Charity event






Hello everyone,




If you are not yet aware Eni will be hosting a charity event this weekend for Breast Cancer. If you are in the Miami area and would like to attend this great event go to her blog, the link is on my side bar (fabulous friends). I made this frame for her to auction off. My husband will be putting a black frame around it to finish it off. It is for Halloween. All proceeds will be donated.

Class at The Paper Niche




Well, I want everyone to know that I had a great class. All the women were wonderful, but one really stood out. She was funny. I had never met any of these women, yesterday was the first time. Also the first time teaching at the store. If you have not been to the website, I encourage you to. http://www.paperniche.com/. This store is incredible. They have everything and anything. The store owner really goes out of her way to have the latest and most fabulous trinkets you could ever see. You will literally be in the store for hours looking at everything. She not only has scrapbooking stuff, but stuff for the house and jewelry and you name it she has it. But unless you go in person you won't know what I am talking about. I will be going next week just to shop. I need atleast 3 to 4 hours to shop and go crazy.


Here is a picture of some things she has on a huge round glass table, called the candy station. It literally looks like a candy station. All items are in glass bowls and cups and some are in those pretty glass vases. It has lose rhinestones, brads, eyelets, butterflies, dew drops, all types of flowers, from flat ones, to roses in all sizes and colors even the ones on stems. That candy station is to die for. LOVE IT. I want one of those in my house.


The flowers were 2 for $1.00 they measure about 2 1/2 inches, the butterflies were 4 for $1.00 the little stems with the beeds were 5 for $1.00. And I did not go through everything. I am going back as I said to get some more goodies.


Go check it out the store, you will not be disappointed.

Dolphins cheerleaders layout






Hello everyone, I just finished this layout. I have to turn it in tomorrow at the paper niche to the owner and decide when to teach it. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did piecing it. I am not a Dolphin fan at all, but living in Miami this is what people would want to see.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS








Just got done with this layout. I have loved the Pittsburgh Steelers since I was a little girl. Don't really know why, maybe because of the color yellow in the uniforms, since my favorite color is yellow. Or maybe because they have always had a rivalry with the Dallas Cowboys and to go against my youngest brother I went for them. Who knows. All I know is that they have been my favorite team since I was about 12. A long time ago.

You would think my favorite color is PINK, but no it is YELLOW. I wanted my scraproom yellow but I could not find pretty baskets, containers or cute things in Yellow for the room so I decided to go with my next favorite PINK. The Green just matched nice with the Pink. I did paint the walls Yellow. They are a very pail Yellow. My husband picked out the color.

I will post pictures of my room maybe tomorrow. Right now I am off to play with my IMAGINE. Don't know if I like it yet. I still need more time with it.

NIGHT.

Imagine Is In The House




Woo Hoo,


Just received my Imagine at about 5:30 pm yesterday. I was so excited to get this Baby. I had been waiting for it all day. I know it would be coming in today from the tracking info. Well this machine is big. Don't know where I will be putting it but I have to say later to my red expression since it is not being used. I have the white one and the red one. I just had to have the red when walmart came out with it last year on black friday. I have only truned it on 3 or 4 times. It looks so pretty where it is at but it is time to make room for the new one.


I did calibrate it with no problems and printed the first image. the ink is kind of dull but maybe it is because of the colors that the image was cut with. I had my husband play with it while I went to Office Max to pick up something. He was able to print the image large. I did have a hard time looking at the screen. Some of the letters and numbers are really tiny. Like the gypsy. Which by the way just sits in my room collecting dust. Not what I plan to do with the Imagine. I printed an image but when I went printed the layered pieces they were not the same size as the main image. Also when it cut the first row on the matt the cuts were perfect, but on the second row it was off. I did email a lady that has loaded some videos on her blog and I am hoping she will contact me to help me. She even had a video yesterday that showed how glossy accents, embossing powder and the heat gun did not smear the ink. She loved the way the images came out and how well the ink held up the heat from the heat gun.


If anyone has played with their imagine and could help, please contact me. I would love to get some help. Calling Circut is a nightmare.


OK, off to play some more.

made a booboo

The websites are www.creationswithcristina.com and www.teriberi2.blogspot.com, soory for the mix up. You should all head on over to their blogs. They both do amazing projects, cards and scrap pages. I hope they inspire you as much as they have inspired me.

satrudays challenge




OK, as you will all know I did not finish all the challenges. I did do 6 of the 8 challenges. I am proud of myself because I had never done this before. I am not a card maker nor do I know anything about bloggin. As you can see my blog is a mess right now. I can't get to fix it. I did call a dear friend to help me with entering my projects. Thanks you, thank you and thank you "T". You know who you are.

I think I did a pretty good job with the challenges. Atleast, I hope. I did not do the last 2 because my poor husband was waiting all day for us to hang out together. We are always together and I mean always. On saturdays we go out to breakfast and then head out to the Garage Sales. I love them. My mother got all of us girls addicted to it and now my husband is part of the addiction. We even take our dog Roscoe with us. He is such a cutie. He feels so important because everyone that sees him pets him. He is a orange, redish, blonde Golden Retriever.


I leave you with a picture of the 6 challenges that I entered. I hope you all like them.


Well I hope for all those who entered had the same amount of fun that I did.
Thank you to Cristina at www.creationswithcristina. com, also thank you to Teri at www.teribeir2.blogspot.com, and to all of the companies and people who made incredible donations for the prizes.
