Got an email last night...

from Basic Grey accepting my double page LO of She's My Snow Angel to their gallery. Yay! I feel dumb though cuz I guess when I was filling out the information I typed in the wrong tittle so it says Sweetie Pie instead of She's My Snow Angel. But oh well, at least they liked my LO enough to post it in their gallery.

I love happy emails! heee Here's the LO below. Now can be seen at Basic Grey Gallery. Woot woot! Small wins my friends, small wins! hehehehehe

Oooh Oooh

So I have an ANNOUNCEMENT to make!

I had forgotten about a DT call I had tried out for. It's been a while and I turned in my app as soon as they posted it, hence the forgetting part. You know how it works, sometimes it takes a month even more for them to get the calls out. Anyway, I got an email when we got back from California that I had made the team....which was a SHOCK. I always think I wont make it anyway so why worry or think or stress about it. So it is always a surprise when they say YES!

I made the Design Team for Your Scrapbook Stash Kit Club. Wooo hoooo. Honestly, I was at the point where I was not going to try out for teams anymore. I never make it and there's way too many talented ladies out there. And sometimes it gets so competitive that it is no fun. So I was happy to just quietly scrap on my own. I had turned in a bunch of apps for teams and told my friends that's it. I wont try out anymore. Well what a surprise that one of my last apps for a team and I MAKE IT! Crazy right.

Anyway here is the announcement on the YSS Blog showing all the girls that made it. They announced the team a while back and I am just now getting to posting. Ooops!

Oh! CONGRATS to all the girls that made it. I am sooo excited to get to work with all of you. I finally got my package today...well it's 4:08 am Saturday so I should say yesterday so I will be working on my projects tomorrow. To start off the year right here is a challenge below for you to try out.

YSS is sponsoring Color Combos Galore for January so check it out! Here is the first color combo you can play with. I really wanted to do this color but I didn't get my kit in time. I got Echo Park Little Boy line and October Afternoon Campfire line for January, so the colors wont work for this. I might still find something from my own stash so I can play along. Check out Color Combos Galore site also cuz you just might win the challenge. Two chances to win people!

Palette #174

Here's a Sketch Erica created to along for this combo. FUN huh?

You can check out some of the DT's interpretation of the sketch and color combos at YSS Blog. Hope you guys play along with us. Two random winners will be chosen 1/15/11. You also have a chance to win if you upload and tag your LO at CCG.

Good luck everyone!

Eeeek!

I apologize folks for being such a bad but mostly lazy blogger lately. I think the whole holiday season really got to me. It's hard to get back into swing of things when you get used to just focusing on family and friends. And I wont apologize for wanting to enjoy my time with family but I will apologize for not posting my work. I should have made time for it. And this year I am making it one of my resolution to be better at it. I said I will try, don't hate...I'm human. ;)

So anyway, here are my Dec. assignments for Creative Charms that I didn't get to post here on my blog. It was up on CC blog though, so YAY for me on that one! Ha! I got to play with the Deal of the Month again and it was a lot of fun and it had tons of goodies.

There's a mini tutorial in the bottom if you care to see how I did my background for the LO.

She's my SNOW angel

Some close up pics of the details.

Here's the mini tutorial on the background. Using Stamping Up snowflake stamps and Basic Grey Fruitcake line for the LO.

And here is the final LO again.
I was able to create 2 cards also. I could have done more if I had more time. But due to the holiday stuff going tons, school activities and planning a drive to Cali. I just couldn't squeeze any more projects.

Peace*Joy*Love card

Merry & Bright card

Wanted to use the jewel flowers to create a tree and I think it turned out really cute. I wanted this card to be simple. Well that's if for now. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! It's 3:37 here in Washington and I really need to get to bed. The one good thing about insomnia is I get to catch up on my blogging. Sheesh!

Is everyone ready?

We have exactly 10 days till Christmas and I am getting really excited. Specially since I started buying the presents since October. Geesh, I really cant wait for my kiddos to open their presents. This year I went with quality instead of quantity. I am hoping they wont mind since they are getting what they or I think they would enjoy the most.

What about you? Are you getting anything for yourself? I always end up just getting what I want during birthdays or holidays. It's easier for my husband and end up being much better for me. Since we don't play the game...did I get it right game. My hubby is not too good when it comes to buying me gifts and really LOVE'S it when I tell him exactly or better yet I GET IT MYSELF! NO kidding! This is the truth. That is why I asked. Did you guys see the Creative Charms Deal of the month and KIT of the month.

I'm really slooooow!

Ok you are gonna think I am the BIGGEST DORK out there! But I already know that and most of my good friends love me for it cuz I am crazy like that. So if you dont get me, now is your chance to get the heck out! hahahahaha just kidding stay!

Ok, anyway what was I saying? Oh, yeah I'm a dork. So my hubby is away, so what I do when that happens is end up scrapbooking, vegging out in the couch browsing the net and catching up on some much needed blog hoppin. I bought a bunch of new Lily Bee stuff and thought hhhmm I should go to their blog and get inspired. You see I am hoping to scrap while hubby is away. So as I was browsing....I got to about the 3rd, 4th or 5th page. Not really sure! And what do I see? A freaking LO that I did during the summer. If you want to see what I am talking about go >>>>>> HERE!

Holy CRAP! How come I didn't know I was featured at Lily Bee? WTH people? You are supposed to be looking out for me! Hehehehe well it would have been nice to see it when it was first posted but it doesn't really matter does it? All that matter's is that someone saw my LO and thought it would be nice to put it up their blog to show their reader's. SOOOOO AWESOME! I told you I was dork...remember. So don't hate! Kay.

You see I get excited over little stuff like this cuz it is not often it happens to me. Most of all from manufacturers that I LOVE! Anyway just sitting here at home alone and figured I would share my excitement with you. If you have come to this point of my post and read the whole thing, then I THANK YOU for getting me! : ) I fully accept and enjoy my dorky-ness and have no shame. So thanks and most of all THANK YOU Lily Bee even though I am a bazillion years late. Heehhee have a good day people, I know I will! BYE!

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

I just wanted to come by and wish everyone a wonderful day. I hope that you all are spending some quality time with family and friends. May you all have a great day.

Oh and don't forget to take tons of pics. I know I will! Since my post is way too short I thought a picture of the kids would suffice! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!

Creative Charms

Hello there!
So this is my first official post for Creative Charms and I am sooooo excited. I was lucky enough to get to play with the Deal of the Month for my first assignment. And boy was it fun!

Sweetie Pie

Supplies: October Afternoon Weathervane, Creative Charms orange & red flowers and red gradient gems.

I created a LO using pics from last years trip to the pumpkin patch. I used everything from October Afternoon Weathervane cuz it is just perfect for Fall theme don't ya think? Plus I am making a rule that I have to use up tons of my old stuff first too. So this is killing two birds with one stone.

Here are some close up pics below.

The flowers are so much fun. And below you can see I used the red gems in the middle of the flower representing the sun to give it a more dimension. I love how it turned out.

I am planning on putting this on a 3d frame and putting in my daughter's room. And plan to change it out too, depending on the season or if I have a fave LO of hers.

Thanks Card:

I used the butterflies and the orange gradient gems to accent the card. They are perfect for a lil whimsy and not cluttering the card too much. Sweet and simple!

Here is the Deal of the month if you are interested.That's it for now. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving Day!
