There are some duplicates and not everything has a caption but they are there. I discovered as I posted these pictures that I don't have pictures of everything I've made so today my goal is to take those pictures and post them.<br />on a "family" note, the last 3 days with my boys has been great, Dexter's terrible 2's is really starting to calm down and Cleese is finally getting on a manageable schedule. here's a pic of my boys incase anyone wants to see them. :-) this was taken the day after Cleese was born. the funny look on my face is because I was just taking Dex's finger out of his nose for the photo...BOYS! ick!Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00575905920413874745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599512034059400336.post-38874662203699234102010-07-25T13:49:00.002-03:002010-07-25T13:53:16.040-03:0012 weeks and countingit's been 12 weeks and 2 days since I have the baby. That means it's been 12 weeks and 3 days since I really got into my scrapping space. But I am uploading new pictures to my photo album right now and I will be getting into my space soon. The baby is finally falling into a routine and my 2 year old isn't always terrible. Luckily they both go to bed by 8pm so that may start a few extra hours here and there for me to get back into things. So before I blog too much I'm going to post those new"ish" picture and get some inspiration to get more done for you awesome 8 people who decided to follow me ! Thanks!

I'm still scrapping and making cards but for myself. I may still have classes not 100% sure on that yet though. April 30th marked a busy day for me, I had my second son that day, Cleese Bruce Clarke, 7lbs 1.7 oz. 19 & 3/4 inches long and healthy and happy, but that was also the day I officially got kicked out of SU! oh well, I had more important things to tend to that day! :-) Things are hectic still as Cleese is only 1 month old and Dexter is still exercising his right to be a "terrible two" year old so as soon as I can get some time to me I will be back in the saddle making card s and scrapping. I have projects "brewing" in the back of my head. like the album I plan to make for the boys, I have a picture of Dex every week upto 1 year old and started the same for Cleese and I plan to do a page for every week with both boys on it. Can't wait to start it!Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00575905920413874745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599512034059400336.post-42976679811139511872009-11-13T20:00:00.004-04:002009-11-13T20:10:49.102-04:00WOW where have I been...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY2gcevIwlWP2kEkNkDvV-yU6aYVVOqHapGAGzc9K3TOPGSSvDjKugXJgw8vCD-iAuv1DkG_0hE4SEJR6RysM-v3vfw2jh7SzhrzdXZcgtRQBPRwZ97sJwaRnbQyKK6Sf7g24zdpDrqo0/s1600-h/IMG_0948.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY2gcevIwlWP2kEkNkDvV-yU6aYVVOqHapGAGzc9K3TOPGSSvDjKugXJgw8vCD-iAuv1DkG_0hE4SEJR6RysM-v3vfw2jh7SzhrzdXZcgtRQBPRwZ97sJwaRnbQyKK6Sf7g24zdpDrqo0/s320/IMG_0948.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403744596484589858" border="0" /></a><br />it's been 6 MONTHS, since I last posted anything...ouch! well I have lots of great excuses: here we go: June, July, August I was trapped at the cottage with NO internet!, September moved back to town found out I am pregnant ( morning sickness 24/7) October...???? I don't even remember it was such a blur. November..I know it's only the 13th but it's been crazy, between finding flu shots, and fighting off regular colds, finding out my mom has breast cancer ( her operation was this afternoon) and balancing my own doctor's appointments. WOW! gotta take a breath and slow down. I am finally back into the scrapping and card making. I have a <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Christmas card class scheduled</span> for the 21st and 22nd this month. Hopefully it'll go well. the picture above is one of the cards we'll be making. I know I've said this before but I am going to try my darnedest to keep up with this blog I have lots of scrapbook pages to show off and tons of cards guess now my major task will be to find the JPEGS of the makings.Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00575905920413874745noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599512034059400336.post-3317262824144457522009-05-16T09:38:00.003-03:002009-05-16T09:45:38.425-03:00flip flop album---mother's day gift.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhREvlskFoyJoxGGtgbJ0ALcIcXUptQnPK58bYb0uwMRDoUrk9uJ91n8SeRLIsj_gn7_3lkc7DdV11N8G3cwxgyRDctnNBRhX6BrRlsWjLJ1QujDah8oiVvqKxzi_4w0HS5OCA970S8UEM/s1600-h/IMG_3608.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhREvlskFoyJoxGGtgbJ0ALcIcXUptQnPK58bYb0uwMRDoUrk9uJ91n8SeRLIsj_gn7_3lkc7DdV11N8G3cwxgyRDctnNBRhX6BrRlsWjLJ1QujDah8oiVvqKxzi_4w0HS5OCA970S8UEM/s320/IMG_3608.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336401801128190002" border="0" /></a><br />I made a flip flop album for my mother in law. She recently got back from Cuba and I saw this paper and brown flip flops and threw it together. I had looked on line for a tutorial on how to do it since I had only seen 1, as a finished product. I found a site that sells them but no instructions on how to do it. So I looked closely at the pics and figured my own way...and now I have 2 made and want to make more! It was fun and they look so neat when they are done. Awesome coffee table book. Show off you're favorite pics in a unique manner. Wanna know how I did it?

Cynthia and I had 3 classes in the last 2 weeks so I have been really busy for that. They went very well and we have another one this Sunday. But anyways back to my new work space. I bought the <a href="http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/3/HouseHome/StorageOrganization/HouseholdOrganization/PRD%7E0688037P/Sauder%2BProject%2BOrganizer.jsp">Sauder project organizer </a>today at Canadian tire. It's the best $200 I've spent. looks great holds a lot of stuff. forgot to save room for my "big shot" though. Well there's room on my desk for that I guess. I promise I will get back to updating this regularly. Maybe I'll get some pictures for Sunday's class up too.Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00575905920413874745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599512034059400336.post-30103547792045781702009-04-05T21:53:00.002-03:002009-04-05T22:00:27.691-03:00Stationary box<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu1iYYfiato9lPp82aLhntnSUrLwmJtqFPDmX-d8j7XAHk-tkJJ8w7h2EUh28Azbp-Ama7F3-EE25Utzn16T4VXzJDmKveYMPV51jvU1K95L9I0TVvXoKJsg4xWvjTsesJAquZBkzFi8k/s1600-h/IMG_3338.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu1iYYfiato9lPp82aLhntnSUrLwmJtqFPDmX-d8j7XAHk-tkJJ8w7h2EUh28Azbp-Ama7F3-EE25Utzn16T4VXzJDmKveYMPV51jvU1K95L9I0TVvXoKJsg4xWvjTsesJAquZBkzFi8k/s320/IMG_3338.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321376959160942226" border="0" /></a><br />This is the coolest project I have done so far...I LOVE IT!!! it was so easy to do too. The box is a nice size and when you take the lid off it's full of surprises: a space for full size cards, love cards (3x3), a note pad, gift tags, a pen holder and an envelope for stamps. I used the delicate dots designer paper and some fun little embellishments. I love the look of the hemp with delicate dots. anyways, here's the tutorial on the <a href="http://jackietopa.typepad.com/Stationary.pdf">stationary box</a>.

