Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

So how are you spending your holiday today?

This morning, since it's a rainy day, I took Brandon to the local Children's Museum. It is awesome! It was my first time there. We spent the morning there and then went to McD's for lunch. He had a blast!

This afternoon I dug out some of my goodies from Archivers I bought a few weeks ago. I bought these awesome mini blank clipboards where the clip is totally removable! I also bought this really cool clear stamp set. I am not a big fan of big stamps, but this one was way too much fun to pass up. I created this mini clipboard to hang up at work. I have a ton of more ideas to do with both these products! I just need time. I am a very slow crafter. I think about things too much sometimes and re-do stuff a lot!

I hope your scrapbooking day is wonderful and that you are always having fun creating! That is what it's all about. Check out your local scrapbook stores or online stores for some great deals this weekend.

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

The Craft Cave!

Happy Friday! Thank goodness it's Friday!!!!

Here are some pictures of what my work area looks like! I posted that hallway picture again to show you what it looks like around the left corner when you walk in. My family calls this room "The Craft Cave" because it's hidden and where I like to hide! I sit facing a large bay window with a window seat in front of it. I will take some more detailed photos this weekend to show you. I have some cool things and organizational tips.

Have a super day!

Rough Day

This week has not been the greatest, especially yesterday. I made a really stupid mistake at work but it turned out ok. Then Brandon, my two year old, cried all the way home from the sitters because he wanted to eat another yogurt there. At age 2, everything is such a big deal! Then I get home and the husband gets mad at me. Ever feel like you can't win????

So I buried myself in my craft room and made this. Very simple, but it's the best I could do at the time. It looks better in person. I still need to brush up on my photo editing skills. Anyways, the recipe is Doodlebug buttons and Stampin Up! rub-ons. I used thread for the bow to just keep it soft like the rub-ons. The paper is scraps from my stash I pieced together.

Today will hopefully be better. Have a great one!

If you are a blog expert, e-mail me please! I have questions!!!!

Have a good day!

Altered Composition Book

Just a quick post today. I'm not feeling the greatest. It's gotta be allergies.

My nephews 6th birthday is this week so I asked him what he would like for his birthday. He loves to practice writing. I asked him if he would like a special notebook to practice in. Which much excitement, he answered "yes"! I had a couple composition notebooks I bought at Wal-Mart last year during the back-to-school sale, when they were 50 cents. Can't beat that! I had in my stash this very boy-like themed patterned paper from Reminisce - Genuine Boy collection. I also had a sheet of these matching jumbo stickers. I used one to put "Ryan's Notes" on. The letters are rub-ons from Heidi Swapp. The little star embellishments to the left I've had forever. I don't remember where they are from, but they went well with this paper. I sure hope he likes it! I also got him some cool pencils, swimming trunks, and a race track to go with it. I love to spoil my nephews! They are so cute and sweet!

Later.

Beate's Weekend Sketch WSC #45

It's that time again! Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge. For some reason today, I had a really hard time putting something together. My small window of time (my son's nap time) puts the pressure on too.

This morning I played outside with my son for a couple hours. It was beautiful out! Then I mowed the lawn for the first time this year. I love to mow. After sitting in an office all week, it's great to get some fresh air and some alone time. Then I made lunch and my son is soundly sleeping.

I made this card for the challenge. It utilizes two SU! sets - Furnished with Love and Definitely Decorative Daisy. I used my Versamark pad for the background flowers. I had the ribbon in my stash. It's from Michaels.

My sister-in-law came for a short visit yesterday and slept at our house last night. We are the only ones with a guest room in the family. Our guest room is a good size and has it's own bathroom. The fun thing about that room is it's also my craft room! You can't tell from the hallway, which is what I planned. I can leave out all my stuff and nobody can see the mess!

Stay tuned . . . more craft room pictures to come!

Have a great weekend!

Beautiful Monday!

I started out my Monday by hitting AC Moore! They had a 55% off coupon in the newspaper yesterday. You can always find something to get with that kind of coupon. I needed a large acrylic block for a new stamp set I got at Archivers yesterday, so this coupon came in handy!

I had some scraps leftover from the layout I posted the other day. My nephews birthday is a week away and he loves dinosaurs, so I thought he might like this card! The paper is from Reminisce and the stamps from Studio G.

I played a little bit this morning with Fun Flock by Stampendous. Ever hear of it? It is so cool!!!! I bought white because I had bunnies and snowmen in mind for it's use. It's a powder that fluffs up and is fuzzy when you sprinkle it on adhesive - I used glue. I will make something with it soon and try to capture the texture in the photo. If you have dog or cat stamps, this would be great to fill it in with! It comes in all kinds of colors.

Ok, my day off is almost over and it's beautiful outside. I'm going out! Have a super Monday!
