Hello Ladies!!

Where is everyone, are we lost again?  I know Renee is away but a bit but Natasha and Diana, WHERE ARE YOU and what are you up to?

I just came across a great deal from Stampin Up if anyone likes their products.  If you check out their clearance rack, some of the items are 60% off.  There are stamp pads, markers, reinkers, paper and many embellishments.  I just order 8 stamp pads, 6 reinkers for those pads, 2 packs of markers 3 packs of paper, lots of ribbon to match my ink pads and the list continues.  Because I put my stampin up demo's name in, I received an add'l 10% off.  That was about the price of my very inexpensive shipping and tax.  I'm thrilled!!  I got a total of 19 items for $50.00 including shipping.  Total retail should have been well over $150.00!!

Just thought I would give you a heads up.  Talk to you all soon

Challenge #?? I've lost count!!

Ok ladies...although I've gotten NOTHING done scrapwise I did find a fantastic site that has some great ideas.  They are featuring Halloween tags right now and I came up with a great idea....my challenge to you is to make a Christmas tag using at least 2 of the techniques used on the attached link.

And Renee....I don't want to hear that you don't have any of that stuff.....the rest of the challenge is that you may NOT go out and buy any of the items used but must improvise and use things you have on hand.  I thought this would get us one step ahead for Christmas!!

Halloween tag link

Here is something I was playing with AFTER I went through those websites!! It's not Christmas so it's not my complete challenge!!

Ok, so maybe I'm a bit behind but........

Here you go...this is Diana's challenge with Natasha's add on!!  I'm just learning on the cards so bear with me!

Fall Fun Layout

Challenge #21 Fall Harvest Full Page Layout

My Challenge for each of you is to make a full page layout and using your My Challenge for each of you is to make a full page layout and using your cricut ... cut at least three characters to go on this layout. Use three other embellishments. Ribbon/brads/buttons/chip board/metal.. Use three pictures on this page and matt the pics in three different colors. You can make this a double page layout. Let's get caught up girls!

Layout using the old Cricut and Metal

 

Had to "dust" the old Cricut off for a recent Scrap event.
Metal is on the lighthouse. Was a beautiful day!

Crisis....

Hey all...have to make this very very quick.  A windstorm has our internet all messed up!  I get about 45 seconds of internet before it dies again.....

I need to wait until I get better internet to upload a pic!

an added challenge for week 2!!!!

Okay, since it is officially my week to do the challenge I am just going to add to Diana's to make it a bit simpler for everyone.

My challenge is for you to add metal to the card you do for her challenge.... :) ENJOY!

More Cards I made today...

Here is what I did today...no class on Thursdays so I usually try to enjoy it if I don't have too much homework to do. These are some new folding techniques I wanted to try.

DIANA......this is your week!!

Ok Diana....fire away!!  We're ready for your post AND your challenge!!

Challenge #19 ALMOST completed

I wanted to show you guys I really am working on my challenge but my work has officially gotten in the way.  We just picked up a big client and it needs to come first.  That and with it being a quarterly tax month, my time is a bit limited right now.

I still have a bit more work to do on this layout but I'm happy with where it is going.  I want to cut some more pumpkins for in the wagon as well as in the one field.  I have some chalking to do on my cornfields, I also want to cut some corn stalks (but haven't made the cut file yet) to put behind the sitting bear.  The bear on the tractor is calling for a cowboy hat too.....4 sale will also go on the 2nd page.  All the cut files are my own creation.  I still need to do the tractor tire centers too!!

With all that being said....here is a preview:

Thanksgiving Bear Layout

 

Wendy your Thanksgiving Bear is adorable! I enjoyed making him! His little face looks better than the picture shows. Having said that I need to learn to do better with the faces.

So glad we are back to scraping! Let's Get Caught Up!

My Challenge Card

Here is my challenge card... I'm not super happy with it, but it is what it is. Also here is another card I made this weekend, this is officially my first Christmas card of the season.

Challenge #19

Ok ladies, here we go with our newest challenge:

If you look in your in box (not you Renee since you already have it) you will find a SCUT2 file (picture above) for the Thanksgiving bear.  Your challenge is to take that cut file and use it on a layout or card.  The choice is yours.

I can't wait to see what you come up with.....HAVE A SUPER week ladies

Wendy

Here is an example of what I have been up to.....

These are my own files (although I will be sharing with you ladies!!)...These are some of the very first ones I have made.  I'm still working on it though.  I've lost my pic of Frankenstein...or he would be here too!!  I still haven't scanned my train.

Hello Everyone!!

Are we ready to get back up and running after our summer?  I've stopped receiving emails so I don't know when anyone posts, I'm hoping that changes.  If everyone could post so I can find out who's posts I get emails on and who I don't I would appreciate it.

Our challenge this week is to post what we have been up to this summer and share what we have been working one.

I'd love to hear from everyone!!

Wendy

Are we back?

The site is back up! It was down for a while. Must have been because we are all busy with summer. :)

How is everyone doing? We are moved and in the new house now. DS lead levels are coming down nicely. DD started pre-school and loves it. I talked to the teacher, they do a letter a week. I am going to start making letters and cut outs for each week for her class. This will make me get my cricut out even before the new scraproom is up and functioning. My E needs some attention. She has been neglected lately. :)

So where is everyone?

HELLLLOOOOO!!!!

Just thought I'd take a minute and see if anyone is still out there????? LOL, I guess the challenge for the week is to post a response....let us know you are still alive and kickin'!!! I have posted my latest card on my personal blog if you wanna see it there.

What I've been up to...

Here is what I've been doing when I get scrappy time...which has been very little this summer but I am still really in love with my copics and stamping. I actually have not done a scrapbook page in months!! The box is an altered project that I've been wanting to try for a while and I love how it came out so I'll be doing more of those soon however with school starting in less than a month I have a feeling that I'm not gonna be blogging much :( so sorry if I don't keep up, just go on without me and I'll pop in when I can.

I must confess.....

I'm very sorry I have been missing from the blog.  I have also been missing from scrapbooking for the most part.  Someone, and we won't mention names (RENEE!!) introduced me to farming on facebook.  BIG MISTAKE.  I now have another hobby (much cheaper I'll admit) but alot of fun.  Farming combined with going away every weekend has left my scrapping time very limited.....yup, no time for housework either!  I'm posting this as I sit outside my baby sister's house (not home again!!)

I am getting back into scrapbooking thanks in part to my husband putting an air conditioner in my new scrapbook room. 

I'm challenging myself to create something this week and post it.  No requirements, nothing out of the ordinary, just a creation and posting it.

Anyone with me?

Diana - how are you and the kids
Natasha - how are things going with you?
Miss Renee - how's the farm??

Ok....off to visit with family - Mistie is home for the weekend with the baby and I need to get out to Mom's to see them.
