Digi Scrappin

Oh My... I am addicted to purchasing digital scrapbooking kits!!!
Thank goodness they are less than 5$ each! But I love the colors, the flowers, and the 3d effects they have. I have no idea what to do with them but seem to enjoy collecting them!

I have a beautiful kit that i just got tonight from the shabby shoppe.

Do you digi scrap?
I am trying to make a banner, and blinkie... and really need help!

I have a website on blogger of course, brewing for some fun. I can't wait to get things going... but i really want a nice banner first... Can you help?


I was a bit lazy today. What else is new ? LOL - I watched America's Next Top Model, ran some errands and waited for phone calls from the car dealership. I played online and visited Pencil Lines. What amazing sketches and artists they have on this site. Have you visited lately?

I started a group on facebook called Creative Scrappers ... come join us!
It's just for fun!

Hope all is well... Tomorrow is Friday! WOOHOO!!!

Talk Soon!

Wacky Wednesday!

greetings!

My back is much better today... although I still walk around funny atleast I can now bend over! It's all good.. part of growing older right LOL!!?

It was a beautiful day today, I had a nice visit with my friend Princess Pamela! We went for a nice walk with the dog and had a great chat session. She's such a sweetie, and with such a big heart! ( hugs Pammy!)

I also got an email from Basic Grey that my layout was chosen for there online gallery ! WOOHOO!!! that's the one of steve and I just a few posts ago... called Soul Mates. That was a nice email today! Things like that are always exciting.

We are in the final stages of a new vehicle! Youpee... I really can't wait. It will be so nice to drive around in something a bit more realiable and finally we can do a few road trips! YOUPEE!!!!

what else do i have to share...

well i did get a message yesterday from a fellow scrap friend. She didn't seem to happy about me posting that i was done with my local scrapbook store and shopping elsewhere and posting on my blog.

First I would like to say that I decided to leave my LSS for personal reasons and needed time to do other things. Second of all... i think i should be able able to shop at another scrap store and post on my blog that i did. Regardless of where I purchase my scrap supplies and post here doesn't mean i am 'nasty'. I hope you understand that i have blog readers from everywhere and not only from saint john ... and posting that i shop elsewhere really shouldn't be an issue. As Scrappers we have soooo many wonderful stores to chose from... and i don't think i did anything wrong! My opinion....
I am still a scrapbooker and since i am not employed at this present time with anyone, i am allowed to post where i shop and what is a Great deal to Me.
Hope this clarifies a few things! I need my paper fix you know ! LOL!!!

I just received a message from my scrap friend Gabrielle and Daisy D has a blog contest on right now click here for info!

talk soon!

Addicted to Scrapbooking ...

You Know You're Addicted to Scrapbooking If...

-When you reach into your purse, your family scatters - they think you are reaching for that dreaded camera!
-You see something metal in a parking lot or on the floor and you go back to pick it up. It turns out to be some sort of buckle/pop tab type of thing, so you pop it in your pocket, and think - yeah, I can put some ribbon through that.
-You purchase every scrap magazine that hits the shelf, even though more than half the layouts in some are NOT your style.
-You dream about layouts or crops.
-You buy scrapbook "stuff" and have no idea how you are going to use it but think, "I will use it someday."
-When you start scanning kids clothes because they would make great inspiration for a scrapbook page.
-When you spend all day at work/school sketching layouts instead of working/studying.
-You know you're addicted when you find an awesome piece of paper and actually DRESS your child up for pictures in clothes to MATCH THE PAPER.
-You know you're addicted when your husband runs into the local eatery yelling "I need water....my truck's on fire!" And your first response is, "WAIT! I have the camera!"
-You plan vacations around scrapbook stores or drive 175 miles to a scrapbook store.

A Sunny Day...

It's Sunday!
What a beautiful day it is ... again. I love sunny mornings don't you?!
Eddie is out playing around, Steve is still in bed... late night watching the UFC Fight and I am getting ready for work. Yes... Work on a Sunday!
I hope it's not busy and I can finish a bit early. It's sooo nice that it's hard to be sitting in an office but Sunday's are pretty easy going at work so either way... It's a good day!

I finished a layout last night .. playing around with some new Basic Grey. I really love these colors ... now one complaint - Basic Grey really needs to make there papers double sided. So many companies have double sided papers and it's like 2 sheets for the same price and so versitile. So please Basic Grey ... consider double sided?!

It's time for some new photos... but i still love this picture of Steve and I.

Did I tell you I got a Shout Out for a layout at Scrap Fan?! WOOHOO! Thanks girls !!!!
I also got Layout of the Day on Thursday at Grace's!

Well, I am off to work. Have a Great Sunny Day!

It's SPRING !!!!

Oh my... what a beautiful sunny day here in Southern New Brunswick.

