Various layouts (212-217)

These are number 212-217 for this year. I am TRYING to get my groove back. I hate the one where I have the certificate on it but I needed another page (her first hair cut was four pages long!) so this was a good to put in there. I wish I would have done the journaling on the back like I did with "wonder".

My new Crafting Space!

My dear loving and amazing husband set this all up for me, he fixed the counters, drilled some holes for cords. I organized, labeled and set up the various "stations". I also reorganized the shelves. I am ready to craft LOL! The only thing I need is a cup holder to fasten the side and a new chair but I can wait! I am so excited! From left to right, I have my cricut and cuttlebug station (close to the laptop) in case I learn Design Studio (Hahah!). Then in the middle is my work area with my WONDERFUL Sweet Nothings spinner organizer (THANK YOU BDAY GIRLS!). Then there is the cutting station and the card making/brainstorming area. I have my paper holder to the far right and then in the cabinet are the alter ables and more. Hope you like it!

The start of my newly redone space!

The second day we were here, Jon drove me out to the next town to get some counters that we found on Craigslist. They were 8 feet long EACH and fairly new for 25.00! So after some off roading and wrong turns we scored the counters and brought them home to the garage. Now we were on the hunt for cabinets. Our budget was pretty limited and we were not having luck in the clearance at Home Depot, Lowes or on Craigslist (we had been looking for awhile before we moved also). We also did NOT want to mount them to the walls since this is only a rental. So we figured out that we could get jetmax aka Simply Built storage from Michaels and stack them two high and it would be the perfect height for me. So that is what we did over the weekend, we went to Michaels, bought six of the jetmax (three 3 drawer ones, and three 4 drawer ones) and Jon put them all together on Sunday night. Monday was a rough day for us so we didn't get things together. We did it last night though! HOWEVER we have some more work to do since the lip of the counters prevents me from using the two two drawers of the four drawer ones that are on top. I also think I need two more to support in the middle of the longer piece. The space measures 81 inches by 92 inches WOOOOHOOO! I am so excited! It is NOT done yet, but what do you think so far????

Scrap Sketch #157 (my first submission!)

I love scrap sketch sketches. This one was amazing. I love love love these pictures. I used I think Doodlecharms for the four apples and George or GS for the circle. Thickers inked up with Tim Holtz ink for the title. Various apple patter paper and some journaling strips. I also used Glossy Accents on the apples, they really shine in real life.

Just a note

I know I have not posted much and there is a reason for that. I have not done much. I am adjusting to life in a new state, a new schedule for munchkin and I and just have no desire to create. I know it is horrible and I apologize BUT hubby bought me some jetmax cubes yesterday to go with the counters we scored a while back off of craigslist and we are going to be expanding my workspace to almost DOUBLE what it is so I don't feel like I am squished in the corner. I hope that helps. Will keep you all posted!

New design!

Living room vinyl

Scrapalette on the cricut messageboard was kind enough to weld all this together for me when I was about to lose my mind! Jon was nice enough to hang it up for me. We used painters tape to pick the letters directly up from the mat and keep them straight to put on the wall. Much easier than doing them individually! LOL! It says "No matter what No matter where If love is there its always home" Thought it was pretty fitting!
