Scrap Room 2010

For all of us who have scrap rooms we know that they are constantly changing.  Here is mine as of right now.  I have some de-cluttering to do but until the  crop area is finished (in the next room)  this will have to do.  Here goes:

The way Mommy plays

It looks like a tornado as been thru my room

But in the process of catching up on watching The Young & the Restless I am also brushing up on some stills.  I am wearing more embossing powder than made it on my cards and the Pug as left the room but I am having fun today.  No laundry, no errands, no “TO DO” list … just playtime.

When is the last time you just had a play day?  What about January 30th?  Will I see you at the crop?

On A Roll Now

Well now that I have figured out the process I like this Mojo Monday thing.  This sketch is from September 21, 2009 Mojo Monday blog.

Am using CTMH Emporium Level 2 paper pack and black embossing powder. The Stamp used is The “Thank You”  Stamp (D1361)

I did it! Mojo Monday

I am very happy with how this turned out (doing my happy dance)!  This card was made using the “You Rock” Level 2 paper pack.

I normally have trouble with sketches that do not have cutting instructions but by using my scrap pieces I did not waste any paper when I messed up a measurement or a cut. 

This is what happens when you leave your comfort zone every once in a while.     Pardon me while the Pug and I do our happy dance.

Mojo Monday 120 Attempt

I have never tried to reproduce a Mojo Monday sketch but I have always found them interesting. My brain must be tired or I might not have my Scrappin Mojo tonight but here is what I have so far for my attempt at “Mojo Monday Sketch 120”

(no laughing)

Maybe when I get a little coffee in me it will start to come together (I hope)

Late night layout

I am just about finished with Kaela’s 6th grade album.  This is one of the last layouts for field day, being a late night layout by the light of the day I am left wondering:

  1. What is missing?
  2. What was I thinking?

The journaling will be on the second half of the layout, that is still not finished.  Maybe it will grow on me…

CTMH TV

I am getting ready to place my personal January order and as I was going over my list I noticed I forgot something. Last time watched  Art & Soul on CTMH TV “Happy Highlights” I wrote down that I wanted to order the Posterboard Alphabet set (E1014) for myself.  Well as I was going back over my list today, I could not remember how I wanted to use this stamp.

So I re-watched “Happy Highlights”  Call me blonde but I realized that Art & Soul can be used as a reference library for techniques and it is available 24/7 and at your fingertips.

So take a moment to watch another episode of Art & Soul to not only get the scrapping fever started again but also to re-fresh or learn some new skills.  As always you can reach Art & Soul through my website (press the CTMH button on the right) Just to to CTMH TV and enjoy.
