The stamps come with mini pads and mini journal blocks to use the stamps on. I am going to work on Mother's Day Cards tomorrow. I need to get those done and in the mail ASAP. I will post pictures tomorrow. I am off to get Allie off the van and start dinner before I head into work for a long 6 hour shift, then I am off tomorrow and then I work and then off two days again. Yea. Have a good one!

I am scrapping today!

Ok ladies. I have one errand to run at 9:00am and then I am coming home to my scrapbook room. I want to finish my sitting pretty layout of chloe. I will post a picture when I am done. I would also like to get started on a few more layouts if not get them done as well. I won a gift card for Lifetime Moments in their winter scrapfest and I purchased a bunch of new stamps and flowers. Kelley over at My Bucket Overflowth has got me wanting to stamp more. I need to get on those Mother's Day cards as well. That may be my project for today after I get done with chloe's layout. I will have to wait and see. The weather is supposed to be near 80 today so I am going to open the windows and doors, air out the house, crank up my music and go to town scrapping! I should be starting that no later then 10:00 as the pet store opens at 9:00 and I have to run in just for Crickets for my daughters fire bellied toads, and some shells for her hermit crabs that she got for her birthday. May even surprise her with a new one, if one of them catches my eye and screams Allie at me. LOL! So I am getting off of here, and I will post everything when I get it done. Have a blessed day!!

Wish me luck!

Ok I am forcing myself tomorrow to get out to my scraproom and create. I have been lax in my DT duties for Chris Durnan and am in desperate need of some screative juices to flow, but I will force myself to get something done. I have some photos from my scrapbooking weekend that I really want to create a page for. I am hoping to use some of Chris's pretty ribbon files to create something for that page.

My Vow!

Tomorrow come Hades or High Water I will get out to the scraproom and start creating. I just received my Scrapbook Etc newsletter, and I am eager to try some of the cool die cutting ideas. There were some really interesting ideas. I have never thought about using two different colors to create a title. There was a layout in the ideas using white with the primary word in bright red. It really made the title stand out. I am always looking for new ideas to make my layouts stand out. I am one who is not afraid to try new things. I stepped out of my zone and did the watercolor pencils, and my next thing is the Copic Markers. I heard they are fabulous to work with, and the outcome of your labors is exsquisite. I am waiting for Lifetime Moments to get them in, and I will probalby place an order. I would also like to get more into stamping. I have some stamps, but nothing that works well like the ones I am seeing on all the stamp sites. I would love to invest in a nice set that I can use for cards and layouts and gift tags. I have started tossing around ideas for this weeks Twilight Tuesday Challenge. It is based on the character Jasper and he is fast becoming my favorite. I was working on journaling ideas yesterday for this challenge. Now I am heading out to my scraproom to see if I can get at least one layout for my wedding album started. Have a good one!

Waiting Patiently for Pictures!

I placed an order last Thursday for pictures on DotPhoto.com . They shipped on Monday so I am hoping they arrive soon. I would love to get scrapping again. I would like to do some layouts for the Design Team at Visual Designs by Chris. I really do need to get out there and work on my Wedding Album. It should be something easy to do, yet I have no inspiration. I think because I love to throw whatever onto my pages, I won't do that with the wedding pics. I want them to stand out, not the layouts temselves. I have Chloe the next couple of days, so I will be up at 7:00 and stay yo, so I should be able to get out there and scrap. I will be dragging butt at work in the evening, but I should get some scrapping done if the pictures do show up.

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!!
