~More Unibind fun, Fall/Thanksgiving Apple Cider book~

Good morning my crafty-licous friends!

I took the boys to the pool yesterday and when I got

home I was so inspired to make a scrapbook,

I decided to get my Unibind out and my last book

and make a book.

For this one I used the Apple Cider line from Imaginisce,

and I painted it with that cool Folk Art paint.

Now first of all I cut a bunch of paged into 8X8 size and

made the actual book.

Then I painted the edges with the acrylic Folk Art paint

in Apple Red

Then I covered it with the Apple Cider papers,

and embellishments. Even the rub-ons! LOL Oh yea!

Here are the papers I put inside.

I am really excited to place all my fall pictures in this book!

Here is another scrapbook I made without the fancy cover.

Only because I am not sure what I want to do yet. :)

But I wanted to show you that you can put 8X8 scrapbook paper into

these books to make a real scrapbook.

It's pretty fun and looks so cool!

Anyways that is all for me today! :)

Have you signed up for the Tim Holtz signed embossing folder

giveaway RIGHT HERE?!

~Happy Friday! Time for some fun and a CHA TRIP Giveaway!!!!!~

Happy FRIDAY!!!!! I am so excited,

I leave on Sunday for Chicago!!!!
I know you must be sick of hearing about it LOL


Yesterday someone asked me about this flower
I made so I thought I would post it.
The flower is some sort of Prima Flower and I WRAPPED
this Webster's Pages Bloomer's Ribbon.
Then I used my irock to place a clear gemstone on
the button. That's it.

Because I am genuinely crazy, I decided
at the last minute to play in a challenge on
Tally Scrapper.It's called "So You Think You Can Scrap"
I am not playing to win.
I am just playing to have some fun.

If I win I am sending the box of goodies to my
friend Denise. Who has slipped off the face
of the scrap world LOL

Anyways, I just thought I would have fun.

The first challenge was to scrap a 8.5X11 PURPLE PAGE
that says "So you think you can...?"
I chose Judge Me?
I had to use twine, and a wallet sized photo.
Oh and an all purple page...(yes this
is purple, it's the Whitewash Color Core'dinations purple paper)
Not because I am angry but it's funny how people
judge me because of my pink hair.
They think I am a punk, or goth, or a crazy drunk.
In reality, I am such a soccer mom it hurts LOL

Anyways, just some scrap fun.

Now for the beginning of my CHA giveaways! :)
I have some chipboard and papers
from the new Imaginisce Apple Cider Collection
*just a few*I was not supposed to get the extras but
a cross over in shipping time and another DT
gave me some so I am passing them along.

Be sure to leave a comment here and
pass the word along!!! It's going to be a fun week!

Stay tuned this week because I have a big one
by the end of CHA and I plan on giving
away most of the goodies I get at the show!
You won't want to miss it!

Ok I am off to pack and go to the PO!

~Thanks for popping by~
~Happy Friday Y'all~

~Tuesday is for creating....*I think*~

Good morning my friends,

it looks to be a wonderful day *I hope* LOL

Yesterday I had the most wonderful surprise in the mail.
From Canada with no NAME??!!It was a Keeping Chickens book and
I love it so much. We had looked for books in the library
but they are all out and have been since we
began. To whomever surprised me with this book...
THANK YOU!!!!!

I was making aprons yesterday and I wanted to share
but my battery for my camera went dead,
so I guess it will keep until tomorrow :)

Meanwhile I did finish my wall hanging
with the new Imaginisce Apple Cider Line.
This week I had some Cricut cartridges sent to me and
the Sentimentals was in the pack. I knew right away
that I wanted OWLS on the hanging.

Now I feel like it is complete.
OK I am off to play with the boys today...
I have a couple dresses to finish, and an apron to
photograph. But the boys need mom today!!

~Have a wonderful day~
~Thank you for stopping by and saying hi~
I sit down every night and read the comments....
thank you all

~Pinky~

~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 :)~

~School time is coming up fast!~

Morning everyone.
Can you believe here we only have 2.5 weeks until
school begins? I am just blown away by how
short summers are now.
When I was a child we had 12 weeks off, now
they barely and I mean BARELY have 8 weeks.

Getting the Apple Cider line from Imaginisce
reminded me that fall is fast approaching, so
I decided to make some back to school cards.

So far I have made 1 LOL
And it took me an hour.
Of course I was playing with my Cricut, and the i-rock tool
while doing it. It was very therapeutic.

I took a wide piece of tulle, I think it was 4" and I
gathered it. Then I glued it down with Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.
Then I used Helmar Zapdots and put them over the tulle
and added the wood grain paper.
I like the end result with the tulle on both sides.

I used the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge for the words,
and the i-rock tool for all the gems.
That i-rock tool is addicting!!!

I am going to do 2 classes with the i-rock on August 21st.
The class is ONLY 10.00 and I will bring the tool to play with.
If you are anywhere near Kentucky, let me know
the Scrapbook Village is hosting! :)
They are hosting with a PINK dessert too LOL

Well, today is another summer fun day
I feel the library coming on....

~Have a great Wednesday~

~Wet & rainy Tuesday = baking fun~

Good morning friends.
It is a rainy and VERY wet day here in TN.
I am not complaining because the sunflowers
& gardens need it so badly.

I have been sewing so much, I had not had time
to scrap. I made myself sit down and play last night.
I was feeling off. Even though it is simple
I still like the layout.

I used my Cricut Hello Kitty Font Cartridge for the title.
I love having the Cricut for extras on a page.
*thank you to a friend who sent it to me*
I have to realize not every Layout needs layer after layer
and all the fancy stuff LOL
I made this layout because for me fall represents
an excuse to BAKE and have my friends and family
around with good meals and good times.
All the time inside if perfect for baking and
having parties. I love every season for different reason and
fall is right up there for me! :)

~Birthday Bash Winner~

Good morning my crafty friends...

I am running late with this prize announcement,
my weekend was FULL!

I have a quick funny story & pics this morning.
Hubby HATES watermelon, I mean he
hates it. He won't even kiss me when I eat it.
In all the years we have been together he
has never cut watermelon for me,
he always wants me to cut it.
Well that man...that man and his chickens.
He found out they LOVE watermelon,
now that man is a watermelon cutting fool! LOL
I went to the coop and saw he had cut the watermelon
for the boys and gave the rinds to those chickens LOL
It was cute and funny.

I finally got to see Eclipse *very good*
My girlfriend treated, I needed a girls day.

Hubby had baseball lastnight,
it has been so fun watching him play.

Today I will be pulling out my Helmar and
the BRAND NEW LINE from Imaginisce....
I am SO excited!!!

Ok on to the BIRTHDAY BASH WINNER!!!!!!!
