My first Pinterest Project is complete! I created the ever so popular Teacher Toolbox. Here is the </span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://pinterest.com/source/mrsrojasteaches.blogspot.com/">Pin</a> </span><span style="background-color: white;"> that inspired my creation. If you do a search on Pinterest for "Teacher Toolbox" you will find several for Pinspiration. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> I bought my box at Home Depot; it was around $17. Since I have a little baby and I am all about the shortcuts, I decided not to repaint it like many people chose to do. Plus I actually like grey. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">So here is a look at the front.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />

I added some cheap vinyl decals that I bought at JoAnns last year on clearance. I was going to use my Cricut, but I am trying to use the stuff I buy and hoard.<br />

I created custom labels using Microsoft Word. There are so many creative crafters out there that have labels on their blogs as freebies and on Teachers pay Teachers but none of them matched what I wanted.<br />

If I was to make another one...which I am not...but if I did I would try to match up the colors with decals.<br />

Karlee was there too. There was this young girl who made Robyn a very cute card, Robyn was so touched. I thought she was going to cry...she spent some time talking to the girl and her family.

I didn't win anything, but it was fun just to hang out at the booth.

I have to say the pictures on her blog and videos do not do her work justice. Her work in person is breathtaking. The little details she adds to make it special...you just cannot see it in a picture. Emma was so sweet giving everyone hugs, and taking pictures. I was overwhelmed that I go to meet Emma too! It is so nice to meet the people who inspire you. Thank you!<br /><br /><br />I went a little overboard at the Peachy Keen Stamps Booth. I got the penguin and the kitty Cottage Cuts, along with some of their stamp sets that Emma uses on her projects. I cannot wait to use the stamp set for the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Zooballoo</span> cartridge. Peachy Keen Stamps had some of there stamps on clearance too...so I hit the clearance bin <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">a little</span> hard too. You only live once.<br /><br />I am going back today. I still have more to post from yesterday, and hope to have more today!

I have been emotionally exhausted these past few days, hence the reason I haven't posted. I forgot <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">CHA</span> was even today. I thought it was Saturday and Sunday. Well that was until my best crafting buddy, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Quiana</span>, called me this morning, and was surprised I wasn't in my car on my way to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Rosemont</span>. While we were talking, I was debating on whether I should go or not. It is not that I didn't want to go. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">CHA</span> was going to be the highlight of my summer (besides hanging out with my favorite person in the whole wide world, my son). It is just I feel a little overwhelmed. School starts back for me in less than a month, and my son starts Kindergarten in a few short weeks too. There is so much to do to get ready for this upcoming school year. Plus I had kind-of dropped the ball on the whole thing...I didn't sign up for workshops or find anyone who could go with me. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Quiana</span> is out of town at her cousin's wedding...she didn't feel right ditching the wedding for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">CHA</span>---I see where her priorities are--<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">LOL</span>!!<br /><br />However after my son so sweetly offered to go with me to keep me company and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Quiana</span> reminded me that I need to go and do it for myself, I stopped feeling sorry for myself and got ready and headed out to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">Rosemont</span>. And I am so glad I did. I had an amazing time. I cannot believe how much fun I had without doing any of the workshops. So here are some pictures of a few things that I made at the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">JoAnn's</span> Booth. I hope you enjoy.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 179px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499922777773128354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnWjnHXiY3-0C9lRzVwLXU63vUa_OdlIjqrKJsUiO_fJarvlfrtJzhitNktJzR173yYd5Pzc1VCAPf4iZzxz9iBvUNzzqGn6-CfmiAjt_fchHSxfr7ECV7iajuKic_-3_Q7jNnqw5DF5vO/s320/IMG_1200.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 179px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499922770412346786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMXgHvwn5DlWMENMbL-fsATj9cINMgaIyzWPKJTQkaFhyphenhyphen8yD68hFBHNQfrCYNq03864oNZsR_5Iu7msZ3KsQa_PXC-5miig7oCykKN9x8FgMybdSW6wH_LSGb9YL0xsIfPMzARCEc6cKma/s320/IMG_1197.JPG" /> This was the make and take from <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">JoAnn's</span> booth using <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">Core'dinations</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error">cardstock</span>.

