<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Just a typical week in my life, busy with work and day-to-day
errands. Saturday started off a relaxing weekend. I worked on
completing week one of project life and continued with my scanning project of
childhood photos. I am about half way through album 2 of 4. On
Saturday night, my mother, sister and I had tickets to a ballet documentary
"First Position". The movie followed 6 young ballet dancers on
their journey toward the finals in the Youth American Grand Prix. What a
wonderful movie and an eye-opening look into these young lives. Sunday was
quite typical, 11:30 Mass followed by lunch with the family (Dad grilled
steaks) and then a little shopping at Tj Maxx and Marshalls. It has
become Sunday ritual! Monday started off a busy work week due to last
week's roll out of the new system, but I managed to squeeze in a few fun
things. The adorable Amy Tan was able to save me a kit from her most
recent class. It came on on Monday and I got started creating right
away. The company kids did a showoff for family and friends of all the
dances competing at nationals on Tuesday night. WOW! Our kids are gonna
kick some butt! Nationals will fall right into Week #4 of project life
and I can't wait to spend 6 days with my girls in Orlando at Tremaine.
Wednesday was a "work from home day". I always manage to get a
lot more done on these days when the phone isn't ringing off the hook or people
are stopping by my desk. I even managed to get a little online shopping
in. The 27th was Studio Calico's reveal for their July Kit "Elmwood
Park". Reveals make me so nervous! I usually spend a couple of
days before digging through the message boards trying to decide what I am going
to buy and stay within a "scrap" budget. Everything goes so
quick on reveal day. The plan was to pick up two add-ons ("Twisty
Slide" and "Four Square") along with more color and more
patterned paper this month. I managed to get both add-ons into my
cart but somehow had two of "twisty slide". Well there is no
way to change the quantity and i had to delete both from my cart and tried to
re-add just the one but it was sold out. Good news, stayed up till 11 PM
and managed to snatch "twisty slide". I was able to get more
color but not more patterned paper. I went with 3 kits (main + 2 add-ons)
because i loved the color combinations and last months kit is practically
"killed" with 3 completed layouts and week #1 of PL. SC
released, for the first time, digital elements to go with the July Kits.
Being a silhouette owner myself, I picked up 5 cutting files along with a
printable of journaling cards and shapes. Oh SC, you never fail to
impress, I now have more elements for PL! My order also
included Mistery Huey's Sunshine Mist and more color from the Take Note
and Abroad collection which were part of Last Call. To top off my
Wednesday, my package from "Swap Your Stash" arrived. On SC's
Forums, I joined in on Caz's "Sway your stash" were she pairs you
with another member and you send a package stash items. I was match with
Maria from AZ who likes teal, yellow, white and kraft. She sent me a
packaged filled with pink, Amy tangerine, and project life elements. Oh i
was so excited to see those PL pages and blank journal cards! Although Thursday
was filled with work projects, I did manage to squeeze in time for my
submission to American Crafts Design Team. This is #29 on my "30
things in Year 30". I have applied twice before and am hoping this is my
year. Friday rounded out the work week with a half day followed by some grocery
shopping at target and house cleaning. All in all a typical busy week,
just the way i like it!</span><span style="font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

I started on Saturday June 16th, my 30 birthday. <a href="http://moleskineadventures.blogspot.com/2012/06/flirty-30.html">Here</a> is the complete post. on the b-day celebrations. So on to project life. I completed three pages for week one. Supplies used where mainly all from Studio Calico's June Kit - <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/so-cal">So Cal</a> along with a few random extras from my stash. Along with my birthday celebration, the week was filled with shopping trips to prepare for florida, my grandmother's 82nd birthday and major system roll-out at work. <br />

