SOC Christmas in July Blog Hop: Day 3

Simple, Sweet and Thoughtful Random Christmas Thoughts... I've been a baker and cake decorator for over 30 years. One thing I really need all the time are oven mitts and pot holders. So guess what? My sister and son gave me oven mitts and pot holders 2 years in row. I don't require or expect much and I would rather have what I need rather than dust collectors.  I've always taught my children that when you give a person a gift; it should be practical and thoughtful. Never give a gift just for the sake of giving a gift nor should you give a gift with the purpose of establishing brownie points. Baking and decorating cakes are my specialty; at least it was before I started scrapbooking full time. Below are pages that have been included in on a CD of random Christmas memories. "Hip Hip Hooray" Layout 1 & 2 This Layout is also made with non traditional colors and shares the not only my thankfulness for my new pot holders and oven mitts; but...

SOC Christmas in July Blog Hop: Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of the SOC "Christmas in July" Blog Hop Today and Tomorrow, I'll be sharing pages from an ongoing project of creating a random Christmas pages; of which I will also put on DVD to give to my family as gifts.  After I began scrapbooking full time and started showing books and cards to my family members and friends; they all wanted their own books. I did that for a while, and then I started to get behind on projects for my clients and personal projects. CHRISTMAS DVD COVERS Purchase a package of sturdy DVD sleeves or you can spend a little more and purchase the plastic DVD jewel cases. I choose to use the paper sleeves. I used 12 x 12 solid cardstock layers to make the sleeves more sturdy. I also used patterned 12x12 in non traditional colors; because that's how I roll (LOL). I Inked the edges just to tone down the white sleeves so that it would blend with the black and and gold better. You ay be wondering what the "70" is all ab...

Scraps of Color "Christmas in July" Blog Hop: Day 1

My Christmas in July 2013 My Pink Journey CHRISTMAS IN JULY: DAY 1 One Sunday night (I guess it was actually early Monday morning) in July, I had a bad case of insomnia and was fooling around on eBay.  I saw that there was a bid on a new Pink Journey Cricut Expression Bundle that was about to end and the price was like 40 bucks. I was like; No way. The Bundle included 3 cartridges; one of which was the Pink Journey Champagne Rose Solution cartridge. So, I bid $56 and won the bid.  That was such a great deal simply because the Pink Journey cartridge sells for about that; at least on eBay.  Below is the layout that I created to commemorate the purchase LAYOUT 1 Solid Cardstock is Recollections Patterned Paper is Stampin Up!

What is your color?

    Mrs. Pink1 I recently goggled the meaning of the color pink because a cashier admired my pink billfold matched my pink cell phone case which also matched my pink painted toenails. He said "you look very pretty in pink; I bet it's your favorite color..." Pink is my power color. I had no idea what my favorite colors meant.       I must say the the below description and explanations of pink are very true of my personality; most of the time... PURPLE SIDE takes over!  Variations of the Color Pink Blush:  Similar to skin color, this very pale pink has sensual and sexual connotations. It is non-threatening but lacks passion and energy. Rose Pink:  This is the pink of universal love and unity. It is mature, feminine and intuitive. Salmon Pink:  There is a touch of orange in salmon pink. It encourages the flirt, and can be a sign of the timid lover, all talk and no play. Orchid:  This is a...
