Studio Calico CHA Crop

Here are the LO's and card I created for their challenges. I had so much fun and another way of kicking my butt into scrappin again.

Fly

Define your LIFE

Here is a detail pic of the journaling spots.

Love how this card turned out.

I had so much fun participating in all these challenges to get my mojo going. It really is my go to thing to do when I don't want to scrap. I have created so many LO's and cards just by doing this. I did not win any of the challenges I did but that is ok. I didn't do it for the prices. I did it to get going on creating again. And guess what guys.....it worked.

Just look at the last 3 post I did today. That is the proof my friends. I am really trying to get going and not stop, but alas I have lost my mojo again. I will have to look into some more challenges, I am also looking into getting to know fellow scrappers in my area and gonna check out my local scrapbook stores. I need to be proactive you know. I am also so BEHIND on all the new products out there. But that is ok, cuz I am sticking to my plan and mantra that I have been saying for over 2 years now. And that is using my old stuff. I know there are many scrappers out that have so much stuff they don't even know what to do with. So joined me! Let's all dig in to our old supplies and use them. I promise no one will arrest you for using them.

Just USE THEM! Hell you paid good money to have them.

Happy scrappin ya'll. Have a great day and here's to me finding my mojo again.

My Scrapbook Nook New Year Crop

First I will show a sketch challenge for Jillibean Soup that I entered. It is now the end of Feb. and I still don't know who won that challenge. It was just a start to my scrapping journey so it's all good. I didn't really expect to win just taking advantage of the challenge.

Together

Challenge to scraplift your own old LO.
Challenge to used up so many different pattern LO.

Valentines card
These are cards that I made. It was a card challenge and decided to create a couple more. Why not? My scrappy supplies are out already, might as well make more. Now I have a couple of cards ready for any bday party my daughter might be going to this year. Yay!

A couple of card challenge.

This was a challenge that I made into a 2 page LO. But for some reason I cant find the pic of the other side. :( I wonder where it went. I am too lazy to take another pic, I am just happy I am posting these stuff in my blog. sheeesh!

Banner challenge

Here is a detail shot of the banner.

New Year Resolution challenge.

I love this one.

I am so happy with the amount of stuff I was able to create. Specially, not having been scrapbooking for almost a year. It was really the perfect time to get started again and being to use up all my old stuff.

Hope you guys have a great day, get creative, get scrappin and get to using some old stash.

Two Peas in a Bucket CHA Crop

Hi, hi!

I used the perfect excuse to get scrapping again. What is it, you ask? Well CHA time of course. It's been almost a year since I last touched my scrappy supplies and I am just now getting into it again. So I know that 2peas always has great crops, I figured I should use this time to get as much scrapping as I can. Along with my buddy, Em. We took full advantage of the situation and got to croppin.

We didnt really got into it becuz we wanted to win stuff, but would have been thrilled if we did. But mostly it was for the challenges to get us going. So below are the stuff I did for 2peas. Dont ask what the theme of the challenges were cuz at this point I dont remember anymore.

Here are a couple of cards.

Not the best....I know but remember I am barely getting back in to it.

I will follow him

4 all your FIRSTS

Tried my hands on painting/scrapbooking.

I've been wanting to do something like for a very long time and thought I would start now. I really like how it came out. I might be doing more stuff like this or just start on that ART JOURNAL I have put off forever.
Here's a detail shot.
Have a great day!

Teresa Collins Love!

I created this LO's for a Design Team Call. But they didn't make it, so I am getting to share them with ya. I know it's been a while since I posted stuff and you might look at this and say, eeeh its old already. I know, I know CHA just happened and this is so last season. But who cares darling!

I certainly don't. I am planning on using most of my stuff before getting the new stuff. And if we are being really honest here....right now I don't even know what the new stuff looks like. I have been in my own little LA LA WORLD to know what is going on in the scrap booking industry. As of right now I have no desire to buy anything. So in continuation of my little mantra I have been pushing on you guys all this year, I will be using my OLD STUFF first. Yep! I am making this a priority in my scrapping. No new stuff until old stuff is used. (We'll see)

All Girl!

Wow! No tittle.
Well that is it folks. I said I would share these LO's and here they are! Hope you enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed creating them.

