Scrapin' in Sun Valley....Here I come!!!

I leave tomorrow morning (at 4:30 a.m. !!!! to get to the airport) and I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight. I am all packed, just need to throw my toiletries in and I am ready in the morning. I have over 32 pages planned and if I complete all of them I will have Colin's album done to the point of NOW! I am extremely excited about that! So I will post pictures when I get back. This will be the most luggage I have ever taken on a plane trip. When I was in Rainbow I was taught to take only what I want to carry so I know how to pack light...let me rephrase...I know how to get a lot of junk in ONE suitcase! Now I have 1 carry on suitcase and one check on and I upgraded my purse to "tote"size...good thing huge purses are in right now! Hope you all have a great weekend, I know I will!!!

It's been a while....

I have been so busy!! I decided to go back to school...in the summer....and take THREE classes! I really don't know what I was thinking! I didn't even get to do a card making class this month! I hope to do two next month. Next Thursday I will be heading to Sun Valley Idaho to scrap with an awesome woman named Destinae! I met her through AC Bailey and I am so excited to go scrap with her!

I haven't had much time to scrap but I did my recipe card box and a set of cards. I need to order a stamp set which is why they look unfinished.These will be the cards for the next card class.

1. What do you think makes a good friend, or friendship?

My brain must really be fried I cannot think of anything to say here......Need sleep..and a massage.... 

2. What is the last thing you bought & later regretted?

Hmmm..can't really think of anything...wow maybe I shouldn't have answered these questions today.

3. Have you ever had a prank played on you?

I'm sure I have....don't really remember. Ok seriously, sorry if you are reading this, I think my brain has turned to mush with school and work right now.

4. What is your favorite theme park?

I love all theme parks!

5. Have you ever seen someone else give birth?

Nope, and they wouldn't even give me a mirror to watch my own because my husband at the time was a wuss.

Questions for Friday, May 28th: (Special thanks to Lorilynne, Erin, Sandy, Kyrsten, and Renee for their question suggestions!

1. Is there something you've always wanted to try but just can't muster up the courage to actually do yet?

Yes I want to try hang gliding. They have an area near Albuquerque but I have not looked into it yet. Of course I am so accident prone when I do stuff like that, I would probably break something.

2. If you had $100 handed to you in cash without your significant other knowing about it, what would you spend it on?

DUH! You have to ask? SCRAPBOOK stuff!!

3. What was your favorite piece of playground equipment as a child?

At Mt. Taylor Elementary there was this big wooden playground with a bridge that swung back and forth and tire swings. I loved it!!

4. Do you prefer a sweet or hearty breakfast?

I would rather have eggs, bacon, tortillas, potatoes, yummy. Ok I am hungry now...

5. Are you a Neat Freak or a Messy Bessy?

At work I am a neat freak. At home not so much as long as it's clean. I would rather relax when I get home not make sure everything is perfect!

Spring into Summer Blog Hop

If you came here from Lisa, Welcome!! Isn't her gift card holder card amazing? I will definitely be scraplifting that one for all my graduation cards I will be making this week! If you found me on your own why don't you hop on over to the Paper...Talk...Scissors when you are done here?

I decided to show you all a really easy water color technique.

You will need Staz on, colored pencils, blending stumps, a dry body oil (do NOT use baby oil), and of course some really cute stamps that you would like to color in.

1. Stamp your image using the Staz On.
2. Take your colored pencil and color a dark line around the edge of the image.
3. Dip your blending stump in the oil and scrap the excess off on the top of the oil bottle. You don't want a lot of oil on your blending stump. Trace the colored pencil line that you made, and then start blending the color into the middle. Repeat until you get desired color. You can always use different colors. I do this a lot in my flowers.

That is it! Easy right?

Please leave a comment, and I would love to see what you create with this technique! There will be an RAK for one lucky commenter!!
