ross and everything else then I seen a post of facebook as I said I know signed up for email
and let me tell you I'm so glad I did ..

Text version of today's message...for easy copy/pasting:
they even made it so that you could copy and paste and spread the word.
All you need to do is go the their blog
BRAVEGIRLS TO THE RIGHT is a little birdie told me and the messages go to your mail box they have been very inspiring for me.

I almost feel as if she somehow knows exactly what the hec is going on with me at this time I know call me crazy and I won't post any of the messages you need to sign up for them to come to your email box.
I am truly inspired and beleive me it's made a difference in my decesion and life at the moment!

Dear Courageous Girl,

One of the paradoxes of life is that sometimes the very best decisions have the most difficult consequences. And sometimes what is best is not what we want most. And sometimes when we want to feel peace, we have to do something that feels painful first. Sometimes we have to do such hard things, and there's absolutely no other way.

You can do it, though. You know what is the right thing to do...you know for sure in your gut, and deep in your heart, and a million signs have led you to what you are supposed to do. It still feels so scary, so difficult, and so impossible, even for a very brave girl.

Just know that most of the best things in life come after making the most difficult choices, and doing the hardest things, and taking the biggest risks.

You really can do this....and miracles are going to happen when you do.

I just am so happy I signed up I know we all get lots of emails but to me this one is worth the mail in my inbox each day lately I haven't been to much on check things but I'll tell you when I read this I feel like
I'm gonna make it.

Wow the power of Bravegirls if you haven't signed up

2010-09-08T16:55:00.000-07:00

I have to say I was intrigued on facebook on a post and it led me to the bravegirls blog
I signed up for the daily inspiration that comes to your email box well only to open and find this
I have to say oh boy is this the most fitting.
Text version of today's message...for easy copy/pasting:
I like they have the copy and paste so you can pass and have people
If you are intrigued sign up at a littlebirdtold me it's to the right of the site and says sign up
you will receive these messages in your in box..

Dear Weary Girl,

You are tired today, aren't you? You are tired of holding up the whole wide world, tired of being so darn tough, tired of being tested in every which way....tired of passing the tests, only to be given another one.

It's ok for you to have days like this, you know. IT REALLY IS OK. YOU ARE OK. LIFE IS OK. And.....everything is going to turn out OK.

Everything is going to be ok, dear girl, It really is. You are going to make it. Please get some rest, take care of yourself, and keep your spirits

up. Keep your eyes on the end goal, and try your hardest to be patient with life's lessons. You are so wise. Remember that good people have bad days

sometimes. Smart people do dumb things sometimes. Bad things happen to good people sometimes. And still, everything is going to be ok.

Breathe in, breathe out....take a hot bath, listen to your favorite music...and TRUST. And then keep trusting.

It's gonna work out.

Thankful

2010-09-08T10:49:00.001-07:00

Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.

If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know everything,

for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.

During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations,

because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge

because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes.

They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary,

because it means you've made a difference.

Welcome!

Happy Saturday to you all...

Here is the wonderful Delovely papers from Cosmo Cricket this line is so bright and beautiful.

I purchased the kit at Thoughts2paper I have only two out of 12 sets left.

The ribbon was custom made by one of my great Scrappy Friends she made them to match

all the beautiful papers in this kit I have cherished every inch of this ribbon. This was a new

type card for me. My friend Eva the Queen Cardmaker challenged me to make this card.

She made one with Lala land crafts stamps and it was so stinking cute I had to give it a try

was not as bad as I thought better than the easel that I had trouble with lol. Well Happy

Saturday and come play with us at Unscripted Sketches

My Minds Eye Challenge #13 with Meadowlark

2010-07-22T20:12:00.000-07:00

I had a great time working with these gorgeous papers from My Minds Eye this is the Meadowlark line. I have been waiting for ther right opportunity to crack into these papers. This is a photo of my niece and her boyfriend at a Sadie Hawkins dance. The layout was based off a Sketch and Challenge 13 Hope

is the Title of this and underneath the circle is thejournaling for Hope in their future. All the butterflies are fussy cut it was a lot of work I don't have of all things a small butterfly punch which would have made it so simple. The gymp trim is such a perfect pink for this along with the Zva Lt pink pearls bling. The flower on the bird cirlce was a first for me and was fun. I traced and cut the leaves I spent a ton of time on doing these little details because I want these layouts to be perfect in her book.

