Allow me to Reminisce!

OK, as many of you know, I am NOT an altered artist. My altered art needs a PURPOSE, so I guess that makes me an altered realist or something like that! LOL Well, I found a project that I REALLY enjoyed making! The last time Reminisce had a layout contest, I won 2nd Place and got all these AWESOME papers! Well, I used some of the winter paper (because it was really sparkly) to make this Christmas ornament.



So basically, I cut random sized stripes and wrapped them around this paper mache' ball with Mod Podge. I waited (and prayed) for everything to dry and tied some ribbons on the top and viola! Bailee handed me strips of paper while I glued. I have a feeling both kids are gonna make me go back to Hobby Lobby and get more of these ornaments to make.

So there you have it...a homemade ornament (and it's not even October yet!!) Crazy!! I know!!

Wanna win some stuff??

Becky Fleck is have a contest on her blog. Use her sketch and YOU could WIN an awesome prize from Midnight Oil! So give it a shot!!! I'll be watching to see if any of my blog buddies win!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

1 hour to scrap...

I have seen advertisements for the 1 hour sketch contest at creative scrapper, but I had never had time to participate. Frankly, I NEVER have time to do anything...I just MAKE the time. So tonight I watched Fringe (AWESOME show by the way) and got my scrap on...

Here is my take on the sketch (and my silly kids when we went to the Picture People)..

Well folks, it seems the time I make for scrapping is seriously cutting into my bedtime, so I am off to dreamland! Have a good one!!

It's Hip 2 B Square!

So MOSD has an awesome 6x6 Cover to Cover album called Hip to be Square. I had so much fun working on this. I had recently gotten some of Teresa Collin's Christmas paper and they are PERFECT for these albums.


These albums are so much fun to work with. 6x6 is a fun size and sooooo easy with these papers. I already have one Christmas gift done! Woohoo!!

Toot! Toot!!

OK, I have to admit I was getting a BIT burned out with the scrapping world lately...or maybe it is just that school just started and life has become one big rat race...oh and I had a flat tire yesterday...but either way...I got an e-mail today that my layout was accepted to be published in the 'A Scrapper's Year' Idea Book. So exciting! This is my first idea book publication...unless you count Scrapbook Blueprints, but either way...soooo exciting!!! It is also my first Memory Makers publication.

Thanks for letting me share!! Guess I'd better go get dressed and get the rats ready for today's race! =)