One of them was inspired by my BFF. She made a very simullar card for a friend of hers. I loved it so much I had to make one myself. <br /><br />Our trip was an adventure...Of course our flight was delayed. We were stuck on the runway for over 2 hours. Then we had to turn around and refuel. Plus they had to let us off the plan in order to avoid a fine. Thanks be to God we arrived safely and had an amazing trip. The flight home was good...no delays. I am happy to be home, and I able to post these for you. I hope you enjoy.</div></div></div></div></div>Blahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09842978636089329214noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622301948920246512.post-11326011767850491012010-07-20T19:17:00.001-07:002010-07-20T19:50:13.829-07:00Cool Air and a Cool Card<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgizaAck5-3lLocdFCSZtSPYX93K3wPpDjY8KjSPH124qftObvA6nWN41zTqzUXJh5IOi1a5rUZ4MZgOrtvaEROG8-DmhdPqkco4nweVANGD7FGoKpt7Jjzra3n6zwAQb40CSOxjoggjzJl/s1600/IMG_0989.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 179px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496179860216422802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgizaAck5-3lLocdFCSZtSPYX93K3wPpDjY8KjSPH124qftObvA6nWN41zTqzUXJh5IOi1a5rUZ4MZgOrtvaEROG8-DmhdPqkco4nweVANGD7FGoKpt7Jjzra3n6zwAQb40CSOxjoggjzJl/s320/IMG_0989.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicqsicIG6dMZdSEvH0TasXM1tl68i4CiUYmgDBLGgvBBg-aaVgZN0ROiLLuaC88ffqTFS2j3faYm9QFdVLJqE5VGMm2XOe2LRVop8Ct1aRFkA8IO3vrapg3LM0YWpb6bqfnHLnTvSudnWm/s1600/IMG_0994.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 179px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496179849593282514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicqsicIG6dMZdSEvH0TasXM1tl68i4CiUYmgDBLGgvBBg-aaVgZN0ROiLLuaC88ffqTFS2j3faYm9QFdVLJqE5VGMm2XOe2LRVop8Ct1aRFkA8IO3vrapg3LM0YWpb6bqfnHLnTvSudnWm/s320/IMG_0994.JPG" /></a><br />Here is a card I designed on my Gypsy, and cut out on Stampin' Up paper.

It is cooling off outside, so I hope my craftroom will too. I have several cards saved on my Gypsy that I would like to cut out. However I did get good news today, I won something on <a href="http://yourheartsdelight.blogspot.com/">Ana's blog</a>.

I tend to like contemporary design. However, I have this paper stack from October Afternoon called The Thrift Shop and some 3-d Marcella by K stickers that were screaming vintage at me. Here is my attempt. I hope you like. Don't forget to check my post for the winner of my giveaway.

