1000 sheets for A thousand sheets... again!

Today is a very special day here at the A thousand sheets of paper blog. :)

Remember last year when I kept track of how many different sheets of paper I cut into as I crafted, then celebrated reaching 1000 sheets along with my blog-o-versary with some super special candy? Well... I did it again and this year not only did I miss my July 16th blog-o-versary date, it also took me a couple weeks longer to reach the 1000 sheet milestone. What can I say? I must have been playing more with scraps. ;)
But we are here now and I am so excited to share my paper crafting craziness with all of you for a second year in a row, LOL!

Because I'm in the mood to celebrate (and clear out some paper) I've got A THOUSAND 6x6 sheets of paper that I'm giving away! Wanna see what 1000 sheets of paper looks like? Take a look-see...
That's a lot of paper, huh? Perhaps just a bit much to send all to one person, so I'm breaking it apart into five candies of 200 sheets each. And the fun doesn't stop there! I couldn't celebrate another wonderful, exciting, fantabulous and simply amazing year of stamping and blogging without throwing some stamps into the mix as well! So I have collected stamps from some of my most favorite companies into one MEGA CANDY!
Wanna know what all is included? There is:

• Tickled Pink Lil Steampunk Lilith and others
• Kraftin Kimmie Clarabelle, sentiments and others
• The Emerald Fairies Larakins
• Some Odd Girl Balloon Kaylee and Mooey
• My Favorite Things Pure Innocence Book in Hand
• The Craft's Meow Frieda stamps

• and a Sweet November stamp from each release of this past year (Raspberry Flitter Friend, Briar and Sonata, Princess Isadora, Splash and Wave, Penelope and Juniper, Gemini, Darby and Dazzle, Milk and Cookies Christmas boy, Neva snowflake fairy, Fairwee Josie, jar and sentiments)

Wondering what you need to do for a chance to win all of these plus some yummy paper? Well, because this is pretty big and I'm pretty excited about it, I really want to spread the word sooooo... in order to be eligible to win the grand prize you have to post about the 1000 sheets blog candy on your own blog (feel free to right click and use the paper photo above), linking directly back to this post. Once you've done that, just leave a comment here and you will be entered... easy peasy! Like always, I will ship anywhere so all are welcome to play! :)

Hawaii Themed Blog Hop Day 2

Well happy Sunday. Welcome to Day 2 of the Hawaii Themed Blog Hop hosted by Nicolette at Beyond Scrapin. You should have arrived here from Anita's Blog, if not be sure to hop over to Nicolette's at Beyond Scrapin to start your journey.

Hawain Altered Clorox Wipe Container:

This is an empty Clorox Wipe container that I have made into a Pencil/Pen holder for my little one.

The Hula Girl was from Paper Doll Cricut Cartridge cut at 4". I inked the hair, lei, and grass skirt.

The flowers are Prima, but I mixed and matched to get the colors I wanted. Used a copper colored brad to pull them together.

I cut a 2 3/4 inch circle with a 2 1/4 circle layer for the top of the lid. Then used a 3D sticky dot to attach the Prima.

The Clorox Wipe holder part inside the container I removed with a craft knife to make it easier to place pencils and pen into container. The paper used is by BoBunny's Mango Luau Dude (the striped paper) and Mango Luau (the brown with orange flowers).

Hope you enjoyed my Altered Clorox Wipe Container project. Thank you for hopping on to my blog, and I always love to read all of your comments. So please continue on the hop by going on over to Haidee's blog to continue your Hawain journey.

May your Sunnday be blessed and full peace and love.

Hawaii Theme Blog hop August 20th and 21st

Well hello to you all, hope your week was a pleasant one. Welcome the Day 1 of the Hawaii Theme Blog Hop, hosted by Nicolette at Beyond Scrapin. You should have arrived here from Anita's Blog, if not be sure to hop over to Nicolette's at Beyond Scrapin to start your journey.

I had originally made a beautiful 2 page 8x8 layout for this hop. Well my dog has some real odd taste buds and loves the taste of stickles. I forgot to close the door to my craftroom last night and well my fur baby decided to eat my layouts. So this is what I have put together out of what I could salvage and some of my stash items that I have been holding on to. It isn't really the way I want it, but it is ok. I will have to mess with it over the next couple of days to see if I need to add or rearrange the items some. Well enough about the drama of my crafting world. My family is home and safe, we are all breathing. So with the Grace of God I am very thankful.

