BOO!!

Happy Halloween everyone!! Here is a really cute layout I did at the Scrap en Masse Megacrop. Hope you like it. Have a fun and safe Halloween!

Don't you just love these little wiggly eyes!

It's Monday!

Well, a much better Monday than last week. I think I have finally beaten this bug that is going around. As promised here are a few pics of what I have done lately. I have to get my but in gear as I am getting behind. I am going to try to get some of my UFO's finished this week. I need to keep my nose to the grindstone, but it is so easy for me to get distracted!!!!!!

I think these are really cute and were very easy to make. My family loves to get either gift certificates or $$$ for Christmas. These are about 10 in. long. I am going to put coloured tissue in the stockings peeking out the top and then place the gift card and envelope sticking out the top along with the tissue paper. I think it is a great presentation and better than handing someone an envelope. They are decorated with 2 bells on the side and I pinned a little sparkly snowflake on the band. I used lace for the band on the angel stocking and red felt on the Santa one. Don't you just love the vintage look!

Another vintagae memory box, the post card on the top of the box is a Melissa Frances postcard kit I bought at the CKC convention in Buffalo last May.

Vintage Memory Box

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, I was fighting a nasty cold all week and spent most of my time snoozing on the sofa, but all is well now. I had a fun day today, I did a canvas class today at my LSS with "Diva Steph" We made 2 canvases in Christmas / Winter theme. It was a blast!! I felt like I was back in Kindergarten squishing modge podge around the canvas with my hands. What fun! Should have them finished in a day or so, have to get a couple of 5 x 7's printed. I love doing altered projects so this was right up my alley. As promised here are some pics of the vintage memory box I made at the mega crop last weekend. The pics really do not do it justice, it is much prettier when you see it in person.

I have to take pics of a few other things I made there and will post them tomorrow.

OOPS! The vines on the top are bent all out of shape, forgot to fan them out. The buttons are really pretty they are the American Craft buttons that have a beautiful sheen and sparkle to them, too bad they don't show up on the pic.

SEM Mega Crop

OMG! what a crop. I attended the Scrap en Masse mega crop in Alfred on Saturday with 7 of my scrapping buddies. Let me tell you, this is one event to make sure you attend next year. Jossee and her staff did an amazing job. There were 100 plus scrappers and everything went smoothly. She had over $3,000. in terrific prizes and wouldn't you know it my friend Linda won 3 prizes. There was plenty of room for each scrapper. She held 3 different classes during the crop and they were all full. I took the Halloween layout using my mind's eye papers and it is a hoot! I will finish it up tomorrow and take a pic. She had part of her store at the crop and had some great items. I just loved the SEI Christmas paper line and she had some really different PRIMA flowers. I was a good girl and hardly spent any money. The food was amazing, I think I gained a few pounds. All in all I had a great time but I am sooooooo tired! I will post pics in a couple of days of what I accomplished at the crop.

........my two front teeth!

I just had to share this adorable pic of my precious grandson and my DIL. He lost his 2 front teeth on Thanksgiving weekend. I guess Aidan will sing "All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth". You can bet I will be scrapping this page in the very near future.

Happy Turkey Day!

I want to wish all my scrappin buddies a very Happy Thanksgiving! We are laying low, even though it is just Randy and I here a nice plump turkey is cooking in the oven. I just love turkey and pumkin pie! I better go put on loose pants!!!!!

Will post a couple of Christmas goodies that I am finishing up. Hope to post them tomorrow or Tuesday.

Busy Busy!

I was reminded yesterday by a good friend of mine that I had not posted in a few days. Yikes! where do the days go. So here we go! Last weekend went to a 2 day crop at my LSS. As usual had a lot of fun. I actually completed 2 altered albums and started on some Christmas card/tags. Yesterday went to my scrappin buddy Linda's for a scrapbook afternoon and got a lot done. Today no playing for me, I have errands to run, turkey to buy, extra groceries for Thanksgiving weekend and of course a quick stop at the scrapbook store.

Here are some pics!

Enjoy!

Gals scrappin!

Scrappin Pal Nancy aka "Hello Kitty"

What happens at the crop stays at the crop!!!!

The above pics are of a really girly mini album made of Webster Pages Carte Postale 6 x 6 papers and a memory box to match. As you can tell I just love making little boxes to match the mini albums.

The pics below are of a little book I made to put those special family recipes in that are tried and true.


Look at the adorable small brass fork and knife. My friend Nancy picked those up for me when she was travelling. I am very fortunate that my core of scrappin pals are so great, we tend to do this for each other quite often.

The above pics are of the little Christmas album I made last week. They are also made from Webster Pages line. The pics just do not do it any justice, it is really beautiful in real.

Thanks for looking!
