SCRAPPING FOR THE NEW YEAR!!!!!!

I have not been so good with my scrapping as of late.......(quite late)....talking years behind! So my resolution this year is to get scrappin!!!!! I have found some help from Scrapbook & Cards Today and have committed to following this great plan. Check out the website for yourself and see how you can complete an album incorporating special events or favorite memories for each month of the year! I also loved how the main pages follow through using kraft as a background. I think this will pull it all together and am sure I will be quite happy with this come 2011!!!! So follow along and see how you do!
I will also start posting these pages each month and promise to keep up on my blog!!!!!   So bad....I'm also as bad on facebook.............apparently my farm is "dead"........te he he!!!!!
That is just "ME"! I'll have to put something about this in my scrap book.

FISKARS CUSTOMER SERVICE.......SATISFACTION

I was having problems with my 12" trimmer and went on to the Fiskars website. DID YOU KNOW...they have a live chat line where you can ask any questions etc......how cool is that. I dealt with Nikki and she was extremely helpful and very pleasant. WOW....so nice to be treated well by a manufacturer....nice touch for us little consumers. I use many Fiskar products and really have found them to be very durable and have been completely satisfied!
So if you have questions etc.....go to http://www.fiskars.com..........awesome/.

Acrylic Fun

So many people are afraid to tackle acrylic albums. They are actually very easy. I use double sided papers and start on the back page of the book. That way you can see your layers all the way through to the front, I also complete all of the papers first, pics next and then embellishments. Once you complete one you will be completely addicted to them.

A NEW GLUE IN TOWN (NEW TO ME ANYWAY)

OK.....kids!

Want to save a bit of money so use can use it on things you can "SEE"......well have I got a great product for you!!!!! The UHU stic, Photo Glue Stick. Non toxic and acid free.

A little story first: the last crop I was at I finished off 3 tape runners......could not believe it!!!! And I'm sure you can imagine I was none to happy!!!!!!

And then came along this fab glue stick.....................I am so impressed!!!!!!! It is acid free, is a nice size for managing, goes a looooooooooooooooong way, and "SO" cost effective!!!!!!

So I have posted pics of one of my books that I made last night. I also used the bind-it-all (gotta love that baby also!)

So back to the glue........you know how sometimes the paper does not quite get layed down straight?????? How mad does that make you???? You peel it up and opppppssss tear away the bottom layer......................WELL......this glue is actually repositionable for enough time to move things around without causing any damage!!!! LUV LUV LUV IT!!!!

So last night I made two albums (YES TWO)......the only adhesive I used was the small glue stick!!!!! Look at the pic to see how much of it is left!!!!!

Seriously, you really need to give this product a try! Think about all of the other goodies you can purchase with your saved money!!!!!

Embellishments or bellies as I like to call them................and then I call myself the "Belly Queen"............and it ain't because of the abs!!! LOL.

Here you will see the little book I made about Golf......................my husband and I love to golf and I thought "WOW", I need to make a little book just about what we do when we disappear for 6--7 hours at a time!~!!!~~~ LOL again!!!!!!!

If you would like any other info on this "AMAZING" glue, please check it out at http://www.gluewithuhu.com/, possibly you might even score a free sample to try it for yourself.

Highly recommended!!!!!!!

Colour Challenge

This is another one of the sets that you should have bought when it was available. When you see it and you like it.......BUY THEN!!! As once they retire, they are "GONE"!!! Love this set! So here is my second card for the challenge. Love colour challenges!!!!!!

SP Colour Challenge

So this is the first colour challenge I have participated in (first challenge ever really). This is a SU challenge using Lovely Lilac, Choc Chip and Garden Green.....that was easy! So I also used the SU movers and shapers die, scallop punch to make my flowers, curly label punch, top note die, sizzlet leaf die, and the weathered background stamped with versa and brushed with gold pearlex. The non-su products are the ribbon and stickles on flower. Hope you like it!

Sorry the pics did not turn out so well, need a bit of practice.

The pic does not show so well but the Best wishes is actually using the new mover and shaker die which cuts, scores and punches out the curly label all in one run. LUV it.....there are also new shapes in the new catty.

Thanks for visiting.
