No Scrapping Wed. But.....

We will definately be at the Friday Night Crop at Craft Fancy.  Join us if you can.  Call to sign up before Thursday.

Cool Crisp Fall

I'm loving our sunny days we're having right now.  Doesn't seem so much like November.  But Thanksgiving is just around the corner.   EEEK then comes YOU KNOW WHAT.......   We are scrapping Wednesday!   I know I have so many things to work on for swaps I can't figure out where to begin.  Hope to see you!

Spooky Scrapping!

A little inspiration for this final week of scrapping before Halloween.  We get a few more days to work on all our goodies

Spoooooooky!

I love these little guys they are so cute!  We are scrapping Wed. bring your latest project and get ready to get to work.

Also if your interested we are planning on attending the October Crop at Craft Fancy!  Why not join us for some fun?

Rest REst REST!!!!

Rest up for scrapping this Wednesday we're going to get together as usual and work on all of our outstanding projects.  Including starting our Halloween Swap Tags.  We have 5 people signed up but your packets have 6 tags so no worries one can be just of you or in case you make a mistake(I know we don't make mistakes!). 

Christine yours is coming in the mail this week.

Nan yours is at the store on the back counter with your name on it.

Hope to see you!

Halloween Is Coming! SERIOUSLY PEOPLE!

It is and will come and go faster than we think!  So at this late date I propose a chipboard mini album/tag page swap to start using up some of those Halloween items we've been stashing away!  Don't say your not stashing these adorable goodies because I know you are, and BUDDY I totally am!  HA

So here's how it will go down.  This will be a small swap we'll limit it to max 6 players.  When you sign up I will give you 6 chipboard tags(they will be small as to not overwhelm).  You will decorate both sides of the chipboard Halloweenie inspired.  Each tag should have 1 journaling area, a pocket, at least one item 3D and fibers and or ribbon.   I also challenge you to add some Bling to the project and will give everyone including BLING a little prize.  Each page should be similar in layout and design.  When the swap ends you will get back 1 of your own pages and a max of 5 other pages to create your mini book or you could use these as tags on goodies for the holiday.  Sounds fun right!  I know I'm excited! So we'll have a short sign up deadline as I'll probably start calling people telling them to sign up shortly!   HA  Deadline to sign up 9/27/10.   Tags should be to me by 10/20/10 and I will get them back to you by 10/22/10.  Which is by the way the crop at CraftFancy we are attending everyone is invited to come and play!  Just contact the store to sign up!

Ok so on that note we are scrapping this week so I hope to see you all working on your latest projects!

"Lightbulb"

Ok so my children love to say "lightbulb" when they have an idea.  It's very funny.  What is not funny is my jones for these lightbulp pendants.  I must put a light like this in my house somehwere.  I'm currently obsessed with The Brass Petal blog by Emily the new Design Star.

 I digress I meant to say we are scrapping this Wed.  and Happy Labor Day!  Hopefully this link and photo will inspire you to jones for something......I mean, to create!

Back to School & Back to Scrapping!

Wouldn't this make a lovely classroom?  A grown up classroom?

Well even if we can't have this space to work in we can get together and work.  A bit later this week though I have a parent orientation at school until 7:15 so say around 7:30ish.  Hope to see you.

Ahhhhh Midsummer!

Ahhhhh a relaxing evening at home!  Well with friends working around the table!  Or maybe in the Gazebo?  If Only!  So we're scrapping this week!  Hope to see you!

MMMMMM Coool And Yummy!

It's getting hot and steamy out there!  Ice Cream Inspiration will cool us down though!  YUM-O  So hopefully we can all be inspired by something cool and creamy this week when we Scrap!  

Hope to see you those that started Christmas cards should bring them to finish up this week!

Ready to hang out?

We're scrapping this week.  The challenge is to add some greenery to your project.  Leaves, plants, flowers, trees, grass etc. etc. etc.   It's that time of year everything is green and lush we can reflect that in our Art!

Hope to see you Wednesday!

Sunny Sunny Day!

 

Finally it's sunny and summer!  To that end we are Scrapping this Wednesday!  Bring a Summery Fun Project to work on!  WOOOOO HOOOOO!

Finally the Pool Boy delivered the drinks!

I know I know I'm behind!  I'm sorry!  I so love the bright summery colors in this photo.  Is that my mumu I see sitting over there?  Hmmmmmmm.   Anyway it's time to get to work tonight maybe we can create with these colors!!!!!

Happy Memorial Day! Better Late Than Never!

We had some cool ocean breezes!!!!!  I think I would put my scrap table right there between the couches!  Talk about inspiration!   One more week and school will be out!  I know you have projects that need to be completed before this date!  Join us and play Wednesday evening!. 

Phew already!

So pretty I don't know about you but I'm ready to sit by the pool and have someone deliver me drinks?  And we've only had three 90 degree days!  HA  So with the air cranked up we will be scrapping/crafting Wed. night.  Bring your latest project and we'll see what we can get done!

Dream

Scrapping this week!  Insipiration in all White!  How beautiful!

Think Spring

If we all concentrate really hard maybe it will come!  Everyone close your eyes and think Spring! 

We are scrapping this Wed.  That is if Dianne and I aren't totally exhausted from our trip to see Tim Holtz?  We're going to learn lots of new things I just know it!

Now your assignment this week is to just THINK SPRING!

Rain Rain go Away!

It's making me BLUE and since I'm blue I thought we could all be inspired by it! 

We are scrapping this week.  No real challenge I'm sure we all have tons to work on!  We of course try to do our one b-day card and holiday card each week. 

