Dream Big Cre8tions

Such fun, such fun, heading to Vegas for a couple of days this week for Pragmatic Marketing Training, so I'm working on getting the house cleaned up tonight, so I don't have to deal with it when I get home. I'm really not in the mood to iron and pack, much less clean house. I'm hoping to catch up with a couple of friends while I'm gone, but I'm not sure how much time I'll have.  Saturday was crop day at Scrapbook Paradise...It was great, 12 hours of scrapbooking. I'm still working on my Christmas cards and tried something new with the snowflakes I've changed the snowflakes by adding some cellophane to give them some depth and reflection without getting them too thick, since they have to be mailed. I'm happy with the results, the only thing I think I'm going to change on the cards, is I'm going to purchase white shimmer paper for the top of the card to give more of a snowy feel. I also worked on some birthday cards which turned out p

I can hardly believe that fall is arriving this week. It seems like summer just began. The weather is turning cooler, (although they're predicting low 90's for mid-week here in Reno) especially in the evenings. I love leaving the windows open and letting the coolness into the condo. Days are getting shorter. At work we are prepping for G2E (Global Gaming Expo). All signs of fall. The next few weeks are going to be busy, with a couple of multi-day trips to Las Vegas (including G2E) and preparing for Scrapbook Camp. Last weekend I spend a day scrapbooking at Tawn's house. I got some fun things accomplished. This the is Thanksgiving card I made for the Crop Chocolate Recipe Challenge #8....after I got home, I decided the turkey needed something, so I got out my stickles and gave his tail a little pizazz. I also worked on a birthday card, it was intended for a friend's son, but I think it's a little juvenile for him, so I save it and make another card for the t

Happy Labor Day Everyone! I can't believe summer is ending, it seems like it just started. I didn't get to do all the traveling I wanted this summer, and took an unexpected trip. September and October are already shaping up to be very busy months.  Friday night, I hit the Rib Cook-Off and picked up ribs for dinner for the entire weekend....My favorites are still Bone Daddy's, but gotta say Bourbon Q has grown on me, their sauce is a little sweet, not quite enough fire though. I celebrated the holiday by driving over to Sacramento on Saturday to visit my second favorite scrapbook store - Green Tangerines...my favorite of course being my LSS - Scrapbook Paradise. I can usually find the newest lines previewed at GT and then I ask SP to order what I like. I spent a little too much money, but after the past couple of weeks, I needed to treat myself. The drive over the mountains was pretty and went smoothly, even through the road-construction zones. I got some ideas for my Chr
