Got some more fun projects . This first one is an address book from Traditions Studio. You can decorate or slide a picture in. The paper and tags are Basic Grey.
I figured I could put some tags on the inside to put your name and address in case it gets lost or just little notes.

Here is an adorable clipboard. The clipboard is Melissa Frances, papers and Elmo character are EK Success.
Another from the BE Line from Creative Imaginations. This is a wine holder. Paper, Bo Bunny; Ink, Tim Holtz
Thanks for looking!

I wanted to post these the other day, but was having some technical difficulties. Some more yummy stuff for the Fall Festival. It was a success we raised over $500.00. (which is a record for us) It keeps getting better each year.

MUHAHAHAHAHAHA! I just finished my pumpkin for the Fall Festival at work. The teachers are challenged to decorate a pumpkin and the kids and parents get to vote.
More Design Team stuff. Another purse from the BE Line. The pp are Cosmo Cricket. A little paint on the top from Making Memories.
I LOVE this little case!! It is SO cute. The papers are My Minds Eye, Ribbon:May Art, Crystal:Westrim.

I can't wait to see their faces when I turn in all the new goodies. I think they look great!
TFL!

I noticed on Tammy's blog that she is having problems with people snatching her pictures off of her blog. Eventhough I'm not as big as her (I can say that I'm her stalker :) lol ) I thought it might be smart to start marking some of my things. This is a new DT project. The clutch is from Creative Imaginations, BE line. The paper is Cosmo Cricket. I thought it turned out adorable.

Since I am stuck home with a swollen face (I refuse to leave the house) from my oral surgery I have been trying to get some projects done. This little box is for the Fall Festival at work on Tuesday. Due to the glare you can't see where it says Sweet Angel. Aren't all these tags AWESOME??? I had to brag about the ladies that I swap with. I am on an online swap group called Swappin' Divas (MSN Group) This was two of the swaps that I just got. (small tags and large tags) I am loving these ladies and all the hard work they put into their creations.

Here is the other set that I did from Creative Imaginations. (They also have family, love, travel, create and I think a few others.) I'll look next time I am there.


PP: My Mind's Eye, Flowers:Prima and MME, Ribbon: May Art, Paint and brads: Making Memories, Buttons. You can't tell but in the bottom picture there are brads in the centers of all the flowers of the G. I thought it made it cute.

Here are my first projects for the design team. This is the new BE line by Creative Imaginations. I loved how I was able to make 2 different projects out of one board.
PP: Basic Grey, Lily Kate; Flowers: Prima; Ribbon:May Arts; Letter Stickers: Provo Craft; Paint:Making Memories
The clothespin was a fun project. I made the slide with chipboard and covered it. PP: Basic Grey, LilyKate; Paint: Making Memories; Letter Stickers: Provo Craft; Ribbon: May Art
Sorry for the bad picture, I had to shoot it at the store since I forgot to take a picture before I turned it in. All the same PP, Ribbon, Stickers. The tag is a stamp from Stampin' Up that says: A baby is cuddles and tickles on toes. The sweet scent of powder and a kiss on the nose.

Wanted to add some new Halloween stuff I have been working on. Hopefully I will have some time this weekend to sit down and get some other stuff finished up. I got the email today that I have been accepted to the design team at the Scrapbook Factory in O'Fallon. I am SO excited!
Saw a similar pumpkin in the Paper Trends magazine by Lisa Dorsey and thought it was beautiful. So here is my version. Went to Michael's and picked up a craft pumpkin (Currently on sale, even better!) I used papers from KI Memories, Reminisce, BoBunny. Some Liquitex acrylic gel medium and Viola! A wonderful fall creation. I am still on a search for the perfect ribbon for a bow on top.
This little sign I also got at Michael's (yes, on sale also) The papers are from Around the Block, the stickers are Making Memories, inked the edges with some Tim Holtz. Thanks for checking it out!

Is this not the MOST ADORABLE little monster you ever did see? Yeah I think so too. I shot these the other day when we were having picture day at work. The lady went off to talk to the boss and since Reed was already climbing all over the table I sat him down and finished off the roll. You just gotta love him.

There has been a little helper in my room this weekend. He is getting so good with scissors. He is ahead of most of the kids in his class.
Another spooky Halloween card. I love love love this holiday! Paper Heidi Grace
I decided to try something new. So here is my very first matchbook card. Paper Junkitz, Flower and brad: Making Memories, Staples: Fastenator - Thank you I have decided that I need to figure out a way to incorporate his beautiful paintings into my pages or make him another mini book. He LOVES to get into my supplies. He is so creative. I can say with pride. HE GOT THAT FROM ME, LOL.
The rain has come WOOHOO. We need it. I have to think about getting ready to head out. Wish me luck!

