Keeping busy...
These are advent clipboards that I made for a couple really special families. Thought they would be fun for the kids to help count down to Christmas!
The Clipboards are from an office supply store and the papers are Websters Pages (Winter Wonderland Collection); fibres are Basic Grey; snowflakes are WRMK; stamps are Autumn Leaves; inks are Colorbok.
This is a card for a very specila two year old. It is my take on a card I saw on the internet and by the time I was done - really didn't look anything like it! Mine is vertical - hers was horizontal; hers had two squares on front - mine has one; and the list goes on. But alas - that is why it is called inspiration right?! The inside has a cute verse and a little pocket for something extra.
Currently I am working on a journal for a book club that is turing out really cool. I am using my newest toy - BIND IT ALL! This is a must have for all people who like to create! I made it from scratch - literally! I used chipboard and covered it to create the cover, created a templete on the computer for the pages and have it divided into sections. Made a journal bookmark to keep her place in the journal as well as a coordinating one for the book being read! I made a neat pocket page at the back to put in keepsakes or notes. Once it is finished I will post to share!
Well I should run for today. Got loads to do and it ain't getting done sitting here! Have a good one, keep creating....

Busy, Busy, Busy!
I have actually been scrapbooking! Imagine that! These are a few of the last pages that will get the Cruise of '06 done and off my desk! These are done via challenges that I do with a bunch of friends. It is supposed to motivate us - but none of us are all that motivated lately. Hoping this will inspire me to get going again - afterall, I am still working on Feb of 06 pictures in Drake's album! Going to be a long winter to try and get caught up! Most of the papers used in these layouts are Basic Grey's Skate Shoppe. The cardstocks are SU! Any questions on the rest - just ask!
Once I find the pictures I took of the other stuff I will post them as well - but for now this will have to do! I really should sign off for now and see about getting some work done - I am a very messy creative person so now I have to find some more creativity in this mess!

Today's the Day...
I often wonder if it has something to do with fact that I know Christa is due any time now that I am putting it of as I could send her some stuff at the same time! Nope, not waiting...I am off...

A Cool New Find...

Finally....
Birth Announcements & Babies First Year of Memories (For Carla & Taras)
The patterned papers are Scrapworks; solids are SU!; ribbons are SU! (i think); the folio is 7G's. This is a project I have done in the past however I had done on a clipboard. So with it being twins this time I thought it may be easier to try and contain all the papers and make it simple for Carla. The card format I got online somewhere (sorry I can't remember who to give credit to). I am known for my folds and different cards. I am not one to do a simple half fold - so I am always on the hunt and always seem to find some good ones! I will have to start writing down credits for these I guess.
I made a cool card for (another) Carla's son First Birthday (which is still sittin on my desk awaiting mail out) so I really shouldn't post it until I mail it out I guess (incase she peeks)!
Did these really cool Halloween projects that I gave to special kiddies (and some that too are awaiting mail outs...hmmmm...sounds kinda like a pattern is presenting itself doesn't it?!
I have started on a few of my Christmas crafts as well. This year I am making some great items that the kids will get early so they can enjoy them (hinting, but that is all you get).
I have also been getting some great new items in the 'money pit' (my new name for the room) so am anxious to get going on them. I have so many ideas and so little time! So on that note - I should run for now. Was trying to post a few more pix but I keep getting an error message so it will have to wait until later.....
