OK PEOPLE LISTEN UP!!!

I have decided that today.... Sundays i guess.....I will post some of my random inspirations. why you ask? cus everyone else is doing it and we all might learn something!!!!
Heres number one. These are amazing and AHEM if any of you know me IRL you could maybe slip one of these my way in june for my birthday(I'll get back to you with my ring size:)Carissa is actually the inspiration piece and one of my super many favs.....Im gonna make paper look like this one day this week(wish me luck!) Im on a big messy paint kick this month. I have been painting in my kitchen(i like to stand up to paint!) ok back on topic now......Number Two This card rocks my socks! I made it on a crazy 1 AM card making frenzy the other day. I love the colors and texture and the pattern. I just love everything about it. Paper: Bazzil, Creative Imaginations, Ribbon: ??? I dont know but i hope i have more, Tag: Embossed tag from prima i think? I painted it with making memories paint and then covered it with ultra thick embossing powder 2 times to get that orange peel texture then added a rub on by Jenni Bowlin with was slightly difficult but i worked it out LOL. These are currently my fav colors so thats where the inspiration is for you:)

Last but not least I believe that everyone should branch out and try something new so check out the galleries here and pick something that you have never tried before and do it!!! Jenn I challenge you to make clay buttons(and some for me) You know you want to :) I hope you guys find something useful in these inspirations. if i can get a pic of it Ill show you the craziest inspiration piece or should i say building!!!! I made the coolest lo from it :) Have fun making stuff!!!

Just for Mrs. Moody......This is the album I made my Grandma for her birthday on March 13Th!!! Love you the most grandma!!!!!! You can click on the image to make it larger. BEWARE If you can read the journaling.....It WILL make you cry, you have been warned!!! I didn't edit the pics btw so get over it lol ;) All pattered paper is from Jenni Bowlin I love it. Don't really have much else to say about it at 1 am ha ha. I have been scrapbooking allot....I will share some soon. I'm takin a break from card making.....well kinda I do still have a bunch to share with my bloggin buddies. What else???? Oh ya, Thanks to everyone for the well wishes with my new job. I LOVE IT!!! I even made a new friend HI JENN!!! I really like it did i mention that yet???? It has really helped to fuel my creative fire.....tomorrow im croppin from 10 AM till 12 AM 6 of those hours im working though lol. I am super excited....Did I tell you I love my job? Ok ya i did :) Enough for today.

Tinkering around

I love how this layout turned out. All of the paper is from tinkering ink!! Possibly one of my favorite lines right now!!! The side images were cut with the nestabilities, and doodled on with a gel pen. I actually hand wrote the journaling.....um ya I hate my handwriting so this is a big deal. Even if you can see it in the picture you prob still cant read it LOL. It says: Up, up, and away we go.....To Vegas baby!!! This is Jeff and I at dfw airport in feb 07. We're going to stay at Nico's condo cus I won a Halloween contest! Jeff is sleepy from working the night before and I am ready to gamble!!! I brought max my teddy bear, some mags, and my Ipod and camera. Jeff brought his portable DVD player and ipod with him. were ready for a great trip.

Ok so the journaling is messy and not necessarily magical writing, but its a big step for me. Since i read Ali Edwards book Life artist, I have felt a renewed spirit for scrap booking our memories. I want to remember small things like this forever!!!! Hope you enjoyed the lo!!! I'm typing in a ton of stuff on blogger tonight so be ready :) I hope to be sharing more on a regular basis. My life is finally starting to calm down after sickness and mayhem the past month. Oh ya......I GOT A JOB AT A SCRAPBOOK STORE!!!!!!! yes I know Its a dream job, and I am so happy!!!! Hopefully life will go back on the up swing now! Harmony.....I'm still working on it :) ******I just realized that only one picture is showing up, so i readded the other one. So While your reading this ( and im sleeping lol) I have a feeling there will be three pics instead of 2 cus blogger hates me :( Ill try and fix it again tomorrow if i can!!!!

Ok now that thats over with :) I am way behind and I apologize!!!!! Melanie You won last weeks challenge....Just email me your address and Your goodies will be on their way!!! Here is the first of my 10 min cards. I am going to a crop tonight and I plan to make a BUNCH more to post tonight :) fingers crossed I will actually be awake enough to do it!!! I also plan on scrapping some tonight which I havent done in a while. Its my first true love and I feel bad that I havent been doing it!! I recently read Ali Edwards Life Artist, I absolutly loved it. It renewed my spirit and reminded me of what was really important in my crafting life!!!! The card was made with thickers by American Crafts, Bazzil cardstock, some christmas ribbon from Michaels, Prima flowers, a button, and some left over patterned paper(dasiy D's) from an altered thing im making for my BFF swap with my 2 buddies. I stamped a background image on the cs with Tim Holtz embossing ink but it faded away???? Any one else ever had that problem???? The stamping not showing up kinda threw the cards balance off so im gonna have to fix it. I figured it would be like versamark but alas it was not :( Ok i gotta finish packing for my crop.......I'm gonna keep repeating "I will post when I get home" over and over LOL Lata buddies!!!!!!! CRAP spell check still isnt working!!!!!!!!!! BOO ON BLOGGER GET IT FIXED!!!!!!!!! I cant spell for nothin :)

Challenge on THurs OOPS

Todays "wed challenge" is to create a card in 15 min. I went to a crop this past weekend and some scrappers were asking about cardmaking, to prove how easy it was I made a simple thank you card to match the altered project I had been working on that night. It took me all of about 10 min to make. Later on I was looking at the card, and I realized with a few changes the card could go from cute to WOW so I spent another 10 min on it. Mind you this was a few days later!! You dont have to revamp your card at all, Just make a quick card to remind yourself that youre in this hobby for the fun not to toil away for hours on one card!!! I will post my org. card along with my 10 min "revamped" version later today(Im waiting on a light box that I ordered to get here!!!) This challenge is open to any one that reads my blog. Just link to your card (or cards) in the comments and on wed I will pick a winner!!!! Have fun..........CREATE something today!!!!
