 Everyone know I love little books, I have a collection of them little bible, little poetry books. But this woman is making domino book, can you get any smaller. Plus her stuff is different and beautiful.

Malaysia

I love looking at the work of scrapbooker from different countries. I don't know if it product or style, but they are just lovely. I mean who uses bard to made a zigzag ribbon frame around a picture. Maybe it the amount of time and technique they put onto every layout. It amazes my probably because I can not see myself doing that ever. This blog also has a bunch of tutorials on everything. Well I'm going back to look at some more.

ATC swap

Last Friday we at our ATC swap at Scrap, Stamp, Ink I'm part of the group that meets in North Charleston at Barnes and Noble. So our theme was Summer Flowers.

From the left Deb Thomson, Missy Dorby, and me (mine used the Door I got from ArtChix)
Deb handmade all those tiny flower, I don't know what to say about that beside Damn!
Missy's once again the photos don't do it justice.

Starting at the left was Amanda Phillips, Diane McKnight, Hilma Morales-Pesce
All are amazing and my pictures don't do them justice.

So what we learned today is that I get the opportunity to hang with some amazingly talented women, and they are funny as hell. Of course it's Craft club tonight. Woo Hoo. I forgot to bring a diaper, cause when these ladies get together I laugh so hard I almost wet myself.
I'm a busy but very lucky woman.

Craft Club tomorrow night

In honor of craft club tomorrow, which I believe is about flowers, I offer up a blog that has every kind of flower every made. Of course it's not in English, but they do have a translation option. or you can just in enjoy the pictures.

More masulane cards

I work with mostly men. Last year I challeged myself to make sure everyone gets a birthday card for their birthday. It was a really great experience and I'm continuing to do it. It's amazing how many guys no longer get a simple birthday card.
So because of this I am always searching for some manly designs that are not about fishing or hunting. Also that don't use brown ( My go to color for a man's card) So I found this website for you today. I must say the stamps she uses are awesome too. I need to get that architechure set. So enjoy.
I hope everyone is having a great week, it been a busy one. We had design Team meeting for Scrap, Stamp, Ink and then on Thursday we have Craft club. We had ATC swap last Friday too. These ladies are amazing. I will try to get photos up this week.

Creative Weekend

I had a nice quiet creative weekend, so I thought I would share what I have been working on.

I have been obsessed with little books, of different sorts, here is the new cover I made. I use some cardboard, I believe the images came from sum of all crafts http://thesumofallcrafts.blogspot.com/  they have some some great vintage clip art. I also dipped into my smashed penny collection to provide some of the bling for this. I love how it turned out.

I'm starting to scrap my vacation photos, some of those including a wedding down in Key west. The tag on here, was something I taught for a make and take for NSD at Charleston Scrapbooking. I used the Tim Holtz masks and distress inks, the ribbon is from Micheal's and I ran it though the sewing machine to get the frills. The background paper is from one of those paper packs, if you really want to know which one let me know.

This is Olivia and Abby, my Border Collies, it only took ten shots to get this one. And it has to be one of my favorites.

Scrapping me.

This is one of the blogs that I found though Scrapping from the inside out. For me, since I have no kids, I thought scrapbooking wasn't for me, unless there was an occasion involved. But this website gives you challenges on scrapbooking yourself and your feelings. And 15 minutes has some awesome ideas- like the smash book, the uber list and just some great layouts. Everyday I am amazed by the talent out there. And I'm glad that somehow I'm a little part of it.

Awesome Layout of parasailing

Today I would like to share the layout I did for Stickled Pick. It is awesome. Shelly give me some gray tone paper that normally I would never use. But I had just gotten a dot stamp at Big Lots for 2 bucks, so I stamped red dots all over it. Then I used my Parasailing pictures and red mats. And the coolest thing was the Tim Holtz die, that looks like the top of and award ( I can't remember what it's called) I used them in the same colors as the parachute. But in case you haven't noticed I didn't remember to take a photo. So you will have to Stickled Pink to see it.

Well Shelley hooked me up and send me the photo so here it is.

And it better in person.it's amazing how much more creative you can get when your around creative people. Thanks for letting me hang out.

ughh- picture book

I just lost this huge blog post I did. So I well at least reload the pictures. I just want to cry. Let me know what you all do to keep that from happening.

This is a little thank you book for some of the people in the wedding. It was an amazing time.

 A family is bound by Love.

It was fun using the acrylic covers

 What happens at La Te Da's gets captured in photos

 The brown paper is the new Tim Holtz Glassine paper, it also uses Coorenate paper

 I wish you could make out the awesome Prime bling.

I should have brought more.

I just love the little rub on flip flops

Different Style of Scrapbooking.

http://www.donnadidit.net/

I have never seen anyone do there pages like this, where all the photos are not perfectly placed, Someday I wish I would have the courage to scrap what I feel instead of how I think it should be done. I admire people who have the vision to just create art, just to create art. I get the question alot "What are you making the for?" It's hard to explain I'm making it just because it makes me happy, because I find it relaxing, fulfilling. I have the need to be creative. So what I'm trying to say is I just want to be free to make a mess. Create art, even if some do not see it as art, it makes me complete.

StampScrapInk

Yvonne's Neck pouch

What a great time Friday Afternoon at ScrapStampInk's Tim Holtz product Party. I had three groups and Jenny do the make and take. I did a grunge paper neck pouch that I seen on Following the Paper Trail, modified it a bit so it would fit on a 6x 12 sheet of grunge paper. I should have taking more pictures. They were all so different. Thanks everyone.
