All of my Blogger posts have been transferred over. I am still learning my way around wordpress but I am looking forward to the new adventure. Please tell me what you think!Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00623196695526527205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446305213018736618.post-14965631818631268942010-10-21T10:51:00.000-05:002010-10-21T10:51:08.083-05:00MOVING SOON!I have had a good run with Blogger. Sadly they have made the decision to implement changes that have made Blogger a frustrating place. Pictures do not upload properly, sometimes they take hours to load, and last night after spending way too much time trying to upload pictures my entire post just disappeared. So beyond frustrating!!! I tried to contact Blogger only to discover they do not offer customer service. Ummmm really? So I would like to say the decision was a tough one but it really wasn't. Blogging is supposed to be FUN not so frustrating that I dread adding a new post! I have heard good things about Word Press and am in the process of setting up over there. I will let you know when I have officially moved over!Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00623196695526527205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446305213018736618.post-53952153898370884102010-10-19T20:03:00.001-05:002010-10-19T20:05:43.394-05:00Key West LayoutsI wanted all of our Key West pictures to fit in one album. My goal was to finish the album during my LMNOP scrapbook retreat. Alot of the pages had a ton of pics on them so I didn't embellish much. I was able to get it done most of Saturday by staying up past 1am and then I finished off the last 5 pages Sunday morning before heading home. This trip included New Orleans, Daytona Beach, Key West, Orlando, and a final stop in Mobile. <br />

I am so super excited! I am participating in an "artists choice" card swap at the retreat with 8 other swappers. I chose a Christmas theme because once the temperatures drop Christmas is all I think about! Many thanks to my dear friend Leslie who helped me thru my creative block and suggested I add the pop up snowflakes to the card. <br />

It was fun! She was a great classroom partner! <br />
I learned a new technique so I am glad I took the class. I walked away with 4 cards and a tag. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">This one was not my favorite. I altered it from the original design but I still don't really like it. </div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I altered this one slightly. I like it. We used petal soft on the trees. In my opinion its not much differant than flock and not something I would purchase....but the effect on this card is pretty. </div><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> I was going to make this interesting spinner card that had 2 folds and when you opened it there was something in the middle that spun around.....well.....no matter what cardstock I used the card just felt too flimsy for me. So I turned an oooops card into a cute card by matting the "flimsy" card onto heavy cardstock. I embossed the card and cut the center out with my Sizzix Top Note. I cut the owl with my Cricut Destinations Cartridge. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

I finished up the cards for the LMNOP card swap, finished up the puppy book with my <a href="http://www.thetreasureboxclub.com/Home.html">Treasure Box</a> puppy kit, and I did 2 layouts. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I calculated I was spending about $100 on adhesive runners when I could get the same amount of ATG adhesive for about $20. Eeeek. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So I ordered a cute pink one from Custom Crops and it took Danny about 10 minutes to load it for me. LOL. I figure I must have him or another "wise loader" in my presence if I ever run out of adhesive....no way am I patient enough to try and figure that out! </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So here is my issue- this gun is NOT for left handed people!!! I can NOT see where the adhesive strip is- and I swear this afternoon more adhesive went on my desk than on my projects! I am fairly versatile with my right hand but I think this gun requires too much coordination for me to be able to use it right handed. I could crank my neck around and possibly see where the adhesive strip is.....but what a pain (literally!) </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>Any other lefties out there with my problem? Not sure what to do besides maybe just practice with it. The cost savings are so great...I hate to give it up... but goo gone is kinda expensive and its looking like I need a whole jug of it for my desk so in the long run it might not be that much cheaper!Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00623196695526527205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446305213018736618.post-45384756671156634932010-08-14T23:40:00.000-05:002010-08-14T23:40:50.251-05:00CardsToday was the LMNOP monthly crop. I stayed the entire 13 hours!!!! It is sooooo time for me to go to bed but I wanted to post this before it slipped my mind. I had a great day of socializing and finished a small amount of scrapbooking. I had a goal to complete 4 sets of cards, an 8x8 album and 2 recipe boxes. Normally I am super speedy and that is not unrealistic.....today I finished 2 sets of cards and that is it. LOL! Oh well....it was a great day. <br />
<br />
This card is for the theme Red, Black, and White. My Aunt Cheryl recently had to put her dog down so I wanted to make her a card and just decided to incorporate it into this theme. <br />

