A Few Challenges

I got to participate even just the tiniest bit on a Mimi Crop being held at www.mommysavers.com

The first challenge I accepted was to make a page with the entire immediate family in it. I chose to use some pictures from a trip to Lapham Peak in October.



The next challenge was to use 3 of these items in a page or card:
scallops*
eyelets*
brads
paperclip
bling*
something recycled





Then the last one that I was able to complete since it is such a nice day out is a Fathers day card

I Cleaned the Dungeon

Can you believe it? I went to the Dollar Tree and pick up a few little baskets and stackables and set off to get my scrap area cleaned up.



First is the shelf that houses my magazines, Cuttlebug stuff, Cricut stuff, Punches and other miscellaneous. I moved my glitter and embossing powder and tried to place stuff into the baskets and stackables so that it was not just loose on the shelf.

Here is the shelf before:



And After:



My table is a disaster waiting to happen. It is a catchall for anything that comes it's way. I wanted to have more open space with less clutter. I moved all of my paper to one end and then left enough room for me to have for scrapping.

Before: (OMG it is HORRIBLE!)




After: (Ahhh much better!)




This shelf had a lot of stuff moved off the top and I added all of my embellishment boxes, stamps, and sticker binders there. And the cart next to it has all of the stamp sets that I have.




This is my paper area:



and the paper holder that I made out of used Priority Boxes it fits my 12 x 12 papers perfectly!



And all of my 4 1/2 paper stacks that I am addicted too!




Ribbon is on a spool and then crammed in a big jar:





So I am exhausted after that but really think that I need to get some challenges done for the crop at Mommysavers.

Zzzzzzzzz

Glitter Fun

I think that I really like glitter today. Almost every one of my projects had it in it.

This one is a challenge to alter a button. I used my white journaling pen to make polka dots on the buttons and of course a little glitter...







And a cute little card for whatever occasion this one I am using for birthday.

Just As Promised

Ok so just as promised I am going to post some of the projects that I have been doing for an online crop I am in on www.mommysavers.com

This first one is for a challenge to use a title on a photo. This is a page about my sweet sister Melissa with Down's Syndrome

Challenge was to use a Tag:



Close up of Tag:



This next one is a voting challenge. Do a card and a page without pictures. The page came out very shiny in the picture and there are fingerprints all over the shiny paper. Oh well. The page is for the pictures of Ashlynn playing Guitar Hero on the Wii. It is one of her favorite games.



I love how the card turned out. I would love a birthday cake like that!



Hopefully I can get some more down this weekend. It has been so nice out that I hate the thought of being inside. We shall see.....

Where Have I Been??

I am going to make a promise that I get some projects done this week. There is a crop going on at www.mommysavers.com/boards that I am hoping to participate in, even if it is for a little bit.

So stay tuned.....
