A little birdy told me

that the uber-fabulous, paper designing, super cool sense of humor, Germany's very own Daniela is celebrating her birthday today. So... sending you birthday wishes from the other end of the country and in honor of your special day, a repost of a LO I did with paper from Series 4 (?)



Have a good one.

Rain, rain, go away....

because I am down right getting depressed. It's been raining, no, who am I kidding, it's been Noah, where's your boat kind of raining, streets flooded, manhole covers floating kind of rain. And when I am depressed, I can't scrap. And when I can't scrap I get crabby. And when I get crabby...well, I can still shoe shop, but that's another issue altogether. But, speaking of shoe shopping, I did get some new shoes. Wanna see?





I am not usually the loafer wearing kind of girl, but well... I do own two pairs and they are both so darn old and in such a sorry state (my pony fur ones look like a horse with a skin condition... no fur left), I had to get something for running around in when the weather is sure to ruin any heels. LIKE RIGHT NOW!!!

And then, my fabulous, shoe shopping, MIL sent me these cuties:


She also wrote to tell me that she bought some cherry red high heel sandals. Mmmhhhh, what could that be? I am not the most patient girl and mail's been taking forever from the US lately, so I had to browse the usual shoe sites to get my fix of cherry red high heel sandals. How about these?












































And just because I am feeling sassy, how about these? Definitely not meant to be worn in the rain.... unless it's some cheap movie, I suppose.











Last but not least, my favorites of this bunch... super cute Betsey Johnson.

Who knew there were so many cherry red high heeled sandals? And these are just a little nibble of what i.e. Zappo's has listed. Makes me feel all happy inside.

Anyway, it looks like the weather might be clearing up a bit here. Is there actually a bit of blue sky visible? I will have to take the opportunity and hang some laundry out to dry. Miss having a dryer.

Have a good one.

Pencillines Sketch

Well... I submitted this LO for the Pencillines DT Call. Didn't work out but I still love this LO. Love the Upsy Daisy PP, love the pictures, love the sketch.



And now for my German readers.... nochmal zur Erinnerung, das ScrapWochenende in Hamburg am 29. und 30. September. Workshops, scrappen, und shoppen bis zum Umfallen. Anmelden könnt Ihr Euch hier.



Ausserdem gibt es noch fantastische Überraschung: Neben unserem Hauptsponsor Scrapbook-King konnten wir auch Rouge De Garance als Sponsor gewinnen. Ich LIEBE die RdG Papiere und habe sie schon viel verwendet. Also, meldet Euch an zu den Workshops. Wir freuen uns auf Euch.

Round 2 Stylin' Idol

It's time to vote again. If you would head on over to ScrapbookLifeStyle and vote for my LO, I would greatly appreciate it.

The LO is this one:

Thanks a bunch.
Have a good one.

Kit love

So, after 2 wonderful years of waiting anxiously for my PaperPosies Kit to arrive in the mail, I finally cancelled my subscription. Not that I didn't like the kits anymore, I just felt it was time for a change. Of course... I was fine for a month and then the following month Anna posted an absolutely fabulous, super cool kit. But, I remained strong. Well, sort of. Off I went and found myself another kit. This one is called SweetPeaScraps and I just received my first two (last month's kit and the current one) this morning. I was getting a bit worried there. The package had been mailed on May 30!!!! But the super sweet Kristin at SweetPeaScraps already offered to send out a replacement package should the original package not arrive. So, no worries, my package arrived finally and I couldn't wait to dig in. Love, love, love these kits.

Trouble#2 stayed home today because she had an ear ache. She had kept me up half the night, so after dropping Trouble#1 off at school, we went to the doctor. Gotta love a doctor where you show up and tell him you have a sick child and he tells you to sit down and you actually only have to wait 10 minutes. Well, maybe it isn't so much loving the doctor but the ladies who run his calendar.
Anyway, Trouble#2 has a slight ear infection, she is getting antibiotics and some pain killers and wasn't supposed to play rough today. So I kept her home from Kindi. I put her on the couch in front of the TV. She was happy. I was happy (since I didn't have to go to school myself either). Yeah, bad me, I know. But, with her watching TV, I got a bit of scrapping done.

The first LO is entirely out of the SweetPeaScraps May kit and both LOs are for the 1 in 48 class at NYCScraps, which is really a super cool class. I am always leary of online classes, but Hillary is doing a fabulous job.




Off to scrap some more.
Have a good one.

New format

You might have noticed, this die hard 12x12 scrapper's been venturing out into other formats. And it is getting to be more often. And I am actually doing not just AAM LOs. And I am enjoying it. Oye!

Here's the latest crop of LOs.





A couple of things I'd like to point out.... that super cute "monkey business" stamp by Catslife Press. I just love their stamps. I also used the Heidi Swapp "Today" stamp. And lastly, I love all the little skulls and such lately. And considering I call my kids Trouble #1 and #2... they are perfect.

Have a good one.

I confess....

I have a thing for "boy bands". But not when they first come out and everyone thinks they are all that, but when they actually show that they have talent and stick around a while and grow up.

For a class I am taking at NYC Scraps, I made this LO a couple of days ago. Lots of fun. The class, BTW, is called One-in-48 Computer Techniques Challenge Class. It's super cool, since it gets me going and scrapping, at least one LO every 48 hours.



Have a good one.
