I have been looking over some of the blogs that I follow and I am feeling very inspired. There are some truly creative people out there making beautiful things. my boys attend a year round school so they will not be going back until this coming Monday, the 16th. Once they are back to their daily routines then I will have time to be creative. I am so looking forward to it as I have loads of ideas floating around that I want to try.
I am hoping to make more regular posts and hope to gain more followers. I love to see different sketch challenges done on other blogs and would love to one day host something like that. Big dreams I know, but to grow you must have a goal and dreams.....

Tim Holtz, christmas tag #2

Well, once again it has been forever since I made a post on here. Not really a big deal since I don't have a boat load of followers but I still feel kind of guilty. This is my first attempt at trying to do one of the tags from Tim Holtz, he does these 12 days of Christmas tags every year starting on the first of December. The one from yesterday was far to busy and had to many things going on for my taste so I didn't try it. Then when I saw this tah this morning I thought "cool, this one I will try!" So here it is. I used items that I had on hand as it was so windy here today I was NOT going out for crafting supplies. Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by! Jos

blogging from my phone.

So, I am attempting to do a blog post from my phone. I have no idea if it will work or not.
I'm also going to try to attach a photo, but that may be pushing it.

This is my current crafting room. It is an unfinished room that needs to be ripped down to the studs as there is 1 plug in and 1 light. The insulation has been shredded in areas by the original owners cat and is not up to code. It will hopefully be finished before Christmas, fingers crossed!

Scrapbook Rooms: Rip it Up for Ribbon Challenge

Check out this awesome prize and contest! It will be loads of fun to see what everyone comes up with!

So this is my homemade supply stand that my awesome hubby made for me! My good friend Jessica (you know who you are) dropped off the lamp shade frame one evening because she knew what I wanted done with it. Some ready rod, nuts and the base from our old light in our kitchen complete the project.

He spent part of the next day thinking of ways to improve on the design. Lol. I love my hubby, he is an awesome guy!

I went to an amazing scrapbook store owned and run by some awesome woman called Something to Scrap About in Red Deer Alberta to get some sort of clips, just my luck, they just got a few packages of the clip it up clips which work perfect!

You should check this store out by visiting their FaceBook page online or in person if you are lucky enough to live near by! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Something-to-Scrap-About/111927008832461

Altered Epicure Jars

So this little project was my first attempt at altering an object. I did this for a challenge from http://www.facebook.com/Scrapbookrooms
They were made using empty, clean Epicure jars and paper from a DCWV stack that I had bought over a year ago and never used. The "ribbon flower tops" were made using 2" glubbers. It was loads of fun to do and I am looking forward to altering many more items!
