Too Much Filing....


Today at work I did nothing but file.....Boring!! Ok I did copy some stuff for about 30 minutes.
But for the most part I stuffed papers into peoples charts. I would have rather been home coloring or stamping or looking at people creations on blogs...
Speaking of creations look at these I got in the mail here lately. This first one is from Donalda.
I love the cute Magnolia card. Suck pretty colors and look at all those images she sent!! There"s a huge stack under the card... She made my day with this awesome mail.

And this next one I received from Jo and she
made the cute image holder. And yes it was stuffed with great images. Even that cute little mouse one on the front of her folder... Wow!! Another make my day mail day.... Thank you girls I really love them.

Now I need to make up something to hold all the images I've got so I can see them. I'm into organizing this week. Maybe a cute lunch box??
Well I'm off to pick up my scrap room some more and maybe stamp up some images. Until later.
Have a great day!


P.S. Thank you everyone for the congratulations and comments. I really appreciate it!!

I'm So Excited.....

I made it... It's official.... I'm on the DT for Scrapmagasinet!!! I'm so excited and honored. When Lisbet posted on her blog that she was looking for DT members. I just had to send her an email. I love her stamps they are so cute.

I also learned something new today I was her first US customer. I didn't know. How cool is that?? I just couldn't resist getting her Rakle collection.

She is still picking one more DT member from Europe. I can imagine it's a hard process to pick someone. There are so many creative people out there. Also to join me today is Nicole and the returning members Lene and Sofie. Congrats ladies!!! And thank you Lisbet for the great opportunity. I'm looking forward to it.



For today's card I used Maxit Farmer from the Rakle collection. I colored him with Prisma pencils and Gamsol. Used Basic Grey paper, Misc ribbon and embellishment. I also used Taylor's sketch #17 from Taylored Expressions. Thanks Taylor for the great sketch.
Did I tell you I'm just so EXCITED!!!! How fun....
I'm also trying to organize my blog a little. So I may move things around a bit.... Ok have to get ready for the baseball banquet now. I'm taking some coloring along to do while my husband does his thing. He said I could color if I went with him. That should keep me busy.
Until later... Have a great day!!!

Today Went Fast...



Today went by super fast at work. But I like it when you stay busy. Sitting around with nothing to do drives me crazy.
For today's card I used the Cute Card Thursday challenge #11 sketch. I used my Megabilities- Spellbinder die again. This time to make the scallops at the bottom. I then used a rub-on for the little flower heart at the top. The image is a hÄnglar & stÄnglar stamp got in a swap with Monika. Thank you Monika. I really like these cute stamps. (If you live in Norway or Sweden and would help me get some of my own I would love it!!!) I used some Basic Grey pattern paper, misc. flowers, brads, rub-ons and ribbon.
I'm currently trying to organize my stamps. I decided I need some way of being able to see them. So I'm stamping them on paper and putting them in a binder that I will divide up. I hoping this will help me find them easier. I hate looking through a bunch of boxes and usually end up using whats on top. This way I can see what I have and where it's at. But organizing is going to take a while.
Until later... Have a great day!!

Too Much Work...

Well I think my weekend project was a little to ambitious... Me managed to get most of the wood out of the neighbors yard. All but the big stuff that will require a way bigger saw then we have. And we did put away enough wood in the drive way to fit my car back in. Just barely. We didn't even start on the fence and I decided we are going to need to rent a splitter for the wood in the driveway. I'd say at least half of it needs split up small then it is. That's way to much for my poor honey to take on. As for me my back is killing me. I am wore out.

But I did have time to play a little at night. I found a couple of images I'd already colored and thought I make them up. For this first one I used the Paper Take Weekly challenge #3 and Rakle Farmer stamp. Isn't she cute. I like how big they are. I also use Basic Grey paper, Spellbinders-Megabilities, Misc. Flower punch, ribbon hanger, flower brads and ribbon. (yes the ribbon was from the ribbon buy in)




I found these cute flower brads in my stash forever. I keep looking at them and today I was like OK just use them already you can go get some more.
My oldest daughter Ashley came over tonight to scrapbook her pictures from her adventure this weekend. She's so cute I never thought I'd see the day she'd be interested in anything I'm interested in doing. But she showed up with her pile of pictures she'd had printed out and some props to take a picture of some memento's she'd picked up while there. She looked through some magazines for ideas for her pages and she finished 3 whole pages. I'm impressed and she'll be back because she still has a bunch of pictures to do... Yeah!! I'll have to get me some pictures ready for next time.
