House ;) As one of the Design Team assignments for Pink Pineapple I altered a bird house. Each designer is doing a house according to their own style. The houses are really cool to look at -- Heather Barker's makes me crack up because it is so "her". It's black! I love it tooo much.So about my little house:The flowers are all Prima that I glued to the roof--then I glimmer misted them with Lime

A couple weeks ago I was working in my scrap room on some class stuff and Matthew was awake. Usually I cannot get anything done if he is up and around. He was really interested in what I was doing so I gave him a stamp, ink pad and some paper and showed him how to stamp. Then he grabbed the Bind It All and started punching stuff. I had to get the camera.Look at what he made!! (hee hee)Anyways, it

So here it is:Last weekend I went to Desert Scrappers Retreats and collected canned food for the Fiskars' and Scrapbook Royalty's "Feed Our Communities" food drive.

I just returned from a crazy day and am looking forward to a relaxing night watching some TV with the hubby. After a crazy night of cropping, I got home early this AM and stayed up to finish prepping my class for today. Usually I am so organized but things have gotten so out of whack lately that I am prepping last minute now, which is hard on everyone. I plan to take most of July "off" so I can

I love my camera but sometimes I don't get the results I want. Katie and Matt also play around taking pics with mixed results. But I still want to scrap their photos even if they are terrible! On top of that, my camera has been in a downward spiral ever since I dropped at Disneyland in April--the battery cover won't stay on, it has duct tape on it, and now it is having more and more trouble

During the Black White and Craft All Over event I went to I picked up some goodies from Pink Pineapple from the American Crafts TEEN Line. I LOVE the bright colors and funky stickers! Last night I was just playing around, getting in a little scrap therapy, and made a page about Katie's girl scout sleepover last year. I mixed fabric and puffy thickers--OMG I can never have enough thickers!!Tonight

I had a blast at Desert Scrappers as usual! The whole family came out with me and were in the pool the whole time. Matthew had on a Spiderman swimsuit and he kept running around flirting with all the ladies--even the hotel staff was calling him Spiderman by the end of the weekend. I didn't take any pics though...but I got a few layouts done that I can share:Yesterday I went down to San Diego to

What a crazy fun-filled weekend this was!On Saturday I headed out to Pink Pineapple Scrapbooks in Vista to teach two back to back classes, Build A Banner Workshop (a Prima endorsed class) and "So Tweet", a 6x12 mini book. Since one class was for Prima, I had a prize to give out and Brenda won, yet again.I need to have her buy me some lottery tickets! LOL She always wins!On Sunday I headed over to

Sometimes everyone needs a little vacation and I guess that is what happened this past week. I started several blog posts but just didn't have the time to get them done, photos taken and added, and what not.

It used to be that someone could rip off someone else's idea and get away with it. But not anymore. Post your ripoff on the internet and someone will find it!!!! So be warned.I usually write this kind of stuff down and then tear the paper up and throw it away. It helps to get it out and then be done with it.

First, this past Sunday I got Copic Certified!! Check it out--I am listed on the Copic Instructor Page!! That means I now know everything there is to know (let' hope I retained it all) about Copic Markers. I've been using them for some time but now I discovered I was doing it "wrong."

My good friend Maria Getz is a Cancer Survivor. She recently shared her story with a group of us at a little get together she had at her house.She is attending the Royal Slumber Crop in three days in San Marcos, CA. The crop is benefiting the Cancer Coping Center. Please read Maria's letter below:Dear Friends:As of August 06, I have been cancer free. It feels like a lifetime ago and it also feels

My Bind It All Basics classes have been a HUGE success! WOW!! Thanks so much to everyone who came to the classes thus far-I hope you all left feeling empowered and ready to bind some books!Earlier this month I taught the class at The Scrappin' Table in Placentia, CA. We also made the BONUS project, a fun little mini book featuring Zutter's Cover-Alls. Each student customized their Cover-All and

