Back at it!

OMG, it's been forever since I've posted something!
Life got in the way in a big way, first with family health issues and then more of them, but we all seem to be on the mend.
I started back to school which has also contributed to my absence, but having tackled the time issues, I'm finally getting back to scrapping!
I took a trip a couple of weeks ago (actually TWO) and just received my order of 393 pictures!
My weekend is wide open and my package from Scrapbook.com is on the way! You know what that means!
Happy Scrappin'!!!

A swap project

I was for a time, attached to a swap group on SB.com. I did a matchbox swap and domino swap and totally forgot to post this one.

We received a pattern for a tryptich and were to make one for our swap buddy. I had an idea, middle of the night, to make a bird bath on mine. The bath is made of a huge bottle cap cut in half and I was pretty happy with the result. The swap buddy loved it too!!!

Creating is messy!

This is what happens when you make ONE paper bag album. A localized tornado of activity!

Newly updated scrap heaven!

I have a problem. My name is Teri and I'm addicted to scrapbooking and pink.  In this picture, I have covered both!  I added the desk against the wall using a door from Lowe's, painted it pink and put it atop 4 cubes from Michaels (at 40% off, thank you very much!) and then reorged my stuff.  Happy sigh...happy room, happy place!!

CKC Haul!!

While I have this in a tight circle, don't for a minute think I didn't go crazy at CKC Charlotte this past weekend!!
2 T-shirts
2 yards of rose trim
1 mini book kit
1 Lisa Bearson book
1 Canvas kit
1 License plate cover
19 page kits (totaling 53 pages worth!!!)

Some of the vendors there are truly wonderful. Thanks to Scrapbook Fun Addicts, Legacy Paper Arts, Treasure Box, Lickety Split, Ribbon by the Yard and so many others!  Thanks for emptying my bank account!!  And, can't wait for next year!!!

This is why I get no scrapping done...

Yeah, my matt, papercutter, glue gun, all within reach.  Except for the big furry body in the middle of it all!!

Magic of Oz

The WORST picture ever taken of a LO, but here's my take on my favorite movie EVER.  I love that G45 created a paper line just for me!  Magic of Oz is the best!  I LOVED making this LO of me in my costume from 2 years ago.  My sister made the costume and I ran into one smaller Dorothy that night.  Reminds me to get the next costume made with sparkles!!

Domino Mini Book

Another Martica brainstorm for scrapping!  I found Disney princess dominos at Walmart which ended up being a tad smaller than traditional dominos, BUT, they had no 'dimples' in them so it was nice working with a smooth surface.
My hope was to have one side, when open, allow the butterfly wings to open.  It worked, but not sure I captured it in the pictures attached.

Another fun swap on sb.com, hosted by the super creative Martica!

Matchbox swap

Had fun with this one!  Martica has the greatest ideas, bringing scrapbooking to all new levels.  The hardest part was to find the matchbox!  I used Graphic 45 Curtain Call to decorate the box, along with some Pomegranite Bazzill paper.  I used American Crafts Pomegranite sheer ribbon and Maya Road rose ribbon for the inside.  Had a hard time finding the right 'red' for this.  The dreamy G45 paper I used, you just want whatever you use with it, to be perfect!  With the cream and black, this color was IT!

The bestest boy ever...

Missing you Tucker.  That happy face will be with me always....

This is the cover of my December Daily album (not yet finished!), but I'm kinda happy with the way it's turning out!  It's made the holidays a little more fun!

Mini book crazy!

This is an older paperbag album I did of my grandparents. I entered it in an art show here at work and while I didn't win anything, the comments I received were so nice!  I was even asked if I took orders!  I have plans to enter the next art show at work, but making an even bigger impression the next time!

The most wonderful time of the year!

My first post ever.  As a scrapbooker I've once again overbooked my creativity and time for the season and am hoping to get all the gifts and projects done before the big day.  The first is completed, a PBA made for a friend.  She really, really liked it, I'm happy to say.  Made with three regular paper bags and lots of embellishments, it's one of  the faves I've created.  Now, let me try to figure out how to attach pictures!!
Happy Crafting!