I have to thank Alice and Dianne so much for helping me by decorating all my suckers for the party last week.  I'm sure I would still be working on them today if you hadn't!

I look forward to seeing everyone Wednesday!  If your also a part of CARS our swap is this Thursday Black & White! 

Chick Chick Chick!

Awwww Easter is almost here!  So I'm going to make a Grassy Challenge for us this Wednesday.  How about we add a bit of grass and or moss ot our project.  Anything fresh and green!   It is supposed to get warm here by Wednesday so lets all cross our fingers.

We are scrapping this week hope to see you all!  Have a great day!

Sunny Inspiration!

I know we're not scrapping this week and/or next week due to my work schedule then of course Spring Break.  But I thought I would still share some Sunny Inspiration with everyone.  Were back to scrapping on the 31st so be sure to take pictures and/or bring your cool creations from the past 2 weeks to share!  We would love to be inspired by what your working on!

I would like to thank the Academy.........and the Schnockered Girlies.......

Tonight is the Oscars are you ready to you have your picks? 

I thought this week we would do a little challenge around the Academy Awards.  Pic one nominee from the entire show.  Person, Movie, Music, Costuming, Documentary, Honoree etc. etc.totally up to you,  and create something inspired by that.  You can do this before we get together and crop or during or even after.  But it would be super cool if you would share it with us so we can OOOOOOH and AHHHHHHH over it and be inspried as well!

We are scrapping this week on Wed. at 7pm.  I look forward to seeing everyones take on this challenge!

Do you have your Tickets? To The Movies?

Alice comes out this weekend.  Abbi turns 7 this week can you believe it?  And awards season with the beautiful dresses and parties is almost upon us!  That and there is the prospect of all of the snow being gone by Sunday!  What more could we ask for??????

How about a night of Scrapping?  I have no challenges except our regular 1 Birthday Card 1 Holiday Card.  It will be more catch up time!

Our Olympic night was a success well except for the freak snow storm that cut it a little short.  But otherwise we worked on challenges, learned some new techniques, ate food that was super delicious and giggled a lot!   No food this week unless we do Double Filets O Fish?  Anyone in?

Look forward to seing you Wednesday.  Hey the Olympics have ended what else have you got to do?

Tonights the NIGHT!!

ARE YOU READY?

Let the GAMES begin!

Mountains & Valley's

This is one event you will score in!  With all of the Mountains and Valley's there is no way to lose!

Rock, Paper, Scissors

This is a symbol of these Olympic games.  Everytime you see it, it is made of something different.  Hard, Soft, Cold, Icey, Flat, Dimensional, Texturized etc.  The symbol is unmistakable wherever you see it!

Mountains from the Water Reaching to the Sky!

The scenery in Canada is amazing.  If nothing else these games have made me want to visit there just to take in the scenery.   

RINGS

Olympic sized rings, small rings, medium rings they are everywhere you look during any Olympic Games.

Heading to the Chalet.....

After a long day of sking the slopes.   Going to grab a comfy chair by the fire?   What do you see?  Golden lights bouncing off of glittery snow.  Everything that glitters is not Gold even at the Olympic games.    How do you make your projects Sparkle and Shine?

The Torch Is Lit!

The schedule of events is set for our Olympic SIZED Challenge Evening on the 24th.  Have you been training?   Let me give you a hint so you know what to pack your backpacks, sports bags etc. with!   Make sure you have the equipment needed for your sport.  Warm Up Clothes, Water Bottle, Paper Trimmer, Scissors, Favorite Adhesives, Favorite Tools and Ink, Scraps, Current Projects, A Completed Project to share, wrist bands,  cheesey 70's headbands  etc. etc. etc. WAIT WAIT WAIT this is the WINTER OLYMPICS -  Ski Caps, Scarves, gloves, ski pants, casts, hot cocoa etc. etc. etc.  

Each day you will get a little more info on one event/challenge/tutorial to prepare you consider these a practice run!

In all of the events in the XXI Olympics there are these wonderful murals on the walls, the vests and everywhere you look.  Aren't they inspiring.  Why not pack a couple of papers in these colors you never know what challenge may occur?

No Scrappin This week! But Challenge Prep begins for Next week......

So no Scrappin this week I have to work Wed. But I will be doing prep work for next Wed.  We will have a challenge night.  What does that mean?  Pack your favorite Tools, Your Scraps you've been tossing aside lately and your current project there will be a number of challenges to get your juices flowing and get caught up on our card making.  This will be an evening of Olympic Proportions. 

Ok maybe I'm going a little over the top but you get the idea!  Have a nice week off!

Less than a week!

It's less than a week to Valentines!  We've have to make sure all of our Valentines are lined up!   Join us for a little extra work time this Wednesday and finish up those last minute projets!

We're Back!

Time to get back to it!  We're meeting this Wed. evening.  Don't forget our challenge 1 Birthday Card & 1 Holiday Card a week.  Even if you've finished your welcome to bring them along to share!  Hope to see you!

New Year New Challenge

Wake Up Wake Up It's the New Year!   So to that end we have a New Challenge.  Well I mentioned last year late in the year but it's time to put it into practice.  So each week we meet we will make at least 2 cards 1 Christmas and 1 Birthday.  At the end of the year you will end up with 42 of each.  Now since maybe everyone doesn't need 42 Birthday or Christmas cards I think you should be able to change one out each week if you so choose to do so.  We don't meet the 3rd Wed. so that week you are welcome to work on your own and share here on the blog later.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
