inspiration

What inspires you to create? I love looking at others lo, cd covers,record covers or art. I love blogs that inspire( not just scrappy ones) or challenge me. I have been on a blog binge. I eat sleep and dream of blogs. I love reading about other peoples adventures and love to see what they have created. I can't seem to get enough. I love love blogs.. what can I say. It all started when I found a few cool ones and now I am on a hunt to find more. If you have some cool blogs that you have found or maybe its your own please leave me a link. I am always in a hunt for new ones. :)


Please check out Pink Sketches and So sketchy for some inspiration --they have some pretty cool sketches up right now. I know sometimes I need a jump start so I might start off with a sketch. Sketches were never even in my life until Jami told me about them a little over 2 years ago.

back from my trip

just a lo I did. Pictures of Wyatt at the county fair two years ago.
just a lo I did with Wyatt and his little frog and yes he named him Mash Potatoes have no clue why. I think its pretty cute though.
this is for my challenge using glitter or sparkle somewhere on your lo. Picture of my little Wyatt at the skate park.
Jami's challenge using three ribbons and the color purple--Picture of Chloe a little girl I use to watch.

Patti's challenge from the sketch---I love this picture of my mom from 1981--love the shirt she is wearing and she looks so pretty.


Some of you know we went up home to see family. Wednesday we went to the drive in to see G Force and Harry Potter. I would recommend going to see Harry Potter. G force was cute but not a must see.

We did a lot of school shopping and we did an awesome job on sales and deals. Went to one of my fave store Gabe's. My dd bought two pair of Harajuku Lovers shoes from Journeys ---I have to say they were both on clearance snagged both pair for a 32.00 and some odd change. Now that is what I call an awesome deal. She gave me one of the boxes and the tissue paper because she knows I will use it and I really am jealous they did not have my size.

Before we left on Wednesday I was to add my latest lo but I did not have time. We did more challenges the night before I left. Jami's challenge was to use purple and three different pieces of ribbon. Patti's was a sketch from ---I can't think of the name of the blog. Mine was to use something sparkley or glitter on the page.

Yesterday I was on the Pink Ninja's blog and I can't wait to do their new challenge. I have some older pics of the boys with Star Wars toys and costumes. Only if I had a pic of my Star Trek Barbie and Ken. If you need a challenge and you are a fan of Star Wars or Star Trek check out the Pink Ninja's blog. I know I am itching to scrap tomorrow. Have a great night !! I am out to check my fave blogs and get some inspiration.

I was a scrapping fool yesterday

just a simple one of my dh with his second love here is a lo I did of a picture of me doing crafts with my cousin. I am not 100% sure if I love this.
my challenge chipboard and pink
Jami's challenge monochromatic--love how this turned out.
Just a lo I did using my new thickers!!! i love Syd's pic even though she hates it.
multi photos for Patti's challenge


I have the whole week off so I decided to scrap the day away yesterday. I did do other stuff around the house but boy did I get some scrapping done. I did all the challenges that we came up with and then some extras.

My friend Patti sent me a package yesterday. I have to say I was taken back because I would have never thought what it could have been. I received 11 packs of thickers!! I had a lo on my desk waiting for the title so I ripped open one of those bad boys. I have to say --they have come along way since the first time I bought them. The letters actually stayed on the paper they came on.

I have challenged myself to use what I have until my dh gets called back to work. I think so far so good. Have a great day!!

new challenges we started

last night are-----Patti's multi photos( HOW MANY IS UP TO YOU).

Jami's monochromatic ( ok I am at a loss here--I have seen los done like this but I love color).

mine----You have to use at least 2 more chipboard pieces ( can not be letters) and there has to be pink on your lo.

I started on Patti's but my back started hurting sitting at my desk too long. I have been working on ATC's too. I have three swaps in the works. :) It is really weird because I have never done them and I am already addicted.

Most of my friends know I love to collect things( normal people would throw away) for scrapping. While sitting here at my desk I came up with a killer idea( I just hope I have not taken this from anyone but I can't remember seeing it on any lo or card.) . Well I love the bag you get from oranges. This time around instead of using it as is--I smeared Elmer's glue on it and then sprinkled glitter on it---it is to die for. Shiny, glittery, sparkling oh so cute just perfect for my idea!!! I am in love ---:). All this from something that people just throw away. I will post pics later to show you---you will think why didn't I think of that? or I thought of that.

I gave you some challenges and I gave you an awesome idea to use what are you waiting for get busy create!!!
