Melissa's Scrap Spot

Melissa recently won an online auction at Let's Capture Our Memories - the auction was a new blog makeover. I was extremely happy to help Tanya raise funds for her daughters trip to Florida and thrilled that Melissa won.

This kit from Kristin Cronin Barrow is totally gorgeous!

I love the colors, and the embellishments such as the metal frame...
a great focal point on Melissa's header.

A few Pages & A Tote!

Good afternoon!
Well I finally took a few minutes today to photograph some of my recent projects. I was lucky enough to attend a crop this past Saturday and finished 3 layouts, a tote, and started a canvas album. I still haven't unpacked all my supplies and my scrapbook room is a serious mess. I hope tonight hubby watches hockey so i can spend a few hours cleaning this place.

I had a fabulous time on Saturday with my scrap chicks Stephanie & Chantal. We got a little rowdy around 6pm and Chantal started playing some tunes from her iphone.... yup... and we started signing and dancing in our chairs... Oh My! i think Stephie was a bit annoyed and a few others... and i do apologize but it was just so much fun... ;-))

This is what we sang... about 11 times !! hahaha!!!
PINK - RAISE YOUR GLASS

Scraptures Reveal

Good Morning!

It's reveal day at Scraptures today!
I am lucky enough to be a guest designer for the month of January and truly loved playing with these Glitz Papers.

Glitz is a paper collection I've never really played with.. not sure why maybe the bright patterns scared me away but i really LOVE that they are double sided and one side of these papers works for me ;-)
The Scraptures kit is yummy too... i think Denise has about 2 kits left if you are interested .. hurry! CLICK HERE to PURCHASE!
My reveal for you today ... and I must admit I really enjoyed the Glimmer Glaze in this kit. I never used it before and I love how it stays shinny on my pages ;-) I'll be getting more for sure.





That's my reveal for you today!

Don't forget Scraptures is hosting an online crop to celebrate their 1 year anniversary
January 21-23 2011.... come join us !!!

Thanks for Visiting ;-)

Altered Tote Bags

I started something a few weeks ago.. maybe months ago I don't remember ... but I've fallen in love with creating these tote bags!!
I get these wonderful tote bags ... fairly inexpensive about 8-16$ each and decorate them with bling and flowers... it's really easy and fun to make.. the only trick is getting good adhesive to stick .. but so far so good... mine have stayed.

A few of these were donated to a high school twirl girl ( that sounds good! hee) doing fundraising for a twirl parade in Florida this February. If you are interested in one of these tote bags and wish to support Emily on her quest to Florida you can CLICK HERE <<< I also have a kit for sale where you can make your own. A few more will be added later ;-) you can check LCOM or my blog for details and of course Emily thanks you for your support.

This last one is my moms.... so not for sale!
Isn't this just lovely? I love them... and working on a Jean Tote bag next!

Scrapper Caz
