Live your Dreams

I got to make some cards this afternoon cause I had the day off to get a tooth fixed this morning. I got this stamp yesterday and I love it!! When I first saw it in the new mini I did not think I would want it but the more stuff I have seen made with it the more I wanted it. I love how simple it is to come up with ideas with is. But Tart and Tangy is still my fav from the mini. On two of the cards I used the Sketch Challenge from last week. I tried out different embellishments on them and I think I like the pearl card better.

Supplies I used:
Card One:
Live Your Dreams set, Pretty Petal Background
Really Rust, Mellow Moss, River Rock
Really Rust, Garden Green Markers
Close to Cocoa, Mellow Moss Ink
River Rock Ribbon

Supplies I used:
Card Two and Three

My Class Space

Here is another reason I have not gotten to stamp much in the last two weeks. I have a storage room behind my scrapbook room that I clean up recently. So we have been fixing it up for me to have a place for my classes and also have friends over to crop.
Last weekend I get an e-mail that on of my favorite scrapbook stores is closing. They were selling their fixtures so my hubby rushed me into the car to go and check it out. I got these wonderful baskets for $4 and they hold tons of ribbon about 28 regular spools. I purchased five that they had empty and when I saw how great they worked I went and got five more that they will give me when they are empty. I also got three paper racks!! I have one now and can get the other two when they sale the paper in them. I picked up the pegs for the sticker sheets at Wal-mart. Oh and I also got two open front baskets for $3 to hold prima flowers and buttons in bags. We got the peg board at Lowes and we got it all put up last Sunday afternoon. All together the peg board storage we put together cost around $60. This will hold all the ribbon and stickers I could ever get. A year and a half ago I got two Craft Lockers and paid $40 each for them and filled them up as soon as I got home. Anything I had left or purchased since has been in tubs. So I am thrilled to finally have some place to put all my ribbon out so I can see what I have. I will now use the Craft Lockers for my SU ribbon so it is right beside my work area when I am getting ready for classes and stamp camps.
We hung some bright curtains to hind the storage I had left. My uncle and aunt gave us the table two weeks ago when they moved into their new home. The ladies that came to my last class like the soft chairs. When I have bigger classes or stamp camps I will put out a large folded table and folding chairs. We plan to paint this summer so the walls are not grey and dull. The shelves use to be used for toys but in the clean-up I got rid of a lot of toys so I now use it for stamp sets and stuff. I really love this space and I am so thankful for my husband!! He loves to help me fix up my stuff and does not mind shopping with me sometimes.

Thanks for Visiting!! Have a great Weekend!!!

Sorry I have not Posted

I wanted to let everyone know that I am still here just to busy to scrap and post. I took a second job in the afternoon at Raceland 21st Cnetury after school. So I go to work in the mornings (normally 7:30) at Russell Primary and work in the cafeteria ( I have worked there for eight years) and then I come home grab a shower and clean-up then go over to Raceland and work 3:00-6:00 Monday -Thursday. Needless to stay I don't have a lot of time to stamp those day and when I do my hubby has the lap top and I don't get to post. We also purchased a motorcycle this week and Jerry wants me to go out with him on it. I will hopefully have some new stuff Sunday afternoon to show. Be patient with me cause this second job will be over for this school year the end of May and I will have the whole summer to create!! I hope to get hired on again this fall because I love the after school program. The kids are great and I really like all the people I work with. The program is awesome!! I work with third graders. I get to do art and craft for enrichment!! How cool is that!!

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful weekend!!!

Autumn’s Baby Pictures

I have been off this week for Spring Break and have enjoyed getting some projects done. One of them was these three pages I completed for my Mother-in-Laws (Judy) book. I had a lot of pictures with everyone holding Autumn so I ended up with a three page spread. I guess I have been really into orange and pink lately. I found some doodle bug paper with orange and pink stripes and it went from there. The large pink button in the middle of the orange flower was from a sweater that belonged to Judy’s mom, my daughters Great Grandmother. They gave me her sweater after she passed away and I used it until it had holes in it. I took all the buttons off and I am saving them for special pages. I don’t think the pictures of the completed pages are all that great and may replace them tomorrow.

A New Little Someone stamp set
Only Orange, Pixie and Passion Pinks Doodle Bug Design paper
Basic Grey ink
Prima flowers, buttons
