On To Another Project!

Well I am starting Allie's Birthday Invites. She wants to have a Orca birthday party. I have the cards cut and I have the Orcas cut out, and I just need to get them glittered and mounted on the cards. I will have to post a picture of it when I get done. I am hoping to start those tomorrow. Today I am resting my ankle. Lucky me I I twisted my ankle while shoveling snow this morning so I could put Allie on the van. It is swelling up and quite tender to the touch. I am trying to stay off of it ans stay warm at the same time. Dean had to work today. The weather is crummy and it is quite cold out there. I am snuggled up on the couch with my cat watching Bones. I am ordering pizza tonight for dinner and I am going to relax the rest of the day. Well that is it for now. I will post the invite pics as soon as possible. Have a good weekend!

Finally Done!

Well the Valentine Cards for DD's class are finally done. I have them all assembled and in their envelopes. I am just hoping I don't have to make anymore. I loved to do them, but I was anxious to get them done and out of the way so I can focus on other things. Allie went to my parents' house today so I was able to get things done. I would have loved to get more done, but oh well. Perhaps I can work on some things in the morning when I get up. I want to work more on my scrap room organization. I have it pretty much to where I want it to be, but I would love to alter a few things for that room. I would like to alter my grandpa's embellishment containers and then do something cute with the new wire rack that my DH got for me to put my idea books and magazines on. Nothing special just perhaps some ribbon etc to get it to look more decorative. I need to find something to place on each shelf so the flimsier magazines do not fall through the racking. He was getting ready to toss it out at work last week when he thought of me and decided to bring it home and see if I would have any use for it in my scraproom. I sat up that night thinking of ideas and the idea book rack hit me. I got up the next morning and had it done in no time. I love it, and it fits perfectly in my room. I now have more room in the cupboards to put other things in that are not scrap related. Well I will think on it for awhile till I see if I can do anything to alter it. If not it will remain the way it is, and if I do alter it I will post a picture of it when I am done.

V-day card and a Layout

Well I finally got one v-day card done for DD's class party. I am not sure how many I have to make but I have enough frogs done and embellished for 10. She has a very small class as she is autistic and is in a special ed class for most of her day. I also managed to get a layout done of a picture of DD from probably 4 years ago. She is sitting by our pond at the house that we used to live in. She loved to sit there and watch for her fish to appear so she could say Hi to them. I printed it out on Bazzil textured cardstock after using Photoshop to change the color to one called Nostalgia which gives the photos an old fashioned tinting. The patterened paper that was used on the layout is the Blush Collection by Basic Grey with Flowers from Petaloo enhanced with Jasper and Rose Quarz Glitter from the Martha Stewart Gemstone Collection.

Back At It Today!

Well today I decided to get going on those Valentine's Cards for my daughter's class. They are files that I received from The Wishblading Well. They are V-day cards and Envelopes. I love the set. They work so well together. I will post a picture as soon as possible of the finished card and envelope. They will have frogs on them. I made them red eyed tree frogs covered in glitter. The glitter is primarily Gemstone Collection from Martha Stewart and Stickels from Ranger Industries. They both work perfectly on the die cuts that were made using my Quickutz Digital Cutter called the Silhouette. If you have a chance, purchasing one of these little babies is worth the price, and I have gotten my money's worth out of it since I purchased it in July of 2007. Told my husband that I would love to get a back up since they are being sold so cheap right now, but I may wait until a larger format one comes out, or save up my money and buy a cutter that will do the 12x12 paper. Well off I go. I need to get some of the cards and envelopes cut and then perhaps I can assemble a few tomorrow if the paper and glue is dry. I do so need to get on the two swaps that I am participating in over at Scrapbook.com. They are altered trading cards. One is about fairies and the other is about Twilight the books and movies. I am hoping that I can do these. I may have to back out of them at this point since I have way too much on my plate right now to do a very good job on these. I am also participating in Winter Scrapfest on LifetimeMoments.com and I am focusing mainly on that with my DT responsiblilites for Visual Designs By Chris being incorporated into that. Well wish me luck. I am going to need it!!
