WooHoo! Got some bargains today! Cricut "Wild Card" cartridge for $24. Cricut "Summer in Paris" cartridge (only 27 images) for $12. And a pack of 300 blank cards (Super Value Pack) in random colors for $5.60.
I"ve had my Cricut for a few years now and only had the cartridge that came with it. Now I have 3! Yippee! |

Just started making my own fabric embellies!
Use some scrap paper, put a layer of adhesive (ATG or snail, those types) on it. Then, stick the fabric on that (I got a TON of fabric scraps from my mom who is a quilter). I have an original Sizzix but any die cutting machine will work- probably not cricut, have not tried using punches but those might snag fabric also. But if you have a Big shot, Cuttlebug or something like that, it will probably work. And cut out shapes using your dies.

I went to the one of the local thrift stores today and found something that somewhat resembled the stand for Clipitup. I have been wanting a Clipitup for years but never wanted to fork out the bucks for it. So, I picked up this gadget. It's from Partylite, which is a candle business. It appears to be this:

But without the glass lamp shade. Got it for 35 cents. I remembered seeing a DIY blog about making your own Clipitup knock off and found it after a google search:

I already have those baby clothes pins and paper clips at home.... so now I am making the clips for my DIY Clipitup! Wahoo! |

Sorry I keep posting cards but it's what I've been doing instead of making scrapbook pages. At least it's the same materials and techniques!

I need to clear out my small apartment. Behind the cut are a bunch of lightly used stamps. Please make offers. :) [Feel free to delete if this is against the community rules - I checked and didn't see any rules against it.]

Joann.com has a 2 day free shipping with code freeship88. Also, on their scrapbooking clearance section they have tons of brads, eyelets, and sticker embellies for .90 cents!! I have tons of brads and eyelets already or else I would stock up right now. Enjoy!
I forbade myself from buying any more scrappy stuff this month because I already spent quite a bit. I got a $30 order from Stampin Up and it was only a 11 1 inch square stamp pad set in varying colors and some dimensionals (foam pop up double stick things). |

Rather than cards or fun bargains I bought, I finally have some scrapbooking pages to post! This is a set I did for a Vegas trip from 2009.

My friend and I were lucky enough to visit the ship the "Bounty" last summer. I took lots of photos and have some scrapbooking to do. But in the meantime, I bought a 12" frame designed to hold a 12" scrapbook page. So I did this page and framed it for my friend.
I did the journaling using my artist program on the computer, and a scroll design to hold it. Once it was printed out, I used chalk to give it that antique look. The title was cut out with my Cricut. I mounted the photos on two different shades of purple so they would stand out better on the lighter purple main page.