My birthday celebrations kicked off a week early with the June birthday luncheon at work. The whole department gets together once a month and celebrates all those with birthdays. For June we went to one of my favorite places, La Carreta. I got my usual, "Flaunta Special" and spent a wonderful two hours chatting with co-workers. Once back at work, we celebrated with cake. Love me some strawberry cake!</div>
<br />
After a long week at work and teaching summer dance classes, it was good to have a half day on friday. I enjoyed an afternoon of scrapbooking! Way too many layouts to post here, but i do post all in Studio Calico's member gallery: http://www.studiocalico.com/users/agtsnowflake. Also have a new addition to the scrap room. I like to enjoy my layouts before i file them in their permanent Photo Freedom albums. I hung a basic drapery rod on the wall and using binder rings and page protectors turned sideways, I can display 5 at a time.<br />

Saturday's celebration kicked off with a FORMAL lunch with the family.My mother and sister cooked all morning. On the menu was Crab-topped catfish, butter potatoes, green bean casserole and Jungle Juice. To stay with the healthy theme, instead of a traditional birthday cake, I was given an Edible Arrangement filled with fruit. Best Birthday Cake Ever!<br />

It usually takes me the entire summer, up until the start of the next season to complete. With the introduction of Smash books, we decided to "smash" the season as it went along. On the ride to and from, we smash a little and then each night if we have time. We are using the "Pretty Pink" folio.<br />

Since I was able to get my black friday shopping done online and on thanksgiving day, that left my black friday free for decorating. The weather here in south louisiana didn't lend a helping hand. It rained all weekend so i focused on the inside.....<br />
<br />
Let's start with the tree....<br />
<br />
For many years now, family and friends have asked the process i use to decorate my tree, so here we go.<br />
<br />
<ul><li>my tree comes in three pieces. i fluff as i go and always arrange the top design before placing the last piece of the tree</li>
<li>using a large roll of ribbon( purchased at hobby lobby, the 100 feet rolls) in gold, i loosley wrap around the tree starting at the top. Ribbon is tucked in the braches. This is mainly as a filler.</li>
</ul><br />

</ul>thoughts for next year's tree.....<br />
<br />
this is my first time christmas decorating in the new house. I basically went with what was done in the last house with a few changes. I would like to add a revolving tree stand next year. Along with something new to the top of the tree. Also i need to rember to move the rug before setting up the tree.<br />
<br />
now on to the rest of the house.....<br />
<br />
I do not have a mantel/fireplace, so i always decorate the top of the tv armoire. The presents are empty boxes wrapped in kraft paper. The nutcrackers were purchased from walmart a couple of years ago. The gold sconces are from hobby lobby last year. The red trees are actually a christmas card holder. The reindeer are older than I am and use to reside over the fireplace in my parents house, but since have been handed down to me.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I picked up two dickens village houses at a trash to treasure sale a few years ago and have added pieces from walmart's classic village collection each year.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As a young child, I always admired my aunt's extensive Fontanini collection and was given a starter kit the first christmas when i moved out. My collection has grown since then. My grandmother gives me a few pieces each christmas and I have found others on sale. In the old house it filled a round decorator table but now it resides on the shelves a my new chinese cabinet. I hope to add many more to this collection.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As i mentioned above, it rained almost the whole weekend so i did not manage to decorate the outside. I plan to do that this weekend, weather permitting. I did start on some of the outdoor decor that is staged in the house. I have seen the large ornaments hung in store window display a many of times and always wanted to do it on a smaller scale at my house. The windows in the old house did not lend well to this but in the new house they do. Simply using numerous types of ribbon and shatter proof ornaments, hang in different lengths from the inside of the windows. I also added some lighted garland wrapped in white mesh ribbon. i only got one window done but will be completing the second on with the rest of the outdoor decor this weekend.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Post <a href="http://moleskineadventures.blogspot.com/2010/10/bpc-classeshalloween-decorations.html">here</a> with last year's decor and party. The new tradition continues this year even though I have moved. The new house, still in avenues, has bigger enteraining area plus it more appealing for those cute trick-or-treaters (Im located on the main blvd). Knowing this would be, I have been working on decor since the beginning of September. Mostly everything is handmade with a few bought items added in. Most of my inspiration have come from pictures collected on pinterest or ads out of magazines like pottery barn. Here we go:<br />
<br />
Let's start withe of the house......<br />
<br />
The SPOOKY letters and candy corn garland are from last year with added pumpkins and sign purchased from TJ Maxx (last year)<br />