Since I wanted to try to make a word book using my Gypsy/Cricut and Bind-it-All, I thought I would make one for her. Here is what I have so far. I hope you like it.<br /><br />I used the Hello Kitty Font, but I will post the recipe when I complete it. And if I can figure out how to load gypsy files to my blog I will post the design for you too. I am thinking that once it is complete, I am going to give myself credit for the scrapbook pages on my challenge...if my BFF (AKA the moderator of the challenge) agrees.Blahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09842978636089329214noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622301948920246512.post-26701173854673947852010-07-16T19:38:00.000-07:002010-07-16T20:26:14.474-07:00Two Quick and Cute Cards<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLyCovtVz5VmMOCZ_rtGlWOmisGvyFhJRivbgezu75U4g03wGhR0clXOZeoWU1oqGCAVzlqLcWqN2rE8IP96lTHWivHByrzL-v-3C_8NDlbN9MSjfrzlXyoVaYHwF0go405Qpv0F7eOYKA/s1600/IMG_0966.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLyCovtVz5VmMOCZ_rtGlWOmisGvyFhJRivbgezu75U4g03wGhR0clXOZeoWU1oqGCAVzlqLcWqN2rE8IP96lTHWivHByrzL-v-3C_8NDlbN9MSjfrzlXyoVaYHwF0go405Qpv0F7eOYKA/s320/IMG_0966.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494708768872814882" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2k4zS15JlgmncRdDdgI6-Us-yQhq-XgZUPnUMGBSlr-kNrxTh8FerY1cfzmlfNrP_HR_HGBR41bzXdiFdYQwi69mzmuACsEOY2QVWA_ZR2P1yMj3ZivbOppagNIPQiMl1_r6ZETDAgMHA/s1600/IMG_0965.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2k4zS15JlgmncRdDdgI6-Us-yQhq-XgZUPnUMGBSlr-kNrxTh8FerY1cfzmlfNrP_HR_HGBR41bzXdiFdYQwi69mzmuACsEOY2QVWA_ZR2P1yMj3ZivbOppagNIPQiMl1_r6ZETDAgMHA/s320/IMG_0965.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494708760792829826" /></a><br />This card was super simple, and I love how it turned out.<br /><br /><strong>Recipe:</strong><br />Jubilee Cartridge "You Rock" cut at 2 1/4<br />Black Card Stock from Papertrey Ink for the base of the A2 card<br />DCWV Pink from their Glitter Stack for the layer<br />DCWV Guitar patterned paper from their Rock Star Stack for the second layer<br />KI Memories Black Striped Ribbon from JoAnn's<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg10ZQjRNhmr3fhn1wGoUoup298_uYHkrFT9urWjCxFcOjdnX6v3lISpaxNW-nMQqpahXdNwE-YEt4d3y-siXlpbE8pwjKo9Fq4YwElcU9yQB8Jy7IKBLX0fgIEkNN-8YCNqzrUmLu5Z5zl/s1600/IMG_0960.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg10ZQjRNhmr3fhn1wGoUoup298_uYHkrFT9urWjCxFcOjdnX6v3lISpaxNW-nMQqpahXdNwE-YEt4d3y-siXlpbE8pwjKo9Fq4YwElcU9yQB8Jy7IKBLX0fgIEkNN-8YCNqzrUmLu5Z5zl/s320/IMG_0960.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494708739913320178" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmv-a9lL0jAQIwMKLW39NwL_VRITbbS9Yr3y16uTR06inXrdVNBaB9GO3zRnTs11jQDFhMGk_c0BzPwRiAObuYN4X13iFeweQowVvY1Vwk3mX1rO66No9F-IoENvl1NR_NdADKSyAAEYjz/s1600/IMG_0962.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmv-a9lL0jAQIwMKLW39NwL_VRITbbS9Yr3y16uTR06inXrdVNBaB9GO3zRnTs11jQDFhMGk_c0BzPwRiAObuYN4X13iFeweQowVvY1Vwk3mX1rO66No9F-IoENvl1NR_NdADKSyAAEYjz/s320/IMG_0962.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494708746706334882" /></a><br /><br /><br />This card kind of evolved. I bought Inkadinkado floral stamp set from JoAnn's and I thought it would cut out nicely with my square punch from EK Success. Which it does, but it didn't look right with the layer. So I had to cut another layer using my paper trimmer. But eitherway, I like the look.