~Saturday giveaway update and bling'in it up with my i-rock!~

Good morning!!!!

Today I am packing but I set this to post
while I was away baking and such.

I REALLY wanted to play more with my i-rock,
so I decided to BLING up my Yellow Box shoes for CHA

They were lime green polka dot with pink and white, which
I liked but they did not match anything I owned LOL
So I decided to BLING them up and make them more
neutral. You should have seen hubby LOL

His exact words were "Oh &^*% she has a be-dazzler!!"
I was cracking up!!!!!!

I also wanted to show you who are headed to CHA
what to look for! :) ME!
I made 2 aprons, this is one and you saw the other.
I am so excited to meet everyone.
I will be there from Sunday at12pm
until Friday at 5am, I fly out Friday.
So please do track me down!!!!
I have a horrible memory so bear with me.
Just remind me who you are ok?

First thing I am headed to do at CHA
Mission #1 will be finding an APRON
to give away!!!!!

So stay tuned for 5 days of giveaways!
When I get home I will draw names,
so keep on commenting and sharing with your friends.
Each referral is another entry just ask Sandy! :)

~Happy Saturday y'all~

~Back to scrapping & CHA Sneak Peek~

Good morning!
I have been eying this Cosmo Cricket Paper on my
desk for weeks and I finally got to sit
down to make a layout just for me with no pressure!

I decided to grab the *Brand new* release
from Clear Scraps, their
new XL Shaped Acrylic pages

I am in love with this Cosmo Cricket line
the Material Girl line , once again it's perfect for me LOL

I also ran the batteries DEAD in my i-rock LOL
Because of so much blinging!!

Of course the whole LO was Helmar 450 Quick Dry.
Like it would be anything else LOL

This is probably my last scrappy post
for a week or so, I will be posting new blogs
and pictures straight from CHA!!!
Also I have a giveaway coming up and it's HUGE!!!!

So stay tuned, don't forget me while I am gone.
~Thanks for popping by~

~Happy Monday y'all!~

Good morning!!

This morning I am working on cards
and layouts for upcoming classes.
I always struggle with these because I am so freestyle.
I fly by the seat of my pants LOL

I wanted to keep it simple but prettyWhat do you think?
I am thinking that Imaginisce and Cricut make a GREAT PAIR!
I was hoping this would be a great way
to teach the irock and simple enough to get done
with time for a layout.
For this card I used the Imaginisce To Love & Cherish Line
and the Cricut Home Decor Cartridge
for the word LOVE.
I am LOVING the Home Decor cartridge for sure.
And of course the almighty Helmar 450 Quick Dry LOL
Don't forget the Helmar Contest!!!!

Also some fun news...
I received a wonderful email this morning

from a company down under...
They are going to send me some GIVEAWAYS!
I will keep y'all posted :)

Things will be slow this week, as
I am packing up for CHA.
I am going to miss my babies for sure...

Just 6 more days until I head to Chicago!
I will be at CHA from Monday toThursday night.
Hope to see you there!

~Have a great Monday~
~Thank you for stopping by~

~Yea, it's Friday!!~

Happy Friday everyone!!!!
I am so happy the weekend is sliding in to play.

I am ready for some down time this weekend.
Some weeks you feel like you run all week with no
end in sight....

I have one more Apple Cider project I made
this week. I wanted to make a wall hanging for Fall.
So I grabbed the Apple Cider collection, the irock,
my Helmar 450 Quick Dry, and my Cricut.I used the Home Decor cartridge and cut the frame around the
clear panel that says "GIVE THANKS"

I like it but I feel like I want to add something,
maybe a bird or something, not sure yet...
so this will go into my "work in progress" file LOL

You know I just realized I have not made a video
in forever! Man things are slipping into the cracks
with my boys home all summer.
I guess I am ready for them to go back.
I have not had an alone day in a long time LOL

OK, I am off to sew today...and track down
a new sewing pedal. I am so upset...last night my sewing
pedal *which has always given me problems* BROKE!!
I was in tears...I sew every single day.
Today I have to track one down and order it.

~Happy Friday, and have a great day~
~Thank YOU for popping by :)~

~Hello Sunday, hello sunshine....~

Good morning friends :)

It's Sunday and I am knee deep this week in sewing.
But I took a break to make this layout.This is a 100% Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive LO!~

I hope you can see it, I dug out my tattered angels glimmer mist spray
and used it to coat the chipboard, it's so shimmery and pretty.
Helmar partnered with Scrap-tastic again this month
and this is a LO I created with come of the products she sent over.

Most of the papers are Pink Paislee.
I had considered making it into a door hanger, but
at the last minute I went with the layout instead.

This is why I have been quiet this week,
for those of you who don't know I keep
a full time sewing business running through the year
Spring/summer is my busy time
I have been making sundresses like this one....

AND swimwear like this one.
I love this polka dot swim dress top.
If you know anyone XL-1/2X who might want it, let me know.

It's funny, I wasn't always a scrapbooker,
but I always have been a seamstress.
They go hand in hand, but sometimes time
is not on my side with the sewing AND scrapping! LOL

Hubby is working today and getting us some OT! WOOHOO!
That's going to pay for my trip to CHA!

OH and for anyone interested I will be posting pictures during
CHA this year!!!!!! A fun new edition to the blog.

~Have a beautiful Sunday~

~HELMAR Blog Hop and GIVEAWAY!

Good morning my beautiful fellow crafters!

Welcome to the HELMAR BLOG HOP!
You know I am always bragging up Helmar Glue

but let me tell you why....
You know I don't talk about the products that don't work for me
but the Helmar 450 Quick dry Adhesive is by far my favorite from day 1!
They did not even know who I was when I began using it,
I had nothing to do with Helmar but I loved their glue so much
I went crazy!
On this project you can see I used
Paper, wood, paint,metal, and acrylic...
you know why I love 450? Because I could use it all over this project
not changing glues or worrying about stopping!
I used the 450 to glue the paper on, 450 to glue the metal on,
and 450 to glue the acrylic onto the back, and for the butterfly onto the
acrylic so it would appear to be floating!
SOOO...do you want to win a bottle of 450 Quick Dry??This bottle?? Well leave me a comment, if you have used Helmar tell me
why you love it! If you have not and have a question feel free to ask!
Don't forget there are giveaways all along this blog hop
and a HUGE giveaway at the last stop (which is next)
your next stop is the last stop HELMAR

Hope you felt inspired, hope you had fun with me today!

Don't forget the BLOG HOP from Helmar on March 20th!
I am going to fill it up with pictures from my son's St Patty's Day Class party
since I wont be doing any green shots tomorrow LOL
I had to share this quick story,
my son came home from class yesterday and said
"MOM, there were no GIRL bookmarks, and we have more girls than boys
in our class, what are you going to do about that?"
LOL I had to chuckle....

So I grabbed the Lucy Bird line and whipped out some bookmarks
that were more "girly" for the girls in class.
I think I am officially bookmarked-out! Finished for this year! LOL
I sure had fun, even though it was a simple project, it was great for my kids
and it made them so dang happy. It was totally worth it!

Oh and the RAK WINNER!
The Random Number Generator said #11 and that is
