& some Joshly ATCs for a swap.

Josh Mini Mini Book

This is the teeny tiny minibook I made the other day.
It's 2x2 inches. As someone commented on Sistv, I now have Josh in the palm of my hand. hehe.

My Evil Uterus

Stuff from the last few days (4/3-4/5)

My uterus was being evil today so... I scrapped it. I wanted ot rip it out and scrap it, but the paper piecing was fun. :) For the latest Scrap Mojo challenge (use office supplies & lingo)

A card for a coworker

A box to store my ATCs in w/ new Jenni Bowlin paper.

A Josh LO, I used some pieces of old window screen on this one. Love the texture of it!

Picture taken by me in LA last year.

A Josh ATC. Used new Heidi Swapp & 7 gypsies. Gotta fix the handwritten part it says "This is me alone" but it smeared. :( The back is houndstooth (LOVE) and says My December on it. You can see it in my SisTv gallery.

Also, made a mega mini album (2x2 in) that fits in my hand. It will have it's own post later.

Basic Grey Boxer...is love.

My new Basic Grey came yesterday. I drooled over it, I smelled it, and then I played with it.
Made this little house for my mom ( chipboard house byDoodlebug).

Did this LO today. For the latest Category Stories Challenge.I really need to upadte my links so I can include some more of the challenge blogs I've found.

I made this album out of ticket stubs and concert programs. Inspired by The Art is Found.

Ren faire, here & there.

~~~Removed one image~~~~

and another page from RenFaire. Which I covered all my cleavage in...
both of these pages were made with a digital kit which I printed elements out from and traditionaly scrapped. Hybrid pages they are called (for you nonscrappers out there).
This one looks so much more vibrant... I'll have to take another photo of it. This doesn't do justice to the colors.






A few pages from the Phoenix Josh show a year ago. (3/25/07)
I scrapped one of these on the anniversary of that show.
Not so sure I like the girliness of them. Both from sketches.








A Rusty Pickle Pirate Book I made in a class last August, but finally put pictures in tonight.
We're doing another Rusty Pickle class next month, am excited!! Amy did you get the email about it? If not I'll fwd it to you.

See the whole book here

Happy Josh-i-versarry to me!

3 years ago today I gave Josh a scrapbook that I made with a friend for him. I got to hand it to him...it was a particularly awesome moment. Here's a picture of that...*sigh*

Today I played with my Bind It All for the first time... and made this little book. It's covered with fabric. The J is not affixed on there yet, but if I put Josh pics inside I will probbaly glue that on. Not sure if I like the way the J looks on there.

It was easy to do, but I screwed it up anyhow. First I didn't have the paper in all the way and punched my holes crooked. I just flipped it over and repunched those pages, no big..I covered the edges with red tape so it looks ok. Then I didn't think that my back cover had to be flipped backwards when I punched it to make the holes line up with the front cover... So I had to TAKE IT APART after I bound it to repunch those holes... hence the ribbon on the right side of the cover (thanks TaG for the idea..LOL). Anyway, despite my spazziness I like it. I'll probbaly decorate the inside of it later this week.

Question for you Bind It All users...when you punch the cover & the inside pages, there isn't an option for "continuous punching" that space is blocked... how do you make a bigger book then? Isn't that what the continuous punching thing is for?

I'm off to scrap one more page before bed... that picture above.

It's been sitting in my box waiting for the right moment. It's been 3 years. Now is the time.

Scrappy Weekend

My dad's birthday was yesterday. I made him a card and this frame.

Also made this mini purse out of a bag that held buttons.

A LO using the leftovers from that project, about my sister being a teacher.

A LO featuring my Grandparents. Using the Concroption Jan 07 kit.

Another LO with the same kit. that's me when I was 4.

This 8x8 photobook. It was a good way to use all those pics of Kaitee I printed from that day, I've already made 2 Lo's about the cookies. LOL.

You can see the interior pages HERE.

Friday Night Crop

Friday Night I went to the monthly crop and got a ton of stuff done. :)

We stayed until 2am. So some of these were made on Saturday.

Squishable Kaitykins. Don't really love this page.

This was me breaking the rules at the Petrified Forest.

Sally & I had fun taking pictures of our reflections at the Petrified Forest.

This one was a misunderstanding on my part. That's what I heard him say, but really he said "Hello, who is this?" It was too funny not to scrap. (LA 3-31-07) I took the picture too.

My best friends Sally & Lou & I at Talaquepaque in Sedona.

Josh and Angelique singing Pearls in Anahiem, Ca on 8-25-07 . I love how this came out. :D Another one of my pictures.

A minibook that I am going to fill with quotes I like.

Minibook complete!

Finished the minibook of doom. I adore it.

I used stickers and rubs on's for the titles.

each card is backed with pink/green/brown

patterned paper. Ribbons on a bookring bind it.

I sanded the edges of them all. I hate the sound

of sandpaper. It hurts my teeth, but I braved through it.

Here are my favorite 2 pages.

If you want to see the whole thing

it's HERE.

In case you are curious as to who those goobers are...

Green: Me

Pink: Sally

Brown: Lou

Work in Progress

Still working on my minibook. I may finish it tomorrow. Depends how much I get done tonight. Here's a peek at it.

Went shopping yesterday and got DCWV Chrsitmas Stacks at Joann's for like $5. OMG. SQUEE!

Also saw Sweeney Todd. It's freaking awesome! Just beware that it's a HORROR/ MUSICAL. Completely sick and twisted, but Johnny & the music and the cinematography... AMAZING.
