Blog Candy Time!

To celebrate joining the Savvy N' Sassy Design Team, I am giving away sweetness! And stay tuned to my blog, I plan on giving away a ribbon kit every month for the rest of this year! :D From Savvy N' Sassy of course!

You will get 24 sheets of MAMBI Sunshine papers, which include glittered and UV papers! (I don't know yet if these will be trimmed or not depending on shipping!) 120 centimetres of each ribbon, for a total of 360 centimetres of American Craft Ribbon, and 4 thank you stamps. The small ones are 3x3cm, "My deepst gratitude" is about 6.5x6.5cm and the "thank you very much" stamp is 6x7.5cm!

What do you need to do? Well all you need to do is leave a comment telling me what your favourite summer activity is! This is a good old fashioned pull your name from a hat draw, so for every person who you refer and they mention your name, you get an extra draw ticket! I'll see if we can set up our camera to record a "live" draw!!! :D You have until Saturday July 5th to post your comments!! Good luck!! :)

A few layouts from the crop

Here are some of the layouts that I scrapped over the weekend at the crop, this isn't even all of them!!! I am way too tired to write up anything about any of them, but feel free to ask questions, if you have any! :) The first one here the "paper" in the background is actually packaging from prima crystals, nifty eh?


A fave:
The C/S is covered in an old scarf:

My absolute fave, the picture makes my heart melt, and so does the word, "sniff!"

I love this one, the circle type border is inspired by Lori Mancini, DT at Just Cre8.

Scraplift from a blog, not sure where, it was a challenge.. "a little far east" or something?



There's some candy for your eyes. (I hope) :) If you want to see anything closer, just click on the image!

I have the best DH....

He knows how down I've been lately...and I'm really trying not to be for his sake. He always thinks that if he could do more, I would be happier...if he made more money, I could stay home...etc.

For about a week he has been working on a "secret" project. This is what he did, for me. He made this award, the "baw-baw" award:


"2008 Mumumum" What my 7 month old Alex calls me. :) How sweet is this?


The inscription at the top says, "Golden Baw Baw Award; Best Mumumum In A Nurturing Role"


It's so sweet that he worked on getting this together...and he gave it to me with tears in his eyes. He really worked hard on it, and he did it with love. I really, really do have the best partner that I could ever ask for. I wish I could do more for him.

My Scrap Space Part I

Well, first of all, thanks everyone for your encouraging words, I really appreciate it! I had a difficult day today, I am really depressed about the work/daycare situation. Because of the shortages, my options are limited. The spot available, may not be worth it... I will explain that in another post, maybe over the weekend.

Today, I just want to share some pics of my scraproom...well corner I guess...scrapbook nook? LOL. It's actually a corner of my living room, behind the large sofa. This post will be in several parts (teehee) because there is just too much to fit into one post...and if someone walks away with a good idea, hey!

Don't mind the white walls, we're renters. *sigh* Anyways, if you wanna see anything closer, as usual click on the pic!

Ok, I had a spice rack in my kitchen that NEVER got used. Seriously the parsley...had turned white. :o So I cleaned the jars out, reserved those for later...might need them? lol. Most of the spices I use come in a container that is just more convenient, anyways. Wasn't too sure what I was going to do with it...but then *click* I thought how awesome it would be to see my HS paints! There's 12 colours, so it worked out perfect! Check it out: This glass jar...is SO filled with goodness....you can't even SEE all the yummy ribbons..because this seriously holds like 12 litres..it's MASSIVE!!! I picked it up at Value Village last week for 5.99. It still has the Made in Romania sticker you can see on the left..hehe. I was actually looking for a cookbook, when I saw this in the corner of my eye...and I hummed and hawwed, cause 6 bucks, and I'm trying to be frugal....but you know what, it was a good deal! Jamie said just get it, cause you'll regret it later! (He knows me so well!) Another awesome find is this WAY COOL spice rack. At least I think that's what it's meant to be? It holds 6 of these air tight snap jars. I love this beyond belief. I've had it for a couple months now..it was holding different flowers, but I've reorganized all my flowers today. 4.99 at Salvation Army. What do you think, cool eh?

