a little sneakpeak

Ok.. so I couldn't hold myself back and I ended up finishing the candle box, that gave me the eye splinter... I just LOVE how it came out! It's gonna be a day workshop in the new year, since we're booked up for this year. Looking foreward to it already though!

Thanks for looking!

a dangerous hobby

Nothing to share today...picturewise or scrapwise... I was working on a new workshop yesterday when I rubbed a splinter in my eye... That hurts!!!! It sure loved my eye because it didn't want to come out!!
The neighbour was kind enough to drive me to the docter. She told me not to be scared but (!@#!*) she was going to turn my eyelid inside out! Yikes, forget the eye, I nearly suffered a heart attaque right there..

It wasn't that bad and she sedaded (is that the word?) my eye which felt really good! I spend the night in a darkroom with my eye closed!

Now I can see but the eye is still very irritated (so is the rest of my personality)

Earlier this week I put a crafters knife in my finger... They say bad things come in three, so I'm wondering what the third scrapping injury will be.... Please let it be a papercut! (lol)

Is anyone going to listen to my story

I was blog-hopping the other day (I always love the places I end up) when I found a new challenge blog called scrapping across the universe (see my link list) they have a wonderful challenge up that seemed to fit a picture of Max perfectly.

Max always has a story to tell... He wakes up in the morning talking and he even talks himself to sleep at night...

The pp is Basic Grey, scribble scrabble, rub ons are basic grey, the lower letters are by Thickers, the other ones are storebrand, the butterfly is heidi swapp.

a card..

I made this card with the left-overs from my last lay out.

I've been so bussy with non-scrapbooking stuff the last week, so the card was a welcome project. I'm not really a card maker, but the papers were perfect for a card.




I've been teaching quite a few workshops for scrapangels and we've got a big one comming up, so we're bussy preparing for those aswell! My scraproom looks like a warehouse.. workshop packages everywhere.. I think I have well over a hundred workshop packages in my scraproom... Yikes! We haven't even started on the christmas workshop yet.... (got a little time before then...lol)

Here's my take..



The design paper is by Jenni Bowlin, grungeboard swirl by Tim Holz.

I usually don't get to play with pink and purple lay outs. That's what I get for having three boys! Luckily I have a few nieces that I can "borrow". When I saw this beautiful Basic grey paper I just had to get it!

The chipboard border was made with the cuttlebug, the clock is Heidi Swapp, copper stickles and the paper is by Basic Grey (eva)

Thanls for looking!

so this is christmas....

Ok.. so the temperature today has been pretty wonderful here, sunshine all day long! Great weather to concentrate on a christmas workshop!!!!

My friend Anne and I had a pretty good idea of what we were going to make and we are just thrilled with the outcome! Little bits and pieces will still be added, so we won't give it all away!

We're teaching this workshop in a huge workshoproom, all day long! We've done these big workshops there before and it's always so much fun. If you would like to register for this workshop just hope on over to our scrapangels site and send us an email.

Thanks for looking!

Sweet @ 6

I've been completely caught up in preparing workshop packages! At the moment I think I have about a hundred ready to go.. and still more to do! It's all fun though. I hurt my back in the beginning of the week while walking with my grandmother who's in a wheelchair. Sidewalks are much higher than you would think! It's staring to feel a little better now, so I'm hopeful!
Eventhough I'm up to my ears in our Christmas workshop I have a lay out to share.

My oldest son (6) refuses to look normal in a picture. I've now started to bribe him, to smile normal just for a few shots. Too bad for him he had to be born in a scrappy family!
This shot was taken in the beginning of summer and I've used it before, but I love that missing tooth smile!

I was inspired by Tracey's lay out (RUNNING WITH SCISSORS) and used a die cut paper I had to make a new one that fitted my pages.
The paper is SEI, loads of Ranger distress ink and check out the gorgeous pin I found!

Thanks for looking and have a fabulous weekend!
