Did a little more crafting today. I did 2 LO's and 2 cards. One of the LO's and cards were for challenges over at the ScrapFit Winter Crop.

Scrap Fit Calendar Challenge

I went over to Scrap Fit for their Winter Crop and decided to start on the calendar challenge. I was a wee bit distracted when I'd go over to the Zachary Quinto Community and ask for particular pictures that I remembered but didn't have :D Thanks to the people who found the shirt pic, spock smily pic and other smily pics to help me complete the calendar :D

I used a Cloud Nine Board book that I had won and it worked out perfect :D The papers are all Cosmo Cricket Boyfriend except for October which is Haunted. The photo on October is by Tyler Shields
The embelishments are from Cosmo Cricket, Thickers and some American Crafts Flair. I used Love Elsie doodle stamps on August. The stamp on October is Cosmo Cricket Haunted and paper was inked in Orange Marmalade Distress Ink and stamped in Black Soot Distress Ink by Tim Holt.

and now for the pic spam

I did this LO for the Page Maps Challenge. I had a few extra photos of my cousin Christina from doing her life book. The papers are Cosmo Cricket Story Time and I used some Thickers I had for embelishments. The metal Heart is a fastener by Heidi Grace.

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

Fiskars Intentions LO
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

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

stickles
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
