Fall Layout-weekend colors

So, my weekend color combo challenge is goldrush, olive & chocolate. I had a large photo from last year that I ended up not using, so I will give this layout to the folks for their scrapbook. Try to give them a few pages each year to sum it up. I ended up adding a fourth color to mat the photo on in this one:

TV Show Soundtracks

Do you ever watch shows on tv, series...and just LOVE the music & songs they play? Like tonight, I was watching Las Vegas & just now Ghost Whisperer...and they play the greatest songs, I know you can find out who they are (at least I think you can). Wish somebody didn't take our ipod or we could find it (still think someone took it GRR!)...so I could load some of these songs on to it & enjoy them more than just the bit on a show. Wonder if the network ever comes out with a top songs soundtrack for all their shows?

This weeks colors...

3 Colors (cranberry, black & ocean) quite bright. It's hard to see but JOY is heat embossed with silver powder. I think I will make these some back up christmas cards in case I run out of other ones already made.

4 Colors (cranberry, indian corn blue, outdoor denim blue & desert sand) more sublte...but still fun! I didn't stamp on these, just used ribbons, flowers & accents to finish them off. I will stamp some sort of sentiment on them later I think.

AFRICAM-very cool

http://http://www.wavelit.com/popup/playerAfricam.asp#A fellow consultant posted this on a board and I had to put it here for you all to see..it's a live feed from a place in Africa...make sure you turn your sound on or up on your computer so you can get the full effect.

4 COLORS

This was for the weekend too, four colors...really enjoyed thse & the flower girls stamp set...which I don't use often enough!

The weekend Colors

Are so much better...phew...blush, sweet leaf & garnet...nice & easy to work with!

A more pleasant color combo

This was from last weekend (I think) and I really did like these colors!

This weeks color combo art

So...this was an AWFUL color combo week for me. Not sure what in the world I was thinking! I liked the 3 color one...it was the 4 color one that threw me. Gosh...I need to stick to colors I "know" work well! Here is an example of each combo!

The Grocery Game

I am trying this out for now...at least until December 15th...during the 4 week free trial. I think I will stay at it for the suggested 12 weeks to see how it goes. I went to some of their suggested sites & joined online coupons....so that I don't have to "have" Them in hand at the store...my chosen store automatically uses them for me. I am just TIRED of paying full price for groceries & know I can do better. Last week I did take $40 off my bill with my own coupon clipping/hunting. Just in case you want to join or check it out...here is a link. Make sure to put my email in as a referral if you join! http://www.thegrocerygame.com/

Happy Halloween Layout

I am getting addicted to digital scrapbooking....I will make some calendar gifts, layout pages for my parents & such. Here is a fun halloween one. I have yet to print one out, so not sure what it'll really look like.

Sewing Machine cards

I can't sew on fabric...no...but I managed to sew on a few cards tonight! I really like how it turned out too! The colors are hollyhock, buttercup, cocoa & indian corn blue ( all ctmh of course) and Sunflower stamp set.

Got the hang of it...

I think. At least to me they look nice....I am getting quicker at it too. I need to get some fun cardstock to print some of these accents on. And what kind of paper to print a digi layout on? Matte photo paper? Cardstock? Hmmm....don't want to waste too much ink on practicing. Ineed to research this I guess.

One more digital....

Ok, if I can do one or two layouts a week....digitally, then I can print them off later for quick xmas gifts for grandparents, parents, etc. I can make a mini calendar or a mini scrapbook...and it wont' take me forever!

Wannabe Digital

I SO love the layouts in CK & SS with digital layouts. And on 2 peas....such cool effects & layers. I WANT TO BE ONE! Enough that 6 months ago I spent too much on Photoshop & all sorts of digi kits. Well, I HAVE to do it...and tonight I made a page that I really do like. I might even print the thing! PLEASE tell me what you think...good/bad? Remember I am a newbie to this!

Two Funky Flowery Cards

Just finished these up. Used diluted reinker, heat embossing & dimensionals to make them busy & messy.

Let it snow...

Uh, sorta. Hear about the big blizzard Colorado supposidly had? Well, not us. Whatever snow we got was gone by mid day yesterday & the kids were running around in short sleeves. I know some parts of Co got lots of snow. But by no means a "blizzard". Geesh...you'd think we'd been clobbered by the way the news portrayed it.

But....here is my November hostess layout that is isnpired by snow. And a card with a template challenge from CTMH board.

2 Peas Monday

Ok...here is the thought...
If you could only get one thing for Christmas, scrapbooking related, what would it be???
Here is my answer:
A murphy bed. Really...it is scrapbook related because I need the king bed in my scrapbook/guest room to fold up so I have more room! If not that...then a desk...a really long L shaped desk with built in cabinets, drawers, lots of little drawers to hold all my stuff.

Snow on the Roses

Last week I took these photos of the roses out back. It had snowed a little, but also rained. The rain & snow froze on the pretty rose petals & I had to capture this moment. The kids even were in awe of the sight.

Angelina Fiber Cards

My fun & exciting & super friendly co hort with CTMH brought over her angelina fibers for our crop yesterday. She swapped me fibers for paper so I could play with some of them. They are these fine fibers that you heat with an iron to melt/bond them into an image. Very cool. Since they are so sparkly it's hard to capture the real image...but here is what I got. There are all different colors. I will try some other colors & color combos later just for fun.

A few other cards & etc.

Here are a few other things I made recently. I need to check the publication lists to see what the mags are really looking for & start submitting again....Hmm. But the rejection is so hard :).
