Oh Say it isn't so....

but it is :D Guess what?? The Creative Memories sale is extended to Jan 1, 2012. So you still have time to order!! You can read about it here in this POST. Guess what else?? I managed to squeak in one more project before the New Year came. It is the Scrappy Jak card of the month kit and I kept it simple this month. She gave us a white A2 card base and a die cut from My Creative Time. The card was within my realm but the lollipop die stumped me. Then I thought that it would make the best Hershey Candy Cane kiss holder next to the holiday plates. Everyone is always looking for mints after dinner so this was ideal! Here are my projects:

The paper is from a swap that is organized by my friend Tina on Facebook. I love the happy little trees (I loved Bob Ross ). The circles and the starbursts are also from My Creative Time. Thanks to Scrappy Jak for being a wonderful friend and inspiration to me :) Until next time....

Memories In Thanksgiving Blog Hop, Day Two

Welcome to the the 2nd day of our "Thanksgiving" Blog Hop!!








We're so happy you could join us for this super-fun hop showcasing cards, layouts and projects that feature everything to be thankful for!! You'll find an array of ideas throughout the hop -- We hope you'll enjoy each and every project along the way!!

If you've just popped in to visit my blog or are reading this via email and you'd like to join our Thanksgiving FUN, then please CLICK HERE (http://www.memoriesintyme.blogspot.com/) to start at the beginning with Lynda's blog!! This is a TWO-DAY hop, so be sure to catch both days for maximum ideas (you'll find the entire line-up below my post)!!


For the hop today, I've decided two Thanksgiving cards that were part of the Scrappy Jak project of the month club. Melissa always sends us the best stuff to make and I enjoyed making these two cards from the card base, paper and ribbon she sent. Here are the pics...

Both my Cricut and Pazzles machines got a work out on this one. For the wishbone card I used my alphabet stamps from Michaels and the eyelets are Stampin' Up. The sentiment on the "Give Thanks" is from Stampin' Up as well.


Thank you again for checking out my projects. Now hop on over to amazing .

Scrappy Jak Project of the Month

Ok, since I participated in the Tim Burton blog hop I have been doing so many Nightmare Before Christmas projects. This project was going to be a Famous Movie Monsters mini album. Well, I decided that it needed to be a NBC mini album instead, I used every last piece of materials that were sent in the envelope. The paper I had in my stash from my Halloween Labor of Love Banner from Recollections. I LOVE this and am keeping it for me. Here are some pics:

Thanks to Scrappy Jak for another FANTASTIC month. Until next time....

I LUV MY LIFE......

Mickey & Friends Blog Hop (Day 2): http://susanascorner.blogspot.com/2011/09/mickey-friends-blog-hop-day-2.html


I must say that I really enjoy the people that I meet out here in the cyber world and the opportunities that presented to me. I wanted to share some of the things I have created and a gift I received. First I completed my Scrappy Jak cards for September. I had these great ideas and then decided to go Cricutless. After making this Art Philosophy cards (where all the pieces were inked), I went on an inking spree . Here are the results:

Next, we got a package of materials from Jen of Crafty Card Gallery. She challenged us to take all the supplies provided and wake a card. Well I did just that and this time with my Cricut. I wish I could show you but it is to debut in October :)

What I can show you is a present I received from Angie who participated in my birthday blog hop. Not only did she take a card and made it so touching on the inside but she made these FANTASTIC earrings that I will love wearing. Thanks to Angie for making me feel special. If you have not been over to her blog, I encourage you to hop over HERE.

I have some more projects to make but am feeling quite tired from a migraine filled week. Tomorrow is a new day and I am sure I will make the most fun projects. Bring on October . Until next time.....

What a day!

Evening all :) I had a pretty rough day today. Went to the gym as usual and worked out hard. I took the phrase, "Finish strong" a little too literally. I did not do a proper cool down and then went to the steam room. Well, I had 3 episodes where I almost passed out! I had to come home and rest. Still feel funky all day. I have been wanting to post these pics so I figure now is the time. I am boycotting the gym tomorrow to recuperate. Have errands to run but will be taking it easy overall. Until next time, here are some pics for inspiration....

Scrappy Jack Card of the Month Kits for June

Scrappy Jak May Cards of the Month

It has been another fun filled month thanks to Scrappy Jack. As you can see, not everything was a card. I just love these mini albums and I am going to have to start to save my cereal boxes now that I have this die from Sizzix. I realized I am missing one of the pages but you can get the idea. I chose Mother quotes and wrote some of my own observations. I hope you like them. Now bring on June!

Until next time.....

Scrappy Jak March Card Challenge

Well, all. This is going to be a short and sweet post. I am quite ill and need to get to the Dr. It is the end of the month so I got out of work really late. I did not get to post these in time for the drawing but wanted to share them all the same. Here they are:

We could play Where's Waldo er Susan in this pic. 

Stickers from K & Company were fun on this card

My sweet spring faerie

Erin go Bragh all

Sorry for the short post but I am off to bed. Until next time......

Scrappy Jak January Card Challenge

Oh what a fun one this challenge was. It was a day of firsts. It was the first time that I used my Paper Dolls and Mini Monsters Cricut cartridges. It was also the first time I designed mu challenge cards on the Gypsy. But the HUGE first was that I used my new Peachy Keen Face stamps. They were a Christmas present from my dear friend Erin. I had a wonderful time with them and I can see that there will be more in my future :)


Now onto my cards...

This sweetheart was made with love. It kind of looks like me but I don't wear stripes I am blessed with a great husband and fantastic kids. I wanted to reflect how special and supportive my husband is.

