practical scrappers challenge

Ok, well this little mini I made is all over the place.  Some items are at least 4-5 years old!!

First off the main album is not new...it's from the March MemoryWorks Express Kit. 

Paper is from Rhonna Fahrer...at least 4 years old!  The cut out words are from some

stamplike paper I had from God knows when...my early days of scrapping...so maybe from 2003?

the letters on the background on the left page from a clearance bin last year.  The stamped image on the right page is a Heidi Swapp stamp from Memory Works, circa 2008.  Flowers are from the course of the last year or two.  Other paper is Jenni Bowlin, last year from MW as well.

Ok, the flowers on the lower left there are again, circa 2007!  It's amazing

what you find when you go digging into your stash!

Again, large heart on bottom left...same Daisy D die cut pack, circa 2007!

thanks for looking...hope you find some oldies but goodies in your stash!!

Here's another one I am working on...

I bought this album in Pidgeon Forge, Tennessee at this big scrapbook outlet there..in 2006!

The clear title is from about 2007..MME kit from Memory Works...album isn't done yet, only the cover.

I'll post more when I get it done!

These are new from Memory Works!  I made these cute little baskets for my table settings at Easter. 

You can fit a small cupcake in them, or jelly beans.  They are super easy to make and

quick!

I used products from the March Memory Works Express Kit,

 and Little Chick papers from 3 Bugs in a Rug.

I love the button flowers...from the MW Express Kit!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!!

My new chairs

I finally got new chairs for my dining room..nothing spectacular, but I really like them.  Kind of mission, plain and NO FABRIC!!  Much better for cleaning up after the kids.  Now I just have to get rid of the old one's that are sitting behind my garage...

Practical Scrappers

I love Practical Scrappers !!  They have the greatest challenges to use up your stash...and goodness knows I have lots in my stash!  This week's challenge is to make a project or layout that uses items that are over one year old.  And boy, do I have alot of that!  so that's my goal this week...join me!  I'll post my pic here when I'm done...

Happy Scrapping!

288 eggs

Ok, so this month on the MW board, we did an egg swap in celebration of upcoming Easter.  So all  24 participants filled little plastic eggs with whatever scrappy goody could fit and sent them to me.  Then in turn I separated them into 24 bags and mailed them all back.  So all total, I sorted 288 eggs and packed them into 24 separate boxes!  Whew!  How fun, but time consuming!  I am happy to say that all the eggs are in the post offices hands now!  Watch your mailboxes for eggies..hope none hatch on the way!!

It's been a while...

No doubt, I've fell off the blog bandwagon for the last week or so, as well as the scrapping bandwagon!  I haven't touched a brad or used a punch in over a week.  Nor have I been on my MW Studio page!  But that will all change today.  I have to get back into the swing.  I have a swap to swap out {i think we all have our stuff in} and lots of other catching up to do. 

My creative outlets have been in another realm...grouting and tilework...to be exact, finishing my bathroom that has been un-grouted for the past ummmm...2 years!  So it's done {almost}.  Just two more tiles to go and then some touch up paint and a decision on how to make the floor look a little better.  I've also been tackling repainting the staircase.  I got the risers primed yesterday, so hopefully today I can get two coasts of gloss on them.  Then it's onto the banister.  Yuk! 

I finally was able to order my new dining room chairs and they should be here in a few short days..hooray!!!!!  So, have a little free time this morning, gotta go catch up. BTW, weather has been great so we've been outside playing some more!

In checking everything out that I have missed, I found some great ideas over at the MW blog..check em out!!
