New Stuff

2009-07-07T17:29:00.004-05:00

Well, since I could not sleep today I headed to my room and worked on some challenges. Here are a few of the things that I finished.

I have been busy so far this summer working on some of the summer camp challenges over at Coordinates Collections. Here are two layouts I did for this weeks challenges. This one was a 2 page sketch challenge.

This layout was for the S'more challenge, Had to have one patterned paper, two pictures and lots of buttons.

This sweet little layout I did for a BoBunny color yellow challenge. I used almost all Bobunny products for this challenge.

Here is a list of products used:
Brown background paper - BoBunny "Fall festival Cocoa"
Yellow and white flower patterned paper - BoBunny " Back to Back's"
Orange and yellow dots patterned paper - BoBunny "Shabby Princess"
All flowers - Bo Bunny "Grease Monkey"
All ribbon - BoBunny "Bella Journee"
6 brown dew drops
Colorbox "Chestnut Roan" Chalk ink pad for distressing some edges
Singo Uniball "White" journaling pen for doodling and journaling

I made this card for the Farm Fresh Friday challenge over at Greeting Farms. I used my friend's Tina's Surfing Ian stamp and colored the image in with my copics. I plan on making a few more of these of my son's swim party later this summer.

Here is a layout that my oldest daughter did for the Kids can Scrap challenge for this month. The challenge was seeing double so there had to be two of everything that you used, ie two cardstaocks, two pictures, two ribbons, and two word title.

2009-07-03T17:06:00.004-05:00

Here is the card that I did for this weeks sketch challenge. I plan on giving to my hubbie next Friday for our 11th anniversary. I colored the Anya with my copics and added glitter for the bling.

Some cards I made tonight for Unity Stamp's Hip Hop

2009-07-02T20:10:00.005-05:00

This one for for the challenge of "sun is shining" it had to have yellow and use a Unity stamp.

This one is for the challenge of 'Whats new at Unity" it had to have a new stamp from Unity. This one was easier for me since I jsut became hooked on Unity Stamps and Got my order the other day.

Later today I will be hanging out.....

2009-07-02T02:08:00.003-05:00

at Unity Stamps' Hip hop http://theunitystampco.blogspot.com/. This is a really cool stamp company that my friend Tina got me hooked on. I have not be able to use the stamps I got yet. But I did play with hers the other night and just loved them. They stamp so easy and the images are really cool. I actually order something yesterday and was having problems with the check out. I called customer service and got help right away and everyone was so friendly. I know that I will be hanging out with them for along time. Come on over and join me later.

Look what I did.....

2009-06-24T01:18:00.004-05:00

Ok, the house has been empty this week so I have been busy scrappin in peace. Here are somethings that I did for challenges over at scrapadilly.

This weekend I will be at a scrappin event with ScrapinStyle. I can not wait, I am counting down the minutes. I will be taking classes and learning new things. I will post about it next week.

Summer Camp

2009-06-16T15:26:00.003-05:00

Over at Coordinates Collections they are having a summer camp that runs from June 1 to August 31. They are giving you the chance to get 40% off your order by just completing challenges over the next couple months. You can vies the information at the following website. http://www.coordinatescollections.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=6750 here are some things that I have done over the last week for the camp.

This one for was the first challenge, GET CAMPY. I used my Cricut to make the cool tent on the page, inked the edges to make it look more like a old worn tent.

This cute little card was made for the MORE FLAG DAY challenge. I used supplies from my piggy tales kit to make this card.

When you open the little bandoor on the front you find this cute little HI message.

I hope that you come over and join me at coordinates collections and win yourself 40% off.

Some layouts I did this past week

2009-06-10T00:37:00.003-05:00

This past weekend I did an online crop over at sassyscrapper. Here are a few of my favorites that I did for the challenges.

