I'm a slacker ;)

I've not posted in a few days b/c I've been too busy working and driving around in my new car:)  I'm waiting for a CTMH sign up bonus to come up before I become a consultant.  I'm not a very patient person, so I'm getting really anxious to get started with this.  I've got lots of ideas to help my business.  And just cause I don't like to post anything not accompanied by a picture:

Who says this isn't a family car ;)

Using My SIZZIX

If you read my sizzix post last week you know I was over joyed to get my sizzix texture boutique.  I made my mom and good friend drool over it the other night at my scrapbook get together!  This simple card is made using 2 different folders.  The first one is a Sizzix card folder, that's the one you see in the background.  Then I used the little Sizzix flower one and made the small square, mounted it on some brown and glued it down.  Simple, Easy, and Cute! Even my husband thinks the Sizzix is really cool!

Christmas Cards!

I have a wonderful group of friends that gets together every week or 2 to scrapbook together and this week I hosted our little party at my house.  Scrapbooking and Sangria, what a great time:)  I made these Christmas cards!  I used sketches found at Page Maps for inspiration.  I am in LOVE with that website!  I printed out every pdf card map in the archives and stuck it in a sheet protector then in a 3 ring binder.  I printed out every Scrapbook layout sketch for 2010 also:)  If you haven't ever visited page maps, you NEED to check it out!!!  Here's my cards:

Hooligans

 Here's my monster layouts!  I based my first layout off the workshop guide that came with the kit although I like to change it up to suit my style/craft ability/current supplies! 

MONTSTERS!

I am not usually a big stamper when it comes to scrapbooking.  I prefer to only use stamps for sentiments on cards.  HOWEVER this month I ordered the Hooligans Kit from CTMH and fell in love with the monster stamps!  Just look how cute these guys are, they make me want to stamp all night long!

Check in tomorrow to see the layout I added these cute little monsters too!

Flippity Floppity

Here's another of my pre-made layouts!  Page #2 can be flipped any direction, I think I prefer it the best with the purple strip on the left

ZOO photography

I was so very excited to take my new camera to the zoo last week!  I knew there would be GREAT photo opportunities there! Here's some of what I shot:
