My husband and I never had any sons. We were blessed with girls. Ü Back in August of 2004, though, we had a very special young man come into our lives and he has been apart of our family ever since. I've always thought of him as the son I never had. Two months ago, he and his beautiful wife welcomed their first little one, a baby girl named Brooklyn. I made the following card and album for her. </div>

So there it is. I actually finished it the beginning of December, but you know my life is nuts right now, so I am just getting around to posting it. Oh, and sorry about the obnoxious "The Avid Scrapper 2012" on all the pages. I don't normally like doing that but I get so many emails from kind people telling me that someone else is using my images, so I finally broke down and decided I better start "marking" the images of my work.<br />
<br />
Working on some other baby items for loved ones, so stay tuned for them... Ü<br />
<br />
Hope your week has been Happy and Scrappy! Ü<br />

<br />
2010 and especially 2011 taught me a very important lesson; to always have an attitude of gratitude. Gratitude is necessary and it literally heals us. I really put it to the test last year and became a different person. I found that when I began listing all of my blessings, my attitude changed, my out look on life changed and I began to feel instantly content and at peace, no matter the chaos going on around me. I began to write in a "Gratitude Journal" each evening, just simply listing all of the things I was grateful for that particular day. Of course my lists include, my Savior and His gift of the Atonement, my family, a loving husband who works hard to take care of his family, our girls, our home and so on. You know, the big, obvious ones. What really surprised me were all the things that I was grateful for that I normally took for granted: running water, microwave dinners, socks, my pillow, central heat, chocolate... all these little things help to give me a wonderful life! I have always felt blessed in my life, but when I wrote it all out in black and white, I came realize just how truly blessed I was and it was humbling.<br />
<br />
I decided that I wanted to share my new found healing tool with my mom and made her a gratitude journal for her birthday. (The perfect gift for the woman who has everything!) The quote I include with all of my journals is fantastic and says it all!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Crimson Text'; line-height: 33px;"><b><span style="color: #660000;">"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity.... It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow."<br />~Melodie Beattie</span></b></em>

<br />
Happy New Year, my fellow scrappers! Can you even believe that it is 2012? Never in my wildest dreams, did I ever believe I would be living in such a year. As a kid, 2012 meant space suits and flying cars, am I right? It's an amazing time to be alive! Ü<br />
<br />
I hope everyone's Christmas and holiday seasons were wonderful. Mine sure was. No stress and spent with the ones that I love. Perfection!<br />
<br />
I am not one for resolutions. I hate the guilt that I feel when March rolls around and I still haven't started on the list. But, this year I have made my mind up to enjoy each and every moment. To live in the moment and savor today. I found a great quote by unknown author:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 12px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b>"If you have one eye on yesterday, and one eye on tomorrow, you're going to be cockeyed today."</b></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 12px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 12px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 12px;"><br /></span></div>
I loved it and had to share. This has become my mantra for the year. So what about you? Any resolutions?<br />
<br />

This is it! This is the only Easter card I got made this Easter. Pathetic, isn't it? °Ü° </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One Saturday, I got all of my K&Co Spring supplies out ready to go. I had scrapper's block something terrible! My daughter, sat opposite the table from me and made 15 cards in the time it took me to create a layout and get this one little, simple card put together. I need less stress to craft, at the same time, scrapping and paper crafting help reduce my stress. It's a crazy cycle that requires balance. Right now... there is no balance, hence only one card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I miss scrapping and card making. I miss teaching my classes! I have so many ideas for projects and want to get to work on them, but don't have the time. I am still getting the house packed and doing last minute touch ups on it. I want it to be perfect and I am driving myself crazy (my husband and children, as well) I hope we get a serious buyer so we can get out of here and I can resume my crafting therapy in happiness and peace. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope you all had a wonderful Easter and Mother's Day. Mine were wonderful. And hey, school's almost out! Yippee! Looking forward to a productive summer, and more importantly, to 3 months of not having my alarm clock ring me awake at 4:15 each morning!</div>

Madness, I say!}<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Have you ever had a week, or a few weeks or even a month where things were so crazy that you couldn't even believe how crazy it was? That's been me since my last post.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is the quick run down of what's been going on:</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Sprinkler System is leaking...AGAIN. Just found a good handy man. Will call him later today.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Car is leaking fluids... mechanic fixing this weekend</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Under kitchen sink is leaking... plummer coming tomorrow</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Tore my living room apart cleaning and organizing and packing</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Tore my kitchen apart doing the same.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Dining room... ditto.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Celebrated 17th Wedding Anniversary by going to dinner and seeing the Lion King (This was a good thing!)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Ended up in ER with a hurt foot</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Someone tried to break into our house one morning at 1:30 am. He was caught and arrested. We are all fine except for a little paranoid at noises in the middle of the night.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">And finally, I am so far behind on just about everything I have wanted to do! °Ü°</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I smile, because regardless of all the madness that is our life right now, it is a blessed life and I am grateful for it.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyways, I have so many things that I would love to get posted and I clearly don't have time to sit and blog all the live long day (although, that would be a dream right now) so I thought I would share the card I made my hubby for Valentine's Day.</div>

He absolutely love it. He keeps it on his dresser. I made similar ones for our girls, but made the mistake of giving them to them before taking photos.