I always loved that she wrote that and since we lost her to cancer in May she has been on my mind alot and I have been missing her. So I used the sketch challenge to make a card with the same greeting on it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I removed one of the craft tables to add the desk. I love it because I can hide some of my goodies in the desk drawers! LOL. I still have one craft table against the other wall and of course my small desk against the wall you can't see in the picture that just holds my computer. I have a little more room now to use the creativity room as the occasional real estate office. :-) <br />

I always asked her to paint me roses- which she hated painted- but did such a great job at. When I saw this paper I knew it could be our little inside joke with all the roses on it. LOL. </div><br />

The retreat was fun. Low key, relaxing (I had several naps), and productive. I finished all of my August card swaps, 2 mini-albums, a gift for Grandma, and a few layouts. <br />
For the LMNOP card swaps I participated in 3 categories. This card is for the Circle Element Swap. We had to incorporate a circle into our card. I figured the best way to do that was just to make the card a circle. I discovered I am not a very good circle cutter so these cards took awhile. Also- thanks to Nicole I discovered I could have been getting more circles out of each piece of paper....oh well. Live and Learn. LOL. <br />

Some people look to sketches to get ideas....but they seriously stress me out. I stare at them forever, feeling my creativity being restricted with each glance at the sketch, then I stress over whether I followed the sketch properly and most times I don't. I prefer to just "wing" it. That is why this card took me FOREVER. And honestly- I didn't even follow the sketch properly. I kept checking to see if I had the right amount of layers ( I don't) and I just could not figure out how to make it work. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">WHY did I make a card following a sketch?!? Because I signed up for a swap where we had to follow a sketch. It's cute too....and I bet people are going to come up with some super cute cards.....but I will probably be asked not to join any sketch swaps after this since I don't do them properly. LOL. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is the sketch that we were asked to follow- </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I only finished 3 sets but when the creativity runs out there isn't really much you can do. LOL. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">All of these are for the July card swap in LMNOP. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">This one is called one layer wonder. You have to create on the cardstock layer- no adding patterned paper or anything. I think the card looks elegant.....but kinda boring. I feel like I didn't put enough into it but how much can you really put into one layer? LOL. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

I saw this tutorial on Split Coast Stampers last week for a <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/grungeboardbracelet/">grunge board bracelet</a>. I never wear jewelry but I thought the bracelet was so cute I wanted to make one. I had all the materials I needed so I made it tonight. <br />
<br />
I didn't exactly follow the tutorial but that is because I was going by memory. So this is what I did. <br />
<br />
I cut a piece of plain grungeboard and ran it thru the cuttlebug with a swirly folder. I then inked the embossed area with my distress ink. Then I thought....hmmm...something doesn't look right. At this point I checked the tutorial and realized I was supposed to paint it first. LOL. So I painted it....let it dry and then sanded it to reveal the embossed area so I could ink it again. <br />
<br />
Danny actually has a little tool to add the snap and he even had the snaps. WOW....what a great guy to keep around! I added some embellishments, the snaps, and voila....Jenn has a new bracelet. And its so cute- I might actually wear it! <br />

Things were getting so bad I didn't have any table space left to create on. The closet is clean, I have weeded out some things I don't use anymore, and for right now....until I start on my next project, my room is CLEAN! So I figured now was the best time to share a few pictures. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

A 50 shelf paper rack, a 10 drawer rolling cart, and some more shoe organizers hanging from the closet rod that holds all my cricut vinyl.

My creativity usually fizzles around 7pm no matter what time I start. So truthfully I knew better than to try and make a card tonight. But Danny was watching TV and there was a tutorial I wanted to try out. Since I started after my normal "cut-off" time I can not say whether the tutorial was bad or if I was bad. LOL. The card looks NOTHING like it is supposed to. Its not folded right, its not cut right, its not scored right.....if you were to look at my card and then the tutorial you would not realize they were supposed to match. HOWEVER.....I do like the card I created so I am keeping it. I am going to try the tutorial again another day and see if I can create the card I set out to make. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

