Scrappin and Stampin with Savitri

I am pooped! What a busy weekend!!!

Saturday I spent most of the morning sleeping {::SMILES}. That was nice. Got caught up on some sleep. Then I did some cleaning and squeezed in some scrapbooking and also this present for M’s friend.

Let me tell you about this present… I used a grocery bag to wrap this gift. I did try to find the humor section of a paper but no luck so to spruce it up, I used my Pink Cat Studio stamp to brighten this package up a bit. It was a three-year-old party and I thought the three ice cream was perfect. For the whip cream, I used dimensional to give the card some texture. One suggestion, don’t do this 30 minutes before you need to go, you’re very likely to have wet dimensional still {::SMILES}.

Speaking of recycling, yesterday I just joined carbonrally.com. What is it?

Reduce global warming by taking quick & easy challenges.
Compete with others in your area and around the world.

I found them through the TIME magazine. The magazine featured students from a private school, Royal Acorn, who at the time of interview was the leading team (and I think they still are). Check this site out, the challenges, and the teams’ profiles. I think they’re great. I’m trying to start a team at work. We’ll see how that goes. I encourage you to sign up and take on a challenge OR, be a team leader and start a team of your own. Just remember, you can’t be in multiple teams.

So far, my first day, I’m doing pretty good, I’ve reduced 9.7 lbs of CO2. I’ve been bad at leaving my computer on and taking long showers so this is great motivation for me. I think it’ll help me stay off the computer too. Currently I’ve taken on eight challenges and I plan on sticking to them!

So one birthday party, a fund raising event right after, a spring fling fair at church this morning and a lot of gardening (landscaping and veggie garden) is making me super tired (I am not a labor type of gal). I am going to bed. I did some stamping and I almost have a scrap page done so it was a productive weekend.
