My Make n'Take for this months Close To My Heart Gathering

A fellow card maker made this when she went to a convention and thought it would be great to show my Close to my Heart ladies. So this is my project for them to do this month !!! This can be used for a money gift or to put a gift card in, you can even put a small gift in it. Thought it turned out cute !!

Scrapbookers Creed

Found this and had to share it. I am working on a sign for my scrapbook room and will share it when I get it finished.

Update on new Scraproom

I have put all the furniture type stuff that will fit in my room and now I just have to go thru all the bags and boxes that are left in old scraproom and get all the stuff organized so it can go in the new room. I just don't know if I will be able to get it all in !!!! LOL Wish me luck. I will put up final pictures when I get it done.

Old McMahon Had A farm...............

E.....I.....E....I......O !!! I finished my two page layout of my grandson. Boy is he a cutie or what ???

It is so much fun doing scrapbook pages of him and his aunt Dani takes such good pictures !

Progress on scraproom !!!!!

Yeah.............my handyman showed up today and the shelves are being moved over to the new scraproom (plus a few more added). I will be able to move some more stuff over tonight and then will take some more updated pictures. I still have my doubts on getting all the stuff into the smaller room. It is hard for me to make things fit when I am giving up two rooms in my house.....these kids better realize what a great person their mother/mother-in-law is !!!!!! LOL ! I only have about 3 days left of my visit with my grandbaby and then I really have to get to work on getting everything finished up for the move in November.

Full House !!!

My daughters and grandson are here............not used to such a full and noisey house. We have been doing alot of running around and fussing over who is on the computer.... LOL! Danielle goes home this afternoon and she still want to take some more pictures of Kyle. She has taken some fantastic shots so far.....here is one of my favorites.

Also this afternoon is gonna be a clean-up day. Have to get ready for the girls coming over tomorrow for scrapping. I also have to get stuff ready for a Close To My Heart gathering on Sunday and try to get alittle more work done on scraproom. There is still alot of stuff in the old scraproom (aka Kyle's new room) and I only have one more month to get things finished up. Busy....busy....busy !

Beginning of my new scraproom !!!

Okay,I have started moving stuff in and it is " LOOKIN GOOD !!!! I have come to a halt for awhile cuz my daughter Danielle arrived for a visit Friday. It is a good start and I will keep doing alittle at a time. Here are some pictures. This first one is when you walk into the room (on the far wall).

There will be two shelves on the walls above each shelf and then I have two shelves that go over the desk. This second picture is the wall to the left where the windows of the room are.

This third picture is the wall on the end of the room where the entrance door is.

This last picture is the wall on the right side of room.

As you can see, there is empty spots and I do have stuff that goes there just will take me alittle more time to get things finished up. My daughter Carey and my grandson Kyle will be here on Monday so have to go get their room ready for them.

I am a busy little bee................

I have so much going on right now, moving my scraproom into what use to be my computer room/office - which by the way is a challenge since the room is smaller than my old scraproom !!!! It is worth it because my grandson (and daughter and son-in-law) are moving in with us. I still am being crafty and I have gone bonkers on the September new releases from Gecko Galz. You guys should be on pins and needles because the stuff it fantastic !!!!! I have made 10 cards so far...lol - a little overboard but I could not just do one. Just alittle hint on what I have made " The cards are Boo-tiful" ! I have had most of three rooms all out in the den, my bedroom and bathroom so carpets could be cleaned and I am now getting stuff put back together. here's hoping I get it all done before the kids move here !

Let's Use Up Scraps............

I found this card idea on Pinterest and thought "what a great way to use up scraps" and then I got the idea of using this technique for my Christmas cards.......especially since I was going on a Crop Til You Drop day. Figured that way I wouldn't have to take tons of stuff, although only got one of the cards done - but if you read the post before this one I go into that !!! LOL I love the way this card turned out and hope it helps you other cardmakers use up your scraps !! Here is the card :

Crop Til You Drop

Yesterday was alot of fun, we went to a crop for CTMH in Seguin. Met some new ladies, did a couple make n takes and got some cards made. I went there planning on getting my Christmas cards done but didn't get to many of them done. I finished up 8 of them that I was making from a card kit I got, worked on my August Gecko Galz Design Team samples (which are almost finished - just need to add some ribbon on bling) even got my September samples worked on except for ribbon and bling. I did get one other Christmas card done, so it was a good day of cropping for me. A total of 15 cards !!! This was a nice crop and will have to do it again.

My Ribbon Rack

So thrilled, we found this ribbon rack on Pinterest that goes on the back of a door and my friend Norma got her hubby to make one for us....... Danny did such a great job. I have gotten it pretty much filled ( to bad my scraproom only has one door...lol ) !!!! I just love it !!

New Cards................

I took a class at Stamp Antonio taught by Gecko Galz and had to make a couple cards using the water color technique using reinkers. The papers I used as backround are from Close To My Heart.....since I am a Close To My Heart consultant. Really love how they turned out.

My Altered Composition book for a challenge on Gecko Galz

My lil grandson is quite the traveler and I thought I would make him his own book of Travels. He has made a road trip up to Kingsburg, CA three times, flown to Texas to see his Grammie (me) two times and another road trip to Arizona just a couple weeks ago. He will be taking another long road trip in November which will be his move to Texas.which I am so.....excited about. With this challenge coming up I figured it would be great to make "Kyle's Travels" something that we will keep up so he will have his own book.

Found this cute sign......

and had to share it !!!!!

Fun Card Challenge...............

I just made the kewlest card for a challenge over at Tallyscrapper.com ! Anyone wanting to make a strange kinda friend card.....go on over and join in on the challenge in the card gallery !! Here is my submission :

Gecko Galz / July Sample

Had fun doing this card - I had to make a birthday card for my sister in law and since she is a card maker also, I like to do something different. I used the "B is for Banners" and some baker's twine. I was happy with it and hope you guys like it too !!!!

Gecko Galz / June Sample

Okay I was so excited about July Products that I got busy working on a two page layout and then figured I should get my June sample finished up first.....lol !!!! So here it is. June is my Daughter Dani's birthday and she is a frog fanatic so made this card for her !

Gwyn's Letters

Here is the letters I made for my friends daughter. I am entering them in a challeange over at ThePaperVariety.blogspot.com Now I just have to finish the ones for her son and the ones for my grandson.