My New Scrap Room

2009-06-03T23:09:00.004-05:00

Here is my new scrap room. Eleanore and Jessica wanted to share a room so I was happy to assist them in that move. I told them that if they shared a room that it was going to be for a very long time because I was going to make the other bedroom into my scrappin room. I have been working on it since Monday and finally got all the shelves and stuff moved from downstairs to it's new home upstairs. Here are the photos that I took tonight after I finished organizing all my stuff. It is hard to believe that I had all this stuff (except for the two long tables and the shelving)in a small area of my bedroom downstairs.

Just in case you did not know what my old scrappin area looked like here are a few photos of the old area, which was located in my bedroom.

SO OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW!!!!!!!!

This is the view from the doorway, looking into the room. And yes that is a dresser. I had to leave Jessica's dresser and clothes in the room because the other room did not have any space for them. That is alright with me because the dresser works great for a TV stand.

As you walk into my room on the left you will find my main scrappin area. This area include my scrappin table and wall of scissors/ribbons. Under this table to the right of the chair is a rolling cart that has kits inside. There is also a bin on the ground that has my thickners inside and they are arranged by color. The shelves above the table are where my flowers and some of my other embellies.

To the right side of my table is the area where my papers are located. To the right of my paper racks is the TV and my stickers are to the right of the TV. The shelves above the paper racks is the chipboard area and my books.

On the next wall you will find my computer area for the laptop and my cricut expression. My cuttlebug and other diecut stuff is also located here. This area is also right behind me as I am sitting at my table. Next, the computer table is a small bookcase that contains paper slabs and other sizes of card stock. On top of the bookcase is one 3-drawer container that houses sticker/rub on letters and words. There is also another 3-drawer container that houses my clear stamps.

This is the area for my stamping stuff. This area is where my glitter, embossing stuff, paints, stickles, rubber stamps, ink pads, copics, markers and color pencils can be found. The two bottom shelves are my rubber stamps. Under this table lives a small kids table and two chairs that can be moved out to allow my kids to scrap, if they wish, while I scrap. You can not really see it in the photo but right next to this table is a black stand that houses my punches, ribbons not on a roll, and papers. On top of this black stand is where my scrap bin lives. To the right of this stand is the door to my room.

I hope that you enjoyed this tour of my new scrap room. Please leave me comments and/or suggestions. I would also, like to thank George, my husband, for his help of hanging the shelving and for him not complaining about me having all this stuff. I want to also thank my three kids for helping move the stuff up the stairs to it new home. I special thank you to Eleanore, my oldest daughter 10 yrs, for all her hard work. Eleanore helped my move the paper racks and kept going to get move stuff without ever complains. Of course I owe her something special for all that hard work.

Sunshine and Silver

2009-06-03T23:03:00.005-05:00

Here are some pictures of the two new kittens that we got Monday. Sunshine is Jessica's kitten and Silver is Eleanore's kitten. Andy has Cuddles (1year cat) that seems to like growling and hissing at the kittens instead of playing.

This is a photo of Sunshine:

This is a photo of Silver:

Here is a picture of Silver cleaning Sunshine's back while she was sleeping. Just too cute.

Guess what is new with me????

2009-06-02T02:38:00.003-05:00

First, we got two new kittens. The other cat (cuddles), about 1 year old, does not like the kittens. All she did all day was hiss and growl at the kittens and everyone else. I got cuddles so calming medicine at the pet store and that seem to calm her down. But the best news is that I am getting a scrap room. My girls want to share a room so I was happy to do that for them. Because that meant my getting the other bedroom for a scrapbooking room. I worked all day today upstairs moving the little one out of the one room and into the other and on the scraproom. Eleanore was so helpful she actually brought me all of my scrappin supplies upstairs. She helped me carry my two large paper racks upstairs too. I guess I owe her a little something this week. I will post photos soon of the new room and other kittens.

School is out tommorrow

2009-05-20T17:56:00.003-05:00

Wow, where does all the time go? It seem like time is going by quicker and quicker everyday. I guess that is what happens when we have kids and they have friends and are involved with scouts and sports. Anyways, school get out here tomorrow around noon. The kids (yes all three) will be home most of the summer. The oldest two have a camp planned, while little one goes over to Nanas, and mommy to a scrapbooking retreat in June. My hubby has to go out of town with the kids in July and me and the kids have a vacation planned for than. My son gets to go to the Grand Canyon with his Aunt and Uncle for a week. So I do not know how much scrappin I will be getting done over the summer, but I am sure I will have tons of picture to scrap this fall. I hope that everyone is having a wonderful and blessed day and that your summer is safe.

