Summer 2011 Gift Album

2011-06-09T10:43:00.010-04:00

I made this album as a thank you gift for a friend. Projects #83, 85-91. I used the Echo Park Playground collection kit. I also used some bo bunny double dot paper, coredinations card stock, buttons, ribbon, and some stickles.

The "Just Slide" page is a scraplift of Just Nora's page which can be found here http://www.scrapbook.com/myplace/index.php?mod=galleries&u=259315#comments

The "Playground" page is done with the Pages in Time Blog 3-24-11 sketch.

The "A picture is worth a thousand words" title came from Melissa's layout here http://www.scrapbook.com/myplace/index.php?mod=galleries&u=259315&m=view&id=3224405&type=-1&page=1&f=1

I did this page for the Scrap Your Pet Challenge at Scrapbook.com. I got the collar in the Dollar Bin at Target. Unfortunately I had to throw it away after not too very long, because everytime Foxy would pull on her cord the buckle would open and she would run off.

The class was totally awesome. Tim is just the nicest guy and darn funny too. If you get the chance to take a class with him you should definitely do it.

4=50

2011-04-02T08:13:00.007-04:00

I managed to do 4 layouts yesterday for a total of 50 so far this year. The past 2 years I had a goal to do 365 projects or an average of 1 per day. In 2009 I managed 211 with feeling like crud all summer and then spending September to December in and out of the hospital. In 2010 with the hospitalizations I still managed 282 (I counted cards, minis, etc not just layouts that year). Being hospitalized at the beginning of the year put me behind for this year, but now that I know my chemo will be outpatient over the next few months maybe I can catch up some.#47 "Monkey Love" (Sketch~Pencilines 231) CS~Joann's, PP~Daisy Bucket, Flowers~Prima & Kaiserkraft, Letters~Thickers and Making Memories, Bling~Michael's

#46 "Girly Girl Gun" (Sketch~Let's Scrap 5-26-10, sort of messed up on this so it is a little different, didn't realize there was a border so I had a 1/2 inch strip of cs showing on the left side of the right page. Said oh I'll just put a strip of the glittery paper so then I had to put the big piece on the right edge of the left page instead of in between the photos.)

Altering Letters and Numbers for titles

#43 "Gardengoyle" (Sketch~Sketch Inspiration) Kraft CS~Recollections, PP~Tim Holtz Lost & Found, Flowers~Tim Holtz Tattered Floral(brown) Prima~Teal, Brad~American Crafts, Letters~Pink Paislee

#44 "Belly Rub" (Sketch~Let's Scrap) PP & Letters~Love, Elsie Daisy

I have stopped buying Thickers and other letter stickers other than the tiny alphas. It seems like you always have the same things left over that you can't use. I always run out of vowels and s, t, r, especially. I am trying to use up what I have and then plan to cut letters with my cricut. Both of these layouts I had to create letters I needed by cutting or substituting. On Belly rub I had to turn a capital A upside down and cut off one leg to create a lowercase b as I only had one B. In the gardengoyle one I only had 4 letters I needed, the a, r, o, and l. I had to use the number 3 for the e,the 6 for the g, the p for the d, the z for the N, and cut the leg off an x for the y. That may just be the most altered letters I have ever used in one title.

Home Frame

2011-03-29T08:38:00.005-04:00

This was the 2nd of the shadowbox frames that I picked up at a LSS garage sale and crackle painted.(I actually got the 2 shadow box parts and 2 frames that can fit on the fronts of these(no glass) and an extra back for $4. I used the other frames and the back for previous projects, can't beat $4 for 5 things.)

I traced the house from a mini album onto some slightly thinner chipboard I had laying around as well as tracing the tree onto it(tree is from Magistical memories. The raspberry paper and green flower paper is BoBunny, the cardstock is Coredinations, the home stickers came from Michael's dollar bin and the "Home is where you hang your memories" sticker is 7 gypsies.