Gotta give credit to "<a href="http://www.crapivemade.com/2011/09/spider-web-plate.html">Crap I've Made</a>" for the idea. I used a white plate from dollar tree, black puff paint and a spider ring leftover from last years goodie stash.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

All the pumpkins are fake craft ones from either Micheals or Dollar Tree (small orange and glittered brown). I simply wrote my initials and bats on the white ones with a sharpie. The black poka dot was done by using garage sale stickers and painting the pumpkin black with acrylic craft paint. Glittered pumpkin were done with Krylon's new glitter spray paint and dollar tree pumpkins. Scarecrows were purchased from walmart two years ago.<br />

Ah yes with the direct landfall of Tropical Storm Lee on Louisiana threatening my long holiday weekend, I decided to make the best of it....<br />
<br />
** warning - posts is pretty photo heavy and long because i got a lot done! **<br />
<br />
Although Friday wasn't my normal half day (for being on call) at work, AG decided to let us all leave at noon to start tour holiday weekends. Love when work does this..... Around 10 am we got the weather update that the weather disturbance out in the gulf was officially a Tropical Depression and would be Tropical Storm Lee before it made landfall on Louisiana sometime Sunday morning. Work was now in "Emergency Preparation" mode. I do computer work for a grocery distribution company that services the entire gulf coast, so any small threat puts the tension high. All this meant for me (because I was on call for the week) was that i just had to keep updated and be ready if any computer problems arises. <br />
<br />
So i spent my Friday half day picking up items around the outside of my house and getting ready for the storm. I was also able to get my things packed for my LSS "Summer Challenge" crop being held on Saturday. I packed thinking i would assess the weather situation in the morning and determine if a drive to praireiville would be a smart move. <br />
<br />
Besides a little rain and wind on Saturday morning, the weather was too bad. Well then the power went out. OK that was a sign. I packed the car and headed to my LSS. Knowing they had power and Internet, I could spend a couple of hours there and the crop and deal with work when there was issues. Although only three of us showed up the crop, I chatted with good friends and managed to make some progress on Isabelle's dance album. If you remember this post <a href="http://moleskineadventures.blogspot.com/2011/05/dance-year-comes-to-end.html">here</a>, I had started on her dance album from this past year at our annual family beach trip in May. I will admit since then and with only a couple of pages at the NSD crop at Micheals, I haven't really touched the album. I didn't get it finished, only 4 pages left, but got a pretty good bit done. Here is the latest pages....<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">What's left is the rest of Debbie Allen, Master classes with Dion and NTG's Final Event. The goal is to get it done before the first competition this year. Well that's in November, so one more crop at my LSS should do it.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The crop ended around 3 and I headed home to hopefully a house with power. Power was on, so i took the rest of the afternoon to get laundry and some house cleaning done, in case the power went out again during the weekend. Just a few small glitches here and there. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Sunday was yet another day of wind and rain, Tropical Storm Lee was pounding Louisiana. I spent most of the morning and early afternoon helping my mom clean her house. I owed her big time after she the rest of my family helped me move into the new house. It took me the entire month of August to move! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I spent the rest of Sunday and all of Monday working on crafty projects (Trying to get a head start on Halloween) and layouts for LOAD.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">On a side Note...... I have been enrolled in BPC's "The Mother Load and haven't quite been keeping up with the warm up part. I was taking both Finding Photo Freedom and starting Mother Load, along with the move all in the same month and was just stretched too thin! The first of September started the LOAD part (Layout a Day). I will admit, going into this class I knew that a layout a day was just not possible for me. I took the class for the daily prompts in hoping that I could get out of my comfort zone of just scrapping events. My goal was have 7 layouts in a week done. Using my weekends and Wednesday afternoons to catch up on previous days prompts. I do spend a couple of minutes a day, brainstorming on the prompts just to get my thoughts together on what i want the layout to look like. This helps so when i sit down on the weekends and actually crop, the layouts come together pretty fast.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Out of the 5 prompts from the start of the class, I followed 2 completely, 1 partially, but also completed 4 additional layouts along with a set of cards.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Thought this would be great for trick or treat party this year. Basically its silver trays and glass candle sticks spray painted. Had a little bit of sunshine and cool weather on Sunday afternoon, so the perfect time to get this project completed. Went to dollar tree and found three different style trays (oval, circle and rounded rectangle). Decided to do three: two in all black because my kitchen is black and red and one in orange and black for Halloween.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">FYI, while going to my local dollar tree in search of the supplies needed for the trays and frame, I discovered that they had just put out all of their Halloween/fall decor. I scoped up four huge spiders and webs, fun straws, test tube candy and pumpkin dollies. Since spray paint was used on the tray they are not safe to put food directly on them. I will be using the pumpkin dollies (pack of 35 for only $1) I found.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
<br />
Whew! This weekend was jam packed, I'm exhausted. Only 4 more days till the next one.......<br />
<br />
So anyway, my weekend started off on a Friday. I was so graciously able to take the day off from work to attend my LSS's, <a href="http://www.memorymaniac.com/">Memory Mania</a>, weekend crop. <br />
<br />
CCL(Camp Crop aLot) XXI "Scrapbooking Divas"<br />
<br />
CCL started bright and early Friday morning at 9:00 am. I arrived at the Crown Plaza, early might i add, decked out in my diva apparel. side note: apparently i never had my picture taken as this diva, such a shame! As the doors opened I filed in line with the rest of the divas waiting for my Castle table assignment. E10 would be where I would reign for the next 37 hrs. <br />
<br />
Just a quick hello to my Castle-mates. I met some wonderful ladies. So Nancy, Wendy, Glenda and Glenda, if you are reading this... hello and I miss ya'll already! I always sign up for these crops as a single because my family and friends aren't into the scrappy stuff. No biggie, makes for a great way to make new friends.<br />
<br />
Once past the Castle gates I was greeted with a table of cupcakes! Don't they just know how to make me smile! I headed off to my assigned table to drop off my goodies. I was given a tool tote and my CCL t-shirt. Now it was time to unload all the scrappy supplies from my car. I brought just what was needed. It only took three trips! I had my castle set up and decorated in no time. Side Note: Once again, never took a picture of my castle. Here is the pic of all the decor I brought with me.<br />