At Christmas Michael's had mini metal frames with hooks attached. They were in the clearance section for $1 each!I picked up 4 frames and then painted them black with acrylic paint. Then I took some scraps of paper (Stampin' Up! paper I got from Maria Getz) and put that inside the frame with a diecut letter. I made one for each member of the family. Then I tied a bit of ribbon in a bow at the top

I finally finished the Wizard of OZ banner I have been working on. It's been hanging on my wall for two days, trying to make sure nothing falls off and everything is dry. It has been humid up here since the middle of the week when it rained so my adhesive and Glimmer Mist are taking a bit to dry. I am really pleased with how it turned out! I sure hope Julie likes it!!It's going to be my last

How could I have even missed a day blogging!? LOL Well, maybe Xaver being home sick had a little to do with it. ;)This Friday I am going to share Five Places for Cool Stuff (that can be used for scrapping):The Craft Kitchen - Cool Crafty Classes. They don't have scrapbook stuff but it is a good place to go for inspiration and learn something new. I am looking into whether or not they will do any

I'm on a roll, getting pages done , scanned, and uploaded--woohoo! I love that I am making progress since I am "behind" on my 365 pages in a year goal. By now I should have completed about 62 pages and I have only done about 31 so far this year. I'm giving myself some slack though because I have been unusually sick but now that I am feeling better it is time to get serious!!On this layout I had

Wow times flies when you're having fun, huh? Well, not so much having fun just on the go. If I could figure out a painless way to blog from my Blackberry I would but alas there are only so many hours in the day and they seem to be slipping through my fingers.A health update--got some new meds and hopefully I will be on the road to recovery soon. I lost my voice today too. I wish someone would let

I am forever bringing ugly, overfilled bins of disorganized photos with me to crops. The result is that I get little done and I can never find that “perfect photo” I know is hiding in the box. A couple of times the bin fell over in the car and the photos I had "kind of" organized were a total mess after that. I created this little photo keeper from envelopes and scrap chipboard to help me

After binding a few books I’ve found that I have leftover scraps of wires – sections of two to 4 loops of wire that I haven’t quite figured out a way to use. At the same time, my daughter was having trouble storing her necklaces, especially the bulky beaded necklaces that did not fit in the drawers of her little girl jewelry box. I took one cover from a set of Teresa Collins Covers and

The day is over and we both are finally home, in our opposite ends of Southern California but all is well since we had a great day fundraising, scrappping, sharing, and bringing the good work of Scrapbook Royalty across the land.

Let's face it - we're all watching our pocketbooks this year. The economy is in the toilet and no matter how much money we make, it doesn't seem to go as far as it used to. Well, that doesn't mean you have to stop scrapping or start skimping on your projects. Here are some ideas to make your pages fabulous that will make you feel good too.Make a Page, Make a CardThey say that in this information

I am taking the weekend off from posting because I am really really sick. Hopefully I will be feeling better tomorrow for the Royalty On the Road event at Pink Pineapple. So I am off to rest up some more now. See you there. Btw I am not contagious--just another sinus infection.

I've been busy making samples for Scrapbook Boulevard's booth at Scrapbook Expo this weekend. They are featuring deals on 7Gypsies goodies and Glimmer Mist so you will definitely want to stop by their booth if you go to Expo.

Everyone is always asking me to see photos of my family and I never have anything nice in my purse to show them. This last summer we got professional photos taken and these are photos I am proud to show! I created this mini brag book for my purse to showcase these photos. Now I can say “Yes” when people want to see photos of the family.To keep it simple I cut 4x5 pages for the inside of the book

It's been snowing off and on all day and I am worried about going in the pass- don't want to get stuck down the hill tonight! My class at Collective Journey is postponed until Thursday so hopefully all of this snow stuff will pass by then. For now I am just sitting here trying to get a little bit done on some class kits and get ready for March. See you soon!

Fancy Pants is doing a little contest over on their blog., I just used their new V-Day paper line in my class yesterday so I figured I'd make a little something from the scraps:I created this card using strictly scraps. I cut some hearts from the Fancy Pants patterned paper and I also punched some with the new Fiskars scalloped heart nesting squeeze punches. I punched a double scalloped border
