See that Tim Holtz book on the left there. My Mom got it for me :D and to make the most Super MOM Ever she had it signed by him and she used my screen name :D



I had a very happy Christmas and I hope everyone had a Happy one too and that the New Year is bright and good for you :D

Fiskafrenzy is TODAY

Whoo hoo I have my boots on, my cowboy hat and I"m ready to go! just checking some last min boards and blogs then I"ll gas up the car and go :D

Ziggy

The Photos finally worked! and some tags too :D

This is one tag I did for Fiskafrenzy earlier today.




Then my photo problems finally yielded photos and I even used the messed up one because I thought it was freaky looking :D

I used a Beck Fleck 2007 Page Map that Cass posted for our challenge at SAS and then I did Fiskars Baker's Dozen list: 1 Black and White Picture(s), 2. Ribbon (Happy Halloween) 3. 5 Brads (put over white dots on ribbon) 4. Chipboard (skull sticker) 5. Foam dots for dimension (under reaper stamp), 6. a date (stamp has October 31st and I put in Brian 1965) 7. Flowers (well there's one :D ), 8. Sparkle (I added black diamond stickles to the skull sticker and around and inbetween the word stickers on the bottom), 9. Cloud 9 or HG pp (PP is Cloud 9 Halloween Paper from this year as well as the ribbon and the stickers) 10. Stickers or Rubons (Epoxy word sticker) 11. Shaped Eyelets (4 brassy triangles 3 in corners one on plaid pp) 12. Embossing (embossed black magic cardstock with Mystical Border and sanded to let orange through) 13. Rubber stamping (reaper stamp)

Printer woes

I bought clearance laser photo paper at Office Max for $3.00 yesterday. Tonight trying to print with it and my laser printer has no setting for 4X6 :p I managed to get one photo to print, the next photo looked like crud and now it's back to saying the paper size is incorrect and won't print!

I guess I should go back to making tags. I've made 11 for Just Scrappin so far but I'm thinking I'll make 30 and participate in the swap. This may mean no cross-stitching this week LOL

Ziggy

P.S. Haa haa now it figured out what it was doing so it started printing like mad for all the times I was trying to get it to go! Had to hit cancel a few time :p

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween and may you and your little Trick or Treaters be safe and get lots of goodies :D

Watch where you roll

My Daily Spots LO had been leaning on some stuff by my computer I just moved my foot and felt something underneath it and discovered the LO had slipped and I had rolled into the middle of it :p At least I printed the photos on regular copy paper :p ARG though all the same.

Remember after totaling points and taking picture to immediatly put into album!!

13 Challenges 13 Days Mooo

MOOOOOO!



LOL check out this website http://www.moo.com/products/accessories/



They make mini cards which look to me about 1 inch to 2 inches in side so a little bit bigger than an inchie. Then they have a really neat Mosaic frame to put these photos in.



Your challenge is to make a LO, Card or project using the Mosaic Frame as inspiration. This would be a good one to use up those scraps or maybe not so good photos even where you got the person too far away ;)



Sry I didn't post this last night, Goat Cheese and Pino Gris called :D

13 Challenges 13 Days Challenge 12 Witching Hour

12. The witching hour! Use time inspiration but NO premade clocks or items! You have to make it your self! (insert cackle here)

I did the clock in the corner by using a brad template to mark out the dots for the clock and the arrows for the hands, connected them and added stickles. I hand wrote the numbers.

If you're like me you have a ton of chipboard! I gave a bunch away and I still have more! The above link had lots of cute ideas for the new blackboard. But you could use regular chipboard or even paint it black first ;)

For my sticker challenge and serendipity recycle challenge

The Music City Miata club went out the other day to Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area so I took some of my pics and made this little album out of 3 Toilet Paper Rolls for a recycle challenge over at Serendipity Scrapbooks Challenges
Then I relized I had used 16 Stickers so Yeah the sticker challenge is out of the way :D

I next realized that I could use my little Halloween project that I did the other day as my Tim Holtz Challenge since I used distress ink and embossing powder.

