Check out wordle.net

I love to find new and fun websites. This was no exception. Today as I went to one of the blogs I follow, they linked this website that makes word art just by entering words, all my words here were scrapbook related, of course. You can change the colors as well, and very easy to use.


I made several that I will be using for some scrapbook layouts I have in mind. Here is the link http://www.wordle.net/ I hope to see what you create?

I Love Birds...........

Close To My Heart did it again. They made this hard to resist cute bird stamps. I find it so hard to not buy stamps any more due to the hundreds I already own.

The Amore paper line is from CTMH as well, I love how pink and chocolate go together. The best part of their product is that all their ink matches the cardstock and printed paper. No more guessing if the colors will match, because they do 100%

This card was made for a exchange I did with other consultants. A layout and 2 cards will be mailed to them on Monday. They are probably relieved that they are finally getting it.

I recieved a couple of layouts and some adorable cards. I am also waiting for some to be sent my way and I am so excited. I love getting stuff in the mail.

Do You See What I See??????

I had just pulled my towel down from the shower glass pane and I looked up and saw this image. At first I was in awe. Then I noticed that it was evaporating at a rapid rate.

Picture me scrambling trying to find my camera.......LOL, all I knew was that I had to take the picture. I was so excited, I must have taken 10 pictures, and I chose this one because it was the clearest of them all.

Let me tell you what I see! I see a couple facing each other about to kiss, and I see a heart in the picture as well. Do you see it?

When I showed this picture to my husband he said I dont get it? Urgh MEN!!! I had to point it all out until he could make it out. By George he finally got it......hehehehehehehe.

I did tell him, I think our shower misses us in there together.

Altered Cigar Purse

I love, love, love, to alter things. By far my favorite would be a cigar purse. I must of made about 25 of them so far. One of my favorites is the one pictured to the right. I loved how green and red look together.

I made this for an entry to the LSS design team contest along with a layout and I got picked as one of the designers. A highlight in my itty bity scrapbooking career.

The paper is from Bo Bunny. They have one of the best scrapbooking printed paper and accessories around. I used Making Memories red paint, ribbon, and a flowered chip board. Inside is painted as well and I add a oval shapped mirror.Most of my purses if you remember on a earlier post was donated to my friend Enriquetta's cute little gift shop.

The purse pictured here was given to my sister in law Rose.

Party Favors for Friends

Recently my twin sister asked me if I would make her party favors for her Friends get together. Of course I would.

Every other month she has a group friends that host a party at each others home, and this time it was my sisters turn.

I went to this cute little scrapboking store and found a die cut that turned cardstock into little purses. All needed was for me to decorate it. I had my sister pick the colors and printed paper.

When working on them I wanted to make sure that it was cute and girly. I really like how it turned. I filled it up with peppermint candy.

I was invited to the get together and went down to Southern California to attend. I saw friends that I have not seen in 25 years....yikes! I was in 9th grade. Some of them still looked the same. I find it funny how my sister never loses touch with any of her friends. It is not often that I get to hang out with the girls, no children, a little wine, and a whole lotta fun.

Valentine ATC

I am HOOKED! I was always curious about ATC cards, and exchanges, but never joined any of the swaps. The cards are 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches and fit perfectly in the baseball collectors holder.

But the girls @ scrap space---> http://scrapspace.forumotion.com/forum.htm were having signups to join this exchange and since Valentines is my favorite time of year I decided to join.

This is the one I made for the swap. The paper is from Chatterbox.......me loves this line!

I can't wait for my exchanges to come back, I will post once I get them it.

Have a happy scrappy day.

Monnie's Shoebox

I went this past weekend to Los Angeles to take care of a few things. One of my stops was taking my darling Godchild Monnie to her ballet class. I could not go in because they only allowed 1 person in, so her Mom (my neice Amanda) went with her while my twin and I walked through old town Glendora.

It was nice visiting all the cute stores the town had to offer. Of course I stopped at the local scrapbook store. When her class was over Amanda told us that the ballet teacher had requested that they decorate a shoe box. I promptly volunteered, of course I would for this is up my alley.

I mailed it off this morning via the post office so that she would have it for Saturday's class.

Teacher's Christmas Gifts

I love making gifts for the teachers. This is was no exception. So last night I put the finishing touches on these bottles. They are the Starbucks glass jars that contain my favorite mocha drink.....Yummy! I peeled off the labels and washed them to take off the adhesive and of course drank the coffee inside. After they dried I filled them with peppermint candy. Again I used the Wassill paper line from Basic Grey. I wish you could see all the details but the picture came out so so, you can't even see the glitter.

The teachers love getting homemade stuff all the time. I can not wait to see what they say. The boys were so excited to take them to school this morning. It makes me happy that they love when I make things for them to give out as gifts. Of course, they are my #1 fans. So we got 2 weeks left of the Christmas season, let's see how many other things I can make before the "big" day!

Happy Friday

Here is a Rock'N'Roll guiter purse I made. My sister came by last weekend to visit and it immediately caught her eye, so I gave it to her. I really spent alot of time on it. The paper mache purse was by Creative Imaginations and the paper was from Marah Johnson. I put epoxy glue on the guitar to give a dimensional look, and added glitter to the wings. The ribbon was added for a final touch.

I have a few more I made sitting on my shelve, I am wondering if I should just sell my designs on Esty.com???? I am going to mull over it a bit. I love making them, but I am on the fence about selling them. I find comfort giving my stuff away.

Ok! So I Am A Procrastinator.....You Think?

Oh My! Time has flown by. It has been forever since the last time I've updated my blog. I am raising my right hand, I promise not to let this much time pass us by ever again.

So, we are in December already, right smack in the middle of the Holiday season. I've been very busy as of late, trying to get this no job thing figured out. As it happens, when I have alot on my mind I do 1 of 2 things..................have an affair! That's with paper of course, and the other is take a long hot bath :-) and I've gone through alot of paper and a least a couple bottles of bubble bath...........LOL

My current paper affair is with this awesome paper I found at Hearts N Craft in Covina. I picked it up the last time I visited Los Angeles. Crazy me had no idea what I needed this paper for, but all I knew was, I HAD TO HAVE IT!

It is from the Basic Grey Christmas line called Wasill. So far I have made these 3, and I have tons of images stuck in my head just waiting for my hands to create the other designs. They need to be in the mail box by weeks end, if family & friends are to get one.

I really did miss blogging. I will see you tomorrow! Yes, I did say tomorrow. I've really have been in very creative spirits. I really can not wait to show you what I have made for the teacher's gifts this year. The boys are home as of Friday for 3 full weeks on Christmas vacation........YIKES!

Happy Halloween..........I have no projects to post today, but in honor of candy day I thought I would add a picture of my front door. I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween. Can't wait for the boys to come home with all the goodies ..........Bwahahahhahahaha.

Wow! It's been a while since I posted. I just recently made this thank you card, and loved the three dimensional look it has, this photos does not do it justice.

The paper and flowers are from Making Memories, the pearl brads are from K & Company, the stamp set is from Close To My Heart, and the ribbon from Maya. Hope you like it?

Today I am working on thank you mini cards to attach to the corsages for the whole football team's mothers for Saturdays championship game. The team's Mom called me and asked if I would help, naturally I said yes, and then she said all 5 of them will be at my house Friday to help with me attach to the flowers.....Yikes! Hate when this happens, I did not feel like hosting this in my home. Thank goodness everything is in order.......Wish me luck......I will post a picture of the finish product soon. .....Bye for now
