Delight in Fall…Another H2H Entry (I think I've lost my mind!)

Well, here it is.  My third entry for this week’s H2H challenge.  I haven’t played in months and now in about a span of 24 hours, I’ve created three entries for one week.  The challenge is to use a pumpkin or two.  In going through my stamps again, I found a pumpkin!! One little tiny…

Thank You…another H2H Entry

As I wrote about in yesterday’s post, the H2H challenge was to create something with a Halloween theme or use a pumpkin or two (for those of us who don’t celebrate Halloween).  My dilema was…I don’t own any CTMH pumpkin stamps, so I had to think outside the box to figure out how to create a pumpkin…

Seasons Change…H2H Challenge

Several months ago, soon after joining CTMH, I participated in a challenge over at Heart 2 Heart Challenges.  With all of the incredibly talented ladies playing, I was pleasantly surprised when my card was selected for Friday Five.    I wasn’t able to participate in the following challenges for various reasons…namely school started up again….busy, busy, busy.  I’ve been itching…

My drugs of choice…

No offense to anyone, but all I got to say, is thank God I’m not a drug user, smoker, or big drinker (like one a month…maybe), because I have such an addictive personality that I hate to imagine what my life would be like if I had gone that route.  I get so addicted to…

New YouTube Video

Just finished up a video to show the accordian fold that I used in the layout I created for my Scrap Club this month. I’ll be showing some of the other techniques I used once I get the videos edited.

Saturday's Scrap Club Creations

Scrap Club just wrapped up a few hours ago.  Everyone was pleased with the projects using the Olivia Workshop-on-the-Go.  They also enjoyed learning some new techniques, especially the faux stitching.  The first time I remember seeing faux stitching was on Tresa Black’s UStream Channel (also on her blog, Fabulously Artsy).  I don’t own a sewing machine and…

A fun way to use scrap ribbon…

Here’s a layout I did for a challenge on Two Peas in a Bucket.  I was inspired by a layout that used a few pieces of knotted paper strips along a center seam.  Instead of using paper strips, I used a ribbon and a LOT of it.

Scrap Club Layouts

Here are the layouts I made for last weekend’s Scrap Club using the Magnifique Workshop-On-The-Go.    I actually created the “Sweet…” layout at the SDV that I went to last month.  The instructions to this layout come with the WOTG kit.  The scan/stitch isn’t perfect, but you get the idea, I’m sure. The second layout I…
