I'm still here...

Sorry everyone! I'm still here. I just have been uber busy with getting some Holiday gifts together, dealing with the holidays....

There are so many great crafters out there, you won't miss me.

but in case you do--

here's a photo for you to keep you smiling until I can get back.... (don't wet yourself, Marlene)

Supernatural Convention

One of my very first (ambitious) scrapbooking projects I made was last April.  It was ambitious in that I had never done a scrapbook before.  I don't really scrapbook as it seems so overwhelming.  So, in an effort to overcome this perception, I made my two friends a little memorial of our trip to the Supernatural Convention in Los Angeles.  (Yes, I know. Geeking out on you.)

I supplemented the scrapbook with quotes and photos that I got from the internet.
[I didn't put a lot of embellishments because I didn't want to cover the scrapbook paper that I used in the background.]

Happy Birthday to Marlene

Thanksgiving Bird

Happy Weekend-Before-Thanksgiving:

This was made with 3 Birds on Parade.  I really like this cartridge.  I used stickers that I got on the clearance aisle at Target (I think).  The ribbon is from Michaels.  The leaves are from Create A Critter and I just used the white gel pen.  The paper was from Recollections (at Michaels) however the little gingham paper was from a thick paper set from DCWV "Flower Shop."

A balanced diet... a Cookie in each hand

Count Blessings, Not Calories !!!!

Llamas!

Yesterday, during SamUL's agility class, a Llama group walked by.  They were on their way to lunch at a local park and stopped to let us pet them.  They were very friendly and comfortable with people.  I had picked up SamUL and let him sniff the Llama.  Here are the photos to follow... (Thanks Leah for taking these photos!)  Both dog and llama smelled each other but were uninterested in developing any further acquaintance.

This llama's name is Dalai Llama

I've been making cards but alas, the natural light is fading away and so I will have to photo the cards tomorrow.  

MARY'S MINI ALBUM BLOG HOP

Mary, over at CardZtv is having a mini album blog hop.  I've made a few mini albums in my time and all of them have been because of Mary. She has such great videos  This is a recent "Toilet Paper Roll" mini album that I made for a friend whose dog's name is Zoe.  

These are the tags for the album (front side)

Amuse-Bouche:

The winds returned a bit today (although not as bad as two weeks ago).  It was a lovely day in So Cal so I'm glad I was out running errands and taking the boys to Subway, rather than staring at the ceiling with Kleenex stuffed up my nose.  

Off to watch "Hot Tub Time Machine." Hopefully John Cusack will make it all worth while as I've heard mixed reviews on this movie. 80's ROCK!

Hair Crimped, hair ribbon from Crafting Store, skirt from Forever21 or one of those Teen stores in the mall, legwarmers and bangles, gloves and earrings from one of those mall stores, leggings from WalMart or Target, and attitude?  MINE!

 

Congestion.... BE GONE!

The winds started a little over a week ago in So Cal. Most of the time, I can avoid getting allergy-related issues but this time, it got me.  So, I spent most of the weekend staring at the ceiling, watching Supernatural (season 5), popping Mucimex, downing cough syrup, and thinking of all the cards I wanted to make when I could sit upright again.  Luckily, I had my own furry hot water bottles to keep me warm.

This is how I felt most of the week!

Here is a card I started coloring last night with my Prismacolor pencils.  I used some Stickles to bling it up.

The sentiment came from an acrylic set that I got from Michaels.  The flower came from Michaels--- oh, and the ribbon? That came from Michaels.

OHHHH good grief... and the snail came from The Digi Shack: Brian Lock!!!
