It's Monday

I finally put away the purchases from last Fridays Scrapbook Expo. Well... almost... I put a lot of paper in my crop tote for lack of room. At least it's off of my desk chair. It had to be as I needed to get to work and make more pages.

Of course I'm an absolute pig when it comes to scrapping. Everything gets piled on my desk and eventually things disappear and randomly surface again. I waste more time trying to find stuff that has submerged under other things.

I did a fall page of Jacob helping grandpa paint. I used some leaf stamps and diecut photo corners and a small tag. For the costume page I stamped lil bats and diecut a pumpkin that I

added the face to in ink.

Thank goodness it's Wednesday

I don't have to be back at work until Tuesday. Then three days of work and four off. :)

Still working on fall scrapbook pages for Jacob's book.

Chrissy and I are going to the Scrapbook Expo in St. Charles on Friday. We're spending Thursday night at the host hotel, Pheasant Run. Hubby can watch whatever he wants on TV Thursday night. ;)

The page on the left has Quickutz pumpkins and gourds, for the one on the right I stamped corn shocks and cut them out.

Another couple of pages done today

I did some more for Jacob's book. I'm enjoying all the bright colors and using my die cut machine and the stamps.

I really love autumn.

Another page for Jacobs book

I *am* having fun with the diecut machine. I made a cute little barn and another tag. Got the title page done for the Fall Festival pages.

Oh Baby!

Coming down to the wire and I told Heidi I wasn't going to but I did, I did another bling page.

You do see the bling don't cha?

I thought I'd do two things at once... make a Survivor bling and finish a card swap. This is for the non-traditional holiday card swap which could not use the colors red, green, pine or cranberry.

I have silver punched stars, silver snowflake stickers, the itty bitty word was a sticker and that was a b*tch to get down and... there's ghost snowflake images in Brilliance silver.

Monday's bling

This is the quickest layout I've done. Unfortunately my hands shook when I took the picture and while I've tried my best to remedy the photo it's blurry.

The pics are of the Woodstock Square in the spring. I love the square, I met my husband on the square. :)

I have bling in the center of the flowers and on the tag. I got to play with my BoBunny curvy ruler that you can bend into any shape.

Friday August 10

This is the third time I've tried to post this. I had to clear out my internet files first.

Anyway, last Friday was Archivers "Make and Take" weekend. I decided to do the scrapbook page. I liked the huge acrylic stamps and bought a sheet and the special stamper to go along with it. Naturally they were pushing that on that weekend. I added my own bling at home.

The picture is of Chrissy and I, 1978, at Sherman hospital in Elgin, at feeding time. It's an old Polaroid print.

Another page for the challenge

I orginally made the page last Friday during Archivers "Make and Take" weekend. I enjoyed using the huge acrylic swirl stamps and bought a sheet and the special stamper for them. When I got home I added some bling.

The picture is of Chrissy, 1978, and I at the hospital at feeding time. It's an old polaroid print.

More Survivor Bling

I finished two more pages from Daytona Bike Week. I was trying to capture the glitter and lights of night on Main Street. It looks far better in person.

Another Survivor Challenge

For this challenge we have to use bling. Translation: Anything sparkly, shiney, glittery, ect. And we have to have a least three blings on a page. Pages all due in by August 15.

Since last night, August 4, was a crop night I was able to complete five pages. An assortment that covered my school pics, prom, scrapbook crops and a motorcycle page.

Another Survivor pre-challenge

Since my oldest grand daughter, Jessie, is away at camp this week I thought I'd make her a card. I made four. Each sign the bears are holding are three dimensional. I cut out an extra of each image and attached it with foam tape. The striped paper is Basic Grey.

More pre-suvivor submissions

I managed to finish not only my fall scrapbook pages but added four more to my LuckyBug pre-survivor challenge pages.

I was able to use my new circle cutter again plus the QuicKutz Revolution to make the tags.

I took the pic outside and the sun was setting and the colors were all off. I tried to adjust the color the best I could in PSP.