Thanks to those of you who came! I went to Evelyn's meeting and I think my 3x3 card was a hit everyone said "aww cute" when I swapped with them. My up line's up line has decided to call a meeting for us girls. So in preparation for this we have to create a tag (actually 6 all same) for a tag swap at this meeting. I already finished mine, did them today while Dex napped for 2 hours! I'm really happy with how they turned out. I found the tutorial on "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/">youtube</a>" and the card is called a "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6upODac5TL4"> no waste criss cross card</a>" I just made it half the size of a regular card. To make this darling "tag" I used the new delicate dots paper from the sale-a-bration catalogue and the so saffron designer series. Since I used silver brads for the flower and ribbon pull, I thought I'd emboss a nice saying in silver to match. The stamp is from "a beautiful thing" set and my flower's from the dollar store...SHHH! don't tell anyone! :-) I almost forgot the leaf...it's from my ABC Images stamp set and I coloured it using my Old Olive pastel and my blender pen. I originally used the cerntainly celery but it wasn't dark enough for my liking. Isn't it just Delicate!?!?! ;-)Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00575905920413874745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599512034059400336.post-7953131222420365512009-03-26T08:39:00.002-03:002009-03-26T08:42:54.225-03:002 days to the Gala!I want to take this (quiet) second to thank all of you who have decided to come to my Gala.

Perfect for photo booth sized pictures...if they are even around anymore. I love the bright paper I used, it was scraps from Cynthia, they just popped on the black cardstock. The second album was easier (with the practice I suppose) and it was finished in 1 & 1/2 hours but I can't really compare it to the larger one because there's a pretty big size difference.

I think my favorite is the "<a href="http://www.inspiredstamping.com/my_weblog/2008/06/terrific-techni.html">flip flop</a>" album but the "<a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/circleflipupbook/">circle flip up</a>" album looks awesome when it's finished but it's just a little more tricky for making the templates. The flip flop album is not made with flip flops (shoes), I do plan to make one of those once I find a tutorial. I will have a class on how to make this flip flop album probably right before the summer. We'll do it using the "simply scrappin' " sets from SU! and it'll probably be a choice of 2 or 3 patterns. The circle album is a sweet center piece for any table. Seems like maybe a christmas album to me.... We'll see. Approx. time I spent on the flip flop album....5 hours for the first one...2 hours on the second one ( not pictured) the circle flip up album time was about 4 hours and haven't attempted another yet (been sick with a head cold). Overall I'd rate the the flip flop as a class project and the circle flip up as a need to attempt a few more times first.Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00575905920413874745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599512034059400336.post-10084570205109487632009-03-18T22:20:00.003-03:002009-03-18T22:32:11.037-03:00My new project...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6OKhyphenhyphenbyWI4WyKTayG5Ok33_qkojEtLhPw0-bk4hvH3gb6_fI8lKdxys-nYBfe4048KSlDSFsiY0MlfAfkx3zfJeBRPvjSr7IKsB2QFV1bgiaFM1zMxSyjkYMnCxLP0VBevBIBnf-N0vc/s1600-h/Picture+474.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6OKhyphenhyphenbyWI4WyKTayG5Ok33_qkojEtLhPw0-bk4hvH3gb6_fI8lKdxys-nYBfe4048KSlDSFsiY0MlfAfkx3zfJeBRPvjSr7IKsB2QFV1bgiaFM1zMxSyjkYMnCxLP0VBevBIBnf-N0vc/s320/Picture+474.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314704243540119922" border="0" /></a><br />So I'm a huge horror fan so when I saw these adorable <a href="http://chicnscratch.typepad.com/stampinacademy/2008/09/frankenstein-bo.html">Frankenstein Boxes</a>, I was hooked! I've only made the one but I do plan to make some once I get more card stock. They are a great treat bag for special "trick or treaters" or even fun party favors. As I sat and followed the tutorial on how to make this darling little creature I thought up other characters I can make in the same fashion, so I tried one...