Male Birthday Card for LMNOP

My first swap of 2010! YEA! I am participating in a male and female birthday card swap thru LMNOP. These are my male birthday cards. I had fun creating these and it was nice to finally get back into the scrappy swing of things!

Playing Catch Up!

I am SO far behind on everything! I haven't posted or created anything in over a month! I have been training with Coldwell Banker for a month now and just trying to get things in order. I created a few Christmas gifts on Saturday and am looking forward to 2010 where I already have 2 weekend retreats planned!!!
The recipe holder I made holds 26 recipes that are A-Z dips and spreads. I am giving it to my Grandma. The other two layouts are gifts for my Grandparents and Danny's parents. Merry Christmas everyone!!!

A few creations

I haven't posted in a few weeks. I have been recovering from knee surgery. I am finally able to get around and have the scrappin bug back! I made a 12x12 layout for a friends engagement/housewarming gift. The party is Saturday. I need to get a frame for it. I have no clue what their color scheme is....so I am hoping they like it!

I have also been working on a few craft show things. Making tons of Christmas cards and a few odds and ends. I did make a few "all occasion" cards that I LOVE. They are so perfect because you can use them for ANYTHING! I used my CTMH card kit to make these. The inside is blank. These are all going to the craft show! Now....I need to get busy on my albums!

Together Forever

I have had this awesome frame for a month or so and haven't had time to do anything with it. So last night- in a rare late night burst of energy I came up with something fun. I was able to use some old goodies and some new goodies on the layout. The big picture is us in Antigua. The small circle shaped picture is us in Big Bend. The small 1" square pictures are us in a Moody Gardens picture booth being goofy. I filled the metal rimmed heart with stickles and then added glossy effects to it.
Danny says we don't have room to hang anything in the house but this frame hangs off a cute black ribbon and I am determined to find a home for it!

Coming Soon! Monthly Challenges!

Get ready friends! A new version of the Use it Up Challenges will be coming soon. I will be posting the occasional challenge on my blog and giving my readers a chance to win fun prizes! Stay tuned!!!

Another Archiver's Sunday

I am busy getting ready for my December craft show. Here are a few more layouts I made today. I had a great day. There were only 5 people at the crop today so I had a huge table to myself and the creativity was flowing for 7 hours! All of these pages have a 2nd page that matches but I am only posting the main page.

My Archiver's Sunday

I spent Sunday afternoon at Archivers with my friends Nicole and Michelle. We had a great time and I accomplished a few things. It was the perfect day to scrap- rainy and dark and we had PLENTY of treats and snacks to keep us going!

I made a sympathy card for my aunt who just lost her daughter to cancer. My poor Aunt has lost her husband and her daughter to cancer.

I also made a 2 page layout that I think I will end up putting in one of my for sale books. I just love the colors together. The paper was in a pack I got from a scrap mania. October 18th is my next Archivers scrappy day if anyone wants to come out and play!
