Thanksgiving Blog Hop Day 1

Well this is it, the blog hop has started. I should be the last one on your list, so be sure to check my list to see that you have hit everyone. If you are just starting, you need to go to http://digi-scrap.blogspot.com/ .

All righty!!! For those of you in the right place, I will be doing a drawing on Monday for some Blog Candy. More information and pictures of the candy are further down in the post. I hope you have enjoyed your journey through the 2 day Thanksgiving Blog Hop. I am glad to have you here. I have jumped out of my comfort zone and created a card. I usually do scrapbook layouts cause this is my true love. Well a friend said I need to work doing more cards. So here is my creation:

Here is the inside:

The cut is found on the Celebrate with Flourish lite cartridge available at Walmart. The only thing that I did was made 3 cuts of the Acorn layer on the large flourish and 2 cuts on the small flourish (inside the card). I then trimmed the pieces to have the bottom (the seed), the center (acorn cap), and the top (the stem) so it would have a more layered look on the large flourish on the front of the card. The smaller flourish in the inside of the card I only did the bottom (the seed) for the layer. The large flourish on front of card was cut at 2.25", the small flourish inside the card was cut at 1.25", both these cuts where done using the Design Studio software. All the cut pieces were inked with Dew Drop - Versa Magic - Jumbo Java chalk ink.

The paper that was used was Creative Memories for the pattern paper, not sure of the pattern name. The cardstock is from my stash, so don't actually know the maker. The fiber is from a grab bag I purchased a while ago, and the brads are from Queen & Co. The stamp set used is from The Pink Stamper - Everyday Life collection using Dew Drop - Versa Magic - Jumbo Java chalk ink on a standard A2 card.

Hope you liked all that you saw and remember tomorrow is another project and another chance to win some Blog Candy.

Fall Cleaning

I know not fun, but very neccessary in my house. For the last 2 days I have been cleaning and designing on the DS. Well lets say cleaning 90% of the time and 10% designing and surfing. lol

Well I have purged several files, a closet and several drawers. I have filled 2 large trash bags with stuff to throw away.  I still have 1/2 of my craft room to finish with and my daughters room (dreading DD room). Those will have to wait till next week onTuesday or Thursday.

I am going to go to the Scrapbook Expo in Sacramento on Friday with a good friend of mine. Her name is Wendy or better known as the "Bling Queen". Here is the link to her blog: http://lvscrappin.blogspot.com/   she does some amazing things with her paper crafting. I am really looking forward to going to the Expo, I haven't been to one in years.

TGIF!!!!!!!

Well it is finally over and I can get down to doing what I love to do. That is scrap!!! It was a very busy day today. Up at 6am, get DH out the door, get ready for work, wake up little one and get her ready for school. This all by 7:15am. Then, get on line and order the new 123 Stamp video by Above Rubies. Love her videos, she makes things clear and simple. Then out the door at 7:35am, drop little one off at school and run to work. Well that was fine, but then got home at 3:45 and rushed to get into some grubby clothes so I could mow the lawn before it started to rain. My yard had not been mowed in over 3 weeks and I was waiting for the neighbors to start leaving messages on my door about how bad it looked. lol Well that took me an hour, cause I did the back yard as well. So now at 5pm I am so tired that I want to just drop, so get into the shower, get dressed, blow dry my hair and then run to pick up my little one at the after school program by 6:30pm. Made it bearly, but hey I did it. Came home and got her into the shower, and started dinner, fed the dog, started a load of laundry and cleaned up the kitchen counter of all the mess that was on the counter from the last week of mail and garbage that my family leave there. Well finally DH gets home and I just finished dinner, so it was good he was late. We ate dinner, watched the last night of the Novella that DH and I have been watching for months now, it was 2 hours tonight. Oh, a Novella is a spanish Soap Opera, it just doesn't go on more than 6 months to max a year. By the way, didn't like the ending. LOL So I figured I had better post something today before hitting the hay.

Sorry about the soap box of my day, but tomorrow it is a scrappin I will be doing. YEAH!!!! Got a blog hop to get ready for next weekend.

Oh, on a good note my friend Monique is doing great and will be getting out of the hospital tomorrow. So glad!!! She will be recooping for awhile then start the radiation and drugs that she will be put on. So please keep her in your prayers.

Good night all and God Bless you all.