Here is a close up view, I've decided to put in all those Got Flowers? in them..you know the ones where we had to have a dozen jars of? Wow, Prima sure has come a long way!
Here is a view of that whole setup. It's on top of my hutch on my desk. Paints in the back, the FREAKING cool jars in front of it...then I have (a few) doodlebug sugar coating bottles in front of that, and then the stickles glitter glues in front of that.
This is the jar that held those ribbons in that GINORMOUS jar posted above, until today. This was such a score for me. 2.99 at Salvation Army. The ribbon is what I had in mind for it! Now it is full to the brim of primas...literally thousands, don't be fooled by it's size! It easily holds over 4 litres for sure! The primas are SQUISHED in there! :D
Now, the mm jar is recycled. It was the Love Story Embellishment Jar. I've stuffed as many of my mm buttons in there as it could hold. I have a little more of them, but that's all I'll get in there! The buttons are no longer up here with the flowers/paint/glitter. I changed my mind and keeping all my buttons together.
The cool jar, is from a candle. One of those large $10 ones at Walmart, it was tri coloured. I got the labels off by using an alcohol swab, and the rest of the icky wax, by turning it upside down in the sink and running hot water on it. The wax slid right out!
This is the small size of Dollarama square jar. It comes in 3 sizes. You can see how I used the large one for candy back in the February posts. This contains most of my mm florals/felt flowers.
Another candle jar! These things are so reusable, eh? I love this one, because of the awesome lid. It's a special jar. Jamie bought me a really nice candle when I was in the hospital as part of a little gift bag he brought for me. :) There are 2 boxes of Prima Essentials 3 in here! :O
Ok, I LOVE these little jars..soooo cute! .99 at Value Village! Hello, can you go wrong? This one holds 2 colours of prima sprites or something like that, you can see the yellow at the bottom, kaiser craft flowers in all colours and a hunkload of prima painterlies..oh yeh, I'm hooked on prima painterlies!

Another .99 jar! This one holds 2 packages of mm glitter flower clears. Love these little guys, and I need them out so I can remember to use them!
I couldn't resist grabbing one more .99 jar! lol I was giddy as I washed them, knowing they would hold little treasures. This one holds the large HS flowers, Bazzill flowers, Heidi Grace sparkly ones, and misc others.
Who would have thought! Using prima bottles to store flowers! LOL. The far left is a jar full of Dollarama felt flowers. There is 3 sets. The last 2 hold prima Heavenlies. I really wanted to cram the blue/pink in one jar...but they're a picky bunch!
I have 6 of these cute mm jars from an embellishment set. I've decided to recycle them for button use. This jar holds a set of MME Just Dreamy buttons, in Star Bright. I couldn't resist them after getting a few in my May Just Cre8 kit. An impulse buy, that I don't reccommend lest you need therapy after... $6.99 for 100 buttons! :S

Everything on the left side of my hutch:

The centre of my hutch:

The right side of my hutch:

Here is what the top of it looks like all together. Minus the buttons, I've moved those to another location. :) I wanted to keep my buttons together. I definitely need more buttons though!
Well, I hope you enjoyed seeing part of my scrapbook room! There will be more in the future.... but it sure is a lot of working taking the pics/uploading/posting!

Don't forget to check out your local thrift stores for awesome jars! I'm addicted to jars!

Have a great weekend! xoxox

Blah

Sometimes, I wonder why I blog...I don't really have readers, I guess I don't really "share" my blog either. *shrug* Nothing much to share today but some weight loss stuff.

Anyways, I had WW tonight...and for the first time in weeks I've done good. I think? I lost 2.8 pounds...so after 9 weeks, 10 if you wanna count the one I skipped I am down 4.4 pounds. Sick. Sad? lol. Anyways, I am lucky enough to have such a caring leader, and we've been emailing back and forth all week and we've discussed many a thing. I really did do well this week. I feel particularly motivated and inspired for the coming week.

