Got Some Scrapping Goddies In!!!

Today I got my package in from ScrapbookingAlley.com. I ordered clear, white, and black UTEE. Also got the pink and green glue glider plus one refill. I got another Tim Holtz distress ink in brushed courdory but it was broke. I love love love Tim Holtz distress Ink's. I also got some tattered angels glimmer mist. I must say I was really excited to try this product out and it kind of let me down. It leaves a pretty finish but when I spray it it leaves big spots. I used it on about 8 small pages and you can tell a lot was used from the bottle. I love the glimmer part of it, but wasn't completely satisfied. Anyways I also got a 10 x 10 making memories mat. I have a small one now. So a bigger one should be nice. That was all from there. I am learning how to use the UTEE. Today is my first time embossing. I bought just a cheapy embossing ink pad and it does not work. The powder just slides off. I have worked on my GGS trade album today. It's coming along not as fast as I would like though. I just hope my trade partner likes it. I see all the other GGS girls mini's and my seems so plain in comparison. I have learned so much from theirs though. Well I am probably just babbling on and this is kind of turning out to be longer than meant to be. I am going to try and post some pics of a mini I am working on. We will see if I do it correct. lol. It is a my first paper bag album and I must say I love how it is turning out and I love all the pockets a paper bag album has. It has a variety of papers from paperstudio, my minds eye, 27th street, and more. Also I did stamping on each page. Added some buttons and bows. Distressed every page! I am not even close to being done with it though. Hope you like it!

GGS Trade Club

I am in the Girls Gone Scrappy Trade Club starting this month and I am so excited to make my mini album for Felica. Felica is my trade buddy this month. I have already started on the mini and it is so much fun. Felica e-mailed me today and she lives in Ireland. I thought that was so cool. I have never mailed anything out of the U.S.A so I hope when I send the mini it gets to her quick and with no problem. It is so late at night right now. We have been to town shopping and I got to go to Hobby Lobby! Which is the only store that carries scrapbooking supplies near where I live. I got some new stamps, tools, and etc. I also have some stuff I ordered off of http://www.scrapbookingalley.com/ that should be here Tuesday. They have free shipping and no taxes! It's a great deal. I am feeling a whole lot better the last 2 days. I went to work Friday and today. Well I had better get off to bed soon. : )

At home not doing so well

Haven't posted in a few days so thought while I had down time I would. I had to take off work today because of a very painful spot that has come up on my leg. It makes it painful to walk and sit down. So I am trying to do as little as walking around as I can. Besides that yesterday was my dad's 50th birthday so my hubby and I drove down there to celebrate that with my family. We live an hour away from all of my family so it was good to get to go down there and spend the day with them and my adorable 2 nephews. My mini albums are coming along slowly but surely. I have 3 mini albums started at the moment. Last few days I have been working on my mini album from Marion at http://www.apieceofcraft.com/ So far what little I have done I am pleased with. I have the cover finished I think. lol I have all the pages in the order I want them and I have started to fill the pages. I have never made a vintage album so this is fun. Well I guess that is all for right now.

Vintage Kit Arrived!!!

Yesterday I got my vintage kit from Marion at http://www.apieceofcraft.com/ I was so excited I had to open it right away. It had some cute things in there. I got like 13 pieces of paper a chipboard album a few ribbons some prima flowers which are my favorite prima flowers. They are the ones with newspaper print and script. Very cute. And a couple of other goodies. I was so excited I started on it soon after I got it and usually it takes me a long time to design my cover but this just took minutes. The cover turned out really cute. Can't wait to finish the whole album. I don't know what i am going to use this album for yet but it would make a great one for a little girl or mom or grandma. Also I am working on a mini album of my nephew and another album that has a 7gypsies look to it. I love 7gypsies. Well I had better go I have to go to work soon. So I better finish getting ready.

Working on blog!

I am so new to making a blog but it is so fun. I have always had a interest in computers. So if anyone has tips on how to make my blog more fun or organized or any suggestions I would like to hear them. There is so much to learn. I will hopefully be adding photos soon of some of the stuff I have made or working on. I ordered a kit from Marion at http://www.apieceofcraft.com/ and after I get it and complete it I will post pics of that too. She always has some great kits for sale so you should check that out at her site. Also her and the ladies from the Girls Gone Scrappy monthly kit club have some awesome tutuorials on youtube. Well I guess that is all for now!