For those of you who blog, you know the work that goes into it. Especially a blog like this. True, I took most of last year off and this year is turning into a repeat of last year, and it's only March, but there is a good reason.</div><div><br /></div><div>I blog and I blog and hardly anyone comments! For those of you who share the love by leaving me a comment, THANK YOU! You absolutely make my day. With each of your comments, I think, "Yes! Someone is tuning in and it's worth it to keep going." So, again, my deepest appreciation. Seriously, it means the world to me. You keep me sharing this crazy craft with you.</div><div><br /></div><div>But the fact is... I have 153 followers. I get about 50-75 visits to this blog each day. I'd say 99.9% never leave a comment. You arrive, you read, your are inspired and you leave. :(</div><div><br /></div><div>I have a feedjit tracker. I can see what you are looking at. I see what pages and posts you read. I see when you single in on a photo and chances are... you are doing the carnal sin of lifting it! Please don't do that. I don't steal from you... please do not steal from me. If you want copies of my photos, write me. I will be glad to send them to you so that you can use them for inspiration. </div><div><br /></div><div>I was recently contacted by someone who said that someone had stolen some of my Disney pages and was using them on Google Search to link back to THEIR PAGE! It's a business, I guess. I have tried writing and get no response. I have recently contacted a lawyer and he is looking into it for me. I am nice girl, but don't mess with me... and don't steal my work to increase yours. </div><div><br /></div><div>A friend of mine, <a href="http://easleyclan.blogspot.com/2011/03/blogger-etiquette-post-aka-one-wherein.html">Alli</a>, recently posted Blog Etiquette rules on her blog. She got them from another blog, <a href="http://www.confessionsofacookbookqueen.com/">Confessions of a Cookbook Queen</a>. I give them both full credit for the rules and the inspiring me to post this. I loved what they wrote. It is exactly what I have been thinking for sometime now, and just haven't known how to put it into the right words. Thank you, Alli and Kristan. You are awesome! </div><div><br /></div><div>I am going to share these rules with you today. I learned a lot from them and have fixed those things I was doing wrong. I hope you will, too. May we all be better bloggers and readers for it. Oh, and, I hope to hear from more of you, more often. °Ü°</div><div><br /></div><div>Here we go...</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cardo; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; "><span style="font-size: medium; " ><b>1.

In the blogging world, cool is being who you are and loving yourself, perfections AND imperfections included.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; "><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; "><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; "><span style="font-size: medium; " ><b>2.</b> <b>Be good to your readers.

I cannot stress how important it is to never forget that fact. When my blog was barely a month old (and I had NO CLUE how to take a picture) I sent an email to <b><a href="http://www.bakerella.com/" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(85, 136, 170); ">Bakerella</a></b>. And she replied!! I cannot even express what that did for my morale. It was like meeting a celebrity, in a way. These days, I get quite a few emails myself and I can only imagine how full her inbox must have been. It makes the fact that she took the time to reply mean that much more.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; "><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; "><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; "><span style="font-size: medium; " ><b>3.

Bloggers thrive on comments. Our posts and pictures are the sunshine and water, but comments are the beautiful flowers that sprout up as the result of our hard work. If you have a blog, you know this better than anyone else. So when you visit a blog, do as you would have done unto you and leave a comment. I am very guilty of popping on various blogs and not commenting because I think that the blogger is so fabulous, they don't need to hear from me. But I should know better, and I am making a conscious effort to leave a comment after every visit.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; "><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; "><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; "><span style="font-size: medium; " ><b>4.

But to use that friendship as a way of impressing people is just tacky. This isn't high school and you weren't invited to hang out with the head cheerleader.