Week 1: First Weigh In (UGH!)
Week 2: -2.4 (yay)
Week 3: +.2
Week 4: -1.4
Week 5: ? (My scale obsession sabotaged me, and I was too depressed to go)
Week 6: +4.0 (Ugh...everything went down the drain with my depression)
Week 7: -.4 (not much of a loss, but only tried half heartedly)
Week 8: -1.2 (Admittedly, I didn't try overly hard)
Week 9: 0 (A little better than half heartedly...but had a bit of a revelation thx to my leader!)
Week 10: -2.8!!!

Hurray for week 10. Despite the sad ups and downs, I've made it through 10 weeks, learned a lot about myself, and have committed to trying harder and working out more frequently. I'll admit it here, sometimes I am too lazy to work out and rather do other "sedentary" things.

So, after 10 weeks I've lost 4.4. There are 52 weeks in a year...so who knows I just may lose 25 pounds in a year.;) LOL

I'm thinking of starting a weight loss blog, where I can talk about this stuff. What I'm doing, feeling etc. I think it may be helpful for me.

Not much...

I guess, one could call it a quick layout...but I struggled with it for 2 days! Yes, this simple layout, took me two days! I was torn with what to do with it (before placing the title and it's heart). I wanted to embellish, but no matter what I got out of my stash, nothing went, nothing fit....so I added the title, hoped for a chipboard heart in my stash, and left it at that.

(click to enlarge)
Seeing it up on the computer, I feel good about it. Yes, it's simple...but that's how my layouts look best. I can't do really embellished. I need to give in to that fact.
The patterned papers and the chipboard train are all new stuff by Creative Imaginations. I got it in my secret sister swap. I probably wouldn't have picked it for myself, although I've toyed with getting it...and I am sooo glad my SS did get it for me! I actually picked this photo to go with the papers because of the colours in Alex's outfit. Then I realized, there was a chipboard train....and how perfect that he has trains in his little coming home outfit. :)
It's 1am, I'm starving...I have no points (weight watchers) but I think I'll go eat a handful of cauliflower. I must be demented! :)
Have a wonderful week!

A card and a layout

So, it would appear that I am having a great time with the June JustCre8 Kit. I am! I can't stop. I've done my fifth layout and now also a card! Part of the reason, is I'm trying to not spend as much money on scrap stuff...so I'm really using what I have. I had a cart full of stuff, and I just didn't get it. I have to focus on what's more important in my life right now. There was an awesome 2.5" scallop punch that I would have LOVED to have. But, just too much for me to spend, when I've put myself on this budget. *waaaahhhhh*

First, this card! It's going to be mailed off tomorrow to the rak recipient. :) The card is actually made using a divider from the cropper hopper paper holders. It was kind of fun to use, and different. I was worried about using my (tonic) trimmer on it, but it seemed to go ok..but I haven't tried cutting paper with it again, yet. Yikes! lol The little bits of bling are glued down piece by piece...wow, lots of work went into this card....I hope she likes it.

(click to enlarge)

Here is the 5th layout using the June kit. I also couldn't resist the cute alligator that came in the Jack embellishment box. Furthermore, I couldn't resist using the Pink Paislee thought bubble stamp...and then adding a little heart into it. :)

(click to enlarge)
The cute little chipboard hearts I got in a package from my secret sister today. They're part of a baby boy chipboard set by Creative Imaginations.
What you can't see on the layout is that the alligator, heart, 3 of the circles on the right, the centre of all the circles on the left are covered in mm glitter glaze, that came in the kit. :D I actually already had an opened bottle of it, well loved I must add...so a spare bottle will come in handy. :)

Enjoy your weekend!

Want to win a $50 GC???

Read on for details. ;)

This is the layout that I completed for the June Kit Challenge at Just Cre8. The challenge includes using the current kit and stamps. This months stamps were these awesome distressed alpha stamps. The challenge was to use 2 or more colour inks with the stamps. I used the 2 colours that came with the kit.

