Prima's Big Secret!

Prima has a big secret coming our way and I'm dying to find out what it is - all will be revealed Monday, March 1st!

Done!

I was going to post about this yesterday, but I ended up falling asleep with DS at 8 and never got back up LOL. But yesterday, I finished all 10 LO's I've been working on for a while now for the MM book - they allow up to 10 submissions per person and I really wanted to increase my chances of getting one of mine in there, so I made 10! And I submitted them yesterday, so I'm totally Done!

Another GCD Giveaway!

GCD Studios Frame It Challenge!

Here's my take on it - "My Heart Can Fit One More - This I learned in 2009". This photo was taken the day after DS was born, so it was March 6th, 2009. The title refers to me realizing that yes, you do love the 2nd one just as much :) TFL!

The pp is from the beautiful and very versatile Canta line. I used just one sheet - the circle die cut, and a little scrap of another behind the word "fit". I loved the little holes in the die cut and I threaded some MM Vintage ribbon through them, kind of like a baby's blanket. I also used liquid pearls to emphasize the circle - I wanted to make it like a frame around the LO, to reinforce the frame theme. I used the inside that I cut out for a mat for the photo. I painted the cardboard with crackle paint, and then piled on frames and flowers and pearls and crystals. If you want to see the pics bigger, just click on them, and TFL!

You can see even more close-ups in my GALLERY.

My ZVA winnings

Remember I won a prize pack for the ZVA DT Blog Hop last month? It came in a few days ago! Half of it is gone already, LOL





Isn't it to die for? So gorgeous!

Fun news!!

I applied for and was accepted to be GDT for Everything Scrapp'n! It's a really awesome online scrapbook store. Make sure you check out their blog for current sales/discount codes, often they have some really great ones. I can't wait to make some cool layouts/projects for them!!

Ugh

I do believe that the cold I had has progressed into a sinus infection. I had a headache all day yesterday, and I have one today as well. I even took Excedrin this morning (I was weak, I gave in!), which did help for a little while, but it's definitely back. And I really don't want to take antibiotics, so I'll just suffer through it. It's such an icky feeling though, having all that gross snot filling my sinuses. I should get a little sinus rinse or something.

Great news!

Three more of my layouts got accepted for publication in Scrapbook News and Review for next month! Yay! That is one awesome mag and I'm so happy and proud to have my work shown in it :)

Budget Embellishments Tutorial

Do you like the "embellished" look? You know - lots of flowers, bling, and embellies piled on? It makes for awesome results but can be tough on your wallet. I created a little tutorial on how to achieve that look for less. Check it out HERE - I have it posted at Scrapbook Challenges. While you're there, sign up to be part of the group, if you haven't already. It's free and it's fun! There's lots of chat, a gorgeous member gallery, weekly sketches and inspiration from DT, a well as tutorials, several challenges each week, and....if you play along, you enter a drawing to win awesome prize packs from monthly sponsors. Hey, it costs nothing, so you've got nothing to lose :)

My DD, the budding Artista

We went to M's yesterday and they were having a little art and craft setup going on. DD got to make a frame - she was very excited! I thought I'd share :) (she's 5.5 y.o.)

Dreaming Angel - Mini

I covered all the pages with GCD Studios pp - the backsides, then painted the edges with crackle paint. The outer, die-cut wings are completely covered in crackle paint. Then, decorated with soft, pretty things :) Feathers, mulberry paper, handmade paper, etc. You can see all the inner pages at 2Peas!

Camping Mini

A little mini I made about our camping trip from a few years back - yep, still catching up! You can see all the inside pics in my gallery at 2Peas.

These 3

Just wanted to share - using summery BG June Bug papers for a Valentine's theme :)

I'll have to scrap these soon :)

DS a few days ago, being his boyish self and getting into what dirt he can find in the house. He was obsessed with that tree for a while, and would make a beeline for it from wherever he was. I was sweeping there around the clock for a while.