As I was going through all of my paper, I pulled out "The Green Stack" by DCWV. The paper is made from 70% recycled paper. I hadn't used a sheet of it yet and thought, "Yeah! This will work." I also had the chipboard images to go with it, which helped to cut down on Cricut time, so win, win! °Ü° </div><div><br /></div><div>As you can see, I basically used the same layout for each of the cards. I just switched which side the scalloped frame was on and then made multiples of some of the cards. This helped to keep it simple and quick. I used chipboard on all of them but the owls. Those I cut using the Sentimentals Cricut cart. The owls that came with the stack were adorable, but I didn't think my recipients would know they were owls because they are so different looking. </div><div><br /></div><div>These were lots of fun to create and I have to tell you that I LOVED the texture of the paper. It's amazing. Feels almost like there is some plastic of something it. It's sturdy and so easy to work with. I highly recommend it to everyone!</div>The Avid Scrapperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16721598684683964921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688088774340498573.post-8541060821631971222011-01-19T06:40:00.000-08:002011-01-19T06:48:08.068-08:00{Sweet Birthday Cards}<div>My oldest daughter was born on my birthday and we always have so much fun sharing the day together.

I used the Storybook cart and cut 30 of those little bushels. I then cut a 3.5" circle and glued down just the tips of them going around in circles. Of course, I inked them all before doing that. I also used 3 different colors of green to give it a realistic look. I glued down tiny jingle bells and a bow. Red Stickles were used for the holly berries. I inked and distressed the edges. Used a gold book plate and stamped "Noel" and then stickled it. 3 pearls and some ribbon and I had surprised myself with this card! :)<div><div><br /></div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" >ALL IMAGES PROPERTY OF THE AVID SCRAPPER</span></i></div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" >COPYRIGHT 2010</span></i></div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" >PLEASE DO NOT COPY</span></i></div></div>The Avid Scrapperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16721598684683964921noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688088774340498573.post-39807549188071276942010-11-05T17:17:00.001-07:002010-11-05T17:25:02.120-07:00{Thank You Card}<div>My daughter has an amazing drawing teacher at school.

This is only the second time this has happened and I was excited and nervous all at the same time. </div><div><br /></div><div>It really is a great blog!

At the same time, I realize not everyone has the time to create their own with all the working going on! So, I will be creating some 12x12 layouts AND I am dropping the price from $26 to $22 for each. ($20 is for the layout, $2 goes to covering my sales fees) I am hoping that this will help with building your albums and help me with sales. Win-Win... yes? °Ü°</div><div><br /></div><div>Here is the first of many of have in the works. It's been a while since I worked on a baby page.

How cute is Hello Kitty? I have had a fascination with her since I was 7 or 8. There is just something about that little face of her that draws you in and hooks you! :D</div>

I think this is the first Hello Kitty spread I have finished. I am so excited about the way these pages turned out! Rarely do I plan layouts and have them turn out exactly as I saw them in my mind. A rare phenomenon, I tell you! °Ü°</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Again, this is one of my "freedom" pages, because as you will notice, no photo mats. This gives you the choice of 5x7 down to the smallest photos you can imagine. PLUS, you can arrange them any way you choose. I love that! ♥</div>

Here is the piece that ties the two pages together. It is shimmery and also has glitter spots on it. It need some more BLING so I outlined it with more than 50 black gem stones. I love the effect.</div>

So, on the Hello Kitty Cricut cart, there isn't a Hello Kitty witch like this one. They do have one, but it wasn't the one I imagined when planning the pages. This hat is found on the Happy Hauntings cart and so I cut it and attached to Hello Kitty's head. I can't believe how cut it is. It looks like it was designed just for her!</div>

She also is a journaling tag! Yes, just pull her hat up and she pulls out to reveal a spot for journaling. Her hands stay put and the tag is attached so that when you slide her back in, her chin fits nicely over the paper.</div>

The papers are all a little different, which brings great texture to the pages. There is heavy card stock, shimmer paper, glitter card stock and textured card stock. </div>

This was such a fun page to create! Can't wait to get more done! </div>

I have started scrapping my pages with a little freedom built into them. What do I mean by this? Well, as you can see, there are no photo mats. When you create a page using no distinct photo mats, it gives you room to play with photos later. You can add 5x7s, 4x6s or lots of 4x4s or 3x3s and the best part of all? You can add a variation of all sizes. Add as many or few as you would like. It is a freedom I have come to love about designing this way. Be honest, what do you think about it?</div>

The mummy is so thick! All of the characters are. There is tons of layering that make up each image. making them sturdy. I cut extra layers for the mummy so he would have that genuine wrapped look. I also used Stickles for his eyes and black spots, which gives the glitter look I was going for. The spider web behind him is accented with a silver glitter gel pen and the spider is cut from faux suede paper and popped up for dimension. He has glitter eyes, too.</div>

