Creating Chaos!

COLOR, COLOR, COLOR! GLORIOUS COLOR! If you've seen any work by Kary Lewis, you know what I'm talking about.....COLOR!!!! Kary designs for AllyScraps, I am a Scrapaholic, and The Embellishment Studio. She's NOT afraid of color and she knows how to use it! Just check this out for starters..... click here

I found one of Kary's layouts at 2Peas that totally caught my eye and I immediately went to her website. Some sites just grab my attention and I can't break away. That's when I know it's a great site. And that's why I want to share these sites with everyone. You don't have to like the same things I do, but that's not gonna stop me from telling you to check them out!

Creating Chaos is a fabulous site....Kary's creations are so HOT that she has a permanent pass on Mary Murphy's Hot Tamale Train! (You don't know who Mary Murphy is? What?! You live in a cave? Don't you do anything besides scrapbooking?)

Oh, yeah, she's a former desert rat too. She's from a little town just down the road a piece...and her hubby's a lawman. Gotta love that. Then there's that little dog and the cat that likes water...honest, she has pictures to prove it. Go give her some props....you'll be glad you did!

That Silly Bird - Update

Thanks to the CKMB I found the stamp set at E-Bay for $11.99. Actually, it was found for me by Tracy. Thank you, Tracy! What a steal.

I've been trying to find this guy everywhere. Online, at my LSS, online again, and again, and again. Everyone is out! I'm on so many "to be notified" lists that I figure my email will be jammed at any minute.....but no. It's not happening. No bird. Nada. Zip.

This is the acrylic stamp I'm looking for from Autum Leaves. If anyone can point me in the right direction, or has one they want to trade, let me know! Please!

Okay, here's the deal....

Our little Hawaiian friend across the way is offering a RAK for some reason....but that reason is unknown to you (and you won't be able to win) unless you follow the link.....

Take some time to look around while you're there!

Desert Sunset

The temperature is soaring... well over 110 degrees all last week, (116-117) and just under 110 this week. I don't know how people lived out here prior to air conditioning. A lot of land is still owned by the Indians so I know they've been around longer than a/c....how'd they do it? The heat is unbearable and people actually want to live here. Go figure.

At least the sunsets are nice. I took these pics from my balcony. Not too shabby, huh?

I found another super fabulous blog for you guys to look at. I'll be posting about it later!

Mini Progress

I don't get to scrap as often as I'd like to. It takes me forever to get something done....but I'm making progress on those mini books I made just because I LOVE the paper!

This is my favorite. The paper is Basic Grey and the flowers are Prima Collage. I really like those flowers! I adhered the flowers and then decided to give the book a name so I'm having a problem placing the title now. The word I want to add is Faces.....but where? I had it curved over the top of the flowers but it didn't "flow".....looked pretty crappy actually. Then I tried it straight over the top of the flowers and that was kind of okay....doesn't seem to be any other way of doing it although I'm sure there are a trillion ways. I'm taking suggestion if you have any!

A moment of silence please...

as I mourn the loss of the Lakers Championship to the Boston Celtics.

Better luck next year, guys.

Tracey Locher, Designer Extraordinaire!

Isn't this GORGEOUS?!!! My goodness, my mouth is watering and that's just the back of the book!

So, I have this thing for mini albums, y'know. I love 'em. Luv, luv, Love! The more stuff you can cram into them the better. When it comes to my own scrapbooking, I'm very conservative...but when it comes to admiring others, I'm attracted to something totally different, and this is definitely calling my name!


Tracey did it again. She designed this beautiful album and is teaching a class on it June 30th at Ever After in Carlsbad, CA. Unfortunately, I'm about two hours away from her or I'd be taking this class! (I don't know what I'd do with the book....guess I'd have to get married). I am so impressed by Tracey's talents and I want to share it with everyone! Check out her post on her blog about the class and view more pictures of this adorable book.
