Things I made with Creative Victorian!

I am having so much fun~

I wanted to show you these clusters and stacked pages...I used Creative Victorian's kit Flower Euphoria:

The next kit I was able to work with is Seaside Wedding. It is marvelous, look at these page clusters I put together:

and then these little clusters that go with the page clusters...they were so much fun to do!
All the images are linked to the store; Creative Victorian and available right now at 25% off! I hope you enjoy using them as much as I enjoyed making them.

Thanks for reading!

Never lose your joy!

why because I thrive in chaos!

I did NOT get a dog! I did have two dogs come and visit and play with my kids for an hour Monday! I found this swap shop on the radio...and put our freezer on it! Well it sold! A man in another town (an hour away) came and brought his wonderful dogs. The kids played and played...the poor old dogs were gonna sleep good all the way home....

but..................

my dear Jenny is doing so good with her new store Sunflower Scraps, that she doesn't have the time to design as much anymore, so she is focusing mainly on the store! It is a good thing for her, but left me out a designer. I like to keep myself at 5 designers. That way I am busy, but not overwhelmed.

So I headed over to DST (Digital Scrap Talk) forum to see who was needing people or what opportunities I could apply for...(I think for is a prepostion and I just kinda ended a sentence with it..) Sorry Mom! (who is on vacation/coast for 6 weeks I think the coast, we had a quick, my phone dieing conversaton this morning!)

I am babbling sorry, well I applied for two CT's. I got an almost immediate response for one, and it is so perfect for me.

I make clusters, (layers of different scrap elements), page clusters, stacked papers, brags and other premade items. I am so loving this...sometimes I just want to rearrange designs, not work with a picture...and this is just the best way to do it!

The designer is Netta from Creative Victorian, is she is just beyond patient and is teaching me great things. Shadows..oh my, I feel set free! I learned how to make a style button and a lovely shadow, she worked all out for me! And she made this lovely blinkie for me:

Isn't fantastic! I admit it, I am a blinkie fan...just tell me I am doing good, pat me on my head and give me a blinkie! woo hoo, see my name on it!?! That is so cool!

***news upcoming for those wondering where I am hanging,

and want to play with me and meet and influence others with the joy of life coming soon***

Thanks for reading!

Store isn't closing, but Charlie is leaving...so SALE

The economy is beginning to cause alot of us to rethink our priorities and tighten out belts...well, I haven't worn a belt in years...lol...but you get what I am saying.
My boss (in the scrapping world) Charlie, after Snap and Scrap announced it's closing has decided well ,here is her words:

"It is with great sadness that I have to decided to close up shop at (SAS) Stone Accents Studio. I have spent many hours pondering this decision, especially after the announcement of the Snap site closing too!I feel the need to streamline my life and to start fresh, so this is the basis for this decision and the fact of wanting to spend more time hopefully with family and more time to work on my designs!"

So with her streamlining, that means she is going to be popping out new kits and I am gonna be doing some scrapping! So no despairing! But with her closing down over at SAS, she has a lovely sale for those who want to stock up on her designs! Image is linked to take you right to her store!

News coming soon where to find what store Charlie and her streamlined life have landed making Charlie exclusive! I will tell you one thing it is a fun place! I like it! Nice folks, as her CT team went in and scouted around and we are liking it! More news on that next week!

Thanks for reading!

sunshine and basketball 7 march 09

Gman, my honey and Mr. E playin' some hoops (horse) at one of the local parks. We have been going 100mph with getting the church building up and functioning, outreaching all the time, Tony getting teams together to come and just everything. So this morning after Tony got off work(working 6 days a week), we ate, he went back to church to finish his sermon. He came home and we had chip buddies..fried potato sands with malt vinegar...starch/carb sandwich! Then the boys mowed and edged the back yard with the adults supervising and girls trimming the tree sucker limbs. A quick clean up and off to the park to enjoy the beautiful weather...crisp and sunny!

because life happened and no pics for a bit

It rained for a long time, and was cold and icky and I didn't want to take another wet picture, or anything in my house, because it all needs to be aired out and cleaned. ha ha, so I was going to pick the kidlets from school, and didn't want to listen to Michael Savage or music, so scanned am and found a local swap shop call in show! I got on, and listed our deep freezer! I got two calls, but they wanted it more the size to put a body in...that grossed me out, I told them only midgets could be frozen in this one. One man asked for a picture...so you get to see it too...
Please note, that we are in Northern California and hunting is a BIG thing here...so that is probably (hopefully) the reason for wanting a (as one caller said) "freezer the size of a coffin"

28 Feb

We went to Marysville for the Chinese Celebration...bong hey fat choy...of their new years. If you know anything of California history, 1840's you remember that the Chinese had a HUGE presence here during the gold rush. This presence remains with many towns having a Chinatown area. Marysville has alot of museums of Chinese heritage. This parade is a bit different than most, as they believe that the bad spirits are scared of noise, so to usher in good you must scare the bad away...so fireworks go off pretty much the entire parade...even as the Shriners go flying by in their weird little go-carts and old men. Strange parade. We saw it, and honestly I don't think we would ever go back to see it again. This is the New dragon! Pretty ain't it?

27 Feb~my mountains

These are the Buttes (pronounced with a long U, but yes we can them the butts...lol). They are unofficially the smallest mountain range in the world. This is right outside of the Wal-mart. I love the open space, and the colors.