In the Islands - Aloha layout:

Yes, it is a very simple layout, but it will be the one that will have a picture of my family and I with the Lei's around our necks. The first picture we will take when we get to Hawaii.

This is a License Tag from a swap I was in back in 2005. This is the main piece I saved from the 2 page layout my dog chewed up. I loved the Flamingo dancing with a Hula Skirt. It is so Hawain to me.

The Flops are from my stash and I added some pen marks with a white gel pen. I believe the cut is from "Life's a Beach" Cricut Cartridge.

My little one decided that we needed to say something that would make it Hawaii and not some other islands. So she wrote on the Sun "Aloha" in black gel pen. I added white gel pen marks to have it stand out more on the page. This cut was also from my stash, but can't for the life of me remember which cartridge it was cut from.

The Palm Tree is from the "Life's a Beach" Cricut Cartridge. I added some white gel pen marks just to add something to make it stand out more. This was also in my stash of cuts (I have 14 of these 11 x 8 1/2 inch accordian file folders full of different cuts and swap items that I have yet to use. I am trying to cut that down at least by one folder by the end of this year.)

These are some fantastic Inchies that I swapped in an Inchie swap about 2 years ago. I just love them with all their little details. The Surf Board is so cool.

These are some more of those Inchies that I got in the same swap. The Flip Flop are pop dotted off the inchies and they are so cute.

This is my favorite Inchie! The Palm Tree is a die cut and the Green layer is also a die cut. The Palm is only about 1/2 inch in size. It is really one of the best. I wish the picture was better, but my I don't have the right lens for close-ups.

Well I hope you enjoyed my quick and very Eco Friendly/Green layout. Thank you for hopping over to my blog. I love to read all of your comments. So please continue on the hop by going on over to Haidee's blog to continue your Hawain journey.

May your weekend be blessed and full of nothing but joy and happiness.

Update and information

Hi all, hope your week is going well. Mine is getting better finally, my son will be coming home tomorrow from the hospital. These past several weeks have been really very hard to deal with. I am not saying it is going to be easier when he comes home, if fact it will be harder, but he will be home and that to me is the most important thing to me. Also one of my family members is going in to surgery on Friday morning, so one more thing on my plate. I have been so very stressed that someone very sweet is letting go out on Saturday to relax and try to unwind a bit. I don't want to really go anywhere, but I know that I really need to get away and try to relax. Hopefully I will be able to come home Saturday and not be so up tight and stressed.

On a brighter side, this weekend I am participating in the Hawaii Themed Blog Hop hosted by Nicolette at Beyond Scrappin. So be sure to hop over and see all the wonderful projects that will be presented on so many wonderful blogs. I look forward to getting all of your comments.

God bless you and keep you all.

Thank you all for hopping on this weekends hop and hope to see you next month on the "Autum is Here Blog Hop" September 10th & 11th. I look forward to seeing you there.

A shout out to Zeni

A fine hello to you all out there. Hipe you all had a wonderful weekend. Today I send a shout out thank you to Zeni at Scrappy Zeni. I was a guest on her blog on August 6th while she was on vacation. Well I owe her an appology for not having my post up here on my site. Well unfortunatly some really bad thing have happened in the last couple of weeks with one of my children. I totally forgot about this post plus others that I was doing. So I am posting this now to show the project that I made and to say you really need to head over to Zeni blog and see some of her fantastic projects.

Here is my project that Zeni posted on August 6th. This project was a gift for a very good friend of mine who is a teacher. Her friends and I call her the Post-It Queen, cause everything has a some kind of Post-It note.

The project I created is a Post-It Holder Book. I used only scraps of papers that I had in my scrap bind. The stamps I used are from Stampin Up (Awash with Flowers and Friends 24-7). The images are colored using Prisma Color Pencils and paint thinner to blend the color. I inked the edge with Stampin Up - Pumpkin Pie ink. The inside has a pocket with a note card inside to write on. The Book holds the regular size Post-Its and the 1/2 size Post-Its. The book also has a Pen holder to hold a standard Bic Pen. The 2 books vary in size, due to one holding 2 regular Post-It Note Pads and 2 of the 1/2 size ones.

I learned how to make this from YouTube video from ChicnScratch. You can look it up under Post It Note Organizer.
Again a sincere apology to Zeni for not getting this up on August 6th. So please be sure to head over to Zeni's blog and take a look at all the great work she does.
