No Time

There just hasn't been anytime lately to get any scappin' done. I think about it, but unfortunately, thinking doesn't scrap itself. Hopefully the near future will have scrap time in its agenda.

Thrill of the Kill

 
I can honestly say that I enjoy buying scrapbook supplies more than I enjoy scrappin' with them. The "thrill of the kill" of buying the supplies is exciting and doesn't take much brain power, unlike all the decisions that go into creating a layout. So this layout is dedicated to all the scrapbooking supplies in the stores that I haven't yet bought or haven't got the money to buy!

Another one bites the dust!

 

This layout took me forever to finish! It was either this LO or me that was about to bite the dust! It feels so good to have it completed. One more down for my yearly goal of 300! Please double click on the picture (any picture) to make it bigger so that you can read the journal strips.

Rachel's a Design Team Member

Congratulations to Rachel for being a new design team member at Feeling Scrappy! YEAH! That means my scrappin' techniques will improve greatly! YEAH!!! I am so excited for her. I just saw the posting and called Rachel to congrats her and she didn't even know she had won yet. I knew if she applied she would get the job. Congrats to Rachel!

Love, Elsie & Stampin' Up Party

 
I went to Hobby Lobby with my 40% off coupon and came out with a great find, a 120 pack of Love, Elsie paper! I love this line of paper. It is sorda geared toward teenagers and that is what I scrap about! I was so excited to find this and only pay $12.00 for the pack.

Saturday, Rachel had invited me to go to her Stampin' Up party. Cay had called me and I invited her to come too. We had the best time! I hadn't been to a stampin' party in forever and it was so nice to get away from kids and hang out and talk about our disease. It was alot of fun. Kim Mayfield was the demonstrator and she was awesome. She knows what she's doing in the stampin' department. If you need some Stampin' Up, I can hook you up!

Web cams for inspiration

I have read several blogs where inspiration is nowhere in sight. By reading that, it has jinxed my inspiration! I am 3/4 way done with a layout and then I went blank. Even though I absolutely love scrappin in my closet, it's just not the same as getting together and scrappin with friends and sharing ideas with each other. If we can't get together, then I recommend that we all get web cams for the purpose of sharing inspiration. What do you say? Because I sure needed some last night!

I'm a Feelin Scrappy Challenge Winner!

I participated in one event Sunday and the one layout was good enough to win a stamp! I was shocked and was feeled with emotions. I would now like to read my acception speech: I want to thank my mom for giving me birth, my huband for supporting my disease and CM who got me going into scrapbooking and to Rachel Ricks, and that one phone call that changed my scrappin life. You opened a whole new world to me and I'll always be appreciative to you for that and all the days we just sit around and yak about scrappin. Thanks for giving me the confidence I needed to post my first of many pages on Feelin Scrappy. And for Feeling Scrappy, you rock!

The winning page is below: Catchin' Nothin'

Feeling Scrappy Challenge

 
I did this page as a challenge of using buttons on a page. I was excited to have another page complete! Unfortunately, I am too tired to do anymore, so I am done for the day. I need me rest for school this week. Good luck to all who will compete in the challenges today.

Cleaning the closet

 

 

After I did my cleaning, it was time to move on to my scrapbooking closet. I had let it slide recently. I really need more space, but I should be happy to have a closet! Since I have been sick, I hav'e gotten much use out of it this week. Hopefully that will change quickly this weekend. Anytime I clean a room or area, it is a area that I enjoy to be in. This is the cleanest I have had my closet in a while and hopefully it will bring me the inspiration I need . if not, I'll mess it up as I know I can produce great pages ina messy closet!

Under the influence of pnuemonia

 
This page came out pretty good! I love the colors and used three different cricut cartridges for the letters and embellishments. I really do love my home in Alabama the Beautiful. It's where my roots run deep.