If you look at the rubon on the left hand side...the vine...see the white parts in it? Yeh...those aren't supposed to be there. The colour didn't RUB OFF the backing!!! WTH??? I guess I would be more upset if the layout didn't have the distressed look to it because of the paper. The rubons themself go on smoothly and are nice to work...maybe that one piece was a dud!

Anyway.... $50 worth of scrapbooking supplies??? You want??? LOL.
Lori over at Love Is In The Details has a challenge for you to make a layout using the ever popular chandelier!! Inspire her, upload your layout and you could win a $50 GC to the store!!! Pretty sweet! I'll admit I want to see chandelier layouts too, so the more the merrier. Check it out! :)

*smile*

Just wanted to share a layout I completed last night...again with the June JustCre8 kit. This one is a scraplift of the March CK cover. Jamie was so sweet when I had my surgery, he went and bought all the scrapbooking magazines he could find and brought them, because he didn't know which I would enjoy. ;)

(Click to view detail)
The other little extras (smile, strawberry, layered flowers) are from the new K&CO line Berry Sweet. I LOVE this line, and there are a few other things that I need to get, the owls and PP mainly. :o

Saturday, May 31, 2008

This is why....

I don't embellish a lot:
It just looks like the 2008 edition of "sticker sneeze." So, this is my failed attempt. This is a somewhat scraplift of Jennifer Johner...except mine is nowhere near as good as hers, or as cluttered. LOL.

I will hang my head in shame, and return to my simple layouts, and try to enjoy them. ;) Besides, the supplies last longer that way, right?

Oh...Jamie was so sweet, he bought me one of those mega pack of AC rubons today...a good title size, of a generic font...I love it. :) He's the greatest.

Orange you glad you came?

hahah jk! But, I really love the bright colours of this kit. I'm really loving orange lately. I had a hard time deciding whether to use orange or red for the background of this layout. Red would REALLY make it pop. But, I chose orange, because my eyes are green...but my right eye is 1/4 orange...well it's a shade of brown that looks orange, or something like that. So it looks kind of cool with orange paper. ;)

This layout, was a bit different. But, I couldn't wait to try out this paper...and doodle! The doodling is from an image that was on the other side of the paper...it was hard to cut into, knowing I would have loved to use both sides!

Buttons are clear 7gypsies, with a circle of WRMK paper underneath, doodlebug brads through the holes, and the whole thing coated in MM glitter glaze! Each of the large words is outlined in red. Thank goodness the gel pen didn't crap out on me!! (Click on layout to view detail)

Have a good Saturday, our plans were cancelled due to rain. I'll be off shortly to help my grandma hang some curtains and move some furniture!

June Is In!


My June kit got here yesterday, but I didn't have a chance to play with it! I am scrapbooking now, kinda. I guess I'm having trouble getting into the groove. All that anxiety, maybe. I must first say about this kit, that I LOVE the digital elements. I wish I had a colour printer to print them off on to use with this kit. They're awesome. I love getting these in the kit every month, and at some point...I'll have to try my hand at hybrid again, with all these awesome digital extras!
Again, like last month...I already had the Frenzy paper LOL! That's alright, I love paper! Lots of good and fun stuff to play with here...so hopefully, after the first page, the rest come easy! Ah, and this months stamps ROCK!!!
A final, interesting note....I was telling Jamie how I don't love my stuff, I see people who have sooo much stuff and it looks good, and I just can't get there. My stuff is too simple. He said, "If you saw this online, you would love it in it's simplicity...you'll just never be happy enough with your own stuff." Well, I guess it's kind of true. Although, I won't admit I'm good. lol

Kara

My little girl is a whole hand...she's 5! On May 24, it happened. WAAAAHHH! Soon she will be off to Kindergarten, and a whole new adventure will have begun. Where does this time go?

Tonight, was her recital. She looked absolutely beautiful. It was hard to catch her with a smile though. Whenever I ask her to smile, she fakes it!!! That girl! :) I'm so proud of her, she did wonderfully.