<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/O4MzlsoXgwxy9IuBZBp1Hg?feat=directlink">BIG BIRD</a>. Heehee! I'd have to say I am quite happy with the result, I just got to figure out a better "beak" solution (If anyone has one , please let me know!?!?!). p.s I made a flip album today and once all the glue is dry I'll take some pics and post it...It's really pretty! Well I think so! :-)Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00575905920413874745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599512034059400336.post-24798308877051009352009-03-17T23:30:00.002-03:002009-03-17T23:36:04.793-03:00Busy day!Went out to my upline's (Cynthia) today. Did some finishing touches on my 3x3 cards for Evelyn's demo meeting and I borrowed a few stamp sets to play with and got a crap load of scrap paper from her. So much in fact it took me over an hour just to sort it by colour...lol! I have so much ready for the gala, it's just a few little things I have to do... :-) I have a few project ideas floating in my head can't wait to get a minute to myself so I can start them....as always once they are done they'll be posted for you to admirer..kidding! Anyways, it is late and I have another busy day tomorrow. Good night and I'll be back tomorrow with something I did the other day....can't wai tto share it with you all, just need to "tweak" it up a little...see ya then!Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00575905920413874745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599512034059400336.post-22717367686142538792009-03-13T23:35:00.002-03:002009-03-13T23:42:46.836-03:00New Stamp SetsI bought 3 new (to me) stamp sets today and I can't wait to use them. I rearranged my work space tonight so I didn't get any scrapping done, but this afternoon while Dexter napped I got my stamps for the 3x3 cards cut out and attached to my background with pop ups. Yay! So the sets I bought today are: bold basics, Delight in life and springtime stems. As I said I can't wait to try 'em out!<br /><br />p.s. I am working on a design for personal gift certificates, for my clientele in case someone needs a gift but doesn't know exactly what the person they are buying for wants. I think I'll make them so they'll be any denomination for convenience. I can't wait to have them done. They'll be ready for the gala, so if any one wants them.Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00575905920413874745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599512034059400336.post-37750407318973130362009-03-12T23:24:00.003-03:002009-03-12T23:32:27.079-03:00March 28th --GalaI'm starting to get nervous about my gala...so far I only have 5 people coming...that's not nearly enough. I think I'm going to have to post an invite on kijiji...why not..I can decide on who I let come or not....Anyways, please if you know anyone who you think would enjoy this FREE event pass along the invite or this site. I need to know all who are attending by March 20th, for supplies and refreshments quantities. My young son will be here (with my mother watching him) so if someone has to bring the baby it is ok but this is intended for adults. We wanna have fun and "let down our hair" don't we??? Keep me posted if you want to come, it's going to be so much fun, just send me an email.<br />p.s. I didn't get around to taking the pictures I promised yesterday I was busy starting my 3x3 cards for Evelyn's meeting on the 29th March. Sorry! I'll get them done asap..keep checking my slide show.Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00575905920413874745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599512034059400336.post-43051640575165053702009-03-11T23:31:00.003-03:002009-03-11T23:36:36.541-03:00Demo's meetingWell I just read that I am supposed to design 20 cards for the demo's meeting on the 29th of March, yes the day after my gala. Guess I'm gonna have to crack down and design something 100% SU! Humm...to get my brain working may take a little kick. Oh well, I work better under pressure. heehee! 20 cards..I wonder why....this will be interesting...<br /><br />oh by the way, I've made a bunch of those post it note covers ( a dozen+) and tomorrow if it's sunny out I will get the pics taken so I can post them. They are so cute, and as soon as I get my butt in gear you can purchase them at Sandstones Gallery in Moncton (in the Blue cross building to be exact). I just love the look of them and they are so simple. Well I should go to bed...I've got some designs to dream up!Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00575905920413874745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599512034059400336.post-27476722353133047432009-03-10T22:24:00.002-03:002009-03-10T22:33:41.575-03:00Tuesday...We'll I have to say the day I had today wasn't one of a scrapper...I have been suffering ( kidding) with a teething baby...so needless to say I haven't got much done in the last couple of days. But I have managed to make 8 of those post it note covers, and I made a trek to the dollar store for some miscellaneous supplies: glue, velcro, fibers, index cards, etc.<br /> I've been trying to come up with ideas for my opening gala and I think with <a href="http://fromtheheartstamping.blogspot.com/">Cynthia's</a> help I've got it figured out. I am set in theory, now I just need to take action...make sure I have enough supplies, snacks (which I won't get yet) and an awesome door prize or two.<br /> I still feel like today was a waste but as a mom I am entitled to put my teething, miserable feeling son first...so I did! :-)Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00575905920413874745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599512034059400336.post-18828572592716939062009-03-08T14:02:00.003-03:002009-03-08T14:23:55.222-03:00Post it notes covers<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLWqraAd-7453jJoVMUi7Y0YNOHXqYF6RCUHf20YvLkbXv_ayMAhMQLAsgXUmvIEQ6zHlhuv_7fZr-PrypTVy-LqQYxBQ12K-hY98gBTFEV5ZnuyCqjj-Eu_NscwT1hG79Ods0cLayFhU/s1600-h/Picture+003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLWqraAd-7453jJoVMUi7Y0YNOHXqYF6RCUHf20YvLkbXv_ayMAhMQLAsgXUmvIEQ6zHlhuv_7fZr-PrypTVy-LqQYxBQ12K-hY98gBTFEV5ZnuyCqjj-Eu_NscwT1hG79Ods0cLayFhU/s320/Picture+003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310868584531619730" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSD0ZwuTgo0dH49OmOJSalCYSvrfZ-MUHlCIezDq6daZI5dQsv7RRXnAsksyumk5Xp05kjo2GLw42jLJSDQkItBXKnrxYUnw2Lif2nFWkfSd-EPwwiplqKUZzGZinquF4A736NlCQ7eBw/s1600-h/Picture+006.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSD0ZwuTgo0dH49OmOJSalCYSvrfZ-MUHlCIezDq6daZI5dQsv7RRXnAsksyumk5Xp05kjo2GLw42jLJSDQkItBXKnrxYUnw2Lif2nFWkfSd-EPwwiplqKUZzGZinquF4A736NlCQ7eBw/s320/Picture+006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310868576350740194" border="0" /></a><br />I love this, I found it on<a href="http://chicnscratch.typepad.com/stampinacademy/2008/06/coaster-post-it.html"> Chic n' scratch site</a>. Of course mine is a little modified but generally the same. The cover I used some pattern paper I had laying around but I used SU! 's chocolate chip designer series on the inside and matching ink pad. The stamps are from simply said rubber stamp set. The ribbon was a small piece I had around too. I try to use every little scrap: paper, ribbon, even glue. I look pretty funny scraping the glue out of the bottom of the glue stick with my pinky finger so I can use all of it.

The slide show which he wrote the application for, mouse over the pictures see what happens...pretty nifty hun? The flowers in my header are now "buttons" mouse over one of the first two, see the option?? now click it! I will have something for each flower soon, but he DOES have a day job so I got to take the work I get when it given.<br /> Today I didn't do much scrappin' of my own, I went to Cynthia's (my upline) all occasions card class. Sometimes it's nice to have someone think for you. It was fun, now I really can't wait to get my classes started. I'm even thinking about doing 12x12 album pages as classes. Please let me know what you'd like to see in a class and I'll do my best to accomodate. <br />P.S.

I thought for sure I had an altoids one somewhere..oh well I didn't but I did have this band-aid one. I like the way it came out, it was white and red so I used that to help my colour choices. I then <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zme79oRXFK0">heat embossed</a> it with "happiness" and figured I better fill it with something that makes me happy...So, CHOCOLATE it is!

I had my focal stamps pre-stamped and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWNX1m_07FQ">water coloured</a>. I got a new Aqua pen yesterday!! I love the look of water colour stamps. Unfortunately because I'm still new I don't have all the proper products (water colour paper and staz on ink). But overall I am happy with my outcome. <br />I don't have room to post all the cards I made this morning so check out my slide show to see them. If you click on it it'll bring up my web album and captions. If you have any questions or suggestions about my cards feel free to <a href="mailto:angelaclasses@gmail.com">email me</a>.Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00575905920413874745noreply@blogger.com0
