Free Vintage Images

I found a great blog with free vintage images. It's called The Vintage Moth and can be found here http://www.percyandbloom.com/

Make it "XTRA" Large

This layout is of my kids with their favourite hockey player, Mike. He's the son of my husband's best friend from childhood and he played hockey for the Huntsville Otters for a couple of years. I did it for the WeScrap challenge Make it "XTRA" large. The XTRA large was using a photo bigger than 4x6. This is 5x7. Now I am off to start another one.

Woo hoo!!!

I'm so excited it finally came in the mail, the Slice.
I won it at the Spring crop and could not believe what I was reading as it was the last thing I expected. This totally makes up for all the prizes I have won before that haven't arrived in the mail. I am going to love it.



It is now plugged in and charging. I can hardly wait.

Another layout done!

Yippee for me. I think I am on a roll. I got another layout done and I have more planned. This one is for the April 17 Definition Title Challenge over at WeScrap. It's of me and I used Photoshop and my scanner to get my Mom's handwriting onto the front of the photo. Hence, the title "Precious".

Don't you love that new Martha Stewart border punch.

Clean up

I am busy trying to get my scrappy area organized again! Yes, again. My dear hubby found a used desk at the transfer station where we take our garbage. It's still in pretty good shape but the drawer needed to be fixed and it's huge. A month ago he got a unit with two big drawers that I can lock so all my important stuff that I don't want the kids to touch go in there. As a result I have had to move things around and do some purging. I'm still in the process and hope I can get things done today. Now I need to get off the computer so I can get done.

Cricut Mats

What a dreary day we are having today, rain and light snow and to make matters worse, I have my kids cold to make me feel yucky. So I have been doing some surfing on the net and came across this great idea about how to make your cricut mats sticky again. I am going to have to try this and see if it really works. Here's the link: http://www.hidinginmycraftroom.com/2009/10/how-to-make-your-cricut-mat-sticky.html

I did it!

I finally did it. I finished my first layout in months and it was a 2 pager at that. I also did a card and altered a tea can. Not bad and I feel good about it and can't wait to start working on another. I might even finish another one for the WeScrap on-line crop. Here they are:





My lovely daughter sunning herself in March when we were blessed with warm temperatures and sunny days.


The altered can is a tetley tea can and the card I made for my brother in law's 60th birthday.

WeScrap On-line Crop

WeScrap is having an on-line crop starting April 9, 2010. I just took the bait from Ally and am going to do my darnest to get at least one layout done. Can I do it? I think I can.