Getting down to business.....<br />
Most of Friday was spent working on my mini album for my trip to Chicago back in 2007. I used my <a href="http://www.scrapscription.com/">scrapscription</a> kit "Around and About". Unfortunately this kit is no longer available for purchase but you can buy the pdf instructions <a href="http://www.scrapscription.com/pkits.htm">here</a> and use your own supplies. What a wonderful kit, it used a Maya Road chipboard binder album and Basic Grey's "Wander" Collection. I entered this mini album into the Page Contest. More on this later in the post!<br />
<br />
Friday afternoon I took the "Triple the Fun" class taught by the lovely Becky and Jody. In a two hour time "crunch" I created 3 double page layouts. I say "crunch" because we went way over our time limit. Here are the 3 wonderful layouts complete with pictures.<br />

Went back to the castle bright and early Saturday morning just in time for the Cupcake shoppe to reopen at 8:15. Stocked up on adhesive and went back to work. By lunchtime I had completed an additional 6 layouts. Not long after it was time for me to leave CCL for a couple of hours to attend Young Band Summer Slam. I submitted my mini book for the contest and headed off to the Shaw Center.<br />
<br />
Noah has been participating in a Young Band program through Baton Rouge Music Studios this summer. The program puts together kids of similar age and ability to form a band. They spent the summer writing music, practicing, recording a single and making a music video. Saturday's show debut the video along with live performances. Noah is a guitar player for "Hysteria". Here are a few pics of the band singing their single "I'm Moving On". As soon as the music video is posted on YouTube I will link it up on my blog.<br />

