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!!!

Dirt and divas....

I friggin LOVE taking pictures of my kids!!! :-) seriously, to do a layout of, say, a flower? unheard of!! LOL one day I'll surprise you, I promise!!!

So another all-day crop yielded wonderful results...I was ON the game, I tell ya!! Finally dug out my BG "Archaic" and actually USED it...I love this stuff....fibres, chipboard stickers....PERFECT with having two littles "Things" that highlight it's FUN!!!


And I took a trip outside the box and played with my new Heidi Swapp goodies...pink and black? I think it turned out well!! I layered the birds in the bottom left-hand corner...hand cut the largest, the second is a transparency and the last is a little PINK mirror bird!!! I also layered the title, I've never done that before...I could be addicted already ;-) The "sassy" is Heidi Swapp bling over her foam alphas that co-ordinate with the paper line...


Lastly, I got to do a couple of single pages....one of Thing 2 lookin' all devious...little cutie!!!



And of Hannah stopping to "smell the roses"....which, in this case is a weed...dandelion ;-)


Looking forward to this week...I'm going to try to learn how to scan my images, instead of almost tossing my camera out the door!! :-)
