Latest "Play"

This is just me playing with alcohol inks and the lift ink, which is SO cool.  But I also like AI on tiles!  And don't spend $15 at Michaels for 6 tiles, go to Home Depot, Lowes, whatev and get them for about ten cents a piece.

This is what years of neglect can do!

When we became grandparents for the first time (we hope more to follow!) I decided to get back into scrapbooking.  What a mess my poor little scrapbook room had become!  Remember my binders of stamps?  I was so proud!  Thought I was so organized!  Yeah well, had started an index but never finished it and as I bought more stamps they would just get thrown in any old way.  Plus, all the kits that were still "together" had stamps in them.  Pages in Progress had stamps in them.  Started buying CTMH stamps (thank you Martha!) and they went in boxes.  Don't even ask about the foam and wood mounted stamps I still have!!!

Get my drift?

So yeah, pulled them all out of from 'wherever' and here we are.  Really thought there were more but those binders are full and that purple box under neath is also full.

You see those plastic bins that are empty?  I'm about to put all the stamps in those and get them in one spot.  Hmmm yeah I know, there are some folders poking up in the lot.  I'm thinking they will get the leftover bins.  The bins are from Dollar Tree, One Dollar Each!!! Yeah Baby!

And then I'll also be logging them all into Evernote.  You HAVE to check that out on youtube.  Best way to keep track of your crafty stuff.

Back later!

I'M ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, finally, finally, after all these years I have managed to regain access to my blog!  Just in time too as we have a new little fella to scrap about! Tristan!  More to come so stay tuned.

Saturday Market

My editing software died on me!!! Finally have something new, but the picture is not that great to begin with, too much camera flash going on, may attempt a better shot later.

It was a fun day though!!!

Star Snacks

By popular demand:

There!

I thought I had already scrapped these! Well Craig wanted to see where the Masters happens every year so off we went. Only we couldn't get in. And ya can't see much from the road! But he tried to climb the fence. I just KNEW the police would get us LOL!

Do you OSU gals remember the kit swap a few years ago? We each picked paper and made tags, journaling cards, put together coordinates, etc.? Well this is one that Marinka did and I love it! Urban Lily.

Hey Craig if you want to try again I can probably get practice day tickets for next April.

Georgia Retreat Challenges!

Yes, there will be more to come, but just HAD to share our challenges Tara tortured us, er, treated us to! Great job ladies.

Monochromatic




Handmade Flowers - three of us had already put these lovelies to use before the picture was made, but I think you get the idea. It may be the first time I've tried it!


Altered Board!! This was my FAVORITE! I'll be hanging this in my scrapbook room (or as soon as I move the hanger to the right side....).



Sketch Challenge - the original was a two-page sketch but some of us "squished" it into one page. All are great I think. How about you?


The challenges were fun! Normally I don't do challenges very well, but these had me scrapping more than I usually do at a crop.

It was AWESOME to actually meet Tara (our hostess with the mostest) and Ryann and of course to see Barbara again!!!! We will definitely do this again. Good eats, lots of chocolate, lots of movies, ice cream and no drama!

Ok ok, here's a few more pics:






Yep, TEN movies.