The weekend rounded with work at the new house....<br />
<br />
The house is coming along, plumbing is down, ie. shower and hot water heater are installed. The family and I put down baseboards, cleaned the kitchen, cleared out some stuff, amongst other things. Only a handful items left on the list. Moving date is still set for Aug 13th. I confirmed with the movers, cable company and current landlord today. All is a go. Finished off Sunday afternoon with more packing at my house and off to bed early. I was sound asleep by 9pm.<br />

Each week we are given a new challenge with specific critieria, ex: supply, theme, etc. You get a stamp for each submitted layout and as long as you complete at least 4 layouts you get invited to a "End of Summer Crop". 6 stamps gets your name in a drawing for $50 drawing. I completed the 3 next challenges at the night crop held this past friday. Here are my entries:<br />

I ran across the two left pictures while i was completing one of the photo assignments from BPC's "Finding Photo Freedom" class I am currently taking. These pictures were taken back in 2006 on the 4th of July. On the 4th of this year, Isabelle came outside to swim and she was wearing a star spangled swimsuit again. I showed her the pictures I found and we decided to recreate them. Noah was quite as excited! It's hard to believe how fast they grow up but 5 yrs makes a big difference.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

UpdateSo right before leaving work today, i checked the tracking status of my SMASH shipment one more time and found that it was updated to show that my package had been delivered to my local post office. I mean come on, UPS has to drive pass my house to get to the post office. So i called the postman and he said i could pick it up today. I got to the office just a moment to late. I had to beg the postman to open the doors back up and release my package. He is my new favorite person!<br />
<br />
I didn't even make it out the parking lot before i ripped open the box.<br />
<br />
Here is my loot!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFikA-1e4PkogcOzg2lFlHvdIKRLRb9H4XuZxKYEs0HpfCr4ibxfuTVhHbJwLAUGCQUINAfDXnV9EKdMzTIY4xdhXp-ue-gDvYyJvninwS7u5ElksW2IqTqS5W57krLpit0oXbZP91XXM/s1600/IMG_6537.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFikA-1e4PkogcOzg2lFlHvdIKRLRb9H4XuZxKYEs0HpfCr4ibxfuTVhHbJwLAUGCQUINAfDXnV9EKdMzTIY4xdhXp-ue-gDvYyJvninwS7u5ElksW2IqTqS5W57krLpit0oXbZP91XXM/s320/IMG_6537.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> I used the packaging from my mini SMASH to create a pocket to hold all my SMASH accessories. Loving that SMASH tape, gives my pocket extra security!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBwz8YlRBHP3GOIrlCcrXGP28pPcwudr_C0zFHKEFnOWJ5yRQ8EBZ8v38v5Jp3BjRmKBJ7y1JxMwB9yzftKtSPdbCqFvL8u02NLqvkwikE6SmIljHbX2yTGUMv80Pfb76zDvZqAb05eBA/s1600/IMG_6538.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBwz8YlRBHP3GOIrlCcrXGP28pPcwudr_C0zFHKEFnOWJ5yRQ8EBZ8v38v5Jp3BjRmKBJ7y1JxMwB9yzftKtSPdbCqFvL8u02NLqvkwikE6SmIljHbX2yTGUMv80Pfb76zDvZqAb05eBA/s320/IMG_6538.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>So my first page was a tribute to the mini SMASH. If you missed that post, its <a href="http://moleskineadventures.blogspot.com/2011/05/week-in-life-smash-style.html">here</a>. I used the special mini (only given to 200 of SMASH's blog followers) to document "A Week In The Life"<br />
<br />
Whew! I'm exhausted.......nap then more smashing ;)Christihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06195332317878225078noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802764721143889071.post-5220831909586485402011-05-27T13:19:00.000-05:002011-05-27T13:19:33.914-05:00I've been SMASHed!Do you remember me telling you about the new hit that is SMASH?

