Met some CRAFTY SCRAPPERS!

I had so much fun today! All day I spent scrapping with my mom, my aunt, and my cousin. I got so much done! Okay, not that much, but a lot for me. :) One 12 x 12 layout, an 8.5 x 11 layout, and my very first card meant for Josh's mom. She needs a pick-me-up these days and I thought that a card would make her smile, if only for a minute. :)

I finally got to go to my favorite LSS tonight with my mom. We were very pumped. I warned mom that I already "knew" some girls from The Crafty Scrapper from the message boards, so hopefully they will recognize me so I don't have to be like a dork, "Uhh, hey I'm Amber, do you remember me??" But, I got called out as soon as I arrived by Sherri and was so glad to finally meet some people that I love to chat with online. Carolyn chit chatted with us and has definitely convinced me that crops at stores are not scary like I might fear. Maybe one of these days I will get to go and meet some more crafty scrappers. I missed Dee Dee and Brook and a few others, but I'm sure I will meet them one of these days. :) And, ladies, you are all more than welcome to "steal" any pictures I take! haha I was never mad that anyone took a picture of mine from GASC last year, I just sort of stopped posting everywhere for a while and when I came back there wasn't a message board there anymore.

I came home tonight around 1:30 and talked Josh's ear off about my day. "And I made this! And this! And this for your mom! Then me and Mom went to the scrap store in Waxahachie! And I met my message board buddies! And they recognized me! And I bought some scalloped paper and some Maya Ro-- well, nevermind. But I bought some cool stuff! And- And- And I can't wait to get my scrap room set up!" haha He gave me some "Aww, you're so creative!" and "Uh, huh.. uh, huh.." and some "Wow!" and some laughs and really humored me just the way he knows I like to be humored. haha He is such a sweetheart. He really loves to look at my "work." Which is great because I really love to share it with him. :)

Check back soon, I may update with my work that I did today! All 3 of them, lol. :) And also I took PLENTY of pictures of today, so I will definitely be sharing some of those. I had my camera with me in the scrap store and was a little tempted to take pictures of everyone because I'm kind of a camera-nerd like that, but I subsided. :)

MAN-- That was a lot of smiley faces in one post!

A Little Scrappin' Done...

I got to go to Mom's on Sunday and do some scrappin'! I decided to use some of my old stash that really isn't my style anymore. But, I had it, so I thought I would use it! They turned out okay, just WAY MORE SIMPLER than I'm used to! :) I also did landscape 11 x 8.5 for the first time. I wanted to put them with my other layouts in my American Crafts Modern Album, so I had to punch a hole for it to fit in the rings, but it turned out good! I don't know why it looks crooked on the scan, I must of pushed it around too much. It's not crooked in "real life."

I'm so excited about going to Mom's to scrap on Saturday. I got off of work and everything. My aunt, my cousin, and my cousin's friend will be there. And hopefully Mom and I will get to go shopping at The Crafty Scrapper later that night! :)

A little scrap time...

Sunday I went to Mom's house and made a couple of layouts. I was starting to feel sick so I didn't have my normal MOJO, but I still had a lot of fun! To the right is one of the layouts I did from when Josh, James (his son), and I went to Sea World in San Antonio! Click it to see it much larger. It was a lot of fun and it was James' first time ever!

I am very excited because my mom is having a little mini crop party on March 15. It will be me, her, my aunt, my cousin, and my cousin's friend. There will be food, gabbing, and scrapping! I hope my mojo doesn't disappear for that day like it did on Sunday!

I've done a little bit more online shopping! I bought a Close To My Heart square punch set, a new modern album (red one!), some landscape page protectors (11 x 8.5 -- thought it would be fun to give that a whirl), and some STAZON (black and white). I wish I could scrap as much as I shop!

Also, I'VE BEEN TAGGED by Brook. :) I don't really know anyone that checks my blog, so I'm not going to tag anyone, but I love that I got tagged! haha