Ever since I decided to go out for 2 design teams, I have tried to push myself to make atleast 1 project a day. Some days would just be ideas, but a lot has actually come to paper and look Marvelous![I'm not gonna throw in a Billy Crystal type reference here :) ] Well today is the day for the Design Team tryout at Scrapbook Factory. And these are a few things I will be taking with me. I hope they like them.
Around the picture it says. [Top] You are our... [Right] whole life [Left] Pride and joy [Bottom] Reed '06 *Paper: Basic Grey, Chipboard Letters: Scenic Route, Stickers: Wordsworth, Heart: Heidi Swapp, Paint: Making Memories*

I had SO much fun with this little box. I think you might be able to tell by the amount of glitter that is currently on the floor. :) *Paper: Heidi Grace, Ribbon: May Arts, Chipboard Accent: KI Memories, Box: Michael's*

I came across a similar box posted on 2peas. It seems they did something like this at the Creative Escape Retreat with Heidi Swapp. ( http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/mb.asp?cmd=display&thread_id=1949630 )
I started this J back when I did that Altered Letter Swap with the Divas. I put the paper on and then it just sat on my table. Well I LOVE it now. And will hang it up when I get back today. *Paper:Basic Grey, Flowers: Heidi Swapp, Paint: Making Memories, Ink: Ranger, Ribbon & Book Plate: Unknown
I have a couple more things to share. Be back in a bit

I just got the letter yesterday. I have been asked to join Phi Theta Kappa at the college! I am pretty excited. Now Art is calling me "Nerdette". I have also joined the Visual Arts Club. I should have done all of this years ago, but oh well, no better time than now!
I am also preparing to go for a Design Team Tryout on Sunday. Wish me luck!!

The chill is in the air and I am feeling the Halloween urges already. lol. If you know me well, you know that All Hallow's Eve is my favorite holiday. I love the colors and the temperatures. I have started planning the Fall Festival at work which has also gotten me in the holiday cheer :) So since I got to come home early today (worked OT yesterday) I got to working and made this adorable Halloween bag. I think I will make them for Reed's class party.
Paper: AMM, Stamp: Stampendous, Ink: VersaColor, Ribbon: May Arts

Speaking of storms, check out this wall cloud that I shot while on my way home. I am just in awe of the size of it. You should have seen the looks I got when I pulled off the road and took this picture.

I made this card for my grandpa's birthday. I used KI Memories paper and a sweet quote from the PeaSoup on 2Peas.
I made this card for the Card Swap on Swappin' Divas. I got the idea from Paper Crafts magazine. They have the how-to on their website. Super easy and an Awesome Card. I used Making Memories paint(honeydew), Bat Mask : Heidi Swapp and ribbon from Michaels.
I did this one for my grandparent's wedding anniversary. This card is actually based off of one of the new Becky Fleck's sketches (www.pagemaps.com) The paper is Sweetwater (thanks to Tammy for turning me onto it!) and flowers are Primas. Just some ribbon I have laying around.

My grandparents live by a horse farm. So after the celebrations we took a walk to see all the beautiful animals. I love horses. My cousins call this beautiful Palimino, Surfer Dude. And I just loved the way the group picture looked. They started walking up to take cover from an upcoming storm.

This is one of my swaps at Swappin' Divas. A 12 Months Book. Each one of us does a month and then we swap them, to make a complete book. I can't wait to see everyones. Paper:Rusty Pickle, Cardstock: Bazzill.
I did this for my desk at work. After a major hunt for the right letters, I think it turned out wonderful. Letters are Rusty Pickle, Papers: Basic Grey, Flowers: Heidi Swapp, Ribbon: May Arts
I saw a similar clip in a magazine, and thought that this would be a great teacher gift. I got the clip from Oriental Trading. Papers are Karen Foster and Christina Cole ( I hope I spelled that right)

More to come!

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for being a blog slacker. There has been lots going on. Relatives from Texas came in and then The Scrapbook Tour and lots of swap to catch up on. We also had Art's dad's Memorial Race yesterday. It is part of the county fair. So I thought I would share a couple pics. What is a county fair without funnel cakes and rides, LOL.
Thanks for looking
