scrapped at the church crop today. a little group i call “scrap-n-chat”.

of course, it involved drinking a starbucks while we scrapped!

i’ve been wanting to scrap this picture of lisa & i at starbucks.

finally did.

appropriate title: “venti-sized friendship”

(for those of you that don’t drink starbucks, gasp, a venti=large)

looking forward to a great family weekend…hopefully….a relaxing weekend!

scraps of the past

categories: cup'a caffeine, new camera pix, simply scrappin, Uncategorized

still getting used to my new camera. just taking basic pix.

decided to get out some scrapbooks and take pictures of past layouts.

some of them may be familiar, or not.

it’s nice to look back and remember times / events.

guess that’s why i love scrapbooking so much.

baby steps

categories: new camera pix, simply scrappin, Uncategorized

ok.

so, my hubby bought me a new camera for my bday.

(he’s been nagging me to actually use it.)

i’m weird.

when i receive a gift, especially something large or detailed, i wait.

and wait.

i don’t use it right away.

i will. but, in my own time. when i’m comfortable. when i’m ready. and i don’t want “people” watching me use it for the first time, or telling me how to do it. (ha) (stubborn?? me??)

i take baby steps.

the first day, i watched one of the dvd’s that came with it. (yes, i am one of THOSE people).

the second day, i took stuff out of the boxes, looked at it all, and charged the battery.

TODAY, i turned it on and took a picture. lol.

anyways,

using the photo that i took of us on my bday, (with my phone),

i scrapped a layout today…..

so, i thought it would be my first “subject”.

the pictures are only taken on automatic. i only adjusted the flash.

remember,

baby steps.

ok. new topic.

i love this tool!

i bought my first “distresser tool” last night.

LOVE IT!

as you can see on the layout, i used it alot!!!!

another new tool, these wonderful tweezers.

they work perfectly picking up these adorable little pearl embellishments.

well, that’s all. hopefully, as i figure out this camera, (in my own time), the quality will improve!!

happy tuesday!

altered gift box

categories: simply scrappin, Uncategorized

can’t believe it’s 2009!! happy New Year!

we enjoyed the night at home.

our nephew came over and hung out with nick… a little rock band, a little “dark knight”, lots of snacks & computer time…hubby hung out with the boys.

i got a lot done. enjoyed alone time in the other end of the house…

organized my 2008 bills & paperwork.

ate yummies, like hot wings & monkey munch…

(watched a marathon of dog the bounty hunter…shame on me, but i like that show!)

earlier today bought some after-Christmas clearance at walmart. (love it!!!)

bought some of the typical white gift boxes–dirt cheap.

got home and felt scrappy, so i decided to cover one of the boxes with some supplies i had on hand. i had wanted to make an “after holiday de-stress gift” for a friend at church, so i thought this would be perfect.

here’s how:

all you need is either the top pc. of the box or the bottom
find some coordinating patterened paper
trace sides of box, to place inside
line sheets of paper with adhesive and carefully place against inside firmly
do the same with the inside bottom
next comes the outside and bottom, which is done the same way also
lastly comes any kind of embellishments that you might want to add. i kept it simple. i ran some ribbon thru my sticker maker and wrapped it around. added some bling and a sentiment. that’s it!
used some coordinating tissue to cushion the items inside
since the theme is “after holiday de-stress”, i bought her favorite body wash, some super lotion, foot cream, a shower puff and of course some chocolate–starbucks–even better!

hope that makes sense!

it was really easy, but if you have questions, feel free to contact me!