Not too bad, got free shipping because it was over $50.....so this was on May 10th. Fast forward to May 20th.... SMASH blog officially announces SMASH is available for purchase......that same afternoon i receive a notification that my order has shipped. <br />
<br />
So that was this past friday. Checked and checked all weekend UPS was not updated with an estimated delivery date. Come monday afternoon and their it was a delivery date of friday (today). All week i have been refreshing the UPS tracking information, all on schedule till wednesday. :( Tracking information showed this: ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. Which defined by UPS means "The shipment is currently within the UPS network; however, adverse weather conditions could result in a change to the scheduled delivery date. If a change in delivery date occurs, the tracking status will be updated to reflect the new delivery date." It did show where: NEW ORLEANS. So now my SMASH is being held hostage about 45 minutes from my house. I was so tempted to drive out to the shipping warehouse and demand my SMASH. ok rant over<br />
<br />
So this morning, i quietly checked UPS again and it showed that my SMASH did make it to my local UPS. Ive been checking all day but doesn't show its been sent out for delivery. Since i live down the street from my local UPS, I am normally the last drop off of the night. So here is fingers crossing! I plan to stop by on my way home and see if they will let me take my package if its not on the truck.<br />
<br />
I will say i caved and purchased another book, the Mod Black from studio calico. It was the pre-sale today for all subscribers and i just couldn't help myself. Everyone was so excited about all the SMASH stuff available in the store. I promise it will get used.....i was just afraid once i open my box i would have my first book filled the same day.<br />
<br />
Which FYI....all of the <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits">Studio Calico</a> add-on kits for this month include SMASH accessories and they are carrying the entire line including all four books. Might wanna go soon, "pretty" pink is already sold out.Christihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06195332317878225078noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802764721143889071.post-50499547710101681172011-05-27T12:41:00.000-05:002011-05-27T12:41:38.743-05:00More NSD LayoutsI finally took photos of the rest of the layouts that were made during NSD week.<br />

It comes time to put together and album to celebrate Isabelle's journey throughout the dance year. Wow this year was a busy but exciting one. Alot more conventions and competions than we normally do along with first time scholarships for the bubbly 9yr old.<br />
<br />
The album is not complete although i worked on it every night durning our beach trip and at my local Micheals NSD crop. I made it all way through the competition season and only have recital and Debbie Allen performance left. I went with 8 1/2x 11 size because i knew it would just too much at the 12x12 size. I also decided to use We R Memory Keepers divided protectors. They hold 4x6 photos in all orientations and made quick pages.<br />
<br />
So here we go.....<br />

</div><div align="left">So my thoughts on next year's album: Have her help me and complete pages throughout the year instead of all at once. </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">So have you heard of <a href="http://www.smashstoriesblog.com/">SMASH</a>? Well it's K & Company's newest album journal and since i pre-ordered it should be on my doorstep any day now. I pitched the idea of using a smash album to Isabelle for next year's dance album and have her hooked. I figured she could use it throughout the year and document her own journey (with my help of course!). We discovered she could have her teachers autograph straight into her SMASH journal and i would use my poloraid pogo printer to print her pictures with them. BRILLIANT! The SMASH journal will also be a great place for her to "SMASH" her keepsakes from our trips..... ie. resturant napkins, convention bracelets, hotel room keys, etc. I ordered her the "pretty pink" one (the doodle red for myself) and all the accessories. Can't wait!</div>Christihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06195332317878225078noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802764721143889071.post-35268925067617418582011-05-23T15:40:00.000-05:002011-05-23T15:40:24.374-05:00Scrapscription Mini turned Graduation GiftSo my latest <a href="http://www.scrapscription.com/">scrapscription</a> kit came in this past week. It was entitled "Life Moves On" and was a binder album. From the moment i opened the kit and started assembling, I decided this would make the perfect graduatin gift for my cousin who was finishing LSU. I figured it was big enough she could put 4 yrs worth of memories in one album. I made a few adapations and added extra tags and pages. Here is a few pages from the finished project:<br />

I really enjoyed putting this album together. Scrapscription makes it so easy with their detailed instructions that come with the kits.<br />
<br />
Needless to say she opened it and was astonished at the details. Then she asked if i would help her fill it with her pics and memories.

