Looking For A New Christmas & Winter Scrap Kit

A couple of years ago, I'd purchased a gorgeous, digital colab kit called Knocking On Winters Door by Jen Ulasiewicz & Phuong Ton. I wore that kit out scrapping photos, making our Christmas cards, creating stationary for holiday letters and even used it through the winter season for the occasional snow photo. Sadly, I lost that kit last year during a HD crash. (Yeah, go ahead an tell me I SHOULD have made a back-up. I did...on my son's external HD. But as with all HD's go, it got full, and then he needed space before I could move it elsewhere.) *wahhhhh*

So now, I'm on the hunt for another amazing colab kit that will not only supply my 2010 Christmas scrapping needs, but can be used to design my Christmas cards, stationary & even take me through my Winter season scrapping needs.

Earlier today, I stumbled across these two amazing kits by Natali Design at ScrapbookGraphics...
(clicking eac photo will take you to the info page for that kit...)



...the hard part is trying to decide which one I want!!

Alphabet Scrapping & Playing With PSP Filters

After getting lost in PSP-land yesterday evening, I decided to start an alphabet scrapbook. A huge undertaking considering I need to come up with a subject for each letter...hahaha...but I think it's doable!!

A IS FOR AMBER & ASA
(Matt's girlfriend & Kat's best friend)

Cleaning My Room Put On Hold...

So that I could create this:


With Kat being gone for the week, I felt it was the perfect time to clean hers and my rooms. Was finished with her room by lunchtime, then went with hubby to pick up OS and stopped by Walmart to order new pair of glasses, refill prescriptions and grab a few groceries. When we got back home I began to clean my room...but then an idea started floating around in my head for a scrap page. Instead of waiting 'til later (and possibly running the risk of forgetting the idea entirely) I entered PSP-land and pulled it together. I love it!!

In Celebration Of Kat's Birthday...

I can't believe it's been 17 years since my daughter came into this world!! So many emotions flood me as I think of all that has happened since that day...but the majority of those memories will be put on shelf for another day. Today I just want to celebrate, be happy, and remember how my heart swelled so big with love the moment she was placed in my arms.

Even though today is officially her birthday, her party was last night. It was a small party...family only. Kat, Tommy & I had dinner at our fave Chinese restaurant (though none of it agreed with me half an hour later...very embarrassing...but a story for another time). Afterward, we stopped by Walmart and she picked out a cake, selected a new bathing suit and grabbed a box of hair color. On the way home, we picked up Matt from work. Once home, Matt's GF (Amber) came over and we cut the cake. (I had a very tiny piece, but it didn't agree with my sensitive tummy either. *sgh*) Matt & Amber left while Tommy & I gave Kat her presents...and then she had me color her hair.

I would have preferred to do everything today, but she left just after church service to Myrtle Beach for the next week with Melody and her children, Nina, Deanna & Alex, which is why we planned everything last night. To keep me from just breaking down in tears every 5 minutes, I decided to scrap a couple of pages.

Happy New Year!!

IT'S 2009!!

For the most part, it's been a busy day for me. Got up early to cook while watching the 2009 Rose Parade. (It's always fascinated me how they make their floats out of nothing but flowers and natural materials!!) Fed everyone, cleaned the kitchen, checked email & blogs and then caught up on the ADSR4 Rules.

YUP...it's that time again...The Amazing Digi Scrap Race-Season 4 begins on January 4th.
(For those unfamiliar...At NDISB, they've come up with a cool internet digital scrapping game that will mirror the excitement of the TV reality show "The Amazing Race." Teams of two will traverse the digital scrapping world, site by site, completing challenges and collecting prizes along the way. Everyone who completes the week's challenges in the allotted time frame will move on to the next week, where they can collect even MORE prizes! And at the end of the race, everyone who has traveled around the digi-world and completed each and every challenge will be entered into a drawing for the GRAND prize!) Last year was my first time to compete as half of the MAJOR CONTENDERS. We had so much fun together that Lilly & I teamed up again this year.