<br /><br /><strong>Recipe:</strong><br />Yellow cardstock for the base of the A2 card, either Papertrey Ink or Stampin' Up<br />DCWV yellow floral paper for the layer from their Pocket Full of Posie Stack<br />Inkadinkado Florish stamp<br />Stampin' Up Elegant Eggplant Paper and Ink<br />Core'dinations Pearly White Card Stock <br />Marcella by K Victoria Butterfly Demensional Stickers<br />Stampin' Up God's Blessing Stamp<br /><br /><strong>Challenge Count Down<br />19 Cards<br />4 Layouts<br />1 Article</strong>Blahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09842978636089329214noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622301948920246512.post-73735310201287569952010-07-15T19:04:00.000-07:002010-07-19T17:40:43.794-07:00Another Throwback Thursday Challenge<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN7Fr4ojqze2HXDtLgFsyjhzkJ8c8iS_pjhreoLi6xJi8PK0-txacKrNZN3VbzfV01Sv4-JT345B5_kC5insxofk-BPWfn37xJhKiZdvydwDQHcG7PBF9hPb7H4TrSiT_FsDPn3zr98OSZ/s1600/IMG_0952.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN7Fr4ojqze2HXDtLgFsyjhzkJ8c8iS_pjhreoLi6xJi8PK0-txacKrNZN3VbzfV01Sv4-JT345B5_kC5insxofk-BPWfn37xJhKiZdvydwDQHcG7PBF9hPb7H4TrSiT_FsDPn3zr98OSZ/s320/IMG_0952.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494330097709604242" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggw29UlXqsgAdm08354BgGFok2NQtrW0S1F2YUEzXJ26nLXtpXtGvfrIHQOj8cagtnAsXUUFvbfV5NQdTdxVrQBqYunpe7DCFaHhdpPgxPwQlnumELdvt9KGnqZqr260ldGRPtrxy43Rd3/s1600/IMG_0955.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggw29UlXqsgAdm08354BgGFok2NQtrW0S1F2YUEzXJ26nLXtpXtGvfrIHQOj8cagtnAsXUUFvbfV5NQdTdxVrQBqYunpe7DCFaHhdpPgxPwQlnumELdvt9KGnqZqr260ldGRPtrxy43Rd3/s320/IMG_0955.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494330090548734370" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiymeHC40nz-obrOVOWiFP1EUK4z6IZZF7T3IogiIohlBwfGrSi6pNI6NSyqW3nXyvmF-IQRhnsPwDvogIsU8oikzqCvUALFHBNyVuPXiSzdTOegY9B4xRsF997ASwajC7qdeN3O0ceHizF/s1600/IMG_0956.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiymeHC40nz-obrOVOWiFP1EUK4z6IZZF7T3IogiIohlBwfGrSi6pNI6NSyqW3nXyvmF-IQRhnsPwDvogIsU8oikzqCvUALFHBNyVuPXiSzdTOegY9B4xRsF997ASwajC7qdeN3O0ceHizF/s320/IMG_0956.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494330081283297458" /></a><br />I couldn't wait until today, so that I could enter into Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge for the second week in a row. Last week was the first challenge I had ever done, and I am so glad that I did it. It was a wonderful experience. Emma is so kind. She personally looks at every one's creation, and leaves a super sweet comment on your post. I am truly touched that she takes the time to look and comment on every entry. Plus, there were a few great ladies that came over to my blog and left really nice comments too. A big "THANK YOU" to Emma and the other participants that make this challenge so much fun.<br /><br />For today's challenge you had to create a card using the Wild Card Cartridge for your favorite holiday. <a href="http://www.creativetimeforme.com/2010/07/throwback-thursday-challenge-7.html">Click here</a> to see the challenge and Emma's video on how to make the cutest pumpkin card.<br /><br />I bought the Wild Card cartridge when it first came out and only used it a couple times. I had a hard time working with it. But after watching Emma's video and using some of her tips on the Gypsy, I now know why so many people rave about this cartridge. I am going to make a few more cards using this cartridge.<br /><br />Christmas is my favorite holiday for numerous reasons. The number one reason is because it is the birth of Jesus Christ. My second reason is because it is the one time our whole family does there best to get together. I love my family, and I love it when we are all together. With that being said, I wanted to make a Christmas card. I used the ornament card on page 74. <br /><br /><br /><br />For this card I used:<br /><br />Stampin' Up Designer's Series Paper Rockabilly Paper<br />Stampin' UP 12 x 12 Card Stock Ruby Red and Old Olive<br />DCWV Glitter Stack Paper<br />Core'dinations Starlight Pearl<br />Stickles Cotton Candy and EucalyptusBlahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09842978636089329214noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622301948920246512.post-67244260724411503722010-07-14T18:31:00.000-07:002010-07-14T19:10:52.224-07:00WOW!