Some stuff I have done this month.

2009-05-20T17:43:00.006-05:00

Well with NSD only two days away I am getting my scrappin supplies ready. This weekend I have ton of things to do Saturday but Sunday is all MINE..... I can not wait to see all the cool online challenges and games this weekend. I will be taking time off of work next year around NSD, because there are so many online and in person crops going on. i have already started some on those crops. I made a cute little card for a challenge on Fiskateers today for there crop.

Here is a very cute little card I did today for a card challenge on fiskateers. I love the way it turned out. It is so spring and I can not wait to give it away for a gift. I used my cricut to cut the shape of the card and envelope out, colored the grass with my copics and added lots of layered flowers and bling.

Here is the picture of the card's envelope, how it is going to look when that special person gets it on their birthday.

After opening the envelope they will see the card which will include a cute little message inside.

I had ton of fun making this card and will be for sure make some more cards on my cricut very soon. Thank you for stopping by and hope that everyone has a fun and scrappin weekend.

I spy spring colors

2009-04-09T20:33:00.003-05:00

Here is a layout I did this evening for a challenge on Fiskateers. I was inspired by the postcard that Kelly Jo posted. All of those spring colors and the flowers justed popped out at me. The picture is of my and my oldest daughter, Eleanore, from camp this past weekend. Except of the flowers, white ribbon and bling the entire layout was made from piggytales products (paper, rub-ons, chipboard letter, sticker letters, tags, and ric rac).

Where does the time go???

2009-04-09T00:37:00.004-05:00

It is hard to believe that the week is almost over and Easter is just around the corner. This past weekend I went camping with the girlscouts. We had a great time. Although, we did not actually stay over night at the camp. That was because the weather was very cold (over night low was about 28) and the cabins we were to stay in had no heat, just screened in windows. So instead of everone getting sick the girls over at my house eat pizza, went to the show and then got up early to go to the camp for the events. I am still sore from horseback riding. I do not know how my daughter does it every weekend. Here are some pictures for this past weekend.

Some layouts I did

2009-03-24T18:45:00.008-05:00

Here are two layouts I did the other day.
This one I did for a challenge on American Crafts blog. It was to make a layout using three different sets of Thickers on that one page. I title this one "silly me" because it shows pictures of me being silly on one of those jumping things at the mall.

"Silly Me"
Is a layout I did for the American Crafts- Thickers challenge.
I used American Crafts' Travel Token Pattern paper for the background.
American Crafts' Chit Chat Tangerine Puffy Letter Stickers Thickers for the words "silly, me, and &".
American Crafts' Tinsel Foil Letter Stickers Thickers for the words "round and round".
American Crafts' Subway Foam Letter Stickers Thickers for the words "up and down".
I added yellow cardstock for background of the photos and I inked the edges of the cardstock with green ink. I added a circle chipboard which I painted with sunset orange Adirodack acrylic Paint. I then added arrows with black diamonds stickles to the orange circle.

I did this one for the Rusty Pickle "Lucky" Challenge".

"Butterflies"

For this challenge you had to use 80% of Rusty Pickle's products and create a layout about 'Lucky' things. All of the products I used were from the French Market Line by Rusty Pickle, except for the two buttons located in the center of the flowers I made. I picked this picture because I am lucky when I am around butterflies. The photo is one on my husband and myself at a butterfly garden. I picked a picture with my husband because I am so lucky to have so a great husband who love and supports me.

Thanksgiving photos

2008-12-13T05:56:00.004-06:00

Sorry that it has taken me so long to post these pictures.

Here is a picture of the kids with grandpa, Thanksgiving in Memphis.

Here is one of my brothers and me with the kids. We each are holding the kids in age older.

Jessica is just too cute!!!!

