Hello

Life has been super busy and I have been working on 2 graduation albums, one wedding, a little girls album and 2 graduation albums for next years, plus I've been working on Project Life, cards and layouts. I also need to start on my Christmas tags for a swap I am in! I have been purchasing Emma's Stamps and dies from MY CREATIVE TIME! So love her stamps and dies. Trying to learn the new Silhouette Version 3! hope you enjoy this card made from an SVG Cuts file >

Hello

It has been a VERY long time since I last Posted. I have been traveling, Washington DC (for work), Hawaii to visit my Bestie for 2 weeks, to TN with a friend to go to the largest Scrapbook Store, I have also spent time with my Fab 4 girlfriends scrapping and shopping! We have started our own card swap with my Bestie and A dear friend who is stationed in Japan and a girlfriend in Ohio! My hubby is still looking for a job and going to school to be more educated. I have one daughter in college and working, and my other is taking time off from college trying to find employment. Follow my blog with Bloglovin Have a great day!

Laid Up

Well here I lay, as I have for the past two and a half weeks, with 5 more weeks before I return back to work. I can't do much because I had surgery on my right foot, so no driving, no standing or no dangling of my leg, I need to keep my foot elevated as much as I can. I know when I've overdone it because my foot swells, turns red, throbs and I get a shooting pain up my leg. Well my scrubby has my computer and my Cameo right next to the air mattress in the living room, so I can do scrapbooking or card making when I don't have anything to do.
This is also a hard time for me, because my BFF is getting married in Hawaii and I can't go or participate in any of the activities she has been doing. But a shout out to her wonderful friends there that have been helping her, they take pictures and make me feel as if I am there, even if it is in spirit and in my heart.
Here is Bella from My Scrap Chick, as a bride in honor of my beautiful BFF, Gwynn! I love you with all of my heart!
Enjoy!

Well, it is a chilly day here, and I am still in my Jammie's at 3:30 in the afternoon! I decided not to go to the gym today, and just relax. I went in my craft room, downloaded things on my Cameo, put things away. I made a card for Easter, only one, but I love it! I used "My Creative Time for Me" stamps by Emma? I love this stamp set!

Ok, I have been so bad about not blogging! My life has had twists and turns and I am so darn busy I can't scrap as much as I want to.
My hubby got a job, my sister got married, and I am trying to lose weight and do more with my husband and family, plus working full time.
I will get back within the next week or so.

Christmas party for my job!

Hello

Well I hope everyone has had a great Thanksgiving! I have had a busy day, I cleaned the kitchen, and went shopping, don't worry it was the grocery store, came home and made homemade chicken and dumplings and started on my matchbook album, I now have 3 done! I need to make about 4 more, but I may do a few tomorrow. I must say they are very fun, and to give credit, I watched a YouTube video by Kathy Orta, she is awesome!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Bread is rising to make homemade yeast rolls, green beens are prepped, bacon is cooked and corn is ready! We are spending Thanksgiving at my sister' s home. My Mom is making the Ham and Best stuffing in the world! My sister and her family are preparing the rest.
I was watching some YouTube videos this week and checking out one of my All Time Favorites "kathyorta" and she did a tutorial on a "Matchbook Album", all I can say is Love It! I got all of my supplies and last night after work, I went and did one! Yes, in less than one night I did an entire album!

Times are very tough here, my honey is now a full time student, so no extra income coming in from his old job(lost it, and SC is a right to work state, so they denied him unemployment) my eldest child is looking for a job, so I have my income, plus my hubby has some retirement income, look I ranted! The reason I am getting to all this is because we are not buying gifts this year! Yes, you heard right! I am making a few and giving my children a small amount of cash, I have managed to put aside, but that is it. I am blessed to have a wonderful family!

So, I wanted to show you what I have done. Now, I am going
to go back and write measurements out and such, but I really LOVE it! Thank you Kathy Orta for doing an awesome tutorial!

Thanksgiving

I can't believe how fast this year has been flying by! I did my "I am Thankful for" on facebook this week, went to a Wonderful "Thanksgiving Dinner" hosted by one of my co-workers, Tracy.
I am getting ready to start on my Christmas cards for friends and family( totally crazy! Different directions for each of them)
Have not purchased one Christmas gift! We are keeping it very simple this year, times are too tough, and my children and family understand(thank goodness).
Here is a Thankgiving card that I adore! Hope you do too!

Time to Scrap!

Hello, I hope everyone remembers today is Veterans Day, remember to thank the men and women of the Armed Forces for serving and protecting this great country of ours!
Well, I had a bad time sleeping last night, woke up at 4 and just stayed awake, so after feeding the animals and making myself a pot of coffee, I went and played on my Silouhette and my E2 and made a layout for a challenge for "My Creative Time for Me" (Emma's blog). Here it is, hope you enjoy!

Week is almost over and I've done nothing!

The week is almost over, and I still need to start on so many projects, and I've done nothing! I need to start on Thanksgiving cards, Christmas cards, make a few gifts for family, cards for a swap, and do something for a challenge. I plan to spend most of my day tomorrow doing all that, but I have no mojo! What's a girl to do?
I hope everyone has a fantastic day, and I hope to create! This is what one of the pages we created at S.H.E.A. For a Christmas paper bag album, my favorite page!

November is here

Well, November came in here to South Carolina quite cold, not as cold as our friends up north but none the less cold.
Not feeling up to par today, so I thought I would share a page or two from the paper bag Christmas album class I went to at Scrappin' Happily Ever After. Have a great day!

Weekends go by so fast!

Well the weekend is almost over, I spent Saturday morning at work, came home got in jammies and watched old movies on tv, Sunday I listened to a service on tv and then went to 'Scrappin' Happily Ever After' and made a Wonderful paper bag album! It is a Christmas one that Ivy the owner designed and we all did them, I really enjoyed it! This is the first one I have ever done and I can't wait to do another! Here is the cover, I will share more again.

Hey

Hope everyone is well! My BFF went back to Hawaii after a week long visit. We had so much fun and did a lot, but not tons of scrapbooking! We went to a huge scrapbook yard sale at my LSS, and we went to Folly Beach, the flea market, scrapbook classes, a 12 hour crop, and a card swap. We enjoyed our time together, but it went by way too fast!here is a 12x12 page I did for a challenge at the crop, no I did not win, but I still had a great time!

Busy!

Well, I woke up this morning, and while everyone was asleep I made a pot of Dunkin' Dounuts Pumpkin Spice coffee and spent time in my craft space. I turned on the tv and took out some molds and clay and made some roses, buttons a little girls dress and a little boys jumper. I then started working on my cards for two different card swaps, one that my BFF, Gwynn is hosting over at Two Peas and one for a swap at my LSS, Scrappin' Happily Ever After. I watched old shows like the Waltons and then spoke with my BFF on ooVoo for a bit. Hope you like the embellishments I made! The picture is a bit blurry, but I hope you can make them out.