He had one on his mom's side in June, so today he had one with our side of the family. It is always so nice to see my family. My aunts are so sweet and funny. My cousin Erica and her husband Pete gave my brother this box with 100 singles taped together. When he pulled the tag out of the box they all came rolling out. It was such a cute idea. We all are laughing because it is going to take him a long time to take the tape off all of them. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpSdbh4A5p8ipAr11Ciwd8onErUdONg794mYfDt5ZJU3EJelApa-VkOIo7Wq_kNjeHt7juedBkD_-qsILhrEI9Y78PPpDAMHuwaathAWLE6kwSdKcpyP0zR8FGfFUhvj-yNK6rKkiNvfzg/s1600/IMG_0848.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpSdbh4A5p8ipAr11Ciwd8onErUdONg794mYfDt5ZJU3EJelApa-VkOIo7Wq_kNjeHt7juedBkD_-qsILhrEI9Y78PPpDAMHuwaathAWLE6kwSdKcpyP0zR8FGfFUhvj-yNK6rKkiNvfzg/s320/IMG_0848.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492442859147778962" /></a><br /><br /><br />Second, my BFF Quiana sent me the cutest Thank You card in the mail.

But I just finished my page for Emma A's Throwback Thursday Challenge. This week's cartridge is using ZooBalloo making anything with an animal theme. I am excited about how the page turned out. I intended on putting pictures over the elephant, however he is so adorable I couldn't bear to cover him up.

They really helped. I am excited to have new followers, and truly appreciate my BFF for holding me to my challenge. I have to hurry with this challenge because Tim Holtz has an embossing folder I just HAVE TO HAVE!!!<br /><br />I finished a page with the Debbie Mum paper. I really like this one. It took forever to get Count Van Count together, and I still have some pieces that I have no idea what to do with. Next time I will make the characters on the Gypsy, so I can see how the pieces fit and use the "hide contour" feature. That way I won't have to cut the layers out 2 times on two different color papers.<br /><br />Sorry for not posting yesterday...life got in the way.