So whoo hoo I only have to do my own tag challenge, the page maps and the eyelets challenge (that was yesterdays that I sent the link to btw) I relized this morning that last night I wasn't too clear here on what the challenge was :D Sandra over on StartaScrapbook made a cute Christmas tree with eyelet ornaments. :D

Thanks for participating :D

13 Challenge in 13 Days Tim Holtz

what think I have a crop and not be inspired by Tim Holtz!? LOL I was at an antique store today wishing I had his brain cause I would have seen awesome stuff to do with old post office box fronts LOL

http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/10/october-techniq.html something Halloween themed ;) and be inspired by Tim ;)



I know we don't all have crackle paints or fragments or the cool stamp or at least paint and ink that match like that :p LOL But you can stickle some letters, if you don't have his Distresser for edging all it is, is a thread cutter! I got one for like 2 dollars at AC Moore just a one side so check out your sewing supplies or sewing section! Use regular paint if you don't have crackle. I know I did an old Bowling LO I colored some of the cirlcle tags with metal rims to look like bowling balls, punched two more holes did rubon letters and covered them with clear circle stickers to make them look like bowling balls. So take anything clear and stick it over a paper element to make it pop out more (also works with those marble things you put in fish bowls if you don't mind weight)



Hope ya'll SEE POSABLITIES! (lol sry referencing his shirts :D )

Also for Scrap Your Crap using up old Halloween papers. These papers are 1 or 2 years old.

1 hr sketch challenge

My friend Cristal had a 1 hr sketch challenge at her site
Just Scrappin
This is my submission :D Done at about 7:40 :D Though I was scrounging up supplies I thought I'd need and pics about 15-30 min before and typing the journaling when I decided my subject so an hour fully to create :D



Ziggy

EEEEEKKK!

First OMG I SCRAPPED SOMETHING PINK!

That's scary for me!


I had gotten some stuff from my friend Cristal on the condition that I had to partipate in BOO and give stuff to 2 other people. Was supposed to do it in 24 hours but opps I did it yesterday! I was using pink for practice boxes but there are girls next door and across the way so I just used up some swappy stuff :D I put in some Hello Kitty Stickers I had, some of the Halloween stickers and a funpack of Skittles. I was about to put some flowers but I relized they weren't stickers they were brads and don't want the kiddies to hurt themselves LOL :D



To make my self feel better I scrapped some Halloween! Granted another EEEKKK (literally too LOL) is that one of my guy friends had gone as a 3 year old and was in white bikershorts and a pink tutu I think he had combat boots on too LOL and my other friend was "my girl" and I was the gangster. I need to fix the year because I put 2001 and I relized on the way home today that it was still 2000 cause they were wearing their costumes from the Renfair and hadn't graduated HS yet LOL The papers are Cloud 9 the rub-ons from DCWV Fall Stack 07 and Grungeboard from Tim Holtz YEAH I GET TO USE THE SKULL FINALLY :D


Oh and something else worthy of an EEEKKK
My scrappy space!


Now to brave the labrynth to produce more scrappy stuff :D

Cuttlebug contest

This card used wavy squares to cut the grungeboard and I saved it to use later. For the card I ran it through swiss dots embossing folder and chalked it lightly. Then I ran the card through with birds and swirls and chalked with white. The piece through the window is bird call and chalked with many colors. The Soar Sticker from Chatterbox Descriptives.

More Craftiness!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

I couldn't let my friend Pinky be the only one to post her boobs in the crop for Breast Cancer Awarness month! Someone has to represent the small girls! ROFL

In all seriousness get a mamogram and take a friend!

More Week Long Crop

(arg screwed up and lost my post :p )

Ok I'm doing a weeklong crop over here It's about to end.

Why is it when I go over to Cristals for a few hours crop I end up bringing most of my stash (acutally it's not most which is all the more sad)

The Maniquin is for Cristal so that didn't come home with me but she did pay me back and THEN took me and the other lady at the crop to a scrapbook store where I spent that and my last dollar and a cool sticker used on this LO
and another really cool stamp which I'll have to use soon!

I also did this for a challenge to use Pink, Glitter and Bling. There's a pink bow in the picture, pink on the PP, glitter on the cupcake sticker and stickles on the grungeboard


This was for a challenge with a pic taken at night so I had to find this pic from my 24th B-day of my Best Friend and I going to see Inside Man for $1.00

Then I did this one at home of my family eating Breakfast at Cracker Barrel when we were in Biloxi (actually this was in GulfPort oops LOL)
