Christmas 2002

Here is another trivia ?  Do you know what paper this is??  Cloud 9-you guessed it!!  I just had to use ribbon and then I went Stickle crazy--how amazing the l/0 looks after using the differ color Stickles.  Now I see I will have to have all the colors!!  Alexis was so little in this l/0-she is only 2 yrs old.  Oh, how time flies--she is 7 yrs old 

Christmas 2004

Do you recognize this paper??  It's Basic Grey Dasher line!! Yes, I hand cut again--I think I am addicted.  I used 4 differ papers from that line-yes, hand cut those too!!  Love IT!!

Almost the last day of the year

Hey bloggers, it's Tuesday night, Dec 30--OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!  Can you believe it??  I am wondering where the time went to and already starting thinking of what I have planned for next year.  Well, I am off to a good start.  I just changed my blog--by myself--thank you very much!!!  HA!!!  I even added the map and counter all by myself!!  Wendy, Monica and Connie--aren't you proud!!  

I have another 2 l/o's to share and getting more organizing done--wait till you see what I did with my Stickles!!  Lisa G, now I know why you are so addicted to Stickles!!!!   

I wish everyone a safe and happy new year and may you scrap till you drop!!  

Happy Scrappin'

Powder Pink Christmas 2003

It is Saturday evening and it is storming outside and I am thinking how relaxing the sound of raindrops are with my Barbara Streisand playing on my computer and I finished another l/o.   Oh, how great life is right now!!  I am on a mission to catch up on pics of Alexis with Santa and her dancing @ Acadiana Village the past 2 years.  

She was so cute all in pink with her pink puffy muffler in these pics-she was only 2 yrs old.  I used some old Scenic Route paper, Hambly rub ons, Fancy Pants chipboard, Prima bling and journaling card.  

Alexis's first touch of snow

good evening scrappers!!Monday has come and gone and with all the things it did today-- I am really in a fabulous mood to stay up late again (till 1:30 every night since Friday).  My mom, Alexis (the only neice) and myself.  We continued our cookie baking tradition at my house.  I lit the fireplace to make it warm and toasty while we were like elves in the Fournet bakery. Alexis even was able to use her x-mas cookie cuter to make just enough for all the guests coming to my house on Christmas day.  

Here is another l/o I completed today--- oh, a l/0 in one day must be a new record!  I only had 3 pics which were NOT taken by me so this is what I had to work with!!  My sister new that she had to have pics taken-she now knows the importance of Nanny taking pics of any event!!  I used a new way to work with riboon, and got to love those basic gray rub ons.  I put them on my title ghost letters, Prima flowers and Techinque Tuesday chipboard.  I inked some with Versamagic Coffee bean and LAST but not least ----bling and the Robin's Nest pebbles for the center of the flowers.  Did you notice that  I HANDCUT another scroll from the Bohemian line from MME and used Prima bling to pizzazzzzzzz it some more.  Hope you like it!  

Alexis and Nanny

Alex's First Hair Cut

Well, I have finally completed this l/0.  Yes, look very carefully, I HAND CUT (no exacto knife) the scrolls!!!  This was Bizous paper and I have been dying to use it so here it is.  I do love hand cutting--did you know that???  I used some old flower brads, flowers, ribbon and Robin's Nest pebbles for the inside of the flowers and added dimension on the polka dot ribbon.  Do you recognize the puzzle pieces?   I told Connie that this was going to be my first l/0 with "white space"  HA!!!! DIDN'T HAPPEN, oh well, I guess I will have to do it on another l/o.   Treasured Memories received some of the Tim Holtz tools that I have been waiting forever for--yes, I bought all 3 and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them.  thanks, janet!!

I have been on an organizing extravaganza--Monica, you will be so proud but I think I am out of control!!  I have another day off tomorrow so after my mom, Alexis and I finish baking syrup cookies--yum, yum, I will begin another l/o unless I found something else to organize!  I will take more pics of my room soon --since I have already done more stuff.

Have a fabulous week and may every scrapper have a great holiday and take many pics.  

I also want to send out a special thank you to all of you who have taken my classes this year.  I really love teaching and really appreciate you taking my classes.  I hope to bring you some really cool stuff in the new year!

Project for my scrapbook room

I used a 12 x12 frame to put together the "M" project.  I just love it and it was a great way to use some of the many alphabets I have "in stock"! Ha! Ha!  It is now hanging in my new scrapbook room.

Organizing my new Circuit Cartiridges

Yet, here is another organizing tip.  This idea comes from Lori in Monroe!  She was ever so nice to share this great idea!  Since I am a new owner of a Circuit Expression, I just had to "scraplift" her idea!!  I handmade the folder to separate each cartridge and store the cartridges in the bottom part of the container!  Of Course, I have not made the tabs for the folders yet but that is my last step! Of course, they will be in alphabetical order and will match the pink divider folders!     

Organizing my inks!

I have been in an organizing mode all weekend and here is another little option.  If you are like me--how aggravated do you get searching for the right color ink??  I printed all the names of my Tim Holtz Distress Inks, inked the tags and glued them onto the case so that I can read what color each case is, know what the color looks like and find it with ease! Yipee!!!!!!!!!!!    I am so excited I did this!!  

More and more organization

I created this bulletin board for my new scraproom.  I painted it black and added ribbon, flowers and bling! I hung it under my cabinets! I just love it! I almost hated to put things on it!!

Hey Scrapbook world!!!  it's been awhile since I blogged--I just seem to find other things to do or organizing my large  inventory of scrapbooking things!!!!  Maybe one day-I will be talented like Monica and Wendy and have blogs fancy like theirs!!! Monica i have some more organizing tips to share!!!! 

I want to send out a very special holiday cheer to everyone and may you have less stress, take great pics and don't over eat and be miserable!!  Yes, you know I had to add that little health piece of advice!!  So here is another tip---think twice, eat once!!!  Ask yourself do you really NEED that second serving???

Thanks to everyone who views my blog.  I have been working on another l/o and can you believe it is an intricate piece of hand cutting???? Imagine that????????I should be posting it soon!