Friendship in Full bloom

Jenn, Me and Del
Sedona Retreat
This paper is not something I normally would work with as a matter of fact it's very hippy 70's for me but I ended up loving it I fussy cut the side bar and put ranger clear accents on it and add Helmar demensionals to lift it to page simply but the photo is a great one of us. Had such a wonderful time and these ladies are the bestest of friends to me. Just love them to death. Looking forward to another beautiful retreat up there in the near future.

Here is one of my favorite projects I've done. I absolutely think this Helen Grace paper had to be my favorite of all time. My Daughter was so happy with it she puts it out each year

My Sweet baby girl still counts the days till it's that special day. I made two of these calendars one for her and one for me. It was simple project. It's a $1.00 frame mod podged the paper to it, used thickers,sticker numbers, cut the trees out with my cricut. Decorated a small metal clip and you have a Countdown Calendar.

Traditions and change as we all know involves a lot of hard work.

Are you a creature of habbit or do you change up the Holidays?

For many years we did the same thing year after year after year. Then My Mother in Law passed it changed instantly overnite. Change wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and we are having fun changing things up.

We use to go on Christmas Eve to her house for a lovely dinner , gifts and Elephant exchange. Christmas day then was spend at my brothers with everything again two long days full of family and way to many presents.

I often sit back and think about all of the things I wish I were doing more of or better those become my resolutions do I ever get to thru the whole list. No Not once but the intention is there.

Do you stick to your resolutions?

Have you ever finished your list.?

Do you make them or buy them.?

Make your life easy here is a suggestion Play with unscripted each week and you will have 52 cards at the end of the year this is one way. Click here we would love to see you play if you don't need that many then set your sites for every other week. It's really a great way to stay on the ball and by the time it comes they are all done.

Each and every year I make a album for someone for Christmas and a recipe book for someone.

Thinking about making an album for someone as a gift.?

Come play each week with Unscripted Sketches use the sketch for a recipe book you will be amazed at how much can get done.

I love being a part of this team has really got me hooked on sketches.. You to can become addicted

I start this month thinking, writing and start working on what I'm making for people otherwise it won't get done.

Well thanks for visiting I enjoy each and everyone that takes the time to stop by.

Scotch® ATG Applicators quickly and neatly apply Scotch® and 3M™ branded adhesive transfer tapes. A touch of the trigger releases the adhesive and liner for quick, controlled application of tape. No mess or clean-up. Saves time and effort. Applies adhesive transfer tape while simultaneously removing and rewinding the liner. The liner is captured on a secondary spool, leaving only the adhesive on the surface.

3M will donate a portion of the proceeds to Susan G Komen Foundation.

Please note! This is the same size as the ATG714 and will hold all .25" tape designed for ATG use.

The new Scotch(R) Advanced Tape Glider (pink) is similar to the Scotch(R)

ATG 714 Adhesive Applicator are very similar. The main difference between

the two is that the pink tape glider is designed for consumer use where the

red ATG 714 is designed for industrial use that can withstand extreme use

and wear and tear on the product.
AND IT WILL ONLY BE $26.99

REFILLS WILL BE AVIALBE FOR 9.99 IN A TWIN PACK

It's been a while since I've done a two pager and I did a couple of them at this sitting but glad it helped me finish up.

Happy Mother's Day .. To All

2010-05-09T00:15:00.000-07:00

Here is a card I created to celebrate the day. I took a class
from Eva Click her name and it will take you to her blog where she has this fun ribbon she did today . We made four cards in the class and I had enough for 3 more cards a treat box It was a very generous kit we worked with . If you have the chance to take a class from her I highly recommend it.
I just love this Prima line we use.
The ribbon is a hot pink but looks red I took 20 shots but couldn't get it I'm a little tired so imagine it close to the color of the roses. I made the rose flower out of an old book sprayed with Tattered angels and a bit of Rock Candy Stickles I love love the prima crystal and yes I still have some left they went a long way.
We will be carrying some prima crystals at Thoughts2paper in the embellishment section we are loading the store daily with items We will also have tattered angels in there that was use.
Ribbons trims and you name it to many to list.
I hope Whatever you do it's joyous Enjoy your families and
Happy Mother's Day to all

This card will be going to my Mama with a starbucks gift card I didn't take a picture of the inside but I made a pocket for the gift card as well.

Anyone is lucky to have this girl as their friend she will give the shirt off her back to you if you need it. She never asks for anything in return just for you to be true to her as a loyal friend. She is one of the most universally like women I know. She has been taken advantage of in the past but yet still gives that shirt off her back and doesn't let it bother her. She's quiet but go ahead and just make her mad and she will ROAR! like a mama cub... Don't mess with her family or friends! So excited for her and looking forward to our fun in just a couple weeks.