This cranky snowmonster reflects my feelings about the snow. It seems that we are shoveling every week. Bring on Spring!

And speaking of Spring, I wanted to share that I will be participating in my first blog hop. 




I hope you all will come and have fun with us. Well, it is very late here and snow is falling again. Time for me to get some rest so I can face a new day tomorrow. Until next time......

Don't I wish I could share what I did today....

Yesterday was a non crafty day. My friend Erin and I, both had terrible headaches. Today after Church, my daughter asked to make a Nemo and Dory from the newer Best of Pixar Cricut cartridge. I have definitely not gotten the hang of that cartridge yet! In my defense it is the first time I used it.

While watching the Jets get thrashed lose to the Steelers (insert sad face), I made my two cards for the Scrappy Jak cards of the month. I cannot post them until the 26th. If you are on Facebook, please join the group. 

I had fun working with my Cricut Gypsy today. I designed both cards on it. I will be sure to post them in 3 days. Until then.....

Happy Scrappin '

A Scrappy Jak December

I have been having so much fun with my friend Scrappy Jak from Facebook. She has been so wonderful in making kits of the month. This month there was two cards and a mini chipboard album. All she asked is that we post our pictures of what we made. Here is what I came up with:


This is the mini chipboard album. I am so amazed that I want to make more!

Here are the two cards I made with the card kits. The tree card was made with a Cricut die cut and the other was Cricutless :)

For the card above, I used Stickles for the antennae and some glaze adhesive (the name escapes me at the moment). She is just too cute.


I really cannot wait to have more time to be creative. Until next time.....


Happy Scrappin'

I am finally starting to work on a goal...

I have always wanted to work on weekly challenges and now, thanks to Love 4 Stamps (http://love4stamps.blogspot.com/p/monday-challenges.html) challenge list, I can. I lost a few hours due to taking a nap but I did manage to get some cards done. Here is one of them:

This is a second one also :) I loved this card so much I made a few of them.

Since it is now November 29th, I can also share my Scrappy Jack November cards. These were so much fun to do and my Pazzles got a workout.

I have 2 more challenges that I want to complete but they will have to wait as work will be here tomorrow. Until next time....

A Scraptacular Halloween Card Challenge (and giveaway)

courtesy of my friend Scrappy Jak on Facebook. I got a little overzealous on this one and had originally posted in on Facebook too early. I deleted them and was able to repost them yesterday. We were given the paper and ribbon and we were to come up with our own design. Here is what I chose....

The pumpkin is my favorite because of his googly eyes. The spiders remind me of one of my favorite childhood characters, Charlotte, from Charlotte's Web. 

Don't forget about the birthday blog giveaway in honor of my daughters birthday. All you have to do is be a follower of this blog and post a comment about your favorite birthday memory. I will use Random.org to pick the winner next Friday the 29th (gives more time for everyone). Good luck! I will have another post for you all with another great layout! Until next time....

Happy Scrappin'

Woohoo.... I finally got a challenge done on time (sort of)

Happy Columbus Day to our US scrappers and Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian Scrappers! There were two challenges this week; one for Scrappy Jak on Facebook and one for My Pink Stamper. I decided to make one for each!. Same design and technique but two different die cuts and embossing powders. I wish you could see the detail of the qhite embossing powder to make the snow shiny. Since I don't have a digital camera I had to scan them. I hope you enjoy it. Until next time.....

Supplies: Want 2 Scrap die cuts, Stampin Up embossing powder (white and silver), Inkadinkadoo embossing powder (pearlescent), blue, white and teal cardstock (Michaels or AC Moore)

Happy Scrappin'

A very succesful 1st All Day Crop.....

First let me whine minute :D I had a wonderful time at the PS 37 All day crop. It was a school fundraiser that I saw on Facebook. My partner in crime, Erin, and I cropped from 8 AM to 7 PM and it was a very productive day. In between winning little prizes (and breakfast, lunch and dinner) we managed to get a lot done. Here is the 8 page layout and card challenge that were completed. The pictures are not the greatest but they will do for now ....

Here is the title page from our Aquarium trip this summer. The porthole and aquarium die cut are from a company that shall remain nameless. I was very disappointed as the diecut has tears in it. The city name was cut with the Cricut Life's a Beach cartridge. I really like this one and may have to put this one on my have to have list!

Here are the next two 2 page layouts. The paper for the last page is actually Provocraft paper from 1999. Go figure. Here is a closeup. I embellished the paper with fish stickers from Walmart. I called this "in the belly of the whale".

These pics were taken outside of the aquarium. We do not have many pictures of all of us together (hubby is the photographer). For the Title and the arrow I used my Cricut Solutions Stone Script cartridge that I had not opened before. You cannot really tell but the pictures on the bottom of page 2 were two separate shots that I took so they would line up. Who needs a panoramic camera :)

The last but not least layout was made with a Stamping up scrapbook kit called Love Birds Simply Scrapping kit. You get so much in these kits and I always have extra left over. This was a fitting end to these layouts because it is the love of my life who inspires me!

Erin and I worked on cards as well. This week's Scrappy Jak challenge was Black and white. I had to also add a little bit of color to make me happy. This was made using the card feature from Life's a Beach. As I said before, I love this cartridge!

This last one is a card front that I asked Erin to make as a sample for me. She made it in my favorite color of course!

It was a wonderful day but one running on very little sleep. I think that is why I feel so sick today. Duty calls though so I must go to work tomorrow. I hope you all get to experience an all day crop. Next time I plan on being more organized to get more done. Until next time....

Happy Scrappin,

Sue
