I made up a few different backgrounds and posted them on Facebook to see if anyone wanted to do a Jam with me that maybe hadn’t tried one yet.  The more the merrier that’s what I say!  This is the second set of backgrounds I posted.  I’ve had one person sign up for these, but we’re still looking for a third.  If you’d like to JAM with us, please let me know!   Supplies:white cardstock (80lb) from Stampin Up, inked with Pumpkin Pie and Summer Sun from SU! stamped with…

Another crazy week has passed.  I swear I have no idea where the days go, one moment I’m waking up the next I’m going to bed.  I don’t remember hardly anything going on in between.  Really, I’m getting old.   LOL…  No, REALLY! I took the entire week OFF from work, just because the kids were out of school for fall break AND it twas meh birfday!   Did my loving hubs get me a birthday cake, no.  Did he make me a birthday cake, umm…no.  Did I have my cake…

I made up a few different backgrounds and posted them on Facebook to see if anyone wanted to do a Jam with me that maybe hadn’t tried one yet.  The first set I posted were these guys.  Very similar to the Halloween Jam cards I did for my swap with Amber and Jennifer (I thought I had post those already, will post them tomorrow since I HAVEN’T).  These are being Jammed by myself Mindi and Shannon, both are NM girls, how fun! For Supplies on this one:the paper is 7gypsies…

Here’s another installment of this months PiP project! Last week I did the covers, cut some dividers, and began planning out the logistics of the pages and the calendar. I ended up adding a little inking to the edges of the covers.  My thinking is this thing is going to get USED so it’s going to get a little dirty.  Inking it up now, will help “hide” any dirt or smudges that get on it in the future… I went ahead and inked the pockets, too. I adhered the pockets…

It’s finally hit, my holiday havoc syndrome!  I love the holidays, no matter what else you may hear me say!  Been sitting here thinking about the Christmas tree, and Trick or Treating! Great combo!  Love all the colors and creating that happens over the holiday, so many possibilities!  Being as its on my mind, I’ve decided to host an impromptu HALLOWEEN THEME call! Simply upload your HALLOWEEN themed creations: Scrapbooking, Cards, Crafts, whatever – digi, paper, or hybrid, WHATEVER!  I would love to see em!  So show em to me,…
