Getting there...

....slowly....so...many....plans.....

1) I need to get my album of CTMH samples DONE.

2) I need to go to IKEA and get m'self a kickass shelf for storing stuff...I am agonizingly frustrated by having to go upstairs, downstairs...heck, even out to the garage (ACK!!) to find supplies.

3) I need a vacation.

Okay, so that last one is a dream, but still...I AM going to Nav-Can in April!!! :-) WOO HOO!!! Just me. No kids. No meals to make. No alarm clock. NO little fingers under the bathroom door when I'm trying to hide and/or pee.

I digress.

I made a layout and a card at a....well...10 hours gal-pal crop I went to last Saturday ;-) too much gabbing, but very theraputic!!

Both contain solely CTMH products.

As an aside...I need a new printer. Mine won't print properly NOR will it scan properly. The glass is warped. How can glass be warped, you ask? I don't know...but it is. I swear!! ;-) As for the printing issues...could be from the little ornamental ROCK I plucked from it's bowels yesterday...courtesy of Thing 1, I'd imagine...he NEEDS to know how everything works....what he lacks is the capacity to realize that he's BREAKING the damned things!!! ARGH!!!! I'm loving the Epson I currently have...very cost efficient on the inks...let me know if you have one you love that has a scanner, k?

Keep up the creativity!!!

Dahlia Fold Cards

I love them. End of story.

Dahlia fold cards are the BEST way to get that "my card is better than your card." Period. ;-) LOL!!!

These little beauties I will be teaching at Tina's Scrapbooking Creations (http://www.tinascrapbooking.com/) on October 4th, 2008 at 1 p.m. Check out her website for some new products and such, too!!! THEN....head on over to her design team gallery where you'll find....ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am SOOOOOOO excited to have been selected as part of her design team for the 2008-2009 season!!!! :-) Thanks, Tina...I'm honoured!!!

These cards feature the "Love You" line by Daisy Bucket...by far my most favourite paper line company for doing dahlia fold cards!! First, because they're THIN papers. This makes it so much easier to fold the little pieces (what pieces, you ask? come take the class!!) Second, because they're double sided. I'm always looking for "more bang for your buck". And for these particular folds, it just makes sense. THIRD? I love the colours.

Hope you find inspiration today!!

Loooooooooong week!!!

Well, I've FINALLY made a few things!! phew! I was starting to suffer some serious withdrawals, I tell you!! Between the new daycare girls (the hell was I thinking??) and Hannah's surgery, well....you know. I'm too tired to even type!!!

So. I got me just a bitty of the new Basic Grey Euphoria line...just a teaser, mind you...I'm off to the Scrapbox (http://www.thescrapbox.ca/) to get momma some more ;-) Anyhooooooooo....I've been wanting to do up some cards FOREVER...and I've finally done it!! LOL ya, five...I understand the irony...considering the "whole stack" I really want to get to!!!

I'm STILL trying to figure out what kind of a scanner to buy :-( bloody hell...I hate taking pics of all the stuff!! You never get the "true" colours and texture of anything!!! ARGH!! So if you have one you love, lemme know!!
