Over Night Crop

My first LO of the day/night. I've been here since about 3 and this is all I've completed and I think I'm the only one in my square (there are five of us sitting in a square formation) that's actually completed a LO. We've been talking, laughing and eating of course..more on that in a sec. This LO is for Aaron's first day of school...Sixth grade here he comes:) He's rather excited about it and I'm happy.

I've been wanting to stamp on a LO for a while, and when I tried it...it acted rather wonky. I wanted the No 1 to be stamped in a chalky white and it just vanished on the paper. So my walnut distressed ink had to work. I added a little glimmer to it for a little umph. LOL


I'm love the Crate Paper "School Spirit Collection" Grade card paper. I've been stretching it, trying to make it last.


Most of the products used on this LO is Pink Paislee's Daily Junque (house of three). The journaling sheet is Making Memories spiral journaling book the Just Chillin' Boy collection.

Now on to the food...rather this one particular cupcake:)


This cupcake was THE.SINGLE.MOST.GREATEST.CUPCAKE.EVER.com whew!! The icing was just simply perfect, not too sweet and tasted just like that lime sherbert icecream..just yummo.


And may I add they are ALL gone:(


Ok, back to my scrap happy work. I'll be back in a few, hopefully with a couple of cards and LO's. That's if I don't fall asleep first.


Happy Crafting...I know I am:)

I Scrapped!!

See what can happen when you begin to pack for a crop:) I actually scrapped three simple LO's. I went into my studio only to pack for my overnight crop and I ended up creating not one BUT three LO's.

This LO is actually 2 years overdue, I've not yet scrapped our Gaitlingburg, TN trip from 2009. I've really gotta do so speedy work because Aaron is asking to go back to TN soon.


And for this LO, I made time to play with my polymer clay.



The crackle finish didn't quite crackle, but I will test other crackle products to figure which ones work better on polymer clay.
