Croppin in Mott

I got to spend some time scrapbooking on Friday.  YEAH!!!! While I was at one of David’s basketball games last week, one of the other player’s Moms asked me about photography.  She, Rachel, had noticed my Nevada License Plate (ITAKPIX) and asked what I take pictures of.  This got us talking about photography…she shoots Nikon [...]

Quilting

This is a quilt.  This is a quilt that is the sized for hanging on the wall. This particular quilt is framed in wood and is hanging on a wall…the wall of a quilt store Sonya and I found in Hettinger. Prior to the Fair, I’d never seen a quilt like this in my life. [...]

97

No, that isn’t some obscure reference to “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. It’s the number of scrapbooking page kits and mini albums that I priced for the yard sale today. Mark your calendars…my big MOVING sale will be Saturday, April 18th.  Time still needs to be determined. Lots of scrapbook supplies to be had [...]

Garage Sale Prep

Sorry for the lousy photo quality.  I was trying to make it easy and used my phone to take the photo rather than one of the decent cameras. So, to make my life easier, I decided that I was only going to touch stuff once.  Whatever I touch in the “getting ready to move” process [...]

Being a Scrapbooker can save time and money…sort of

LOL – As a scrapbooker I save EVERYTHING! Literally everything that can go on a scrapbook page is saved. Which was a time and money saver today! My pal, Luis and his nephew Jorge, are here doing some repairs around the house. Let me tell you about Luis! He is a phenominal general contractor/handy-man that [...]

Bri’s Valentine

I think it’s safe to post pictures of the Valentine I did for Brian.  I don’t think there is any chance he will see these pics before he get’s his box of Valentine goodies. I found a cute chipboard mailbox by Maya Road that came with a 12-page chipboard album in the shape of a [...]

Creations

I’m a dork…as usual.  I was running so late getting Christmas presents finished that I neglected to take pictures of any of them.  While I was at Mom’s the other day, I did get off a few snaps of a couple of the items I made, so I thought I would post them here. Above [...]

Cricut Expression & Cricut Design Studio

So I have a Cricut Expression.  For those unfamiliar with the “pinnacle” of die cutting machines, it takes a cartridge that is pre-programmed for numerous shapes and letters in varying sizes for use in a multitude of materials (paper, vinyl, fabric, etc). I’ve not had much time to play with it since I’m STILL trying [...]

Campaign for Creativity

Not sure about you…but I need all the help I can get to be more creative in just about every aspect of my life.  This is geared more towards a person’s artistic side, but it’s amazing how thinking “outside of the box” can help in every area of your life.  Be Creative!

Road Trip, Scrapbook USA Expo, and LONGGG weekend

I’m writing from my newly organized scrapbook room.  I haven’t spent much time in my scrapbook room lately because, a) it was a DISASTER, and b) I haven’t been in the mood to deal with it.  Well, that all changed recently. Due to the economic crisis the family is having a “homemade” Christmas.  So I [...]
