The Scrap Spot

Time to clean out the scrap space

and that means a good deal for anyone looking for a ton of supplies CHEAP!!!  I broke down the other day and pulled out some of my bins left from when I used to own the kit club/store and started to purge.  I put together some great lots and listed them on ebay.  It's hard to part with all this stuff.  I never actually be able to go through it all, but for some reason getting rid of it makes me feel anxious!! lol!! :)  I'm trying not to be a pack rat!! :) 

Anyhoo...the first lot is up and it's like $150 worth of stuff that I've listed for 19.99

Listing for Embellishment Lot

I've also put up some hard to find paper packs from basic grey...lollipop shoppe, vagabond, sweetpea jack , and blitzen...all for 7 bucks. 

there are a couple of crate paper cowboy packs,  making memories kraft packs, and past Coordinates Collections kits too. 

I'll be adding more things over the next few days too, so if you're in the market for some products at a real deal check them out!!  Everything is brand new and still in it's original packaging of course!

Have a great day!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Oh.....I have been waiting for this time of year!!!  It just makes me want to create, create, create!!  Too bad I never have enough time to do it. :)  I've been busy with picture appointments taking Holiday card pictures for every family in OC except for my own! lol!!  That is on my list of things to do this week. :)

I'm totally into projects lately.  I have NO mojo for pages, but I just want to make mini books and decor and such.  Do you ever get like that??  I started some Christmas 5x7 cards/album pages the other day and I'm loving them!  I mixed some of the MME Christmas papers with the new MM Noteworthy papers.  They aren't totally done yet, but you get the idea! :) 

Each 5x7 piece is just a thick chipboard page covered in paper and all kinds of goodies.  (they are all double sided too)  Perfect for just setting out with a few pictures of christmases past. :)  stick them all together with a binder ring and you have and instant album...tie them all together with a thick, wired ribbon and put them out on your table like a beautiful handmade gift.  Too fun!

Have a great day!!

You have GOT to see this!!!

OH my goodness!!  I just got the mail today and look what was in it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, you all know that I am partial to a black/red/creme combination :)  but I think this is going to send me over the edge!!!!

Is that not GORGEOUS????!!!!

I have LOVED this company since I first saw them at CHA a few years back.  I just think that Miriam, the owner, does AMAZING work. 

The accessories that go with the line...YUMMY!!

If you haven't worked with any of the stuff from Collage Press before you will LOVE it!!  It can be kind of hard to find.  I was thinking of doing a limited edition kit with this new stuff.  If you're interested in getting one leave a comment here and I'll let you know when they're available. :)

Now available....

Ok, so I know it's not quite Thanksgiving yet....but the stores have their Christmas stuff out and I hear Christmas songs playing all the time so I don't feel TOO guilty!! :)  lol!!

This FUN 16 page 7x7 Be Merry Class is now available!!! :)  This is a FANTASTIC deal!!!  For only $28 you get ALL of the supplies and the video instruction.   You can find it HERE.  If you haven't ever used one of these albums before the class is worth taking just to learn about them.  They are super fun double paged albums from 7 gypsies.  I have to admit when I first saw the thing I thought "what in the heck do you do with this?????" then I played around and OH MY GOODNESS!!!!  Tons of fun!! It will give you ideas of thigs to make for any occassion. 

We're using the adorable Cosmo Cricket "Be Good" Christmas line...(it is SO cute!!!)  and a bunch of other fun goodies.  This is an INTERNET only class.  I will NOT be teaching it in the store.  We've already had several orders come through and the video isn't even up yet.  They are in limited supply so get it now and get it done before December even hits!! :)  It makes a great gift or a fun keepsake for your own families holiday memories. 

Have a GREAT day!!

We're such Californians!!!

Sorry for the long lapse with no posts!!!  We decided to take a "real" vacation this week and that meant no computers.  I thought I would surely shrivel up and die, lol!, but it was actually really nice to get away and litterally have NOTHING to do.  We spent the week up in Park City.   We were hoping for a little snow and, well, that's exactly what we got...very LITTLE snow!! :)  It had snowed a week or so before we got there and fortunately we were up high enough that we were able to find spots in the shade.  So, like most good californians we pulled off the side of the road where there was a little patch of dirty icy snow and let the kids have some fun.  Seriously...luckily no one drove by otherwise they would have totally thought we were nuts.  :)  Andy wanted to make a snowball so badly that after I broke through the ice on top for him (since he wasn't heavy enough to make a dent in it if that tells you just how hard the "snow" was, lol)  he managed to clump together a few pieces for one good throw.  (Of course I was his target)  As the "snowball" grazed my hand it CUT me!!! lol!!!  Yep you read that right...made me bleed!!  Too Funny!!!  I guess we'll have to take them some other time when they can actually see what real snow is like, but for the time being they were thrilled and didn't know the difference.  :)

All Ash seemed to want to do was eat it. YUM!  :)

The best part of the week?  Getting to dress ash up in all her cold weather gear.  I LOVE sweaters.  What a cute little eskimo!

Have a great day!