2008-12-12T19:56:00.003-06:00

She loves Jordin Sparks' song Tattoo. I taped her singing it tonight. I need to figure out how to post it here, the size is too big. I will upload it as soon as I can.

2008-12-10T22:51:00.002-06:00

It finally stopped raining. The weather is much colder and gloaming but at least it is not raining. Eleanore has her Christmas program tomorrow night. Than Friday she is having a sleepover, followed by us going to Grinch on ice exhibit Saturday night with the scouts. I am just looking forward to relaxing this weekend. Got Eleanore's room cleaned today and bed moved form in front of the windows. Andy got to play the star wars game on the wii for a little bit tonight and Jessica had to play.

2008-12-10T04:34:00.002-06:00

I think I might need a boat to get home. It has rained all day yesterday and driving to work last night was not fun. Andy got his gift card Monday at scouts and had to go spend it at Walmart after school Tuesday. He got a star wars Wii game and a helicopter. Eleanore begged him to get her something the entire time we were in Walmart. She seems to forget that she gets things in Jan for cookies. I am counting down to Christmas and being able to stay home a couple days after my surgery to recover and relax. Starting to plan vacations here and thinking about where to go and what to do. Right now thinking that we might take a quick trip in March for a long weekend and August to Chicago to see the sites. Until later.

2008-12-08T22:40:00.002-06:00

It's Monday again. Boy were does the weekend go. I did some layouts for a crop this past weekend. I finished up shopping and wrapping today. Andy had scouts and got to throw a pie in the Kernel's face tonight. Boy did he have fun. The girls had dance tonight and afterwards Jessica talked daddy into getting a toy afterwards. The weather is changing and it is very winding and getting ready to rain.

2008-12-06T18:34:00.002-06:00

Well, just noticed that its been a couple days since my last post. This week the kids made ornaments for the Kids can scrap challenge. I need to upload them and post them here as well. I have finished shopping but still to finish wrapping up. I have been working on a couple challenges today. Early today i took Andy and Jessica to Micheal's for the Santa's workshop. Wow for 5.00 the kids made a cup, 4 ornaments, a bag, and a canvas. How cool was that. I will be putting picture of them up as well. I am still trying to get the kids to clean their rooms. Will write later.

2008-12-02T23:45:00.003-06:00

Hi everyone, Well what a big weekend with visits, travels and shopping. The kids went back to school Monday (yeah!!!!!). Found out that Jessica won a little prize package from Kids can scrap website for the first challenge. The girl who runs the site is actually going to send everyone who did the challenge a little something but Jessica was really excited to see her prize package and name on the site as a winner. Way to go, Jessica... The next challenge for them is to make an ornament by December 15th. The kids are sending their pen pals in Canada letters tomorrow. Hopefully we will be able to go to the mall and see Santa after school tomorrow and have pictures taken. I got my new cricut expression today and played with it for a little bit tonight. I am excited about being able to use it this weekend for some scrapping. Well got to go.

2008-11-29T03:13:00.002-06:00

Hope that everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving. We spent the day with family in Memphis and had good eats. Thanksgiving day marked the 8th Anniversary of my mother's death. On Friday we went by the grave site and placed new flowers on her grave and my grandparent's grave. When I got home I noticed that I had won something for SoCalScrap. What a wonderful surprise, also my friend Tina had won on a blog. I had mail and packages waiting on the doorstep for me, good thing I stopped the mail and asked for it not to start up until Sat., Nov 29th. Funny how the post office seems to do what they want. Thankfully I had to work Friday night because otherwise our mail would have been sitting out for a couple days on the front porch. Later today the kids and I plan on decorating the house for Christmas. Hard to believe that Christmas will be here in about 3 1/2 weeks.

2008-11-25T19:56:00.004-06:00

Hard to believe that it is almost Christmas again. It seems that time really does fly when you are having fun. Hope that you are getting done with your holiday lists. this past weekend I did an online crop at serendipityscrapbooks.com and made lots of gifts to give out. One of my favorite was the pre-crop card box. i plan on filling them with handmade cards and giving them as gifts. I also made candy wrappers for candy bars that I plan on giving out and a paper wreath (pattern was from the Paper Popsicles website) for my mother in law. The kids loved the boxes so much they had to do one. The kids are out of school this week and boy are they messing the house up.