The rest of the day was spent in PSPland...with Matt & Robert being off with friends, Kat sick and sleeping in my bed, & hubby comatosed on the sofa in the den since lunchtime. I should have been locked up in my bathroom installing more river rocks...but just couldn't help myself. *giggles*

This is the photo that I selected to play with...

This is what I did to it...

Here's wishing you a healthy, happy & prosperous New Year!!

It's Almost Christmas...

and I'm rushing around like a chicken with it's head cut off. My youngest son, Robert, arrived home for the holidays on the 14th and it's brought me more joy than I can express having all of my family under one roof again.

My kitchen should have been finished by now, but I'm still waiting for the cast iron shelf brackets. And until they go up, I can't install my backsplash. OH...which reminds me, instead of using a tumbled, marble mini tiles, I've chosen river rock. Reason being...it's CHEAP and once I'm finished with my bathroom remodel (that's now on day 17) I'll have a ton of it left over.

Yup...day 17 of bathroom remodel...2 years in the making. So far we've replaced the flooring, installed insulation in the outer walls, replaced drywall, redone electrical, replaced part of the ceiling, and moved plumbing for my bubble tub. Now it's down to the details...installing river rock as a backsplash and on the framing for the bubble tub, paint the walls and ceiling, install and paint trim around windows and then i get to decorate!!

I haven't had much down time...but have managed to do a couple of scrap pages.

Don't Be Worried...I'm Still Alive!!

Had it not been for the concern of a dear friend there is no telling HOW LONG I would have gone without updating this blog. For the most part, I update my personal blog everyday, but by the time I run through email, go through the morning routine with our crazy zoo, have breakfast, clean house, work in the kitchen, cook dinner then go through the evening routine with our crazy zoo, I have no time left for ME.

As quickly as possible, I'll recap what's new...
KITCHEN REMODEL:
All walls textured and painted
Vinyl words installed on doorway
Carpet ripped off floor. Plywood temporarily painted
85% of cabinets painted inside and out
I still need to install laminated tile flooring.
I'm waiting on the arrival of 12 vintage cast iron shelf brackets so I can install my shelves.
Still need to take down ceiling fan and clean it, and paint ceiling.

OUR CRAZY ZOO IS GROWING:
At last count, we now have...
INSIDE:.................OUTSIDE:
2 Female Cats.........2 Female Cats
1 Male Husky...........3 Male Cats
1 Male Dachshund....8 Growing Kittens
1 Male Parakeet.......3 Newborn Kittens
1 Female Parakeet

And I'm about to be the new owner of a Male Cockatiel...yup...just start calling me the ZOO KEEPER!! ROFL!!

I'm still doing my Meal Planning Mondays, making sense of all the jumbled mess in my brain on Ten Thought Tuesdays, donating items to the thrift store on Waste Not Wednesdays, creating a list on Thankful Thursdays, and running around like a lunatic on Frantic Fridays...just lately I've been forgetting to do them HERE. *blushes*

As for my scrapping/designing passion...it's still growing with leaps and bounds. I'm working on several scrap pages, but nothing finished yet. I have, however, designed and finished 2 paper packs, 1 fall kit, finishing a winter kit & got something magical in the works for Christmas. Still don't know when I'll be in a store again, but hoping to hear something real soon having signed and mailed off all my paperwork not long ago. *giggles*

For My Dear Friend "The Platypus"...

You have been RAK'd!! (Random Act of Kindness recipient)

I know you have been feeling a bit rough lately, so thought I'd create this for you to brighten your day. (I need your email to send the original 12x12 image)

From the moment I laid eyes on this photo of Carol's oldest daughter (known as Beautiful Masterpiece throughout her blog) I knew I had to scrap it!! There was such an enchanting and magical essence to the photo that I hope I did justice in showcasing it.

Ch Ch Ch Ch Ch Changes

I feel overwhelmed. So many new things going on in my life, that I don't know where to start!!

