My Scrappy Classes

I have been having a BLAST doing my on-line classes! 6 classes so far! Come join me on UStream - Sunday August 22, 2010 at 8:30 CST right here - http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pocket-mini-album and if you go to that page you will be able to see the previous classes too!!

Here's the class I did last night - http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/8957034 I created 3 Wall hangings in 90 minutes! They are so easy!

Here's one of 3 that I did... check out my adorable model! She was having a hard time keep it straight and keeping it still - lol

So, other than that... we are getting ready for a party this weekend. Out last one was 4 years ago! Let's see... No kids + lots of friends + booze = lots of crazy pics ;) My hubby is so awesome, he pressure washed the deck and stained it... bought a mosquito magnet and a NEW GRILL!!! I can't wait to cook on that bad boy!

2 weeks and 2 days until school starts - YIPEE!! While summer has been great and I thoroughly have enjoyed spending time with them... THEY GOTTA GO! haha. Well, only 2 are going to be full time, but that will help ;) I'll be saying the opposite in 2 months from now!

Scrap ON!!!

Just a few of my favorite things...

Here's the class I will be teaching on Sunday. I will be using the FABULOUS Summer Wonderland Kit and you can join in the fun at 8:30 CST on August 15th, 2010 and if you are logged in you can even win a prize!






I will be using Helmar's crackle medium.... SO cool!!



Here's another example... I did not use the crackle on this though.



Another of my favorite things... My Birthday!!! Yeppers, on August 1st, it was my b-day :) And my family went to Mitchell Park for a photo shoot. We did it last year and I think 2 years before that. I am loving my new camera :) :) :)

This card and LO I created in my last class. You can view the class here: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/8814171 it's FREE!! I created a LO and card within an hour!

OH!!! I love this one :) I brought home some Cricut Imagine glasses from CHA and the kids went NUTTSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They totally had a blast with the glasses! you can check out the Helmar blog for details on the Helmar Adhesives I used :)

Make sure you have a great day!

Hello world!

Hello blog, Hello people!!!

Last week was my first on-line class and I think it went pretty well :) You can see it here. I am going to be having another class tomorrow, Sunday, July 19th, 2010 and you can read all the info about it here! At the end of my video, I show the Cat's Meow Layout that I will be creating tomorrow. Here is another version of that same layout:


Oh! And I do want to mention quickly that if you are interested in the Sprinkle of Whimsy Kit that I used in last week's class I only have 5 kits left.... only ONE Add-On and only ONE Alpha Add-On! You can view all the wonderfullness here :)

And I would like to share a few of my favorite items I have been working on since I last dropped in! I used the Scrap-Tacular Kit to create this card:
I can't remember if I shared this here... I created this one for the Helmar blog hop using Urban Lily Papers!

I used Bella Blvd to create this card... I also used Helmar's V2 Vellum Adhesive to adhere the glitter on the flower paper.

OH! And my recent favorite :) I used lots of Helmar and Prima here ;)

OUT FOR PUBLICATION

I did this one for the "MyStamp Box" blog hop :)

Hope you are all having a MOST wonderful summer :)

Quickie!

Here's a quick sneakie peekie of Scrap-Tastic's July's Kit! I used the Ki and the Add-On kit to create this beautiful Layout!

See ya'll soon :)

What a week!

Wow, what a week... I really should blog more often - lol!

Here's a little sneakie peek at what I created for Cassidy's dance teacher using papers from Scrap-Tastic's June Kit!

And here is the BIG cut! As mentioned in my last post, I was taking Caytlynn to get her hair cut and she donated her beautiful hair to Locks of Love :)

After the BIG cut, I turned to look at her and she had short hair for the first time since she was an infant. My jaw dropped to the floor and I put my hand over my mouth as I gasped loudly! Tear came to my eyes and I told myself I would not cry - OOPS! just couldn't help it! She looks great though, so grown up! FYI - if you live in the southern part of WI, we had this done at Steven Edwards Color Group salon in New Berlin. They cut her hair for free and even sent it in for us! Most places don't cut for free, but this is the only place that I have heard of that actually sends it in for you!

Friday night I attended a Zumba Jam at Preferred Fitness - SO MUCH FUN!!!! Can you tell I was having a great time??? lol

Here's Dina "mopping" the floor, it was hot and sticky, just the way it should be ;)

Sunday was Cassidy's Dance Recital :) Take a good look at that gap between Caytlynn's front teeth... it's bigger than the space where another tooth needs to come in - can you say braces? eeek!

My little Cali Bear! I dressed her up because I wanted her to know she is special too :)

My dear Cassidy! How cute is she?!?!?!

My mini me and me :)

I realized after the fact that I didn't get any pictures of the boys... Cullen and Corey, but they were there along with my MIL and BIL Chad :)

Ok, Now onto my day, today... Cleaned this morning. Also watched LOST while doing laundry.

Corey and I repaired some of his jeans with some Helmar Adhesives... he helped! He is an over adherer - LOL! pics to come, for sure.