Fancy Pants Family Flower Album

2011-03-27T09:54:00.015-04:00

Ever buy something and not use it for a really long time? I bought this Fancy Pants album and the Fancy Pants Delight line(tons of paper, the journaling book, the rub ons) way back at a scrapbook store that closed back in like December of 09. Finally got around to doing something with it. The family thing is from making Memories and the flowers are prima.

I'm back!

2011-01-22T09:35:00.006-05:00

Welcome to all my new followers! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile but I was back in the hospital for chemo again from the 28th of December until this Tuesday. Unfortunately it didn't work, so I'll probably be going back in fairly soon! I can rarely get the blog to open in there for some reason. Anyway I did 4 pages yesterday. The Christmas pages are all done using the Crate paper North Pole Collection. The dog page is Ki Memories Love Elsie Daisy line. All pages except the 2 page tree layout used sketches from Page Maps 2 book.

A few more projects

2010-12-28T06:48:00.004-05:00

The card is made using the songbird cricut cartridge. The wall hanging I got the idea from one I saw on the Jillibean Soup blog. The project counter I believe I saw on Jennifer's Hydrangea Hippo blog.

Anybody have a spare piece of this paper?

2010-12-11T10:44:00.002-05:00

I did a layout with no pictures (planned to use for my daughters 1st day of school pics) for my LSS dt over the summer. It used the Cosmo Cricket Gretel line. I turned it in back in August and it got lost. So the store owner was really nice and gave me another round of supplies to duplicate it (thank goodness I had taken a picture). However she had no more of this piece of paper. It is called Fairytales. I have found it cheap online but the shipping for the one piece of paper is upwards of $5.

I am hoping one of my scrappy friends out in blogland might have a spare piece. I would be happy to pay a reasonable amount for the paper and postage (the paper can even be cut in half crossways to make it easier to send) or to trade if I have something someone is looking for. Leave me a comment if you can help out! Thanks!

Baby Boy Mini Album & Card

2010-12-02T09:10:00.017-05:00

leukemia Update

2010-11-10T07:27:00.002-05:00

I am finally out of the hospital(been out about a week) after being in there for 63 days. Could only get blogger to open a handful of times. My first round of chemo there didn't work. Had a second round that worked. Have a lot of other issues while there, including pneumonia. White cells just would not come up. They finally sprung me last week to make my bone marrow transplant consultation at the cancer center 2 1/2 hours away, after we had to reschedule it 3 times. Waiting to see if my brothers are a match. Won't have any more appointments up there until they find a match, and they dont expect to do the transplant until January. On a good note at my blood draw yesterday my white count was finally up to 3.1(was .9 the day before) and my anc was over 2500. Unfortunately my platelets are not doing anything on their own. I expect this am they will tell me I need a transfusion.

On the scrappy front, I have managed to do a 2 page layout for my Scrapbooking Goodies DT that I was supposed to do in August. Got some of the Nikki Sivils Tree Love to do one for this month. Also got my sons Halloween page done. Will get picture of that up later.

Also got happy mail from Nikki after I left a comment on her hat from her Mary Poppins hat. She sent me her hat AND the entire of line of My Friend Birdie AND the entire line of Tree Love. She is sooo awesomely sweet!

Leukemia again!

2010-09-22T13:39:00.002-04:00

Sorry for the dead blog, but since my last post I was sick. Found out my Leukemia came back. Came in the hospital at the end of August. This is the first time I have been able to access Blogger since I got here. The round of chemo I had when I first came in did not work. So we are trying again with a different set of drugs. If that works I will eventually get a bone marrow transplant.

Crafty Chick

2010-08-05T09:35:00.004-04:00

I made this sign to hang in my scrap room. It is a back piece to a shadowbox fame thing I am guessing. At one of the LSS garage sales awhile back there were a pair of shadowbox frames for sale for $2 each. I thought it was a pretty good deal as the front frame part(they were both missing the glass) could be used separately from the shadowbox part. So for $4 I could make 4 things. After I got them home I realized stuck in one was what appeared to be the back piece of a 3rd one. I saved it thinking I could do something with it eventually. So I painted all the pieces black and then used the crackle glaze and then painted them ivory.