Tutorials sure do come in handy....but they are even better when they give the correct measurements! <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">LOL</span>! I went <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">thru</span> at least 3 bad tutorials before I was able to put 2 different ones together and figure it out. Making a card should really not be that hard! And once I figured it out- it was EASY. I don't have time today- but tomorrow I will post my own tutorial for this card and you will see how easy it actually is. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The recipient of the card pulls on the ribbon to create the "waterfall effect". The squares flip over. You can write a message on the pull tab so once the tab is pulled out the recipient can read it. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3WHlriIZHuDndiuXB96Qs4Ir8Yf2TM6RTFasR7-LSczqIyr-PCcdMBxKrkIdImEueMBc8SynivMYw0YgcPv9021oGJH1HC1Pn7_MaV57CKIaxJm38-XZjLqwH6TnWOzWmgoLS_nwLRlyd/s1600/waterfall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3WHlriIZHuDndiuXB96Qs4Ir8Yf2TM6RTFasR7-LSczqIyr-PCcdMBxKrkIdImEueMBc8SynivMYw0YgcPv9021oGJH1HC1Pn7_MaV57CKIaxJm38-XZjLqwH6TnWOzWmgoLS_nwLRlyd/s320/waterfall.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_-4BnACSLl7qdbJR_QI_TcrJ5UYXE8CoHfCEol0EGFcacWkm7bjG8aEWcrpVeTYbbAE4posSh4gre1_VMKIJLuJcUpmlwBeBgGENU5fIBfOBbfZNmDOlygMEPLFY1tWnS52TisvF4IKw3/s1600/waterfall+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_-4BnACSLl7qdbJR_QI_TcrJ5UYXE8CoHfCEol0EGFcacWkm7bjG8aEWcrpVeTYbbAE4posSh4gre1_VMKIJLuJcUpmlwBeBgGENU5fIBfOBbfZNmDOlygMEPLFY1tWnS52TisvF4IKw3/s320/waterfall+2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

I used a "gate fold" card for this swap. Someone (kindly) pointed out to me that I put the monogram on the wrong side of the card. Maybe because I am left handed??? I don't know....it looks right to me. LOL. </div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I found this idea off another blog and thought it looked so cute I had to make my own. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For this card I cut 12 squares with my 1 1/4 square punch. I adhered them to 5x5 white card stock. I then ran them thru my cuttlebug with the Sizzix Top Note die cut ( I borrowed it from a friend but after this card I MUST have my own!). I inked the edges and then ran it back thru the cuttlebug with the swiss dots folder. In hindsight I should have inked last because I ended up getting ink on the embossing folder. LOL. Then I adhered the "quilt" to the card. I added a quote stamp from CTMH and the flowers. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I made 12 of the quilts (messed up 2 of them because I didn't have them sitting right on the top note die cut) , 10 cards and it took me about 4 hours. LOL. Granted- there was alot of talking and alot of eating in the middle, I was at a crop afterall. But I think the end result was totally worth it! </div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00623196695526527205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446305213018736618.post-69459345326305590712010-05-23T21:11:00.000-05:002010-05-23T21:11:00.198-05:00Ohhh Waxahachie How I LOVE you!<div style="text-align: center;">We went up near Fort Worth for a friends wedding this weekend. I was able to sneak away on Friday night for a short trip to Waxahachie to visit <a href="http://www.thecraftyscrapper.com/">The Crafty Scrapper</a>. I have to say this is most likely the biggest scrapbook store I have ever seen. The shop takes up two store fronts and is located in an old historic-like downtown. I tried to focus on buying things I have never seen in Houston. That proved difficult since there was SO MUCH I had never seen before. The bulk of my purchases were <a href="http://www.tensecondsstudio.com/">Ten Second Studio</a> molds and some <a href="http://www.timholtz.com/">Tim Holtz</a> embellishments. Many other odds and ends ended up in my shopping basket as well. I asked Danny if we could move to Waxahachie but I got a flat out NO. So I am thinking a road trip with the girls is in order....I don't know how I lived this long without Waxahachie! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is one of the way cool things I bought. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxj-AfNGg0ySpE0N9JkQa_w2NbdRDj6Nem0akMxob2oQysQgPIXqB5cZZRQwQS3-p2A2tQWgGCiwJYwnkeN3aEagOExhyphenhyphen5NRcH33Wrjy4AiSnnE6mrx4SRbfAm1zyISqIY80iWv9ZjS2mj/s1600/wedding+045.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxj-AfNGg0ySpE0N9JkQa_w2NbdRDj6Nem0akMxob2oQysQgPIXqB5cZZRQwQS3-p2A2tQWgGCiwJYwnkeN3aEagOExhyphenhyphen5NRcH33Wrjy4AiSnnE6mrx4SRbfAm1zyISqIY80iWv9ZjS2mj/s320/wedding+045.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It is made by Darcies and they come in many differant shapes and sizes. This one was only $7.99 which I thought was a steal! The heavy chipboard is already distressed on the edges. I added a stamped image around the top layer. It's 3 layers thick so you could actually add some large embellishments on the inside if wanted. The doorknob is one of the Tim Holtz embellishments I used. And the great picture on the inside is actually from the wedding this weekend! LOL. </div>Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00623196695526527205noreply@blogger.com1
