Time to Scrap??

Got this great clock from Heidi Swap at Scrapbook Expo 2009 in Atlanta, GA. It came in an awesome bag filled with great goodies. I have finally done something with it. But it needs more. I think. The numbers are white. I thought about painting them a "HOT PINK". Maybe even a "LIME GREEN". Who knows what it needs? I think maybe some crazy bling bling. Got any ideas as to what I can add to it? Let me know.
Thanks for looking.

Happy Memorial Day

What a better way to spend the wonderful weekend. Get the grandkids and have a big splash!!!
The little fishy's had a good time. But I think the big fishy had a better time.

YOU Tube World

I have officially jumped into the You Tube world. I have been wanting to make how to videos of crafts but never "just did it". Well I finally jumped in. Take a moment to get yourself ready for some wonderful laughing times. I hope that they are clear enough to understand. I learned how to make the toilet tissue mini albums. Yes this is made from a toilet paper roll. I used 6 of them. All flattened out. Inked the edges with Stampin Up inks. Used glitter and bling and ribbons to decorate. The paper is from a paper slab from Hobby Lobby. I also used the Cricut to cut out the flowers. Thanks for watching.

~~~CRICUT SWARM ANYONE~~~

Anyone ever been a part of a Cricut Swarm? If so please let me know ok.
Ok the LaGrange, Georgia ladies that are wanting to do a Cricut Swarm. We need to come up with a group name for it.  Something flashy, sasy or just simple. Either way would be cool. Be thinking on a name for our group. Then we can actually register the group for prizes!!
More to post later.

Way behind

Sorry to the blogger readers. I have been so way behind on posting something this whole month!! Wow time has just flown by. I am in a wonderful birthday card club. It has been way overwhelming making cards. Mainly when you have a lot of birthdays in one month!! But my birthday just recently passed. Psst (April 22). So I was the receiver of some wonderful cards. I actually got one today!! So the month isn't over yet so I am sure I will still receive a few more. As soon as all are received I will take a photo of all that arrived. Thanks for reading and I promise to do better!!

Happy Easter

Just about to head out for a beautiful day with friends then off to visit with the grandkids. Hope everyone has a great Easter. Don't eat to many boiled eggs.. KWIM!!!

Marietta Road Trip 3-13-2010

Sorry a little late in posting the wonderful outcome. Kristin, Kay and Barbara went and met a new scrapbook/stamper Millie. She welcomed us in her wonderful huge studio and taught us a mini class on Friendship Girls. Way cute gals to.

Then she led the way down the road to a wonderful stamp/scrapbook store Impressive Ideas. http://www.impressiveideas.net/

That has been the most rubber stamps I have seen in my life at one time!!. And some awesome cards hung up everywhere!!. Can't wait to scraplift some to. Can't post them all. I made a lot of pictures to.

After lots of googling there were were off to Rubber Stamp Fantasy. It was a nice store. Lots of stamps as well. It was a nise visit to. Then had lunch at McDonalds. Then off on the road again to Archivers.

After Archivers Kristin and myself were off to Hobby Lobby. What some great items on sale there!!. We passed the BIG CHIC. Well you know scrapbookers... Had to stop for a photo.

We found a cute pet shop store and toured it also. Then the "MAIN EVENT". MARIETTA DINER!!!

That was like heaven. The place was packed. Eating area huge, parking lot huge, (I know I circled it 3 times). After parking and waiting 45 min for a table. The big moment arrived. Kristin and I fell into Paella hard!!. What a wonderful dish. We for obvious reasons didn't eat it all.

Then we ordered desert. Can someone say HUGE??? What a slice of cake. I looked like 1/4 of the cake was ours. Never got a bite of that till we got home.

Here is another peek at the desert case.

Hugh and I shared ours and we had left overs of it for Sunday to. Man the day was super windy and cold, spotty rain. But a great time!!.
Thanks again Millie for the tour. We hope to make it back for some more shopping fun and attend a great class.

We will have a great time. Then sometime lunch will occur and then off to http://rubberstampfantasy.blogspot.com/ and Impressive Ideas. And maybe at some point Archivers. Whew sounds like a full day already right. Well Kristin and myself are hoping to go to http://mariettadiner.net/ for dinner and desert. Will follow up with our findings and treasures!!

Pretty Purses

Finally getting to another craft item. I went to a class on how to make these purses. It was a great learning curve. Well after a lot of time re creating another one I did it. I have actually gave one away already to a friend. These were made from random paper on hand. I honestly forget what I own now a days. The colors are great. All are made the same just different colored note cards on the inside.
Thanks for looking.

Georgia vs Auburn

I have always liked calendars. And now I have been getting into altering items also. Only altered one clipboard. Gave it to my Mom for her birthday. She loved it. Well I am trying to start working on great things for local fall craft fairs.
This is a mini clipboard that I have painted with acrylic paints. I sprinkled some fine glitter from CTMH. Added some cardstock and ribbon. Used some Sizzix letters in matching colors. Mounted the calendars and a post it note pad and a ink pen. This can be used in any ones locker, room, or work. It was real simple to make. My thoughts are to do several in these two teams. Due to the fact I live in Georgia and and almost on the state line of Alabama. The two teams are big rivals.
Thanks for looking

Crafting for others...

Back in December I made this cute key chain calendar.

Well now I made a bunch more to sell. And I did. I made 12 of these and had them all made up in kits for anyone to put together. Have the directions included to. Sold everyone of the kits today. I am thrilled. I will be making several projects for this person all summer. Be on the look out for several more projects to come.

Colored this super cute image with Tombow Markers. Now I have got to get her on a card!!. I love how she turned out to. I am really liking this new water coloring thing. Now to get more paper and have a great time!!

Tombow Markers Anyone???

Well I have a few of these markers. All I know is that they are waterproof markers. Similiar to the SU markers and CTMH markers. They are a good bit cheaper than the copic markers to. Of which I own about 10 of the Copic Sketch ones. I actually like the ease of the Tombow markers. Their brush tip point are really easier to get in those tight places. I am on the search for watercolor paper. All home scrapbook companies carries it. As well as Gina K and Papertrey Ink. DECISIONS DECISIONS!!!
Any way here is the color chart for the Tombow Markers.

2010 Winter Olympics Begin

I like to watch some of the games. Some I don't care for. But it is exciting to know that lots of people have trained for years just for this one event. Thats amazing to me. I love watching the opening ceremony. But introducing all the teams seem to take forever and ever. Everyone just watch something this year and enjoy it.

Spellbinders Presto Punch

Now this is cute and a cheap punch in reality. Still watching lots of CHA 2010 videos. This is pretty neat. Uses Spellbinders dies. And templates come with it when you buy it. What could be better?