As you know, I've been knee-deep in summer projects in my home. Nothing completed yet, but that's OK, I can live with the house upside down for as long as it takes. I was going to rip up the carpets yesterday, but realized at last minute hubby couldn't be here when I take it up due his severe dust allergies and his asthma. (That I'll have to tackle on a day he's at work ALL DAY LONG!)

I just recently celebrated my 38th birthday on June 28th. Spent most of the day with OS & his GF browsing thrift stores and antique shops. Picked up a few good deals. That evening, hubby and I had dinner at my fave Chinese Restaurant...the perfect ending to an amazing day...until we got back home. My Aunt Lynette left a message for me to call back ASAP. When I returned her call she told me that Uncle Woodie (her brother) had passed away just a few hours earlier. I immediately threw some clothes in a bag and began making lists for the family so everyone knew what needed to be done around the house and who needed to be where at what time. Was going to head out that night, but Aunt Terri (Woodie's wife) told me to wait until morning so that I wouldn't be traveling alone at night. (This was the 2nd important male figure in my life to pass away on my birthday...the first being my Dad.)

After I returned home from Georgia 5 days later, my inbox was overloaded with 1200+ pieces of mail!! Most of them I deleted without a 2nd glance, but then noticed one from a friend asking if I'd be interested in designing and selling in her new store. I immediately said YES!! (Will give more details on store details later...) Though I've been dabbling & piddling with designing new kits for the past few months, it's been a while since I've done it full-time, so not sure how this will effect my creativity or what this will mean to my summer projects for our home, but gonna give it my best!!

This brings me to my final thought for today...since this is starting a new chapter in my life, it's time I update the look of my blog and revamp my designing name and logo. I've got something in the works, and will reveal it in the next few days or so. So keep your eyes open for the new changes.

A NEW BEGINNING...

This week has definitely carried it's share of heartaches, stress, and learning experiences!! I truly don't think I could have survived it without my faith, my family, and the support from everyone in the scrapbooking groups where I spend most of my days.

As I sit here and think back on all that has happened, I'm truly thankful that I had to go through these trials and mistakes. Without them, I wouldn't have learned more about copyrights (which I'm still learning daily) and it could have ended a lot worse than just me in tears all day with my BP sky high!!

Due to me learning new things, and my designs will be taking on a new direction, I figured no better time like the present to give my blog a new look by creating a new banner using my own kits!! I'm VERY happy with how it turned out. With this new look brings a new direction...and a new beginning...

'Til Next Time...Happy Scrappin'!"

Sunday Special...(and updates)

Well, since I posted my CT LO's throughout the week, I'm at a loss on how to blog today!! ROFL!! What is the etiquette when one faces this type of blog issue?? *giggles* Hmmmmm...well until I find out, I guess I'm just gonna post it this way...

My CT LO's for this past week were...

(all credits were given in previous posts)

NOW...on to my updates!! As you know, yesterday I posted about my surprises for the day. Well, I've some news to add to those surprises!! Last night, Lorene moved me from CT to SCT!! I'm extremely excited about this promotion because of all of the things that I'll be learning to further my own designer ideas!!


The updates don't stop there!! This morning, the CT designer that I couldn't mention yesterday officially made her formal announcement!! I'm proud to say, that I'm now a guest CT member (for the next 3 months) for Jen Ulasiewicz at KBandFriends!! :D WHOO HOOO!!

I can't wait to get started!!

THURSDAY TOM FOOLERY...Challenges and LO's!!