I love you my girl! :)

Tuesday, May 27, 2008

*sigh*

I really feel like I'm being a downer, but not looking for sympathy...just expressing how I feel.

I lost 1.2 pounds at ww today. Although, I'm not really celebrating that as a success....due to stress, anxiety and depression...I haven't been eating well. I'm going to try and do better this week....get back to exercising, lift my spirits a bit.

I've kind of made a decision to stop scrapbooking. This isn't something that's going to happen immediately. I'm going to scrapbook, until I don't have anything to scrapbook with...run out of product sort of. I'll be left with a lot of paper etc. and stuff...I'll probably let the kids use it for crafts, if there is anything worth selling/rakking I will. There's something that I want a little more than books filled with embellishments, sitting on a shelf, unappreciated, never to be looked at. It's like wallpapering my walls with money.

Alex was completely awful today. I had no one to talk to, I couldn't even get a hold of Jamie. I seriously felt like I was going to throw a tantrum. What else was I supposed to do. It was him screaming for 3 hours straight...no consolation.

I have a lot of things to get organized for the summer still, so I need to get on that. Can you imagine a meal plan for the whole summer..all the meals/snacks? 4 crazy kids...you kind of have to. :S I'm just off now to peruse some sites for WW meals to plan this weeks meal plan.

ETA: I will keep on with my JustCre8 kits, as I have a 12 month committment to those! Besides, I already said no shopping for 2009... so I will probably buy little things here and there... until then.

How do you deal with stress?

Monday, May 26, 2008

Get Happy!

I'll admit...which you can probably figure out by my last post that I've been feeling pretty down on myself. It has been somewhat helpful sending out some happiness to people too. I love this paper...and I wish I felt as happy as the paper looks!


What *is* that little guy poking his head out? I dunno...but he's there instead of the letter B, and that's good enough for me.

Blatherings

People. Don't you sometimes wish people would just judge you for who you are, who you really are. Not what you have been? Not that I've ever really been anything bad. lol. I've never intentionally hurt someone...I'm kind of generally too nice, which means people will try and walk all over me. It's not like I don't realize it, or anything...sometimes I just let it happen, because I couldn't be bothered trying to impress anyone. I guess what I mean is being judged on an incident or something dumb. Anyways, this makes no sense. I guess people, generally don't get me. I think they don't want to. That's alright I guess, I'm generally a loner. I like being with people, but I think I like being alone more.

Weight Watchers. has not been going well for me at all. I did lose .4 last week. I don't really know why I'm struggling. Especially when I stay on points. Last go around, the pounds were falling off of me so fast I thought I was sick. Now I can't lose it. I'd like to blame it on my gall bladder surgery, but that's a lame excuse. Maybe, metabolism after childbirth is slow to get going. So, here I am trying to persist, feeling almost as if I am being mocked by the scale.

Scrapbooking. Not really getting much of that done. For several reasons. Lack of creativity for one. Impeding sense of doom. (ie. mat leave will soon come to an end.) The warm weather. Guilt? I'm trying so hard to be the perfect mom. Dumb. I'm stressed. For once, I feel like my house is immaculate though. I feel like I'm nesting? Maybe, I'm pregnant...which would explain not losing weight, a clean house, and still no period? No. I'm not. I think. Probably.

More on the scrapbooking thing. I think often if I should just sell all of my stuff and get a new hobby. I don't know if I love this as much as I once used to. I don't feel creative, I don't feel connected with like-minded people, I second guess myself, it's expensive and maybe the money could be better spent? There is so many things that go through my mind. It almost appears that shopping for the supplies is the biggest addiction. I have a solution. I'll put myself on a budget. I've never done that before. Scary. :S Then I'll try something even scarier....I'll quit buying stuff for a year. That's kind of my goal for next year. I have way too much stuff...way more than I would ever use in a lifetime. Well, a lot of it is paper, but still, my layouts are simplistic. We'll see what happens in half a year.

Enough blabbing about life. Next post will be about something craft related.