(Here is the box that Jessica made.)

I might be a couple days till a post again. Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.

2008-11-23T22:48:00.002-06:00

Wow, I just noticed that I have not posted since Wednesday. Where do the time go. Well, Eleanore and Andy are now out of school for a week. Jessica will be out starting on Wednesday for the Thanksgiving holiday. We are planning on going to Memphis to spend some time with family. Saturday the kids went to the movies to see Bolt. All three of them were invited to go with friends and to go over and play afterwards. That was so nice of them to invite all the kids. my Aunt and cousin was in town for the football game on Sunday and we meet up for lunch Saturday afternoon, it was nice to see them. Nana came in town this weekend also, she brought my chatterbox kit that she picked up form Sam's for me. i loved all the things in that kit. I have been busy this weekend working on the Serendipity crop and plan on doing a few challenges on 3 scrappy boys tomorrow. Not sure how much i will get done. I need to sleep late or take a nap tomorrow because I work all night. I will write later.

2008-11-19T23:31:00.002-06:00

Well, It's Wednesday. Today I got lots of goodies in the mail. I got a package from Memories from the Attic. I so loved the paper I got and the templates. One came from Scrappire, I could not believe how many sheets of paper came in the kit I won. I love the purples and brown combos. I than got one from fed ex from tinkering ink. It was awesome, there was lots of papers and other goodies in the box. I could not believe it that they picked my name on the blog a couple weeks ago and that the goodies came already. Tonight I worked on some crop challenges and liked how the projects turned out. One was a box to hold Christmas cards and the other thing was to decorate a star. I do not know which one I liked better. I will have to post pictures here soon.

2008-11-18T19:47:00.002-06:00

The kids had 4H tonight so that left me and Jessica home alone. We decided to go to OCharleys for dinner. While waiting on our food she did her homework. She is so cute writing her numbers and counting them to me. Andy brought home school papers today, I can't believe how smart he is. He made all A's with one B. He told me today that he wanted to be a doctor like his uncle Keith. I know he can and would love it. Jessica is standing right here, next to me, looking at the American Girl Book and shopping. To bad she does not have any money. Well until tomorrow.

2008-11-17T13:20:00.002-06:00

Wow, what a weekend I had. First Friday night I went to my first crop and had so much fun. I went with Tina (from work and her sister). It did take me awhile to find the place. I worked on some month long challenges and got to do a make-n-take. Rebecca from the fiskarteers was there from 8-10 and gave away prizes. I won a pair of scissors.

On Saturday, I went to an all day Fiskateers event. We crop, made cards for the vets, made a layout page, went on the party bus, ate, danced and got tons of goodies. I could not believe the amount of stuff they gave us and it only cost 20.00. I came back with two bags of stuff more than what I went with. My friend Tina won the grand prize the new rock, paper, trimmer by fiskars, ipod and 15.00 gift card. She was so happy and jumping around. I was so glad for her.

The kids and George stayed around the house. On Sunday, Jessica helped clean up the playroom and got a peek-a-boo out of helping. Eleanore and Andy went horseback riding.

It's FRIDAY

2008-11-14T23:34:00.003-06:00

Tonight I went to my first crop. I had tons of fun and course brought some things. When I got home the kids had trashed the house. Makes me wonder what daddy was doing. LOL. Tomorrow I will be at a all day crop . Not telling what the house will be like than, hopefully still standing.

It's finally raining

2008-11-12T23:42:00.003-06:00

The weather man has predicted rain for the last three days. It is finally here. 9 week progress reports came home today from school. Eleanore and Andy are doing great in school. Goodwill is coming to Jessica's school in the morning to do some sort of video and asked the kids to bring something to donate. She was so cute when I picked her up because she was giving a toy to goodwill. Jessica told me which one she wanted to give them and what everyone else was giving Goodwill. Eleanore is trying to get out of school tomorrow.

