Kitchen Magnet Cheat Sheets~

 Hey friends, 

I created a sweet little Recipe Album using the Creating Made Easy September Kit, and when I was going to create for today's post I saw my little Clear Scraps Acrylic Mini TeaCup album and thought what a great addition to my Recipe Album, kitchen MAGNETS!

So I used the leftover papers I had from the kit (the kits are phenominal!).

One of the stickers included in the kit had a measurement cheat sheet, so I definitely used that one, then I created a Recipe Notes magnet as well because I always substitute buttermilk with vinegar and milk, etc....

I also added a dishwasher magnet that says "Dirty Dishes" simply because if I am going to make a set I might as well coordinate them all.

And here is the original album I created on the Creating Made Easy Blog

Fun project and really great kit too! Check it out here:

~Misting Mishap- Reinventing Layout~

Good morning my friends,

I had a lovely mishap this weekend LOL A misting mishap.

I was creating this layout with the adorable A Boy's Life Kit from

the Scraptastic Club (Feb Kit), I decided to mist the corner of my

12X12 Layout and WHAN, the entire page seized up and wrinkled LOL

Now normally I would just make it distressed but it really puckered.

So I ended up cutting it down to an 8.5X11 which I love anyways, and matting

it with the coordinating cardstock in the kit.

I actually adore the layout now. I punched 4 holes and ran

some twinery twine through it for a fun effect.

I love the stickers in this kit too! Totally fun.

Oh and I was so excited to see a boys kit, I have been dying to scrap

these aquarium photos. You know you can only get these boys of mine to

post for so long, I know those days are ending soon LOL

This week is a crazy one for me, not sure how much I will be around.

My son goes in for surgery on the 9th, any prayers are appreciated.

We will be home bound for a little while after that.

Happy monday my friends~~ Thank YOU for popping by

~More reveals, update on TN life~

Good morning my amazing friends.
I went to bed last night with heavy rain, thunder, lightning and
a flooded yard. Safe but a little worried.
I woke up to sunshine and some mist from all the wet.

No sign of our chickens, it's hard to even type about it because
I watched my husband run his car back and forth over
all the surrounding areas for hours and hours yesterday.
He did not give up looking until after 4pm.
We are at a complete loss as to what happened or where they are?
No sign of attack, just a few feathers in the coop but that is normal,
no sign of entry, the gate was locked tight.
I have one last hope they might have gotten blown away or
ran for cover and are coming back?
I will keep y'all updated.
I have no right to be upset, we are VERY blessed, we have
our home and we are dry which is more than I can say for so many
who lost their home, lives, and are still in shelters in TN.

1 day behind on my reveals for Scrapbooking From The Inside Out
and the May kit "Anticipation"
I loved the color scheme for this kit, and
it made me think tropical so of course I had to scrap Hawaii.The Aloha card part I drew with my Cri-Kit pens and then misted it
with my Smooch Spritz (I need to get more I am out!)
Then I added the title and stickled it....I am officially a stickle whore I think LOLThis was a fun kit to work with.

Today I am praying the yard dries out,
the schools have all been closed so I will spend the day with my
beautiful boys and maybe even bake a bit.

~Thank you all for the support yesterday and your genuine kindness
and sweet comments. I really needed/appreciated them~

~Happy Monday~
~Pinky~

~Happy Tuesday~

Good morning my lovelies!

I received an email from Bad Girls yesterday
and they are featuring me as the Artist if the Month!
I think that is so cool, never would have thought they would have picked me!
http://www.badgirlskits.com/mb/viewtopic.php?f=117&t=9635

I was on a RARE card making kick this weekend
I do not usually like my cards let alone make them
but this LIVE LOUD collections from Imaginisce really got me
scrapping! I sat down and made a layout and 2 cards like it was nothing :)

This flower I used the Punches for the i-top

Aren't these fun colors??! Love em!

I also love the music and robots, so it could be for a boy or girl!

The other projects I have been working on...
the Nostalgia kit (March Kit) from Scrapbooking From The Inside Out
LOVED digging so deep and looking back.
This layout is about my ex husband

Not in an angry perspective but sort of in wonder?
I mean he was so terribly violent and broke my back in two places
he damaged my body beyond repair, leaving me unconscious more
than one time, so I had to ask myself...Who Haunts Him?

I just wonder...not angry anymore, just wonder.....

Nothing like a great emotional kit to release your
inner thoughts to the world right?! :) hehehe

I feel cleansed.

OK off to do my motherly duties, making sure
my house is tidied and my dinner is cooking.
Have a GREAT Tuesday, I mean it!

~Thanks for stopping by~
~Pinky~

~It's the 1st! Time for some fun~

Good morning my lovely amazing friends!
You know I wait for the first like a kid in a candy store!

I cannot wait for the first and all the yumminess from
Scrapbooking From The Inside Out & Imaginisce!March!
IMAGINISCE,
I got a big box yesterday and I am dying to dig into it.
In the meantime this is my interpretation of the sketch for March!
You know they have a sketch every month now and
you can play along to win, so please check their blog out and get to scrapping!
If you play along I would love to see your version!

