Inspiration Class being offered

Hi, Everyone!  I'm excited to introduce my class, Finding Inspiration, that will start July 5.  It's a three week class to show you how to use magazines for inspiration in scrapbooking.  I don't mean scrapbooking magazines.  I mean regular, old magazines you have laying around your house.  You will get downloadable PDF's with sketches and ideas for creating scrapbook layouts.  Classes will be presented each Monday.  Your participation is encouraged.  There will be drawings for prizes during the course for those who participate.  At the end of the course, one lucky participant will receive a BIG prize...worth $29.95.  So, please join me. (Make sure to subscribe or follow this blog to join the class, and to receive updates)   I can't wait to get started.  Pass this information along to others.  The more, the merrier.

Fun Little Project Idea

Fancy Pants Papers for the flowers, Basic Grey Cardstock for the base.  Unknown Paper for the butterflies.

Here is a fun, easy project made with a toilet paper roll.  I mean, this project is really super easy.  I love how the flowers came out.  Here is the link for the instructions.  It's a video from Cosmo Cricket.

Enjoy it!  I really hope you try it out!

So Far Summer Reccomendations

Books I reccomend.  I'm going to start #2 of the Stieg Larrson Trilogy.  Sh*t My Dad Says, is Hilarious.  If you're offended by curse words, it's not for you.  But I loved it.  It was a great book.  I'm a big fan of the Alex Cross Novels by James Patterson.

And, the others on the side of my blog.  I need to add these to my list.  Well, I hope you enjoy your day.  Let me know what you guys think, if you've seen or read some of the reccomendations.  Today, if I get a chance, I'll post some scrap-related stuff.  I have to take my dog to the vet this afternoon to get her stitches taken out.  She has a 6-7 inch incision on her back.  I took a picture, but didn't want  to gross you out.  See ya!

Reason #235 and a Happy Father's Day Shout Out

Reason #235 of why men don't scrapbook...They think your Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist is to be used for building beer can pyramids.

Also, Happy Father's Day!  I hope you all enjoy your Sunday.  See you tomorrow!

Under the Weather

Made with the June 2010 MW Express Kit (except for tooth stickers)

Well, we are a little sick around here.  Maddie has a bout of the stomach flu.  He had me up a lot last night.  Today is a Lazy day with a capital "L". 

Here is the cure for any illness.  Maddie got a little bit down.

The sick boy, himself.  Yes, I'm sure someday he will hate me for posting such wonderful pictures for all to see.

Needless to say, my motivation for crafting of any sort has gone out the window.  However, motivation for a nap is high.  So in about 30 minutes I will be putting JoJo down and partaking in a nap.  Perhaps, I will feel more motivated afterwards. 

I swear, I do have some projects to share with you.  Someday I will post them.  Sorry, I guess to be honest, the motivation for anything has been low this week.  Next week will be better...I hope.  Well, it better be because I'm driving myself crazy :) 

Fancy Pants Papers and Die Cuts

Sorry, the photo is a little blurry.  JoJo used to empty out my clothes hamper and pretend it was his boat.  He took an early nap today.  So, I have a bit of time to post.  Well, that's all for today.
