Webster's Pages

The February kit from Scrap N Supply Shack is filled with beautiful papers from Webster's Pages. Very nice colors that can be used for a variety of things, plus fun embellishments like felt flowers, some great trim and ribbon, and lots of buttons and small goodies!! Here are my projects.









Thanks for looking! You should take a peek over at the Scrap N Supply Shack message board, we are going to start having weekly sketch challenges and more fun is planned!!

The Biggest Loser-Round 3

Here it is...round 3 of the Biggest Loser! This week got a bit tougher, we had to use 6 of the 8 scrappy items on the list. AND add some kind of stitching. Here is what I used: Cardstock/Patterned Paper/Scraps, 3 buttons, stamping, embossing, stitching, paint, and a punch. And I had to hand stitch, because no sewing machine for me.


I used an acrylic butterfly, stamped a flourish with versamark and embossed with silver embossing powder. I haven't pulled my heat gun out in a while! I also did some hand stitching on my felt hearts.



I'm definitely having fun using lots of my stash that I forgot I had. I am almost over being sick and looking forward to my race this weekend!! It's the Surf City Half Marathon. I'm hoping to hook up with my online scrapping buddy Joni, as she and her son are both running the race. I'll look for you in the beer garden at the finish line!!

Want Some Sneaks???

I've been working with the February kit from Scrap N Supply Shack and it's gorgeous! The paper is so rich with lots of great colors. Add some fun embellishments and you've got yourself a great kit! Here are a few sneaks...





Full reveal in just a few short days, you are all going to love this kit! I was sick yesterday and today. NOT a good week for that, i'm running my half marathon this Sunday so I hope i'm better by then!!! Hope you are all doing great, Happy Wednesday!!

Retreat Layouts

I went on a scrapping retreat back in December and in the chaos that is December, I forgot to share some of them!! It was a crazy time of year to leave for a weekend, but once I was there it was pure relaxation. I actually got quite a bit accomplished. So, i'll share with you all!!

I love this pic of my sister and BIL with my daughter. They have so much fun together!! And BTW, THANKS Sarah for all the great scrapping stuff you sent the kids! They are in heaven!!!



I finally used some Pink Paislee papers I had been hoarding!!

I love this pic of my mom and daughter. They are quite the pair!! I stickled the heart O after painting the chipboard. Added some bling!!




And here is a real simple layout of my BIL who introduced us to geocaching!!! So much fun that I bought my husband a GPS for Christmas and we are now finding treasures all over town.


I've got more and will try to share later. Going to watch the last couple episodes of The Office, season 4. I LOVE that show!!! It's just so damn funny. Have a good night!

Yummmm....Cheesecake

I received a new cake book for Christmas. It's called The Cake Book by Tish Boyles. It is the kind of cookbook I can read from cover to cover, it has so many great recipes!! Traditional cakes, cheesecakes, mousse cakes, ice cream cakes and all sorts of recipes for frostings and garnishes and toppings. This is my first recipe from the book, White Chocolate Cheesecake with Peaches.



Did you see the peaches??? Well, I couldn't find any in the store! So I decided to go for a dab of buttercream frosting topped with a marachino cherry at regular intervals.



We are getting together with friends for dinner tonight so i'm bringing this for dessert. I've stopped just making desserts at home for no reason, because I end up eating them all. So I like to have a special occasion before I make anything. Sometimes I invite total strangers over for dinner JUST so I can make dessert! Ha, just kidding, but the thought has crossed my mind a few times. This is only my second cheesecake and my first attempt was a total disaster. I sure hope it tastes okay!!



Have a great Saturday everyone!!

The Biggest Loser...round 2

Hurrah! Friday is here! I finally finished my second challenge in the Biggest Loser (Lose Your Stash!!) challenge at Scrapbook Deals 4 U. This week the requirements were to use at least 5 of the following: paint, transparencies, flowers, 3 colors of cardstock, striped paper, fiber and eyelets. And the bonus item was doodling!!! Here is what I came up with. The striped paper is Basic Grey from the Offbeat collection. Love that paper!!





That's about all I got today!! I am going to be early tonight, it's been a long week. Hope you all had a great week!!

Is it Friday yet???????

Dang, this week is going by so slowly. Work has been busy, my daughter has been a piece of work this week and it's only Wednesday! Here's looking for the weekend already! But I wanted to share this little gift that I made for a group of scrappy girlfriends of mine a while ago. We try to get together and scrap when we can and there was one Saturday that I could not make it. So I decided to doorbell ditch them (nice way to introduce my kids to the dark side) with a bag full of goodies and a cheap bottle of wine. They don't like the expensive stuff, hee hee!! So I dressed up a plain kraft colored bag, make a wine gift tag and put it all together!


Let me explain. We call ourselves the WestSide Tote Bag Gang because we all have the exact same scrapping tote. And since we are so ghetto, we shortened the name to just Westside. And we all think it's REALLY funny and like to throw gang signs when passing each other in the school pick-up line and at the grocery store. The skull stamp from Pink Paislee was just perfect for this, how cute is that little bow???? My kids and I had alot of fun leaving this on the doorstep, ringing the doorbell, and then running. Until I tripped on the sprinklers and almost took my kids down with me. And then we sorta got caught by the neighbors, but that's a whole other story.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you're having a great week so far!!
