So Many Events

INTRODUCING: PHOEBE
This little sweetie was welcomed into my household after her owner met up with some unforseen unfortunate circumstances! it was so emotional; she had to part with her kitty, i just parted with my kitty, and phoebe had strange surroundings to get used to! phoebe will be having kittens so this will be interesting!

This project was done for a challenge at Scrap City! 3 envelopes, ribbon, some cardstock, scraps and embellishments. so fun and versatile!

Scrap city is having a "Pink Crop" this weekend and one of the challenges was "wear your pink", i had some help from two friends at work and i had my own Pink day! LOL

my friend Jennie took the pics and my friend Judy lent me the scarf! it was a fun morning!

A new Angel at The Rainbow Bridge

On Sunday I had to say goodbye to my dear little buddy, Chubb. I had her for 13 years and she was a few months shy of 20 years. She was a regular chatterbox and i didnt need an alarm clock, she let it be known that it was time to get up!
She loved to play in boxes! big or small she loved them all!
She didnt like water from a bowl on the floor so this was her usual mode of water, as well as the bathtub faucet! when i would run a bath she would hop up to the sink everytime and when i filled the sink she would paw the water, swish her tail in it, stare at her reflection and have a drink!
She didnt like the kitty pumpkin on her sink!
the snowmen invaded her chair at Christmas-time! she had her own tree, stocking, hat and scarf!

Goodbye my dear friend! you'll never be forgotten and i will always love and cherish you!

A new week and some new shouts!

My friend Bela from CROPPERSTIMEZONE frequently hosts Kards for Kids which members of her group participate in to donate the cards to TORONTO SICK KIDS HOSPITAL! These cards bring such joy to everyone! The kids have access to them so they can send a card to someone and the staff have access to them to add some joy to someones day!
Altered notebooks are great for taking notes and memos about medications etc! I crated the notebooks above and also some of the cards for Bela to take to SICK KIDS! I love the idea of giving joy to someone with something that brings me joy!
If you would like to be part of a down-to-earth group come over and say hello to Bela, myself and the other wonderful girls!

Many of the projects i do are done on the go! I bring something to do on the bus and on my breaks! The UHU glue stik comes in handy for this! It is small, portable and reliable! No worry of messes or spills! The cards and 4 small notebooks were done on the go and the UHU glue stik never let me down! I also recieved a sample of UHU TAC and discovered it is great for popping embelishments on cards! you can use as little as you want (no cutting of adhesives to make the sticky smaller) When making kards for the kids embellishments and small pieces cannot be added to the cards so I dont have a UHU TAC Embellished card to show at this time! UHU TAC is great to attach "works of art" to the fridge and to post reminders!
Wishing you all a happy scrappy day!

one more altered jar!

I was browsing for some ideas for an altered lunch-box and my journey brought me to this site called " some assembly required " (http://www.alter-nativefun.blogspot.com/ ! I didnt find a lunch-box but i did find a challenge for beads! I cant resist a challenge so i had to give in!

I handpicked the green and clear beads out of a jar of multicolored beads so i could adhere them to the chipboard scallop! The bottom pic is a close-up of how i accented one of the jar handles!

This was a fun project to do! I hope you will browse on over and take a look at some awesome work!

Have a happy scrappy day!

Altered card box with cards

I was honored to have had this set of cards and altered card box chosen as LOTD (layout of the day) at Scrapperie! The box is altered with American Crafts pattern paper and the cards are predominately made with American Crafts ( pattern paper and ribbon) the sentiments are from my stash and the flowers were purchased from The Scrapping Bug!

Scrapperie is hosting a Scrap-olympics! The challenges are fun and they run until August 31!

in a slump!

gosh, i've been so busy away from the house doing other activities besides scrapping, so i'm behind in my posting updates! I'll be back ..........!
