Scraprageous — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 13:14:31 GMT

do some scrapping, of any type, today? If all goes well, after errands and school, I can get to work on some swaps and layouts. I am thinking of participating in another scrap stash contest for September, though I am already behind as it started 9/1 and I haven't yet Mailing today - some long overdue RAK's and prizes, so if you were on a list to receive one from me and didn't yet, it should be there the end of this week/first of next.

Time to change avatars yet?

Hi-whats the new theme? Anybody have a suggestion?

If no, how about back to school?

(I hope this is in the right section)

September 2011 Challenge

Scraprageous — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 15:54:26 GMT

If you are up for it, why not try another challenge. 1. If at least 5 people participate, I will offer a drawing with a RAK of some type (have to shop first). 2. If you get a friend, who hasn't been on this site before, to register and participate (and put your name in their thread), you will get an additional spot in the RAK drawing. If your friend wins, I will send the main RAK to them and you will receive a RAK as well!! Make sense? If we get a few more people on the site and ...

Bazzill Cardstock

Scraprageous — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 15:49:17 GMT

how do you store yours? Just curious as I have been putting a piece of folded paper or sticky note on with the color. I have the wonderful swatch book which helps me figure a lot out, but once I figure them out, I can't seem to just put them away without some sort of note. Anyone else like this, or am I just nuts

Letter Stickers

Scraprageous — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 15:47:05 GMT

I never liked them in the past, however, I discovered over the weekend that they do come in handy at times . They allowed me to finish up a layout quickly without having to find the right color of cardstock to match my paper (Graphic 45 Christmas - needed a red and didn't have one, but Pink Paislee Fascinating alphabet stickers matched perfect ) Guess I need to rethink my alpha's that were in a discard (not throw away, but give away) pile. Much as I love my cricut letters, those ...

Anyone started on their

Scraprageous — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 15:30:57 GMT

Christmas gifts? Scrappy or otherwise? I have some rolodex birthday things I will be making - similar to this one, but with papers appropriate to the various people Also trying to decide on gifts for other people that I want to make so I can get going on them sooner rather than later (later always tends to lead me to purchasing something, "just to have a gift" for someone rather than putting thought into things) Not sure what to give all the Sr's in high school - if all ...

It's time for another RAK :)

buster55904 — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 18:34:40 GMT

Today while at Wal-mart I almost bought a Cricut cartridges I even brought it all the way to the register!!! It was so hard to leave it there, but it was for the best First person to guess which Cricut cartridge it was wins a small prize Hint: it's a Cricut Lite cartridge PS: only one guess at a time and you may guess again each time someone else guesses.

July Challenge

Scraprageous — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 13:25:17 GMT

Love Sketches? Hate Sketches? Other feelings about Sketches? Well, as you can guess, I like them, so for this month, the challenge is to post a site that gives out daily/weekly/or monthly challenges. One catch - you cannot duplicate another answer. Example, if PageMaps is listed (not a challenge site, so doesn't count - sorry), you cannot list PageMaps in your answer. Sound easy - it really is. There are a lot of sites out there that give out challenges (we do too!) This month's ...

Mini Cards

KMG — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 23:25:40 GMT

Any interest in a mini card swap? I was thinking like a 3x3 size (no envelope)
Something that could be used to stick in a gift bag or box. Maybe make 3-5 for each person. Thanks, Karen

I bought the wrong paper!

mimsymarie — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 20:53:08 GMT

I went to do my Max & Whiskers swap and realized I had bought the Bo Bunny pet's paper and not the Basic Grey!. What can I say, it looked good. So a swift order into ACOT and hopefully they will be fast delivering. Karen M

I received my prize from the 11 Days of Scrapbooking!!! Everything was wonderful. I so needed some cute travel stuff to finish up our summer trip. If you all haven't checked out K and Co's Happy Trails, be sure to. It is adorable. The colors are so bright. I also love the Primas that match so well. Thank you! I am hoping I can put some to use tonight after dinner.

Not sure if you are interested, if so, I would be willing to drive and pick up (or you can email and do directly with her), but a lady in the next town over just sent out an email with the following information. I do not know her, but figured if you were looking for a particular cartridge, she may have it to sell. ------------------------------------------------------------- Due to the enormous hospital bills that we have accrued from my Daughter's 28 days in Childrens Hospital I am parting ...

Shopping today!!!

Scraprageous — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 13:38:15 GMT

the closest lss has their adhesive refills for $2 (I still love the Tombo stuff), so I just have to "force" myself to run up and buy some LOL They also have DCWV stacks for $8.98, so I bet at least one of those will make its way into my cart. off to get ready to go

Sewing on layouts - do you add

Scraprageous — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 23:02:05 GMT

glue or something to the start and finish points? Just curious. Finished up the layouts for Melody;s pages (sorry I am late everyone - but they will make it to the mailbox Monday morning - still cutting one set of letters, had to get another piece of paper I need to plan way better). However - when I did the zig zag stitch on the edge of one piece, it just seemed very, very loose. Curious - do you start with some adhesive somewhere or just add glue? I added clear liquid (photo safe) ...

Why are copics so expensive?

lbaker — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 04:06:05 GMT

I have been browsing several creative blogs this evening, and I have seen lots of beautiful work done with copic markers. So I started thinking maybe I needed some, then I looked at the prices. Why are they so expensive? I have a couple of black copic pens and I prefer my zig to them. I just really wonder if they are worth the price, and then I see how nice they make stamped images look.

Check out this whale breaching and carrying on in Australia. When we did our whale watch a few years ago we must have been looking at some half dead whales, b/c sheesh! We barely got to see a few flukes in the air. Whale This was a trip of a lifetime. BTW, has anyone watched the show "Whale Wars"? It makes me so sad most times I watch.
