Dirty Scraps Challenge #1

My friend Pinky made a new challenge blog called Dirty Scraps.
The first challenge was something you were peeved about and then had to put something good or learned from it. I scrapped about having scrappers block trying to come up with what I wanted to do for this dang LO!
I had chosen to use Thickers today so I used them on the title and the brown ribbonish things on the other side. In picking the paper I went with Cosmo Crickets Cogsmo so I pulled out the coordinated ribbon and blackboard. All of it was actually a gift from Pinky!
The sketch is a Becky Fleck Jan 2010.

Pet Peeve
Having all this stuff, all these pictures and being stuck all day on what to do and how to do it. Having one idea but no pictures for it so you have to print on cardstock. A challenge with requirements you don’t want to use but dang it you want to do the challenge.
Stuff laying around that needs finishing but can’t be at this time.
Looking for the font you want in your computer and realizing that it’s still in the backup hard drive and that the fonts didn’t transfer over. The pictures didn’t keep their folders so it’s one giant messy folder.
Forgetting I have stuff and finding it or knowing I have stuff and don’t know where to find it.
But sometimes the challenges are just right, some days I actually clean up and find the things I want to use. Some days the bucket of photos is inspiring. Sometimes you find just the right font on DaFont and 200 others you think you’ll use :D And if all else fails there’s Zachary Quinto to look at on the computer.

The little square on the left page reads The wheels are turning but the hampster is dead.

Anyone know of anyone giving away a white UniBall Signo pen? ;D

I scrapped!

I made some stuff today! Got to be home all day because School was cancelled for snow which didn't come till afternoon and then the roads are icy so no school tomorrow either :p Wonder what I'll get tomorrow I wonder how early some of the online crops start? :D


My Intentions LO for Fiskars Challenge. The glue smeared out from adhering the grunge board so I just smoothed it out and it shows up in the photograph :p


I used the Fiskars Card Sketch to make this to hang on my door.


Finally found the velcro to stick all my stickles where I can see them. Except for one but it's a duplicate color :D

I numbered things that I need to use up and put it in a random number generator and got grunge board today :D

More stuff!

I had some stuff that wouldn't fit in In Laws car on the way back home so my parents mailed it and it came in tonight :D Now I have some more crafty stuff like my new Fiskars Border Punches! Whoo hoo. Now if the new scrap desk was just cleared off :p I sorted some LO's last night and my Wedding Album is over flowing so it's perfect that I bought a purple bound American Crafts album from Tuesday Morning to fill :D Now do I put everything in there or just the overflow and the honeymoon?

Where does it all go!

Where does it go now? We got the desk built last night thanks for helping John :D Hubby Drilled some extra screws but one of them came up when we tried to move the desk. It's pretty stuck together now that's it's in it's spot. AFter I had to clean off the coffee table (look below for pics it's the thing laden with paper and the heavy typewriter) Got that moved out to move the desk back. Now I need to reshuffle stuff or start putting things in the desk so I can move out the round table (green doll was sitting on it) and the coffee table can go there and there will be more room in the middle of the floor. But figuring out where everything is going to be shuffled off too :p bleh

Progress after 2nd CD

Listned to another CD and was semidistracted by the internet and making a list of the stuff I have too much of (which is pretty much everything :p) I'm going to put the list into a randomizer and then have to use that item on something so hopefully I can use up this stuff! Also had to ask around for a yoyo maker because I have a bit of fabric that I know I moved with so it's 3+ years old :p

2 post in 1 day

well I listened to a cd and tried to tidy up. Got distracted finding some metal pieces that belonged to one of my shirt so went up stairs to put that near there so I could fix it. Then had to put up some laundry that was hung up to dry. Later took down curtain to put up new ones that have been on the floor since June? but those needed to be cleaned and then the towels were done. So this is progress so far.

Happy New Year

Well I made it home thanks to the In-Laws! Had to leave some stuff in FL because it wouldn't all fit in my In-Laws car :( So I don't have my new Fiskars border punches :( But I do have my shelves and desk top! So I'm redoing my scrappy room. Um am I sure I want to do this?

Good thing some bottles of wine are chillin in the fridge I might need it!

Anyone else joining me in redoing their space? You don't have to redo your whole space maybe just the table or a problem area like paper explosion or something :D
