Swaps :)

With the lack of mojo lately I fell way behind on my swaps. I've spent the last few days frantically trying to catch up. Here are just a few of the things I've been doing...

I made 10 of these cards using scalloped edge and summer theme:

Recipe cards. These are actually from 2 swaps ago, LOL, and I thought they were shipped off long ago. In a way I'm glad, as I didn't think to take a pic before packaging them up ;) They are repackaged and definately shipped out this time!! I'm still behind on this swap :(
Another 10 cards, following a sketch provided by Sherri over on The Crafty Scrapper site. I'm actually way ahead of schedule with these cards (for a change!!)
And this is one of the ATC's I did for last month's swap. They finally got shipped out :)

All I have left to do now is 2 more rounds of recipe cards, and this month's ATC's.... then I just might get to finish the books from Donna Downey and Lance Andersons classes!!

Something to listen to....

An update....

so I've been totally neglecting my blog. I have been doing some creating, not a lot though. My mojo upped and left without me. Here are a couple of things I've been working on... even if it's taking 100 times longer than it should :S
Not great pics by any means, I know!!!

Anyhoooo, so now y'all know I'm alive and I'm still doing a bit. I have 3 albums in the making and another 2 planned. I also have one planned for myself, using the wonderful MME papers Dee Dee sent me.

Stop... take a breath!!

That's what I have to remind myself to do lately! I committed to so much and then fell so behind that I've had to really get down to it. This is what I have done over the 2 past weeks or so...

1. Recipe cards - done and shipped ... and forgot to take a picture :'(
2. 10 Swap Cards - done and shipped .. got pic ;)
3. 8 ATC's - done, but not shipped yet.
4. Card for newborn twins
5. DLO for a class - went really well and they all loved it :)

I am currently trying to finish off 2 mini books that have been sitting in a drawer for weeks!!

So here are a few pics of some of the above projects....

The Class Layout

Swap Cards

A little peek at my ATC

I also set myself a challenge one night, when hubby got a fire call. You know the freebie papers that come in magazines? .. well I had some and decided that I had to use them up before he got home, so I got 4 cards made. I still think they are awful, LOL!!

A million and one!

That's how many 1/2 finished projects I've got.... OK, so maybe that's an exaggeration but I've got 1/2 my swap cards done, 1/2 my ATC's done, two albums 1/2 done.. and a class layout 1/2 done! oh, I've even got 7 bday cards 1/2 done :(

I need to make time to sit and finish them all off, starting with the DLO for tomorrows class. Again, the nerves are setting in.... wish me luck, will ya?! I'm really looking forward to the crop tomorrow :) A whole afternoon away, with no kiddos!!! woooo hoooo!! Maybe I should use all those lovely hours to complete some of my 1/2 finished projects ;)

Boy oh Boy!!

I got into real scrapping mode last Sunday and decided to use the Papermania papers I had on starting a 'Boy' paperbag album. Mojo appeared out of nowhere and I completed it on Monday. Not sure whether to keep it or list in on Etsy...

So here are just a few pics of it:

The front cover

Love the robot papers :)

Journalling tag

Extra tags for more photos or journalling.

I really, really enjoyed making this one and I love the blues and browns in the papers. This is the first time I used rub-ons throughout an album and I can't believe how much they add to the pages. Time to invest in some more ;)

National Scrapbooking Day..

Apparently it's National Scrapbooking day in the States today. .. not here though (major sulk!) However, I did have a bit of a mini crop myself last night. I did 5 layouts (of course none of which are totally finished, journalling is my downfall) I did 2 layouts from the Pink Paislee 'Spring Fling' kit from Annamaries store and 3 layouts using the BG Sugared papers (2 of which are for a class this month, so no previews.. lol!!.

So here are the 3 layouts I did for the li'l princess's album.. I will add journalling to them.. I have the most wonderful journalling stamps, which are crying out to be used.