</div>Although i didn't win anything I had a blast completing the challenges. NSD weekend was a busy one for me between challenges, Dancing for Big Buddy and leaving for the beach the following day. I continued the SC challenges(along with working on Isabelle's dance album) while at the beach throughout the next week. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">My NSD week concluded with an all day crop at my local Micheals the following Saturday. I have mixed feelings about Micheals crops. This was my first (as it was from most of us that attended) but i felt it was kinda thrown together. Which was surprising because i began to get the emails about the event a week prior. I arrived when it started at 9am but many trickled in throughout the day. By the end they had 12 of use crammed into a small room with only 4 tables. All in all the day was still productive. I got a handful more of pages down for Isabelle's dance album plus 2 more layouts. I also learned a lot from my fellow croppers, which for me is the whole reason i attend these type of events. This would be were my Silhouette vs Cricut dilemma all started. More on this in the previous post!</div>Christihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06195332317878225078noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802764721143889071.post-8311547848736260772011-05-23T15:30:00.000-05:002011-05-23T15:30:36.135-05:00Silhouette vs. CricutSo i have a dilemma!<br />
<br />
I have outgrown my Slice. While i like my Slice a lot because its light, doesn't take up much room in my scrap area and the design cards are cheaper than cricut, but it only cuts up to 4 inches and i can't weld letters together or create my own wordings. So my thought was to sell my slice and all the accessories (which is a lot, retail i have over $1200). Right now i have it listed locally but if anyone is interested let me know and im sure we can work out a deal. <br />
<br />
So i had it all worked out....<br />
<br />
My birthday was coming up, i was going to ask hobby lobby/Micheals gift cards and between the money for my slice and gift cards i would be able to purchase the expression and gypsy. I did my research, made a list of the design cards i wanted and other accessories. Then i realized that cricut's design software is not compatible with MAC. Not good Not good! Ok no biggie, i would just load the software on my work laptop. Then at my local Micheals NSD crop a fellow cropper introduced me to the "sure cuts a lot" software, which is MAC compatible. Great forget cricut's software i will just use this instead. Well come to find out SCAL is not compatible with the new cricut expression 2 and cricut is in the process of <span style="background-color: yellow;">using </span>SCAL. once again NOT GOOD! So im back to having to use only design cards. I started pricing those and wow they are $90. Good thing was my LSS lets you rent design cards and have cricut's you can use when you attend crops. Figured i would design on my gypsy and cut with their cards when i went for the crops. Sounds like a plan!<br />
<br />
Ok onto the other side....Silhouette.<br />
<br />
A couple of months ago craftysteals.com had offered a silhouette bundle and a bunch of accessories and their steal of the day. The price was actually about 1/2 off but didn't really know what the silhouette was so i moved on. Well two weeks ago american crafts ran a week long blog posts about their designs and the silhouette. I was intrigued! I started researching the silhouette and realized it does just about everything the cricut does. It only cuts up to 9 inches where as the cricut cuts up to 12. I doesn't need design cards and their design software is free and MAC compatible. Wohoo! You can import your own design (in .gsd format of course......i will be learning how to do this soon) and use any true type font. You can purchase their design separately for $0.99 instead of buying the whole design cards. Downfall with no design cards you now need a laptop to cut. Not really a big one, but it would be great if there was an ipad "app for that"!<br />
<br />
So here is my dilemma...... do i spend the money on the so praised cricut and have the convenience of my LSS and crops or do i get the silhouette and be the odd ball out.<br />
<br />
Anyone out there in blog land who owns both and can vouch for either of these wonderful machines? The plan is to have something purchased and learned by the end of the July in time for my LSS Weekend Camp Crop.Christihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06195332317878225078noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802764721143889071.post-24861849380985324052011-05-13T19:19:00.000-05:002011-05-13T19:19:29.333-05:00"A Week In The Life" ..... SMASH StyleI was one of the lucky smash fans to get a free mini SMASH! yay for me! Since SMASH production was delayed, I was saving my smash mini until i could get my hands on the big one. Well no more, i put in my pre-order earlier in the week and decided to turn my smash into "A Week In The Life". <br />
<br />
This past week was not a normal week for me being that I spent it at the beach but it sure made for a cute mini.<br />