Its Wednesday

2008-11-12T05:56:00.002-06:00

I did not get a chance to post about Tuesday. So here it is. Happy Veteran's Day to all you Vets. My hubby was off Tuesday which meant my slept was broken by having someone else at the house during the day. The kids went to school and did not do anything out of the normal. Andy had scouts last night and learned how to used a pocket knife and kitchen knife safety. I was just waiting for someone to cut themselves or their finger off. I got some challenges done for crops last night. I have been doing the love bug apprentice. Will try to write later tonight.

It's Monday

2008-11-10T15:55:00.002-06:00

Back to the routine of another week. I got tone of goodies in the mail today. My Color me Daisy Christmas Card kit came, the goodies I ordered for Memories Across the miles came, two RAKs I won from on-line crops also come. It felt like Christmas around here, well at least for me. I talked to my mother-in-law about getting me the new Chatterbox Christmas set from Sam. Her Sam's got the smaller one of the two. She was able to get it, so now I will have lots of cool things to scrap with after Christmas. The kids went to school and had a good day. Got a busy week ahead of us here, with scouts and dance. I plan on working on some online crops this weekend. Found out today that the hotel where the crop is has free wireless Internet, so guess my laptop will be coming with me to the crop this weekend. later.. Jen

The weekend is almost over

2008-11-09T19:01:00.002-06:00

Well, Sunday was a lazy day around here. Eleanore and Andy had horse riding lessons after church. Jessica and me stayed home and napped. I did actually work on a layout but that was about it. I got to go to work tonight but that means I am off Friday for some crops this up coming weekend. I got to start thinking about what I need to bring.

2008-11-08T20:04:00.002-06:00

Here is the transparent photo album I did for the Color Me Daisy Blog Hop (transparencies).

The Weekend is Finally Here!!!!!

2008-11-08T19:35:00.003-06:00

Well, today has been a busy day after all. I first made a run to the local craft store for some much needed crafting supplies. When I got back, we left for the science museum and lunch with the kids. Andy had so much fun at the science museum looking at all the different scales of trains. Eleanore and Jessica had fun also with the new space area of the center.

When we got home I got busy to work on my crafting. I have been working on a transparent family photo album for the Color Me Daisy's blog hop-transparencies that is going on this weekend. I am really not a fan of working with clear/transparent object but I like the way Oceanlover http://loveyourmotherearth.blogspot.com/ did her album. I thought that I would give it a try. I really love the way my transparent album turned out. So after viewing mine, head on over the http://www.colormedaisy.com/ and check out every ones' transparent projects. Their are some really cool ideas and the kits are awesome.

Today the kids had fun Friday at school. When I got Jessica from school today she came running over to me with a beautiful handful of leaves. It was so cute. She was so happy to be giving mommy a handful of leaves. Wished I had my camera for that one. Eleanore had a birthday sleepover to go to tonight. So Andy and Jessica will have peace tonight over the movie they watch for bedtime. They picked Alvin and the Chipmunks.

I planted four more mums today and finished up my scrap area. It will be so nice to get to work in my new space tomorrow. Jessica finished her layout for the Kids can Scrap challenge. I will be posting it soon here and on the site. Not much going on this weekend as far as challenges and crops. Think that we might go to the science center with the kids. Well until later, good day.

It's Friday

2008-11-07T01:23:00.004-06:00

Well yesterday I planted 4 mums in front of my home before it rains tomorrow. My husband helped me put up shelves and pegboard in my room for scrapbook supplies. I will need to make a Home Depot run this afternoon to get more pegs and other supplies to finish up before the weekend. The count down has started for next weekend's crop with the Fiskateers. I am actually going to be able to do two in person crops next weekend. One Friday night and one all day Saturday.

Jessica started to work on her scrapbook layout tonight for Kids can Scrap challenge. She was so cute sitting at my table and writing about her favorite things. Can't wait to post the layout she does and along with the Eleanore's and Andy's layouts.