Steve and I enjoyed the day sitting in our chairs in the backyard. I can close my eyes and listen to the sound of ... nothing.
For hours, I can just sit there and watch the clouds go by.. how nice and relaxing that is. I love spring... no humidity, no hot sticky weather ... the perennials are peaking thru the dirt and ready to grow for another season. mmmm......

I went shopping online today for some scrap supplies... oh my please stop me now!

Pink Paisley.. I think this is going to be one of my fav lines... .... oh my .... i really need help!

Scrap goodies are sooooo fun.

I finished a few layouts today....

One is of Miss Megan and the other of Eddie!
Miss Megan was so sick on this picture, an ear infection, a runny nose, lack of sleep for about 7 days, 2 doses of antibiotics and a black eye from falling down. oh poor thing... and yet she's still so sweet and smiling!

this is Eddie... my pretty kitty!

I might have to retake these pictures cause they aren't showcasing well. the colors are really not good.

I also wanted to send out a { thank you } to the wonderful ladies that emailed me this week... words of encouragement and also kind words of support. I won't forget that!

that's all for tonight!
oh ... just fyi.. my etsy shop asn't been opened yet. If you are checking to see what i have listed.. it's not up yet!!!! Maybe tomorrow or next week... I will keep you posted and thanks for asking!

2 Peas Gallery

I finally finished uploading " ALL " my layouts and altered projects in my 2 peas gallery! YOUPEE!!! I can't believe all the little albums that i've made over the past 2 years. My gallery is open for public viewing if you wish to take a peak!

I also completed this little calendar today... so cute! Easy to make and cost less than 3$! Great to use up those scraps ... try it!

My brother in Law and my dad went to the Montreal vs Boston Hockey Game on Saturday night... this is my brother in law posing so happily!

I did some gardening today, cleaned up some of the perennials that are growing such as the bleeding heart and some day lilies. I can't wait to start taking some garden pictures with our new camera and of course sitting in the backyard with a corona enjoying the sunshine with Steve. It's hard to believe that Northern New Brunswick still has snow... it's certainly Spring here and loving every minute of it ...except when Steve and I have to start spring cleaning in this house... yuck I hate cleaning!
Maybe if i open the windows and the patio doors the dust will fly away !??!?! LOL!!!

Chow for now!

Super Sunday!

It was a good day today. I got to sleep in till .. um I am not even gonna write it down here... but it was close to lunch time. I went to bed late last night cause i was scrappin my heart out and well this morning I woke up late!
I went to a Stampin Up Party today with Kim- such fun. We actually made a piece of pattern paper with ink and shaving cream. Really easy and fun.
>Simply get yourself a piece of glossy paper ( photo paper would work )
>Put shaving cream in paper plate

>Add drops of Ink
>place glossy side of paper in shaving cream

>wipe off with paper towel...

( Natalie i can totally see you do this ! )

In January I joined a group of 12 ladies and each month we take turns to host a Stampin Up party. My party will be taking place on May 18th!
If you'd like to join us please email me! We'd love to have you!
We will be making an altered candle!

This is the album I finished last night:
Rusty Pickle Album and Basic Grey papers
It is sooooo much fun to play with acrylic albums... Have you tried these yet? if not you should... don't be scared! Just do it!!!

I also finished this round Scenic Route Album using Grafton Papers.
The Album is called " Sun, Sand, Surf " A wonderful little book for those beach pictures!

These altered albums are so much fun. Don't be afraid to give it a go!

I also opened my own Etsy Shop today. Have you seen the stuff on this site? wow some people have talent! >> I have a few projects that I am willing to part with and try to sell on here. Since I don't have kids and my nieces have more than there fair share of layouts and altered albums... i must part with a few projects.

Big Brother will be on soon. Hubby is taking a nap and relaxing. I am just browsing site and enjoying some quiet time. I can even hear Eddie and Steve snoring! HAHAHH!

On that note... That's all for tonight,

Fun Fridays!

I had the day off today and enjoyed some sunshine. Eddie went outside to play twice today and I did a bit of cleaning around the house. I can't believe how much dust is flying around here... YUCK!
So the hardwood stairs have been shined... a bit slippery but they look nice! The laundry is done, the dishes are done... wowzers!

I didn't do any scrappin today, I actually tried to organize my layout gallery at 2peas.com ... i had no idea how many layouts I had.. Oh My!
Next I will be uploading some altered items that haven't been posted yet. I just like to have a gallery where all my layouts are posted in case my computer decides to crash someday I will have a backup of my layouts.
Do you have an online gallery ? I hope so. It's a great way to store your stuff for safe keeping!

Tomorrow is Sat and I must work.. yuckie! Steve has the day off to enjoy and I must go to work. I hope it's not busy or maybe I will be lucky and finish early.... and did i hear SNOW is in the forecast???? I hope not.
I am so anxious to get out and play in the garden. The Perenials are calling my name. Steve and I have so much to do in the garden this year... but it's quality time we enjoy together, which is really nice and rewarding too. Are you a gardener?

Well.. time to run!