The are also having a GUEST DESIGN TEAM CALL if your interested Here is the requirements
We are also holding a Guest Designer Call!!!

Erin is hosting another GDT contest for March! The challenge is simple, since the theme of the February Kits is inspired by the beautiful Basic Grey winter release, "Origins", your task is to do a layout or project based around the origins or beginnings of something. It can be your childhood, going off to school, the early days of a relationship, a new baby, whatever YOU feel ties into origins.

The requirements:

Your layout must be based on the origins theme

You must use at least seven flowers (can be handmade, but patterned paper doesn't count)

You must use at least one button and one gem/rhinestone of some kind

You must use at least three patterns of paper (can be included in your flowers)

You CANNOT use a plain CS background (you can use it as support, however)

You need to use at least three photos

I know that's a lot, but I like things complicated.

This layout is due by Midnight PST, February 10th. You must upload to the Treasured Scrapbooking Gallery to qualify. Good luck if you apply

It's a Resolutions Crop at Treasured Scrapbooking!!!

Jan 7 2010 through Jan 10 2010

It's a new year and a time to reflect on the past year and plan for the new year. Not everyone makes resolutions every year but most everyone has some thoughts about things they would like to accomplish, things they might want to make a better effort at and things they might want to change, and usually the beginning of each new year is a time when these thoughts come to mind. So we, at Treasured Scrapbooking, are going to go with the flow, and hope that you will join us for the ride! So whether you make resolutions, steer yourself towards a focus or create an Ideal Scene for yourself, we will have challenges for you to complete that will allow you to get them down on paper...and glue, and embellishments, and....well you get the idea

Each Design Team member has chosen a resolution of sorts to work on and some of the ideas you will see have something to do with:

Weight Loss

Go Green

Clean

Budget

Volunteering

Organize

Quality Time

More Me Time

You will love the way the Design Team has interpreted the themes above! And as if completing new challenges and new pages or cards isn't enough, there will be prizes too!!!

I know you are intrigued, so mark your calendars, add it to your list of things to do, and get yourself on over to Treasured Scrapbooking on January 7th to join in on the fun!

Where: Treasured Scrapbooking http://www.treasuredscrapbooking.com/

When: January 7 to 10th, 2010

What to bring: Yourself and your supplies

Hope to see you there!

Happy 2010 ...

You should have come from Kelly's blog
Good Bye 2009
Personally I am glad to see 2009 leave to start a new beginning of 2010
2009 was not good healthwise at all for DH or myself I won't go thru it all I just welcome 2010

One of the biggest hi lites in 2009 was being choosen for the Unscripted DT. It really has pushed my limits ,makes me accountable to have to produce an item and makes me do some of my best work! I truly have enjoyed being a part of these wonderful group of girls.

A few resolutions yes we all have them and hope to conquer them all but somehow don't I am making a much smaller list this year to make it doable. I will list The top five I will list I made a list for the refrigerator for 2010

1.) Make more scrapping time for myself
2.) Do more cards this year will be the year of cards for me I have so much trouble with them but I am not gonna let that stop me .

3.) Do things that make people happy

4.) Go for more walks

5.) Finish my website

A special thanks to Jeryn, Sarah Kaye, Jenny and Sharon there is a lot of work behind the scenes and they are always striving to make it the best it can be. They are the bestest!

Thanks all of you followers ,people who come peek at my blog and those Unscripted Sketches Fans

Looking forward to more fun at Unscripted so keep your eyes on us and hope to see you partcipate in some of the sketches or all of them.

******** ********* NOW FOR THE BLOG CANDY*******************

Scrap Retreat House in California

2009-10-27T10:33:00.000-07:00

What a wonderful weekend I just had stayed at the Scrapretreathouse just click
This place is amazing they have all the fun tools a scrapper could want to use or need to use.
Christine is a bundle of talent and has many lovely pieces of her work in the house.
It's very spacious hold 12 people you can do a group or individual but it's a great place to stay especially if you want to have plenty of scrap time in a weekend.
We arrived Friday a.m. she was there to greet us she is just such a kind,sweet, genuine person.
Anyone wanting to visit California or in California wanting to get together a group or attend a Scrapbook retreat this is definitely the place you want to stay at.
Christine thanks for sharing your wonderful resort of scrapping we will defintely be back again sometime
I give it five ***** STARS... highly recommend this for anyone group to visit you could do card groups to there is just plenty to do for any type of crafting group.