Ever have one of those days that EVERYTHING just seemed funny to you?? Well, today was one of those days for me!! HEHEHE

It began this morning when I woke up from a dream where I was trying to fight my way through all of my loving kitties. I'd move an inch, and more would come running up for love. I woke to find myself fighting with my covers instead...lol...somehow I ended up being wrapped like a burrito and couldn't find my way out!! ROFL

Speaking of burrito...it's the name we've given one of the 2 newborns that are left of Little-Bit's siblings. Each day we clean her eyes and give her a bottle...just like we did with the last two. This one, however, is strong, and is growing, and is very active!! We named her Burrito because we have to wrap her in a towel, like a burrito, to keep her still when we are feeding her a bottle. She's the cutest thing you've ever seen!! Remember my little Runt?? Well Runt is half the size of the 1st batch of kittens, and Burrito is half the size of Runt. When she's sitting on my hand, she only takes up half of my palm!! Soon as I can, I'll take a few pics to share!!

Spent most of the day at the water/theme park again. Our high reached 96 today, so I decided I would do nothing more than lie on a tube floating around the lazy river. Of course, my daughter Kat talked me into going down the enclosed water slides again. FAIR WARNING: if ya ever have the pleasure of visiting Alabama Adventures Theme Park, you'll end up with a wedgie the size of King Kong once ya hit the pool at the bottom!! *giggles*

At the moment, I'm participating in 2 challenges hosted by Idgie at Tina Williams Designs Yahoo Group... "Beauty QP Exchange" & "YaYa Box." The Beauty QP's are created using Tina's Beauty kit. So far we have 8 entries!! The deadline is June 14th, so there is plenty of time for you to join!! *wink* My first QP is from the LO "Back In Time" that I uploaded to this past Tuesday's post found HERE!! My second QP is from a LO I posted to all of my galleries today: "Elegant Beauty"

The Journaling Reads:
Though you were gone, long before I was born, I've always
been fascinated with the photographs my Momma had of you.
This one, in particular, is my favorite, because it shows a
glimpse of your elegance, grace and beauty that my
Momma often spoke of.

The YaYa Box, is a family tradition in certain Latino cultures, much like a Hope Chest, and while it did serve the purpose of protecting embroidered linens and handmade quilts, its true meaning and purpose went much deeper than the storage factor. The YaYa Box was filled with Hopes and Dreams -

A father or grandfather would build the box, which would then belong to the matriarch of the family. She would paint, decoupage, or in some way adorn a section on the outside of the box with a memorable scene from her life - wedding, birth, whatever was important to her. However, it was the underside of the lid that became the magic canvas - Here, the current owner of the box was to paint her most longed for Hope, Wish, Desire...This portion was kept secret until the box was passed on to the eldest daughter when she married, or daughter-in-law if there were no female children. The cycle continued until the box was completely covered by generations of art, inside and out.. Much thought went into the images on both the outside and inside of the box as each generation only has one space on each section to call her own.

SO...Idgie has devised a 2 Part - 2 Page Challenge:

Using any of Tina William's Kits that you desire, or a combination of Tina's kits, we're to SCRAP our own "YaYa Box". Page 1 will be your Outside Memorable Moment, and Page 2, the Inside of the Lid - Your Hope, Wish, Desire; Something that has yet to be fulfilled.

Here's my 1st page: The Outside of my YaYa Box

My first page represents the outside of my YaYa box,
featuring some of the things that means the most to me.
(My children; my love of music; my love letters from Tommy
from when we were "long-distance" dating - that I keep tied
together with pink ribbons; and our wedding day.)

Monday Madness...Laundry, Scrapping and Tears

Late last night, I finally caught up on all of our dirty laundry!! It was at that moment, my brain went haywire and I began to wash anything and everything I could get my hands on!! I think I've found a new addiction...lol

In between each load, I was able to scrap 3 pages...

The tears have been flowing off and on all day. My fur-baby "Little bit" didn't make it. We brought her back indoors yesterday evening, and like the night before, my hubby and I took turns cuddling and feeding. Then this morning, I woke to find it just lying beside me, hardly breathing, not enough energy to mew. For 5 hours, hubby and I did all we could, but it wouldn't eat, and it's breathing was nearly non existent. I had hopes of it improving, but during the time I had to take OS to work, she slipped away. My heart shattered...

I feel out of kilter. I tried to scrap a few pages today, but I think my muse has exited - stage left.
