Go Roos! Rhinestones are addicting...

Rhinestones are addicting. Friday is school spirit day at my daughters school, so I made her a shirt. I had some new crystals to try out and had some blue in my stash. Worked out perfectly as our colors are black and blue... Check it out - I love it! Gotta make myself one now. :)



All this creativity lately inspired me to reopen my Little Me Beads Etsy store.

Rhinestone Designs

Since I'm not using my Klic-n-Kut for paper scrapping anymore, I started using it for making rhinestone designs. Just getting started, but here's a few that I've done.






Just ordered a boatload of rhinestones so I've got some playtime ahead of me. Yay!

P.S. The alligator was created from a doodle by the Scrappin Cop. (See my links...)

Record snowfalls in TX, seems a good time to scrap...

Long time, no post. :)

FINALLY finished my sorority scrapbook for 2008-2009, so I'm back to working on my own personal pages again. Yay! I'm committed to doing the scrapbook this year as well, but have opted to do a simple photobook this time. I've been very diligent so far at keeping that current. Our chapter year just began, but I already have pictures of 6 events(!!!), but again, am happy to report they are already put into an ongoing project on Shutterfly.

I was going through and showing DD her baby book (what is done of it so far) and she seemed to really get a kick out of looking at it. For me though, it was a reminder that I have numerous placeholders waiting for completed pages, so I've started on that this evening...

Star Spangled Fourth

Last week marked the 2nd anniversary of Jessica Spragues website. There were daily freebies and challenges, of which I participated in only the Day 7 one. :) Oh well, I scrapped with my mom on Friday night, so I guess my mojo was flowing this weekend as I actually did 6 pages in three days. Not my best, but it was at least something. :) I was inspired by the Day 7 template freebie and this awesome sparkle freebie over at BusyScrappin. Here was my finished layout for the Day 7 challenge:

Font is Century Gothic
Brushes are "2005" from the DateDots set by Amber Clegg Designs and "Fireworks" from the Home of the Brave set by Sande Krieger
Template by Molly Schneider aka sweetmollymac
"Sparkles" background by L.Kizer aka Busyscrappin.

Thanks for looking!

Disney on Ice

We went to Disney on Ice last Thursday, and I scrapped it on Friday. That may be a new record for me. ;) Credits: Simply Yin template #91, and background paper by Britt-ish Designs.

Circle words...

I've been working on my Beta Sigma Phi scrapbook. Part of that includes a calendar page for each month. Since space is limited, I made these circle words to highlight certain events. You may use them as well. Included in the download is a .png for each circle, a preview page, and also the .abr brush file (created in CS4). The full size of each circle is approx 4.5 inches in diameter. There are 41 circles total - some are Beta Sigma Phi specific, but the majority are things like birthday, holidays, etc.

The font used for these is Pea Shirley and you can get it at Fonts for Peas.
