2008-07-22T19:23:00.000-07:00

I have been playing along w/ the girls at Memorable Seasons, they are such a great group of gals. It all started when Jill had a sale that was too good to be true.... well ladies it was true! She has awesome sales almost every week!!!! where do you ask? its at MEMORABLE SEASONS. This past 2 months we have been working on some challenges posted by Memorable Season's DT. The challenges are helping us create a Summer Mini book (Spring into Summer Challenges). I have been having a blast using my 2Gals Scrappin' kit. I am using one of those cute small fancy looking chipboard mini books from Basic Grey. Here are my pages for the challenges.

I must say I really like how they turned out. What do you all think?

I'm a banana, what are you?

2008-06-24T16:42:00.000-07:00

You Are a Banana

You are mellow, easy going, and a total softie on the inside.
People find it really easy to get along with you. You suit most tastes.

And while you're very sweet, you're not boring or ordinary.
You have an attraction to the exotic, and you could show up anywhere... doing almost anything!

You are spirited, energetic, and a total kick to be around.
You're also quite funny. Your sense of humor is on the goofy side, and it fits you well.

What Type of Fruit Are You?

Glitz photo frame

2008-06-23T12:36:00.000-07:00

I am still playing w/ the June 2 Gals kit, it has some wonderful Glitz goodies. My fav product so far... is their frosting and rub-ons which I cut out to serve my frame and LOs.

What's RED, BLUE, WHITE, CREAM and Yellow?

2008-06-12T20:47:00.000-07:00

It is Boxing for Liberty the June kit from The Scrapping Edge. It has the best of both worlds... Scenic Route New Liberty line and Basic Grey Boxer lines, mixed up in a grand way. Of course there is also the Scenic Route cool chipboard alphabet and buttons... brads... stickers... ohhh did I mention it has some clear Stars from Heidi Swapp and the coolest gel flowers too.... I can't believe you are still reading this instead of getting your kit at The Scrapping Edge.

Here are some pictures of the sneek peak (but remember is ready for ordering and the listof contents is here) and some of my creations w/ it.

2 Gals Scrappin' June kit is up!!!!

2008-06-09T14:25:00.000-07:00

Xmas in June....

2008-06-08T17:22:00.000-07:00

I think the heat might be making me hallucinate. It is June and the heat index is 94!!!! So to try to cool myself down I am thinking cold thoughts... LOL!!!

The challenge this time is to create a xmas or winter LO that contains 1: paint; 2: bling; 3: photo(s)

Easy enough... well not quite... I want you to use this awesome sketch that Nicole from MemorableSeasons.com made.

Here is my example:
1: paint: I used Adirondak denim wash and Tattered angel glimmer mist in a light blue color.
2: bling: silver tinsel trim RAKED by Kat (thanks girl); glimmer mist; brads from Hobby Lobby xmas collection.
3: photo: my DD's first xmas picture.

Tired of not having the perfect size envelope for your cards????

2008-06-06T12:02:00.000-07:00

I AM!

I get so aggravated that after I make this beautiful card (for my standards) that I don't have an envelope the right size for it. So since right now I can't afford the Enveloper (is that what's called?; it's a tool to create envelopes) I have decided to make my own... the old way....

plus.......

NO MEASURING NEEDED!

so... are you excited for me or what???? of course I am sharing the instructions with you.... I even made some images to go w/ the instructions... I really need to figure out a way to make videos, but that is another day.

Instructions for envelopes (NO MEASURING NEEDED!)

Step #1: Look for a piece of paper (thin paper is best) or wrapping paper or even pattern paper where your card will fit and have space all around it. You are going to place your card (here the green rectangle) smack in the middle of the paper you chose for the envy. Clear as mud so far?

Step#2: Scoring around the card. This is were a thin paper is going to make a difference. You could go ahead and get your ruler and your bone folder and score around the card leaving a tiny space all around the card. All you could do like me... LOL!!!! I just go ahead and move my card a bit (for those that NEED measurements about 1/8 inch) up and fold the paper against the card... and keep doing that all around the card. In this picture the dotted lines are the score lines.

Step#3: Using a pencil draw the cutting lines like shown on Step #3 image.

Step#4: Cut following the cutting lines you did on the previous step.

Step#5: Fold the two flaps on the sides following your score lines. Apply glue (or tape) to the two flaps on the side. NOTE: Notice that I didn't apply glue all the way to the top of the flaps since when I fold the bottom part there is a part of the flaps that is not going to be touching the bottom flap. Fold the bottom flap following the score line you did.

Step#6: Fold the bottom flap following the score line you did. And VOILA' your envelope is finished... put your card inside and glue the top flap.

This LO is a mix of a few challenges:

SNS - BOM #15 by Shannon ~ Modern Conveniences
What modern convenience(s) could you not bare to live without?
Computer? Microwave? Ipod? TV? Cell phone?
Tamara's Sketches #47
ScrapMode's June LOs

I haven't forgotten...

2008-06-04T16:40:00.000-07:00

I will be doing the drawing this Saturday. Good luck to everyone!

I'm cleaning up.... and that means there are RAKs for grabs.

2008-05-28T21:55:00.000-07:00

So, I've been cleaning my scraproom and I still have a long way left... LOL!!! And I found a box of paper... old paper... rich paper... yummy paper... most of it from Magenta Rubber Stamps. All these papers were bought w/ card making purposes at a rubber stamp specialty store. They are not the usual papers you find at your scrapbook store. Well, I am not doing cards as much as I did before and these don't fit my scrapbook style... so they are in two envelopes ready to be mailed. The papers are 6x12 inches in size. So if you like doing cards.... or love Magenta style... or love travel themes... or vintage theme... then.... leave a comment for a chance to get one of these great envies.

Quotes... and more quotes...

2008-05-25T10:45:00.000-07:00

In savvynsassy they had this BOM challenge to do a LO w/ "Quotes to live by or Words to live by". I thought it was the perfect opportunity to use this ATB paper (the brown quote) that was sent to me by scrapbook trends magazine w/ their copy of the My Albums book.

This LO... sure follows the paint... bling... but no photos... I guess you can't have it all sometimes! This LO was created for the TSS DT assignment of the month of June.

TECHINIQUE: After deciding where I wanted my quote (of course this could be a photo) on my LO, I was ready to start painting. I used some of the Ranger's Dabbers (I used a light pink, the name escapes me right now). Of course you might think, there is no glitter in that paint... and you are right, that is where the technique of this weeks comes along.

Using a paintbrush draw some strokes of paint where the picture or quote will be. Remember you want to paint a "frame" around the quote/photo.
Working a bit fast (at least w/ the Rangers ink since these dry soooo fast) pour loose glitter on top of the wet paint. If you use a smaller grain glitter it will have a much better cover than a bigger grain glitter.
Let the paint dry.
Cover w/ a layer of matte finish either spray or paint like. This will prevent from glitter being all over the place later.

New Blog... new scrappy life!

2008-05-24T23:28:00.001-07:00