It turned out great, and I was inspired to create more. Plus, Hobby Lobby has a 40% off coupon which sparked the idea of an all night card making session. Of course it was just that...an idea. I made one card with the Debbie Mum paper, and I was kind of turned off by it. I am hoping to find some creativity somewhere to finish up my challenge. I think I am going to work on my scrapbook pages and see if I can sneak in the Debbie Mum paper there to swap out and still fulfill my challenge.Blahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09842978636089329214noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622301948920246512.post-39890054851637440902010-07-04T09:28:00.000-07:002010-12-29T21:56:53.260-08:001 Down and A Lot More to Go....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmXIRM6qJz80JgRcctlabSKVebZqgM5jByACA0X8juGEpy4Q8HMSJBVLgaJifGuNcSyxRd4_3Xknymw2YV_3LSw94mzNkEDIUd18LDp04l-4i5wrGC7xzBOatOqgQXd8VnzYgKnEj9Znah/s1600/IMG_0736.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 179px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490098822948397858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmXIRM6qJz80JgRcctlabSKVebZqgM5jByACA0X8juGEpy4Q8HMSJBVLgaJifGuNcSyxRd4_3Xknymw2YV_3LSw94mzNkEDIUd18LDp04l-4i5wrGC7xzBOatOqgQXd8VnzYgKnEj9Znah/s320/IMG_0736.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgXRGA__avfnhX3_Opt3OOkakhJ2pTU7NJwfc_MdlYVam6rs4Or_tkGLCnkqJNWybXHZEkPa8JfjZ8tflFiQt8SjLUYS9Te3dlfNZ3rNrdeyhHbNsi5GXawdWkmUoIpNtfy2c9z7SLZ9yr/s1600/IMG_0735.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 179px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490098813830589458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgXRGA__avfnhX3_Opt3OOkakhJ2pTU7NJwfc_MdlYVam6rs4Or_tkGLCnkqJNWybXHZEkPa8JfjZ8tflFiQt8SjLUYS9Te3dlfNZ3rNrdeyhHbNsi5GXawdWkmUoIpNtfy2c9z7SLZ9yr/s320/IMG_0735.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbR0bjNo0D0S8l2ey7qjvhtllrxhVd0W7cH3x86flPSXtBzFMrFm19pYYZEDpxSP7V2VvK4eSe3bxxs23KqukUqe0uC8intNA6Nr6PXbn5zHzpzfXX3blI7kN-sg56en2zpcko_Eb2_Eyx/s1600/IMG_0733.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 179px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490098808740918882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbR0bjNo0D0S8l2ey7qjvhtllrxhVd0W7cH3x86flPSXtBzFMrFm19pYYZEDpxSP7V2VvK4eSe3bxxs23KqukUqe0uC8intNA6Nr6PXbn5zHzpzfXX3blI7kN-sg56en2zpcko_Eb2_Eyx/s320/IMG_0733.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtHBvSUeh8xfgiFhh-Dl4zhhzY287EGhVxBjMlpLbWWdEmmIY4P6GlD__ueGxRro0YTLQN9sDcYB5Jm-PqWCv4u53wkmDdqgpni8301oqbftWhLiu_UQIpNb17ayRPqSlLWYG15WerU2sQ/s1600/IMG_0730.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 179px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490098802100549682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtHBvSUeh8xfgiFhh-Dl4zhhzY287EGhVxBjMlpLbWWdEmmIY4P6GlD__ueGxRro0YTLQN9sDcYB5Jm-PqWCv4u53wkmDdqgpni8301oqbftWhLiu_UQIpNb17ayRPqSlLWYG15WerU2sQ/s320/IMG_0730.JPG" /></a><br />Happy Fourth of July Everybody! I finished my stationery box, but today I feel SO lazy. I am not sure what else I will create today, but the day is still young. We will go to my parents for a barbeque, and later I'll see if I can crank out a few cards. Thank for looking!

