Oh, and a little info about the dance from the choreographers... it's a couple's last night together before the guy is sent off to war...

Random Inspiration & Fun-ness!!!

I subscribe to several magazines, and LOVE flipping through them and marking pages. It may be a project I would like to try, something to share with my crafty friends, or just plain old inspirational things that I come across.

O-M-G, I TOTALLY want this clock too... GO 80's!!!


These clocks totally ROCK too!! Look at all those fun colors!!! This site seriously has some fun stuff, you should check it out when you have fun!!!


And if this is not the CLEVEREST thing I've ever seen!! Boredom is NO MORE with this fun craft item filled jar!!!

Got Scraps?? Make Cards :o)

It's such a great feeling to use up all those fun scraps that are leftover after working on a project, dontcha think?? I mean, everything is already coordinated and makes it SO easy!!!

I LOVE to make cards from my scraps that are left on my table after working on a layout or other scrappy project. I had a little time last night, yep, on a work night... so I decided to use those coordinated scraps that were already laying there.

Here are a few cards I made in less than 20 minutes!! Thanks for looking and have a GREAT Thursday!!

Card Share ~ 2 Sketches 4 You Blog

I'm REALLY enjoying the card sketches that Kazan and Laura are posting over at 2 Sketches 4 You. Some WAY fun and unique sketches. I couldn't wait to try the newest sketch... so when I got home from work last night, I dove right in!!

Just wanted to share the card I made from Kazan's Sketch #2. Oh, and if you haven't checked their new blog out yet, YOU SHOULD!! Thanks for looking!!

Weekend Scrapping ~ Two Spotted Dogs
Design Team Reveal

I've had so much fun scrapping this weekend... and this June Totally Cool kit from Two Spotted Dogs just TOTALLY ROCKS!!!

I seriously think that this Prima Dude line is one of my ALL-TIME fave lines!!! I've done so much with it, and still have lots of fun stuff left.

I had my scrappy friends over Friday night. Andie, Megan, Jenn and I had a LOT of fun while making a HUGE mess, LOL!!

Here's some of what I got done then and throughout the rest of the weekend. Thanks for looking!!!

So, I had so much fun with the first card sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You, that I just HAD to do the second one!!

Saturday Night Scrapping & New Sketch Blog

I came across a new sketch blog the other day, how FUN!! 2 Sketches 4 You is a new card sketch blog that will have new card sketches every week!! I'll be keeping my eye on this one!!

I used Kazan's Sketch #1 tonight and made this fun card. Thanks for the challenge ladies and good luck in your new endeavor!!

I REALLY like the colored set AND the black set!! They would even be cute mixing the colored and the black... hmmmm.... Just HAD to share with you all... until next time!!

Weekend Scrapping ~ Scrap Attack June Design Team Reveal

I wanted to share my June Design Team projects for Scrap Attack Scrapbooking. I REALLY enjoyed working with these Basic Grey Sugared papers and other fun stuff, so I dug into them BIG TIME over the weekend. I actually got lots of scrapping done!!

It probably helped that the Scrap Attack message board was down most of the weekend due to some server issues. I was having MAJOR withdrawals!!!

No chattiness = LOTS of scrapping!!!

Thanks for looking and have a FABULOUS day!!!

Friday Night Scrapping :o)

Well, I got a later start than I wanted to, but at least I scrapped, right?

Got my new Scrap Attack June Design Team supplies in and busted into those for some scrappy fun. Here's what I've come up with so far... by the way, LOVIN' these Basic Grey "Sugared" papers!!!

Oh, and I NEVER use stamps, but had fun with some new foam ones I got recently as a prize. It's not perfect stamping, but I'm happy with it!!

Thanks for looking and hope your weekend is starting out right!

New Work Schedule & MORE Two Spotted Dog May Projects

I'm really enjoying my new work schedule. We're doing four 10-hour days, so I have every Friday off now through the Summer. Kinda like a trial period. If all works out, we may go permanently with it. Monday through Thursday, 6am to 4:30pm. Not too bad...

May Design Team Projects ~ Scrap Attack Scrapbooking

Wanted to share my current design team projects for Scrap Attack Scrapbooking!! I've been having a BLAST playing with this Pink Paislee Office Lingo line, not to mention the Scenic Route Ashville goodies she added in there too!! Thanks for looking!!!

Frugal Scrapping Anyone??

I just LOVE Dollar Stores, I mean, who DOESN'T love a good bargain... so much fun stuff to be found!! Not only can I find cool items for my home, but also lots of stuff that can be incorporated into my scrapbook layouts using a little creativity.

I posted this as a challenge over this past NSD weekend at Scrap Attack Scrapbooking, and the pages made from it were SO FUN... I just HAD to share this technique!!!

For my non-scrappy item, I purchased a funky-looking pillow cover (from the home section) and a small amount of drywall tape (from the hardware section). Here is a picture of the pillow cover.

And here is my layout made using a flower and some trim that I cut from the pillow cover, and the drywall tape that I painted gold.

How fun is that??? Bet you look at things differently the next time you are in your local Dollar Store!!!