The March Kit theme from SFTIO is NOSTALGIA love that,
it really made me dig DEEP! Let me tell ya.
I have so few pictures from my childhood so scrapping them
is difficult and I don't attempt it often, but I wanted to go all out
after all SFTIO is all about scrapping emotion
and this is MY emotion.
Honestly I don't even know if this picture is me, but
it is one of just a few I have so I scrapped about it.
It's very sad, but it is also just my past so why not remember it and embrace it.
Love the colors of this kit, so expressive!
Stay tuned I have a few more to share!(close up of the kits here)

Back to the scrap table, I am working on another Helmar Project! :)

Have an amazing Monday!
~Thank you for stopping by I love ya for it!~
~Pinky~

~Happy Hump Day! New tutorial and layout too!~

I have been so BUSY!

This morning I got up and scrapped this layout....
Now, if you think that everyone else's work is perfect except yours,
let me share a funny story with you this morning!

I scrapped this page and I like it, so of course I wanted to get the perfect picture.
But it's winter, so there are not always sunny "natural light" days happening
at my house. Well, I got my photo studio out, but honestly I still need natural light
because it does not have enough on these dark day.
I saw a snip of bright light outside and RAN out to take a quick picture in between
rain clouds...I was not fast enough!
I was going to photoshop and edit the picture to make it perfect for you
all and I probably will for Timeless Daydreams, but for my blog
I got to thinking..."You know what? Not every moment or LO is perfect!
I am just going to show everyone what happens when a HUGE raindrop hits your page!" LOL
So here it is hehehe
This is the BEAUTIFUL January Kit from Timeless Daydreams,
another site I just love and am a Guest DT this month.Now the lace and big snowflakes are mine
but the rest is the kit...
I hand made these lace flowers....
do you think I need to make a tutorial??
Also this morning I made a quick tutorial on using the
FREESTYLE MOUSE cutter from Purple Cows.
I forgot to mention on the video it also cuts fabric...and pretty much anything else!

Hope it works for you. if you have questions let me know!

Yesterday I scrapped THREE layouts,
let me tell you why...
I broke into the February kit for Scrapbooking From The Inside Out
and it totally inspired me to scrap! You know how you get
a kit and you know it's special because you cannot think about
anything BUT scrapping with it!! OMG that is SO the SFTIO February kit!
AND...I was told..that SFTIO is going to have a HUGE crop in February!
So JOIN and tell them I sent ya...
Guess who is HOSTING the crop??
ME! That's right MZZZZ PINKY!
So you know it will be fun :)

OK back to creating and cleaning, I need to get a
hot dinner ready for these hungry boys coming home!

Have a GREAT Wednesday!
~Thank YOU for stopping by~
~Pinky~

~Happy New Year! A few more reveals!~

Good morning all you lovely crafters and friends!

Happy New Year!
I have a couple of reveals today...

A few more from Scrapbooking From The Inside Out,
I like this one...The emotion this month is POSSIBILITY.
Just Imagine Journaling:
Just Imagine: How much more you could accomplish
every day if you did not worry about how fat you are.
If you could wake up every day and say
"I am beautiful, a good mom, and a nice person"
Imagine how much happier you would be.
How much it would change your life if you stopped
punishing yourself and repeating bad patterns.
Anything would be possible.

I will be honest here, I was real happy with the first few layouts I did...
then I got sort of stumped!
The last 2 I don't feel like I did the beautiful kit justice..
but you know what? Not every LO is a home run! LOL
So I am ok with it :)
This is a picture I took in Kentucky while on Vacation in June at the cabin.
This is Andrew in Hawaii
He hates his picture being taken!
Happy New Year again!
I am one of the lucky ones this year,
I have had some not so good stuff happen this year,
but by the same token I have had some GREAT stuff happen.
So I cannot complain, God has blessed me in the grand scheme of things.
I hope your 2010 is amazing and beautiful just like YOU!

~Thank you for sticking with me through 2009!~
~Have a great New Year's Day whatever was you spend it~
~May blessings and love fill your hearts all year long~
~Pinky~

~How excited am I?!! It is a new day and a fresh start!~

Hey all you beautiful bloggers/crafters!
Pinky is IN DA' HOUSE! hehe

I am offically MOVED and having a ball unpacking...

ok ok not really a ball per say LOL but I am muddling through ok.
We have an amazing Thanksgiving with a total of 13 people here.
Everyone was gracious and kind about the food, and it was so relaxed and fun!
Here are me and my girlyfriends on the front porch before they all
left with their children. It was a great day!I never realized just how much my life would change for the better
moving away from Oregon. The peace and relaxation of the holidays
is 100% worth it. I know it has been a rough move and a trying 2.5 years
but the reward is finally showing.
No worries about running into anyone who might hurt me,
no worries about the stress of drama and pain or facing my past
every single year, just me and those whom I love.

OK on to fun Scrappy news!
