September Scrapfest

I'm back in the studio doing what i love to do! Creating. School is in, the year is not so good, but I'm blessed with a job with little people who are really fun. So I will keep it for now. :) It can only get BETTER!

As I was saying I'm in the studio again...making beautiful things...ok, pretty things...ok, stuff I like to do! I have been using mostly swap stuff so I can get things "DONE!" But soon that will be over too.

September Scrapfest is going on right now for my Facebook group and it is motivating me to scrapbook many pages. I am cannot believe I am already at 28 pages this month. I am lucky to get 2 or 3 done a month and now I am at almost 30.  That is only because I made lots of kits before the weekend crop last week. (was it really only a week ago?)


Here is the page I made last night. Lots of premade items and I actually used some very old Basic Grey chipboard letters and painted them! I'm serious, I really painted my letters with, believe it or not, Making Memories paint. Of course the stuff is so old I had to use a pallet knife to pull it out of the bottle, but I got what I needed and used it! Oh and the papers are all Basic Grey Dasher. (Everything I used on the layout was 10 years old except for the snowflake rosette die from Tim Holtz, it's only 8 years old!) LOL  I still love Basic Grey and still miss this company. 

I have really slowed down on buying Scrapbook stuff because I have so much good stuff to use, I really have the best store in town. I do not feel the need to shop much anymore. :) I still love to look at new toys on Simon Says Stamp and different websites and fill up a cart, but I don't feel the need to  checkout anymore. 

Something else that is happening, I am probably going to lose my consultant status on my Close To My Heart business. I am just not willing to pay for the items to keep my status. So, if I don't get any orders this month, I will be out.  

Not anything else going on scrappy wise, when I have more to add and the time to come here, I will show it off!
