Under Construction...

So... my craft room was a mess! I was so sick of triping over my exercise bike, and it always looked so unorganized! So... this weekend, I decided to do something about it! I am still working on it, because I have very large cabinet that needs to be moved out of the room and my brother couldn't come help me until tonight, but here is what I have gotten done so far. I love it! Unfortunately, it's made stamping a little difficult right now because I have so much stuff and don't know where half of it is! Ok... that is always the way it is for me, but it's worse right now. LOL
These are some shelves I hung in my closet. The closet is funny shaped because it was added on during my remodel last year.
See all the boxes and mess in this picture. I still have a lot to do!!

This is right above my table. So all my punches and a few of my other main supplies are very handy. I am going to need to change this a little, but haven't done it yet. :-) I will post pictures when I get it all done.





Thanks for looking! Happy Wednesday!

Yah Jen!!!

I'm so excited to announce that I have a new blogging friend!! Jen has started her own blog at http://rockstarscrappin.blogspot.com/. She is a brand new Stampin Up! demonstrator, and my Stampin Up! sister! Samantha is our upline! She doesn't have any pics of her stuff posted yet, but she makes beautiful cards!! I happen to have this card on my computer from a swap we did earlier this year. Isn't it great?? Welcome Jen!

Happy Thursday

Good morning! Well... it's Thursday, and this week I have not had a moment to post anything creative! In fact, I haven't had a moment to do anything creative. :-) Between spending the weekend in Big Bear, our dental check ups, a meeting with my son's teacher and principal (my honors/GATE student is getting a D) to the Class of 2012 Welcome To High School meeting (OMG, my son is about to start High School!!), I have been a busy little girl.

So... this morning I went through my box of stuff that I've made in the past and pulled out a few things. I love making cards, but I also like to make other stuff too. I thought sharing some of these other things might give you a little insight in to me. :-) I hope you enjoy!!

This is a cute little scrapbook I made with a 12 x 12 Stampin Up! kit and some envelopes. As cute as they are, they are usually a lot of work, so I don't make them very often. :-)

I'll post more through out the day!

Thanks for looking and Happy Thursday!

In The Stars

Once I got my creative juices flowing again, I decided to take out my new In The Stars set. I just got it, along with the roller, and punch. I am so in love with stars right now!

Anyway, these are the 2 cards I made.

I love Rock N Roll!!!

Happy Friday!! I love Fridays, aren't they great??

Anyways... I also love Rock N Roll. Yah, the music, but I'm actually talking about the technique! I've been a little creatively challenged the last couple of weeks, so I spent yesterday looking at so many fabulous blogs. And low and behold, I find a great card that uses the rock and roll technique! So... I promptly copy the picture to my desktop so that I can take it home and CASE it! And while I was having fun in blogland, I copied about 30 more cards that I really loved and thought I could CASE or recreate to make my own. All I needed was a few ideas to get me started, right?? Well. Sort of! I took the picture of the card home and started away. I wanted to change the colors, but other than that, I was all about copying, bit by bit. :-) Only, I screwed it up and made the stamped image too big. Oops... So this was my first attempt.

I really liked the way this card came out, but it still wasn't what I was trying for... So then I made this card.

I really like this card! I love the colors and I love the Rock N Roll!!! By the way, I CASE'd this from Stamp Workshop. It's a great blog, you should check it out!

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!