Tuesday, May 20, 2008

Hey, Hey, My, My!

Oops. It's been a while since I've been here. I've been keeping pretty busy, and I even had a layout sitting on my desk collecting dust for like 2 weeks. Yep,there was dust...and to make matters worse, I used the mm Chelsea's paper with flocking on it. Do you know how fun it is to get dust out of that? Not very.

I got a new haircut. I've been needing one. I wasn't going to until I got to my 10 percent goal...but I haven't been doing great, and I needed a pick me up. I don't think it really helped though. Here is what it kind of looks like...


...but it's awkward to take a self portrait with a...... Canon Rebel XTi 10.1 megapixel camera!!!!!! Yup, that was my mother's day gift. I am so stoked! I've taken close to a thousand pics now. *blush* I also got a blackberry...but best of all I got a fabulous carousel, or ferris wheel thingy that holds pics. Jamie actually used rubons and some old mm metal embellies to create it for me! I will get pics up, but apparently mine weren't good enough *eyeroll* so they got deleted!

I leave you with a layout. All products from the May Just Cre8 kit. The only thing extra I used were an Autumn Leaves stamp to make the corners. Yup, ink included in the kit. ;) Sorry about the horrible scan. :( I think my scanner is going kaputski...because the layouts are getting worse and worse in quality. :/

TIP: If you don't have a sewing machine, use your paper piercer to make holes. Use a pen to make the "stitches" and it looks a lot like you sewed on your layout! :) (I have a sewing machine, I'm just too lazy to have to go to another room, rethread it to the colour I need....etc)

Have a great day! :)

Mother's Day Eve

I already got my gift, and it's freaking fantastic. :) I will share on Sunday...but today I just wanna blab! A little. So you know I'm still alive!

I've had a layout sitting on my desk for a week now, it actually had DUST on it!! *blush* I am working on finishing that up tonight..but the internet is sooo distracting! teehee.

Tomorrow, Jamie is working until 2, and he has explicitly instructed I must vaccate the premesis when he gets home, because him and DS (6 months on Mother's Day) are busy working on something!! *giggle* I can't wait!

So, I'm actually excited to just get out tomorrow and get to some thrift shops. I am on the prowl for some vintage children's book, and a copy of Alice in Wonderland.

I am obsessed with Alice, and all things wonderland...and not the Disney version..but the whole idea of the magical place. It all started when I started buying this retro colour tealy green stuff at Winner's (there is a US equivalent store just can't remember the name) with the name "tea with alice." Cute, right? So, now I have my heart set on decorating Wonderland style!!! Not Disney style..but think colours and teacups etc. It sounds corny...but in my mind wonderful...and not tacky. It will be tough. It will be vintagey Alice.... so I'm looking to collect tea tins, and I'll be making some funky art, and a nifty chandelier. ;) But, it won't be for this house...so it's kind of all in the planning stages...in my mind! Does anyone here have Alice in Wonderland type stuff? Tea stuff?? Getting rid of it? :D

Vintage children's books. I am obsessed with vintage. Really. Lately it's vintage paper/cutouts etc. I NEED!!! *sigh* How badly... Hope to come across something tomorrow!

Anyways, I leave you with a layout, just in case you get bored reading all this stuff!!!



This was done using a pagemaps Sketch. FP papers and felt, We R Memory Keepers chipboard "you" and some DB frills, and one beautifully gorgeous son. :)

xo!

Scrap Night

Every month end, you know that time all of our CP delivery guys fear...I anticipate the arrival of my JC kit! Well, I've made 2 layouts with it tonight. I'm not fond of the other so much, but I love this layout...I toyed around with embellishing it a bit more, but in the end, I decided it's well enough as it is. So, in honour of Mother's Day...here I am with my youngest son.

See that brad in the centre? The orange one? That is a bazzill brad...covered in cardstock... SOOO cute, I couldn't resist using some JC stamps on it. I must locate me some more of these..they are toooo fun to work with!

Have a great weekend, all!! :)