Sharing some of my Creative Charms LOVE!

It felt so good being asked to Guest Design Post for Creative Charms. Specially having been away for so long, being so busy with so many other things and not getting to do anything creative. So I would like to say a big THANK YOU to Midori for letting me in on this. I really am grateful and thankful for you.

Here are some of my work and I wanted to share with you using some vintage pearls and flower blings. They are just perfect little touch to add to your LO's to make them feel complete.

BEAUTIFUL

Here are some close up pics for the little details.
SMILE

Here are some cards with a lil bit of pearls.

Smile

Love

Well that's it for now! I have a couple of post coming up, with other LO's I have not posted yet. So, thanks for passing by and hope you all have a great day.

Hello Strangers!

Wow! Did I fell of the FACE OF THE EARTH or what?

Ok, so to give you a quick recap as to why I just disappeared here's why.

My hubby is in the US Army and we were once again relocated. We are now in San Antonio Texas.

Yes! So you see, I had a good reason as to why I was gone. I was busy packing my house, getting last minute end of the year activities for the kids, packing and moving the entire household good, driving with 3 cars to Texas, finding a house, entertaining the kids since they are on summer break, finally finding a house, unpacking, getting the kids ready for school and now busy with trying to settle in the house feeling like home and the normal day to day crap!

THERE!

Now that we got that covered, can I just say that blogging was not one of my MUST DO. I'm sorry about that but to be real it was not. I had to get a break from it all. But now that 99.9 % of my house is unpacked and I am finally getting the hang of things in the new place and new activities I am ready to be back. And nothing can beat being asked to Guess Design Post to start getting rid of my RUT. I needed the kick in the pants.

So folks, I'm back. I am hoping to good at it. But there are no promises. Nothing I hate more than saying something I will do and then turning around and not doing it. Anyway, just wanted to let you know all know I am Guest Designing for Creative Charms tomorrow. (Thanks Midori for letting me in on this.) So make sure and check it out at Creative Charms.

Hope you all have a great day. I know I had a long one, so I will see ya when I see ya.

Sneaks for ya!

I have some sneaks for ya! I decided to try out for another term as a DT member for Your Scrapbook Stash. I thought about not doing it, since doing an entire family military move is hard, not having a place to live when we get there and then settling down when we finally did find a place was hard enough. But I love the company too much and they are really good to their Design Team so it is well worth it!

Here's a couple of sneaks of the 2 LO's I turned in for my submission. I thought I took detailed pics of the other submission but I didnt so I couldnt post them. I will though once the call is done.

Wish me luck you guys, I really want to be back in the team.

Hello Beautiful!
I really like how theses LO's turned out. And no matter what...if I make the team or not atleast I have 5 gorgeous projects that I am proud of.
That's it you guys. I cant wait to share the stuff completely but for now this will have to do. Thanks for passing by and hope you have a great day!

Last minute work!

Here's a LO for June and some 3x3 cards for May assignments that I created. I was really taking out some stress by scrappin. Because of that I was able to create more than what I needed for my assignments which is always great!

Anyhoo, here they are.

Nurture

Used up some of my scraps from Aprils DT kit featuring Little Yellow Bicycle TWIG line for this LO. I am actually surprise that I was able to complete a LO with what I had left from the line. NICE!


Used some Heidi Swapp felt butterflies for a pop of color! Love it.

Here are some 3x3 cards using Teresa Collins POSH line that I was able to crank out at the last minute for my May DT assignments. Created them using scraps as well. Man I am doing sooo good using up scraps. Hey, you would be amazed how much you can get done when you put your mind to it.

I am going to give these to my kids teachers for their going away presents along with other cards I made for them. It's like an assortment of cards ya know! I am happy with they turned out. I think they are so cute. You can use them as cards or as tags. They are very handy!

Ok, that's it for now.

By now I should be on the road driving and on our way to Texas. Wish me luck and pray we get there safely and in good time. I hope I don't melt and get use to the HEAT fast. Living in Washington for 2 years, my body has gotten used to the cold. If it passes 60 degrees, we go nuts like its the best thing since slice bread. So I am hoping that the Texas Heat don't kill me. Yikes!

Thanks for passing my humble blog and hope you have a great day!