Journaling frame. It is actually 2 frames layered one on top of the other. The bottom one has white glitter that shines through the edges of the smaller, upper frame. Now that I look at it, I think it needs gems with I will go in and put on. Don't you think? I love the little pumpkin. He's a bit different but certainly fits in with this crowd.</div>

I love tulle and I think it looks great with Halloween decor! Plus I think it brings the feminine touch the pages needs. The little "button" has a 31 on it.</div>

Here's Frank. I love his expression. He is so not impressed! Again, I used Stickles for his eyes and the white V part of his neck. His bolts are cut from brushed metal looking paper. I also cut extra pieces so that there was a distinction between his shirt, pants and shoes.</div>

I think she looks ghoulishly-fabulous! °Ü° I added some purple chalk to her hair and her famous white stripe is decorated with glitter (Stickles). He dress was cut from spider web paper, but was a little boring so I took my glitter gel pen and traced the web to give her some more sparkle!</div>

My oldest takes after my love of crafting and painting, and my youngest takes after my love for writing, drawing and journaling. <div><br /></div><div>My oldest, Kylie, loves making cards and I envy her ability to create them so easily! I am a product of the 80's. Everything was very matchy-matchy and symmetrical. It is how I dressed, arranged the furniture in my room, it was in everything I did in Jr. High and High School and it is pretty much the same for me today. I am sure some of you have picked up that little fact in my pages! For Kylie, crafting, scrapbooking and card making is more care-free. She is really an artsy person. She is a photographer and sees the world a bit differently than most. (BTW, I wish I had just an ounce of her photography talent, too!) Anyways, back the cards, she has got a jump on her card making for the season and here are her first 5 Halloween cards. I just loved them and had to share them with you. Hope you are inspired, I know I am. Now maybe all the cute Halloween paper sitting here next to me can get put to some good use!</div><div><br /></div><div>Happy Scrappin' °Ü°</div>The Avid Scrapperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16721598684683964921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688088774340498573.post-53451865211692065122010-10-01T09:54:00.001-07:002010-10-11T14:09:32.710-07:00{TP Roll Halloween Brag Book}<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hmfWy1aur-E/TKYbder9AaI/AAAAAAAADIo/VsIlq2UvDDw/s1600/IMG_9229.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hmfWy1aur-E/TKYbder9AaI/AAAAAAAADIo/VsIlq2UvDDw/s400/IMG_9229.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523132186284065186" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><u><br /></u></span></div><div>Yes, you read the title right. TP, as in toilet paper. I made the above brag book out of toilet paper rolls. Crazy, huh? A couple of months ago my daughter Kylie was surfing the web for new album ideas and she found someone who made these little albums. She made the most adorable one for a friend and I fell in love with it and the idea. I've wanted to make one ever since. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm not sure I've ever said this, but I am a Bo Bunny-a-holic. I love all things Bo Bunny. I think they are an amazing company who get's today's crafter and makes a product that is loveable, useable and reasonable. A few weeks back, I bought the Bo Bunny <span class="Apple-style-span">WHOO-LIGANS</span> line. It's been sitting on the corner of my scrap desk just staring me down and waiting to see what I will create with all of it! °Ü° I do have plans for it, but I thought it would make the perfect little TP album given that I wouldn't be using a ton of it.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, I gathered it all together, and my TP rolls, 5 of them. First, I took the rolls and flattened them out really good.</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hmfWy1aur-E/TKYTmspPPcI/AAAAAAAADIQ/_CP2JXCcjYk/s1600/IMG_9215.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hmfWy1aur-E/TKYTmspPPcI/AAAAAAAADIQ/_CP2JXCcjYk/s400/IMG_9215.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523123548556574146" /></a><br /></div><div>Don't worry if they aren't totally flat, because as you can see from the pic they don't go completely flat until you paint them. I didn't get any pics of that part of the process, but I just took some black acrylic paint and and brushed it on each roll, first one side letting it dry and then the other. Once they were completely dry, I smashed them flat and they cooperated! </div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hmfWy1aur-E/TKYTiWQP2tI/AAAAAAAADII/C0VYqq9NXdI/s1600/IMG_9218.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hmfWy1aur-E/TKYTiWQP2tI/AAAAAAAADII/C0VYqq9NXdI/s400/IMG_9218.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523123473826699986" /></a><br /></div><div>Now that that part was over with, it was time for the fun part... creating!

I <span class="Apple-style-span">♥</span> it! Plus, it's an easy and fast project. Took me about 4 hours, but now that I know what I am doing, I am pretty sure that I can get the next one done in under 3.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>So, let me know what you think about it; Weird?
