East Coast Trip

I have been busy for the last several weeks working on this album! Actually I am making two of these! I will give the second to Brian's Dad for his birthday!

I have NEVER completed an album for our family so I am really excited about this! I still have a couple LO's to do but I WILL finish it!

Room maker-over

It has been a long time since I posted but I have been busy finishing up an album from our East Coast RV trip last summer! I have never completed an album so I am excited about this! I have 2 or 3 LO's left and I am certainly dragging my feet! But I WILL get it done!

I also started reorganizing my scrap space this week! SO, at the moment my room is a disaster but it will be great when it is done! I bought a 9 cube unit along with 9 metal drawers! It looks so good. I hope one day my kids will appreciate the 5 1/2 hours of driving to 4 different Targets to get the drawers! I found out at the second store that the drawers were discontinued so I HAD to finish getting them! On the hour drive to the last store my kids wouldn't say a word to me! They were SO mad at me! The weather was beautiful and they didn't get to play outside! It has been raining nonstop the last 2 days so that has not helped!

I will show pictures when it is done! Totally excited!

My Valentine's Girl

Oh, I love this little Hero Arts stamp. I bought her back in November and I didn't even realize how perfect she would be for Valentine cards!

Stazon Tips

I really like Stazon Ink! Here are a few tips I thought I would share with you!

Stazon has this great little clear cover on the inside. Now, this help keep the pad from drying out but I find it is a pain to deal with! I usually end up getting some ink on me, somewhere when I work with these!

SO, I decided to use a glue dot and stick it to the outer cover, permanently. It works like a charm!

Place the glue dot on the " inside center dot" of the outer cover, this way you don't get any on you!

Place clear cover back on ink and then put the outer cover back in place. Give it a little squeeze on the center and you are done!

The next time you open the cover you won't have to worry about that silly clear cover inking YOU up!

Because I am (slightly) OCD (or CDO as my husband calls me) I like to label everything! My inks sit on thier sides in a drawer and the labels make is really easy for to me to find exactly what I am looking for.

Faith Hope Love

I made this floating frame for a client just before Christmas.

I think it turned out beautiful! She is going to put it above her fire place with two black sconces next to it.

Yummy New Goodies!

I always love getting packages in the mail but I especially love them when they contain scrappy stuff!
I splurged and ordered 6 Glimmer Mist! I LOVE this stuff and can't seem to get enough of it! But honestly, I use it ALL the time.




I REALLY love the Old Lace. It is so pretty! But my favorite changes weekly.

How about you? Do you have glimmer mist? Do you love it? What is your favorite color?

Scrappy Goals for the New Year

I have never made scrappy goals but this year I decided to give it a go!
I have been really convicted over the last few months that I scrap for others all the time but rarely scrap for our family. That makes me sad!
SO, this year I promising my family that I will make at least 52 Double layouts for our Family albums! That is one a week and that seems reasonable!
I still have four albums for others to finish up, but I will only do a LO for them when I have completed one for our family. So, let the scrapping begin!!



How about you? Do you have a scrappy goal this year?