Sadly, 99.5% of the time I give into the urge to buy. Sometimes I feel like it is compulsive, and I cannot help myself. I love papercrafting. When I see the amazing projects that the creative ladies showcase on their blogs/messageboard, I have every intention of recreating their work. Moreover, I love a bargain. Thus when I see something on clearance I buy it whether I need/like it or not (A.K.A. the Debbie Mum Paper). <br /><br />Lately, I feel that I am shopping more than I am papercrafting. So my challenge is to make 25 cards (no duplicates...5 using the Debbie Mum paper), finish my stationery box (and the cards and tags for it), 6 scrapbook layouts, and my first article in the series that I am working on for my blog before I buy anything else for my crafting addiction. THIS INCLUDES CHA CHICAGO!!! This is going to be extremely hard. I love YouTube and find inspiration from it. Plus, I LOVE eBay, but if I want to be able to buy stuff at CHA I better get crafting.<br /><br />I know that I am not alone on this deliema. I would LOVE to have you guys join in with me and we can support eachother. Challenge yourself. It doesn't have to be the same as mine. Find a reasonalble amount of items you would like to make, within a reasonalbe amount of time, and LET'S DO IT.Blahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09842978636089329214noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622301948920246512.post-45819316655810513872010-06-30T17:08:00.000-07:002010-06-30T17:28:07.927-07:00Two Projects I Forgot to Post<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsV0daPwVBodlEcdqxHoC6dZxn_mjG30hxlAth-0Rn6uuAQmOaSu6pBnlLEwT-pCLH3J8JElHMfs_-mxhVU5hQpRmGUZshA8NYCqWfJOwcX4m8_tvHgXczGywBI7Vtm0yGQm2kQCmG1KNe/s1600/IMG_0532.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsV0daPwVBodlEcdqxHoC6dZxn_mjG30hxlAth-0Rn6uuAQmOaSu6pBnlLEwT-pCLH3J8JElHMfs_-mxhVU5hQpRmGUZshA8NYCqWfJOwcX4m8_tvHgXczGywBI7Vtm0yGQm2kQCmG1KNe/s320/IMG_0532.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488725520247677010" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiNfYkBQQHcRsfUUUCnFhBwKJeM745BdRwlt4M8tFjvq2YJNWvKT3F7nqTz1wgFi4bQhLFT5xufdtBbWYaB__YO50Pz32tbETtGw16bd9obgiIMnpdi1zUWir_P9hJRXvyaMpXc52eLkpm/s1600/IMG_0530.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiNfYkBQQHcRsfUUUCnFhBwKJeM745BdRwlt4M8tFjvq2YJNWvKT3F7nqTz1wgFi4bQhLFT5xufdtBbWYaB__YO50Pz32tbETtGw16bd9obgiIMnpdi1zUWir_P9hJRXvyaMpXc52eLkpm/s320/IMG_0530.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488725506776005106" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaeUiy1zMTPlakyAzzkpRoD_vzaMlkDmGKK-JKXugxyEWj6SminPyQTc8bq4f8vCx-wtCcwLU4u8jDZLmkb2KI3YPjajNf0PdJ1bX3-pllMe3PfbDFWhM3T48EMmpNMPDBCY92wo4accQt/s1600/IMG_0328.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 179px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaeUiy1zMTPlakyAzzkpRoD_vzaMlkDmGKK-JKXugxyEWj6SminPyQTc8bq4f8vCx-wtCcwLU4u8jDZLmkb2KI3YPjajNf0PdJ1bX3-pllMe3PfbDFWhM3T48EMmpNMPDBCY92wo4accQt/s320/IMG_0328.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488725499421861874" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivCJZldl7Ys539-u83tbI7GAnpXZWZZrQhyphenhyphenOaP8a95vKi_3Pusdt6_fIh5xZdRVlaYZxscUbt4smMx3EdVvipt5JKnL9pGx_eZqFQ1telIQhzAAWZlPYDN50h7EnR6W6btUnBIN3qnCbJL/s1600/IMG_0327-1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 179px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivCJZldl7Ys539-u83tbI7GAnpXZWZZrQhyphenhyphenOaP8a95vKi_3Pusdt6_fIh5xZdRVlaYZxscUbt4smMx3EdVvipt5JKnL9pGx_eZqFQ1telIQhzAAWZlPYDN50h7EnR6W6btUnBIN3qnCbJL/s320/IMG_0327-1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488725483284803106" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1-TMo72F1oYK5LLnRj_bg0oVhSwjBbdEndCZbbxnzsmGFFbN42qetqNAru5ZR-w6TKgR5d34nPRTVaiGvugscGLTNwxqvUiEcMFK8C-4lMqPJzL-PAqK7horjEfFhdCimAvpxkMfx-tbi/s1600/IMG_0325-1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1-TMo72F1oYK5LLnRj_bg0oVhSwjBbdEndCZbbxnzsmGFFbN42qetqNAru5ZR-w6TKgR5d34nPRTVaiGvugscGLTNwxqvUiEcMFK8C-4lMqPJzL-PAqK7horjEfFhdCimAvpxkMfx-tbi/s320/IMG_0325-1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488725481355889170" /></a><br />I hope you like.Blahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09842978636089329214noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622301948920246512.post-21123752000656568622010-06-25T07:27:00.000-07:002010-06-25T07:35:40.668-07:00My Craft Room Tour Videos!Here are two of my videos for my craft room.
