cards I've made lately.

So, I'm bummed, I didn't get that job I really wanted.  Now I have to stay at the suckfest temp job for the next couple (maybe few) weeks.  What a bummer.  I'll be applying to any and every job I can from now on, though.  Wish me luck.  
I will participate in a lot of scrap therapy these next few weeks....  I also got another baby book job.  
Kind of like the one I did a couple months ago.  
It will be fun.  Back to baby stuff for a while.

I gave my friend, Jose, a card on Saturday, for his birthday:

 

Here's a card I made for my friend, Tobe.


Here's my big sister's birthday card:


This is a 1st birthday card I made for my friend's little one:

some more pages..... (blanking on a clever blog title!)

So.... I've got to get better at creating catchy titles for my posts.

I created a couple pages for my 2007 scrapbook.

I'm in LOVE with this one:


This one is a pocket page.  I have to find the other invitation to go in the pocket.


This one's fun.  I LOVE pink and brown and white.  Makes me think of neopolitan ice cream.


This page was fun.  The pictures are too cute!

after a short leave of absence.....

Hey there,
I am finally back online at home.  I started a new temp job on Feb 25th.  It will end around the 15th of April (if not sooner).  I interviewed for this other job last week.  I really really want it.  It's perfect for me in so many ways.  I find out around Monday if I get it or not.  Wish me luck and send your good positive vibes my way.  

I finished the hawaii album and it will be delivered to my friend's mom on Sunday.
Here are the rest of the pages:






















I've even made some pages for my 2007 album:

latest work...

I've been busy creating scrapbook pages and looking for a new job.

Here are some pages I've completed lately:

A few things to note:  All these pages are 12"x12" (except for the last one - 9"x9.5") and the corners are rounded (you can't tell this by the scans).  I am almost done the hawaii album I am doing for my friend's parents.  The felt bird on the "hawaiian sunsets" layout is actually green.  I have no idea why it scanned a brownish color.  I used Becky Higgin's sketches for most of these.  They are super helpful if you get stuck or need some inspiration.  I find this happens to me a lot.

biggity bam.....

I created a couple more pages and a card (which will be revealed later after the recipient gets it).  Once again these are for challenges on my "whores" 
group on myspace.  
They are lifts of someone else's designs.


This one is from a couple years ago, when I took a road trip from California to Oregon with my dad.

This one is for my friend's wedding album that I started a couple years ago.  I'm almost done... boy can I procrastinate.

I went to the DMV today to get my license renewed.  It was quick and I just have to wait for a week to get my new license.  They gave me this temporary one till then.

I had lunch with a couple of old friends today.  It was nice to catch up with them.

Other than that, not much is going on.  I'm kind of in "hermit mode".  Hibernating for the winter or something.  

TV, Layouts and life....

Well, I've been watching Mr. Show through my netflix and I've really enjoyed it so far.  Bob and David are freakin' hilarious.  If you haven't seen it, it's kind of a sketch type show.  Quite funny and it was on HBO when it first started (in the late 90s) so you know what that means.  Yep, lots of cursing.  I find myself laughing out loud in my apartment alone.  :)

Anyway, other than that, not much is going on.  Just scrapping...  here are two pages I finished today.  The scans aren't the best, but hopefully they will give you an idea.  The pages look much better IRL.






I have to say, I'm in love with these angel wing stamps I picked up a while ago.  They are soooo awesome and I've used them on three layouts in the past week.  Craziness.  Another item I've been using a lot lately is chipboard letters.  Not sure why I just started this recently.... I've had chipboard alphabets for a while.... but I've been using a lot of my supplies lately, instead of collecting stuff to use.  I have an organization problem, which I am noticing when I look for things to scrap with from my stash.  I don't always know what I have and through my organization, I've found a few duplicates.  Paper, stickers, etc.  Luckily, not high dollar items, but still.  It's frustrating to have too much stuff and feel like I never will use it all up!  grr....

I'm gonna have to get a better organization system down.  It takes too long to decide what paper to use for each page.  I also don't realize what I have and get ideas for other projects while I'm looking for something else.  Ugh...

New pages and some therapy...

I made a couple layouts and one of them was an emotional roller coaster.  It was a good exercise for me, though.  Helped me to sit down, think about the good and bad about a situation and journal and create (the therapeutic part).  


I've been scrapbooking a lot these days.... cards are kind of taking a backseat (though, they are still my first LOVE). Most of the layouts I've been doing are challenges from the ladies on my myspace group.    It's been great motivation!