My neighbor is moving so we scheduled today to get together and do cappuccinos... she was running late, then my steamer was clogged and wasn't working at first. fixed that, so I feel as though we didn't really get to talk between the espresso maker giving me problems and Cali waking up and kids wanting snacks and such. I had a hair apt, so I kinda had to kick her out. Got my hair done, it has blond highlights again - YEA!!! Corey asked when I was going back to blond and I told him when he pays - lol! So he did - double yea!!!

I picked up a few things from the grocery store for Cassidy's B-day treat for school tomorrow. Gosh, I can't believe she will be 6! Picked up Qudoba for Corey and me. Got home with 5 minutes to eat as much as I could of my yummy burrito before taking Cullen to his pee-school for Mother's Day tea party. They were so cute! I am so proud of Cullen. He has never been much of a singer, but the words that he did know, he belted them out! And inbetween each song I would hold up my hands so he could see and clap for him. And inbetween EVERY song he would say "mom" with a big smile on his face and wave to me. He even turned to his buddy Braden a few times and gave him a big hug too - SO CUTE!

Meanwhile Corey is making the treats for Cassidy at home - OMG!! See the pics below, these are priceless! This first pic is his batch

And this is my batch - LMAO!

Even though it was raing and cold, I had an awesome day! I hope you did too!

Happy hump day!

Today's the day!

I have been putting this off for long enough! Caytlynn has wanted to donate her hair to locks of love for some time now. I am the one that is having a hard time parting with her beautiful long hair! I told her that we would get it cut after her first communion and, well, that was last weekend. I took a lot for me to make the phone call, but I did it! Now to have the strength to take her in - lol! I will have pictures soon :)

My latetest project - you can read all about the adhesives I used here, on the Helmar Blog!


Check out this! This is a Cricut Expression Machine! Wouldn't you like to get one?? I would! Cricut is giving one of these away on their blog. Check it out here.

Happy Wednesday!

Here it is in all it's glory, the Decadent Dreams Kit! This is such an amazing kit! It was designed my Glenda Tkalac and she did an excellent job! Click on the image to purchase the kit and click here to see detailed images of the kit as well as the full product list! Add-On alphas available for 30% off with the purchase of the kit too!


Yesterday was quite the day! Caytlynn received her first holy communion :) Doesn't she look like an angel?

Then we had all the relatives over for a party celebrating Caytlynn's 1st communion AND Cullen and Cassidy's birthday! It was beautiful out despite a little wind.

Here's Caytlynn with her Great Grandma. This will be a picture treasured forever!

And after all the presents were opened, food and cake was eaten and a tiny nap, I headed over to Dana's house warming party! Thinking I was only going to stay for a drink or two, how foolish of me. This picture was taken at 2am - lol!

What a fun, but exhausting day! And I have so many things in the works.... lots of practical AND fun stuff :)

Be sure to check out my baby wall hanging at the Helmar blog!

Happy Sunday!

Weathered & Still Holding Strong!

No, not me ;) Although that's the way I feel most days - lol! Last summer I noticed that my bird house had a few pieces of glass that fell off, so I adhered them on with Helmar's 450. Forgot about it until yesterday when I noticed there were more pieces missing.... different ones, not the ones I fixed last year. Unfortunately, 2 pieces are no where to be found.... I'll have to go break a mirror ;) I think it's called 450 because there's 450 MILLION uses for this glue! Try it for yourself, you'll love it! You can buy it at Scrap-Tastic here for 10% off!

Here's a sneak peek of a layout using Scrap-Tastic's May kit, Decadent Dreams - so yummy!! Lots of Prima goodies!

And a few other items in the kit. You will have to wait another week to see it all - hee hee :)

Rock On and I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Here's a wall hanging I made for a friend :) Made with the FABULOUS Helmar Adhesives, of course!!!

The Zapdots add awesome dimension!

Another update coming soon!!!

Hello Spring!

Ok, so it's not THAT warm yet here in Wisconsin, but the colors in the Hello Spring Kit just scream SPRING!
And here is what I created with some of the items from the Hello Spring kit:

Do you see the blue background? That is adhered to the back side of the Build-A-Book acrylic page! And can you guess what I used to adhere it??? Helmar's V2 Vellum Adhesive! I sprayed the V2 on the blue paper, let it sit for 5 minutes and then placed the Build-A-Book acrylic page to it. It does NOT make the paper look cloudy or even show the adhesive at all! The rest of the elements were placed on top side of the acrylic. I like doing this to add depth to my projects :) That, along with Helmar's Zapdots, really makes this project dimensional. I used the Zapdots on the cloud and the owl. The Alphas are Add-Ons for the Hello Spring Kit. When you purchase the kit you will receive 30% off the alphas!

And for those of you that don't like double-sided paper.... the blue (background) is the back side of the green (grass) that I used!!!! Check out the paper here :)

I hope you all have a MOST wonderful week!!!

Becky

Some of the papers

A door hanging I made for my mom

And a few peeks of Nat's LOs!!

I am so proud of my girls... they BOTH took 1st place in the most creative fun float!!! I gave them a few rhinestones and then the only other thing I helped with was cutting a flower for Cassidy. They both came up with their own ideas and did their own thing! Here they are with their fun floats, certificates and 1st place ribbons :)

And my gorgeous Caytlynn :) Once and a while I capture her essence and here it is!

Scrap On!
