An SEI Giveaway

The SEI blog is having a giveaway for their 100th post. SEI has been a favorite company of mine FOREVER! Last year at Christmas I bought at least 3 sheets of their entire Christmas line. I love it!

A Spending Challenge

I am challenging myself to not spend any money on scrapbooking supplies until the weekend of September 18th. I can only buy adhesives, order pictures and sign up for ScrapFest (which starts September 18th).

Lately I have been doing a lot of buying and not much scrapping. So my goal between now and September 18th is to create 50 layouts out of the supplies I currently have. This may have to be adjusted if I have to have hip surgery, but I REALLY want to get back into my scrap area and do more creating.

This last weekend I made 20 layouts. It felt SO good. Now if I can continue to find time to create more layouts. I do have a cross stitch that is high priority right now, but sometimes you need a break. :)

ScrapFest 2009

I L-O-V-E ScrapFest at the Mall of America. This year's website is up here: ScrapFest. I go every year with my mom and we have SO much fun.

A Simple Anniversary Card

This is another card I made for my uncle for Christmas. I made it to be an anniversary card, but it could be used for other things.

Supplies: White cardstock by Archivers, all other paper SEI, markers are American Crafts. Can't remember the stamp set and I am currently unable to get into my scrap area, so I'll update that when I can check into it.

Finally...

I have been WAY out of commission over the last couple of months. At first it was complications for my daughter and her surgery and since then I've been having major issues with my hip and pelvis. Hopefully I'll get to update more frequently, because I HAVE been scrapping. Here is a monogrammed card I made for my uncle as part of a package of cards that I gave him for Christmas.

I used a packet of paper left over from a Scrap Mania at Archiver's and a plain chipboard letter painted red with Making Memorie's paints.

I hope you are having a FABULOUS National Scrapbooking Day and I hope to add more things as I'm able to. Have to take pictures first. :)
